Thanks @brilliancepublishing @netgalley for the free audiobook. ✨PUB WEEK REVIEW✨ 🗣️Graham Halstead, Frankie Corzo (5⭐️, see slides 3) 📖SYNOPSIS📖 Nelle Quill is bound & controlled by her father’s ink magic, keeping her isolated. After meeting James, a college senior & aspiring writer, they form an instant connection. As he uncovers the truth about her, Nelle feels trust & curiosity for the first time, driving them to take risks that test her existence. ✨REVIEW✨ This book is a really unique blend of genres, making it hard to categorize—romance, magical realism/light fantasy, suspense, & literary fiction. The writing is straightforward & the “ink magic” has its intricacies but isn’t complex. The protagonists are in their early 20s dealing with independence, identity, & first relationships, so it’s suitable for both YA & adult readers—and if you’re looking for something fresh & perfect for a weekend binge read, this one has you covered! The book shifts btw Nelle’s & James’s POVs & readers get an insight into their vastly different worlds. From their first meeting, there’s chemistry—Nelle’s risky decision to give him her address sets everything in motion. James is a golden retriever MMC, while Nelle is more complex & her not being fully human but still feeling human emotion/desire makes their relationship compelling! It’s slowly revealed how she was created & how the magic works. Readers may have to use their imaginations a bit later on, as some of its intricacies aren’t fully explained. The pacing is quick, especially when they travel across Europe on journeys of self-discovery. The story climaxes as Nelle confronts the instability of her magic & what that means for her life & future with James—this is the most emotional part of the story, so have some tissues on hand! The ending may not satisfy readers who love traditional HEAs, but it’s more thought-provoking! Fans of slow-burn romance, dual POVs, & stories that balance magic with real-life decisions and relationships will likely enjoy this one! 💬QOTD: Heard of this book? On TBR? Would you read it?‼️⁉️What blend of genres do you enjoy?‼️⁉️Let’s wish the author/narrators a Happy Publication Week!

There's truly nothing more unforgiving than Antarctica's bleak tundra... except for maybe a "sentient microbial predator." 🦠👀 Michael Nayak's "Ice Plague Wars" series continues with SENTIENT—a nail-biting sci-fi horror saga that follows his South Pole debut, SYMBIOTE. Months after the events of Symbiote, sunrise has come to the ice continent, but that's not all. The architects of Have Viking, the classified CIA program that unleashed the microbes in SENTIENT, are determined to continue with their experiment and turn their mutated microbes into a biological weapon. What they don't realize is the weapon is already here and they have no control over what happens next. SYMBIOTE and SENTIENT are narrated by Paul Bellantoni and Graham Halstead and available everywhere you listen to audiobooks, including your local library and indie bookstores! 🎧✨ #scifihorror #sffbooks #iceplaguewars #newaudiobooks

Happy RELEASE DAY to @sarapennypacker and @jonklassen for the beautiful and painfully timely THE LION’S RUN ! #audiobook available from @macmillan.audio Produced by @allydemeter Living in France where the memory of the resistance is very much alive and well, I felt a special connection to this story of Lucas and his journey to finding his courage. I can’t wait for my son Arthur to be old enough to read it and discover his own bravery. ———— “Small acts of bravery can have extraordinary consequences. . . The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Pax delivers an unforgettable WWII novel about an orphan who discovers unexpected courage when he becomes involved with the Resistance in France during Occupation. “A beautiful story of bravery and resistance. The Lions’ Run reminds us that, more than size or strength, heroism begins with heart.”

Things are getting steamy in the booth this week ! I am voicing Raoul in this spicy update of an old classic. All I can say is you’re going to need a cold drink when this one gets done with you 👀 Cruel Angel by @rebeccafkenneybooks comes out mid April of this year #audiobook available from @sourcebooks.audio From @audible : “An addictive and truly original spicy New Adult retelling of The Phantom of the Opera with a magical twist.”

Who’s ready to fall down the rabbit hole with me and @sofiaajram ?? COUP DE GRÂCE is out now as an #audiobook from @tantoraudio and I loved reading this one. If you liked Piranesi and the eerie vibes it came with, then this one will definitely appeal. Highly recommended! —————— From @audible : “A harrowing exploration of the expanding labyrinth of despair and the self.” —Paul Tremblay. A mindbending and visceral experimental horror about a young man trapped in an infinite Montreal subway station, perfect for listeners of Mark Z. Danielewski and Susanna Clarke. Vicken has a plan: throw himself into the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal and end it all for good, believing it to be the only way out for him after a lifetime of depression and pain. But, stepping off the subway, he finds himself in an endless, looping station. Determined to find a way out again, he starts to explore the rooms and corridors ahead of him. But no matter how many claustrophobic hallways or vast cathedral-esque rooms he passes through, the exit is nowhere in sight. The more he explores his strange new prison, the more he becomes convinced that he hasn’t been trapped there accidentally, and amongst the shadows and concrete, he comes to realize that he almost certainly is not alone. A terrifying psychological nightmare from a powerful new voice in horror.”

Release day for the #audiobook of Volume 4 of Steve Behling’s junior novelization of CHAOS THEORY: JURASSIC WORLD Take a listen and check out the series on @audible and watch episodes on @netflix Thanks @prhaudio for the dinosaur adventure! Prod: @laurenjklein Dir: @taramthomasnyc
