Beautiful Monsters

Beautiful Monsters is back baby! Sarah and her new co-host, Monisa, dive back into the supernatural world. They recap some of the highlights from 2009, that took place while Beautiful Monsters was off the air: Harry Potter, Twilight and New Moon, just to name a few! Sarah and Monisa share the Fiendishly Fresh new releases, and gush about how sexy Taylor Lautner was in New Moon during their weekly favorite, Fiend-Fave, segment. "Sunshine" by Robin McKinley, a vivid, completely original vampire novel, is the Fiendish Feature book club book of the month! Sarah and Monisa invite you to read the book with them during the month of January. The ladies wrap things up with the monthly contest, Fiend-Find, and let everyone know about their new website - feistyfiend.com: which is chock full of news, downloads, forums and store-goodies!

On this week's episode, Sarah and Monisa start the show off with wishing a happy 50th birthday to Professor Snape, when Sarah declares her slightly morbid, undying love for him. They then launch into a discussion of the People's Choice Awards, congratulating our vampire and werewolf friends. In Fiendishly Fresh Sarah shares her excitement about the upcoming film "The Lovely Bones." Congratulations to Taylor Lautner - he's the Heartthrob of the Month! Monisa and Sarah gush about his hotness. And speaking of New Moon, Sarah's first Follow the Fiend, DIY segment, teaches you how to make your own Dreamcatcher.

It's week number three and Sarah and Monisa start off by chatting about the Critics' Choice Awards, which didn't entertain either of them. Sarah has some great teen recommends in the Fiendishly Fresh segment, namely Night Road Vol. 1 by A.M. Jenkins. Monisa also shares her excitement for the movie Legion coming out this week. Avatar is their Fiend-Fave of the week, for which they wore blue. The ladies reveal their Heroine of the Month - Leah Clearwater, and Sarah's friend Andrea discusses the wolf pack tattoo from New Moon. They wrap things up with some e-mails for a great show!

It's the end of the month, so Monisa and Sarah set about wrapping everything up. Of course there are some new releases. During Fiendishly Fresh, Sarah lets everyone know about Monster and Bone Crossed, which were both released in paperback, and Monisa fills everyone in on the return of Vampire Diaries and Supernatural. Dollhouse is the Fiend-Fave of the week, which is great timing as the series finale is coming up. Sunshine by Robin McKinley was the Fiendish Feature of the Month, and Monisa and Sarah talk about the spectacular book in depth. And of course, they share the winner of the Fiend-Find contest. What an awesome first month!

It's a new month, which means it's time to start the cycle all over again. There are some great Fiendishly Fresh new releases in the adult sci-fi genre this week. Monisa and Sarah gush about one of their favorite websites during Fiend-Fave. A Certain Slant of Light, by Laura Whitcomb, is the Fiendish Feature this month. A haunting paranormal romance that will surely be a favorite among you feisty fiends. And a new month also means a new contest. But Monisa and Sarah weren't content with just one. This month there is one for the podcast and one for the website! Will the excitement never end???

It's the show before Valentine's Day so it's only fitting that we announce our Heartthrob of the Month: Dracula! Of course Sarah and Monisa cover some paperback new releases in Fiendishly Fresh. And they chat about the Fiend Fave of the week - a mythological creatures guide to dating! Also perfect for the holiday. Guest appearance by Whitney Million in Follow the Fiend!

Hectic personal lives are not conducive for doing a video podcast. Thus, the ladies are back to an audio format. Once a month they will have a live video show for you die hard fans. More info on that at feistyfiends.com. With a shockingly low amount of Fiendishly Fresh new releases, Sarah talks about what some favorite authors have been up to. And Monisa gets the ball rolling talking about their Fiend Fave of the week: Gothic Beauty magazine. Their Heroine of the month is an oldie but a goodie. They wrap it all up with some Fiend Feedback.

It's the last tuesday of the month so it's time for the Fiendish Feature review! Joining Sarah and Monisa are Kris and Monisa's daughter, Mika! The ladies discuss the book in-depth, and of course, they highlight Fiendishly Fresh new releases and announce the Fiend Find contest winner.

With two surprise guests, Monisa and Sarah get the first show of the month started with a bang! The theme for March is all about shapeshifters! Monisa and Sarah share some of the exciting releases coming in March and of course let you know about the Fiendishly Fresh new releases, and chat about the shapeshifter heroine found in this month's Fiendish Feature. And don't forget to check out the info on the Fiend-Find contest of the month!

Monisa is sick this week, so Whitney (previously seen on Follow-the-Fiend) helps Sarah host the show! There are plenty of Fiendishly Fresh new releases this week, but the girls also chat about the Oscars and Alice in Wonderland. They also announce March's Heartthrob - Johnny Depp! Throw in some Fiend Feedback and you've got a great show!
