Kristin's pick

Midnight Rooms by Donyae Coles
🎧 Audiobook

Set in a foreboding Gothic mansion and infused with the heightened paranoia and creeping horror of novels like Catherine House and Crimson Peak, a spine-chilling debut historical thriller from a fresh voice in the genre that will leave you questioning who, or what, you can trust...including your own sanity.

Andrea's pick

The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen

A sweeping, sizzling fantasy romance filled with political intrigue and passionate love.

Lara, a warrior princess raised in isolation, is sent to the Bridge Kingdom as a bride with the mission to bring down its king, Aren, and its impenetrable defenses. However, as she infiltrates the kingdom, she begins to question her role and her feelings for Aren, forcing her to choose between loyalty to her homeland and her growing love for him. In a world ravaged by conflict, Lara must decide which kingdom she will save and which she will destroy.

Maria's pick

You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian
🎧 Audiobook

An emotional, slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine, queer mid-century romance for fans of Evvie Drake Starts Over, about grief and found family, between the new star shortstop stuck in a batting slump and the reporter assigned to (reluctantly) cover his first season—set in the same universe as We Could Be So Good.

Sydney's pick

Accidental Demons by Clare Edge
🎧 Audiobook

Conjuring demons seems like something you should totally not be able to do by accident, right? Well, normally it isn't. But Bernadette Crowley is the perfect storm of magical accidents.

Bernadette Crowley, the youngest in a line of witches, starts accidentally summoning demons every time she tests her blood sugar after being diagnosed with diabetes. To solve the chaos, she and her sister Maeve try to conjure a demon to monitor her blood sugar, bending a few magical rules. However, they unwittingly tap into deeper, dangerous magic, putting not only Ber's magic but her entire coven at risk.

Quinton's pick

White Sand by Brandon Sanderson
🎧 Audiobook

On the planet of Taldain, the legendary Sand Masters harness arcane powers to manipulate sand in spectacular ways. But when they are slaughtered in a sinister conspiracy, the weakest of their number, Kenton, believes himself to be the only survivor. With enemies closing in on all sides, Kenton forges an unlikely partnership with Khriss, a mysterious Darksider who hides secrets of her own.

Joe's pick

The Babysitters Coven by Kate M. Williams

Emma's pick

The Co-op by Tarah DeWitt
🎧 Audiobook

They say love and construction don’t mix. By that logic, hate and construction may as well be condemned.

LaRynn Lavigne and Deacon Leeds, former summer flings, are forced to work together to renovate a building they inherited from their grandmothers. To access her trust fund, LaRynn must marry, and Deacon has the construction skills but no money, so they strike a deal to marry temporarily, but their arrangement soon reveals emotional walls they must break down to truly work as a team.

Jill's pick

The Dead Girl's Club by Damien Angelica Walters
🎧 Audiobook

In 1991, Heather Cole and her friends were members of the Dead Girls Club. Obsessed with the macabre, the girls exchanged stories about serial killers and imaginary monsters, like the Red Lady, the spirit of a vengeful witch killed centuries before. Heather knew the stories were just that, until her best friend Becca began insisting the Red Lady was real... and she could prove it. That belief got Becca killed. It's been nearly 30 years, but Heather has never told anyone what really happened that night. Until a familiar necklace arrives in the mail, a necklace Heather hasn't seen since the night Becca died. The night Heather killed her. Now, someone else knows what she did...and they're determined to make Heather pay.
