Episode 3 - Amelia Atwater-Rhodes: Shattered Mirror

Welcome back, listeners! In the third episode of Season 2, B+C is bringing you SHATTERED MIRROR. This is the third novel by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, published in fall 2001. Like the second book, this one is about vampires and witches, but with witches taking center stage!

Despite a lot of interesting meta...we're real salty about this one. PLEASE READ THE CONTENT WARNINGS. This one is rough and we get EXTRA vulgar about it.

Featuring Cyna drinking the mixed drink "Black & White" and Ollie with a variation on the "Broken Mirror" here called "Shattered Mirror" (1 part each Absente absinthe, lime juice, and simple syrup, and then a sprig of mint). Intro theme - "Let It In" by Josh Woodward. 

Bonus content! Have a gander at Cyna's and Ollie's drink set ups over on Twitter.

Next time: ALL JUST GLASS, the much better sequel to Shattered Mirror! Chiller and Chillest tier patrons will receive this episode a few WEEKS before it goes public!
