Mind Games by Nora Roberts delivered a standalone novel of loss, suspense, magical realism, and romance that held me captive from beginning to end. The audiobook narrated by January LaVoy was brilliant and one I highly recommend.
The Cicada Tree by Robert Gwaltney delivered a southern gothic tale with magical realism and touches of the macabre. Narrated by Allyson Johnson, fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s Mexican Gothic will want to reach for this lush story with twists, southern charm and characters you’ll long remember after the story is told.
The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown delivered a delightful adventure filled with danger, time travel, magical realism and books. A fast-paced tale with twists, unique characters and fresh ideas. Narrated by Marinda Raison, I highly recommend listening!
Witch of Wild Things by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland is the story of a dysfunctional family with gifts and what happens when Sage Flores comes home. Magical Realism, an “enemies to lovers” romance, fantasy and paranormal woo-woo await you. Grab a pumpkin spice latte and curl up with this addictive tale.
Narrated by Jessie Mueller, Alice Hoffman’s newest offering, The Invisible Hour, delivers a historical fiction about a cult, and a young woman with a copy of The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Magical Realism at its finest. This story held me captive.
