Book Issue #14 - Audiobooks are a Whole New World

When it comes to audiobooks, sometimes I feel like a horrible parent that is always forgetting that they have a kid. In the deep of my mind, I know they are out there, but I feel like not caring until I remember and think they are a good idea to have. The circle goes on and on.

THE GILDED WOLVES

by: Roshani Chokshi
Publication Date: January 15th, 2018

 

Paris, 1889: The world is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. In this city, no one keeps tabs on secrets better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier, Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. But when the all-powerful society, the Order of Babel, seeks him out for help, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance.

To find the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin will need help from a band of experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian who can't yet go home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in all but blood, who might care too much.

Together, they'll have to use their wits and knowledge to hunt the artifact through the dark and glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the world, but only if they can stay alive.

What are you waiting on?

WATCHING YOU

by: Lisa Jewel
Publication Date: December 26th, 2018

 

Tom Fitzwilliam, the magnetic headmaster who saved the local school and effectively brought the suburban community of Melville together, is beloved by everyone. His wife worships him, his students moon over him, and his next-door neighbor is just about obsessed with him. But it seems that Tom isn’t without his enemies. For only a year after his arrival in Melville, Tom Fitzwilliam is found stabbed to death in the school parking lot.

Six months earlier, Joey Mullen, recently returned to Melville after years of working in Spain, cannot get her new neighbor Tom Fitzwilliam off her mind. Joey thinks her crush is a secret, but Tom’s teenage son Freddie is a child genius with aspirations of working as a spy for MI5, who spends his free time building dossiers on the locals. And he has evidence of Joey doing some odd things.

Across town, sixteen-year-old Jenna Tripp lives with her delusional mother, Frankie. Frankie’s convinced that she’s being stalked—and that Tom is behind it. Jenna humors her mother’s delusions while grasping at some semblance of normality. But then she realizes that her mother is right about one thing: They have met Tom before…and it was under very strange circumstances. Not to mention that something seems to be going on between the headmaster and Jenna’s friend Bess, and his weird son keeps spying on them from his bedroom window. Soon, Jenna can’t help but think that perfect Mr. Fitzwilliam might not be all that he seems.

And now that he’s dead, the entire town is consumed by the questions: Who knows something they shouldn’t? What was Tom hiding? And who would want him dead?

KISS COLLECTOR

by: Wendy Higgins

When seventeen-year-old Zae Monroe gets cheated on by the only guy she’s ever loved, then watches her parents' marriage crumble, she decides to forget about relationships and turn the tables on the boys of the world. It’s time to take what she wants, and what she wants are kisses. Athletes, musicians, poets, and bad boys—their lips are all on her agenda, and it's time to collect.

Zae proposes a contest with her friends to see who can kiss the most boys during spring break. But what starts as a harmless competition leads to a downward spiral she can’t seem to break free of. As family, academic, friend, and guy drama come to a head, Zae is forced to face the reasons behind her boy angst, and starts to wonder if she was wrong about the male race...or at least some of them.

VERITY

by: Colleen Hoover
Publication Date: December 18th, 2018

 

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.
