The Mermaid’s Bubble Lounge is the eighth audiobook in the Sam Quinn urban fantasy series by Seana Kelly. Sam is a werewolf and owner of The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar and is married to a master vampire. With houseguests and murders pointing to a rogue vampire, Sam and Clive have their hands full in this addictive installment.
Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series is one of my favorites, particularly the audio version narrated by Mary Robinette Kowal. Silver and Lead is the nineteenth novel in the series, and something is rotten in Faerie. Suspense, tears and treachery await you in this installment.
Turns of Fate by Anne Bishop was one of my most anticipated releases for 2025. It did not disappoint! If you love Bishop’s Others series, you will absolutely love this first in the Isle of Wyrd series. I pre-ordered the hardcover but had to listen to the audiobook narrated by Jesse Vilinsky.
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.
Blind Date with a Werewolf by Patricia Briggs shares stories of what happens when Asil is gifted five blind dates by some anonymous friends. While three of the five stories were previously published, Briggs wove them together, along with two fresh stories, to make one cohesive story that is a must-listen for fans of the Alpha & Omega world.
