Ron & Val are back with another book club episode! Today the sisters discuss Piñata by Leopoldo Gout - a fantastic horror novel that goes way beyond your standard possession story! Val also spends a little time talking about the fruity (and slightly spicy!) book club cocktail this month called La Piñata + a few premium mezcals for when you want to be extra. :)
Book spoiler alert: This book is discussed in full so fair warning!
The next book club pick is The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias with plans for our next book club discussion in late February/early March. Want to join our book club email list? Sign up here: https://forms.gle/vpaEXSnQdbNEmPrr9
