I love the Rip in Time series by Kelley Armstrong and was delighted to get early access to Schemes & Scandals, a holiday novella. A modern day female detective finds herself in Victorian Scotland where she helps a doctor and a constable solve murders. It’s Mallory Atkinson’s first Christmas and she and Dr. Gray must solve a blackmailing case.

Wicche Hunt by Seana Kelly
Wicche Hunt by Seana Kelley is the second audiobook in the Sea Wicche Chronicles and takes place in the same world as her Sam Quinn books. Arwyn Cassandra Corey, the Sea Wicche of Monterey, is a clairvoyant and artist who speaks to sea creatures and assists the local police besides her witchy duties. Suspenseful, funny and at times dark, this is an addictive series.
Drow Rising by Martha Carr & Michael Anderle
Drow Rising is the fifth audiobook in the Chronicles of Shadow Bourne by Martha Carr & Michael Anderle. Narrated by Stephanie Savannah, we follow Ellis, a half-Drow, as she finds her own path and protects the City of Los Angeles.
Free as a Bird by Hailey Edwards
Free As A Bird by Hailey Edwards is the third audiobook in The Yard Birds series, a hilarious urban fantasy with witches, supernatural creatures, magic and mystery. Narrated by Stephanie Richardson, I gobbled this up in one sitting.
A Lethal Betrayal by Lori Matthews
I love a good romantic suspense and grabbed A Lethal Betrayal, the first Coast Guard Hawai’i audiobook written by Lori Matthews and narrated by Sofia Willingham and Wyeth Watts. A US Coast Guard Chief Petty officer and his team are tasked with finding out who stole top secret tech while a Coast Guard Investigative Service Special Agent hunts the killer. Sparks, suspense and plenty of action delivered an exciting start to the series.
Friends with Secrets by Christine Gunderson
I first picked up Friends with Secrets by Christine Gunderson as a Prime first when author friends recommended it. However, when I got the chance to listen to the audio narrated by Andi Arndt, I couldn’t resist. This women’s fiction story with suspense, murder and moms held me captive from beginning to end.
