Ember Eternal by Chloe Neill is the first novel in the romantasy series, Souls Burn Brightest. When a thief stops an assassination attempt on the prince, she is called to assist the crown’s bodyguard to thwart an attack by a powerful magic.
With an all-star cast of narrators, King Sorrow by Joe Hill was an audiobook I devoured. When one of their own is threatened, six college friends dabble in the occult and are successful, but what they called forth demands regular human sacrifice. The tale that unfolds is chilling, addictive and terrifying.
We are back in the cozy fantasy world of Legends & Lattes with Brigands & Breadknives written and narrated by Travis Baldree. I love this world and was excited to have an adventure with Fern, as meet familiar characters and meet new ones. Baldree delivered a heartfelt, adventurous, and humorous tale that grabbed me from his first breath.
Narrated by Will Watt, A Judgement of Powers by Benedict Jacka pulled me back into the world of an Inheritance of Magic. This is the third audiobook in this urban fantasy series, and our young magic wielder, Stephen Oakwood, is honing his power, learning more about the world he finds himself thrust into, and building allies. An action-packed adventure that has me itching for more.
Narrated by Reba Buhr, The Queen of the Road by Chris Tullbane takes us back to his post-break world in the second novel in the Storm Who Rides series featuring a character first encountered in the Murder of Crows series set in the same world. The Queen of Smiles, aka Storm Who Rides, Queen of the Road, Queenie, has become one of my favorite characters. Brilliant character growth and self-reflection alongside danger, squabbles and the open road.
