Narrator Barbara Rosenblat returns to Harmony, a planet populated with people from Earth who have developed different psychic abilities. Joshua Knight was a navigator on a lost expedition that Molly Griffin's sister was a part of. Molly tracks him down in an abandoned mansion filled with mirrors in order to secure his help finding her missing sister. Rosenblat projects the eerie feeling given off by the house. She captures all of Molly's determination to get Joshua's assistance. As Molly and Joshua grow closer, Rosenblat's tone reflects the lively banter between the two. Her repertoire of voices enlivens characters ranging from Molly's two moms to Joshua's creepy boss. All of them add to the listening experience.

by Annie Summerlee ; Read by Katie Leung ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 2026
Katie Leung's Scottish accent immediately immerses listeners in the Scottish Highlands in this sapphic vampire audiobook. Rebecca, a vampire hunter, goes undercover at a vampire university to find the Book of Blood and Roses, a compilation of ways to kill vampires. After being attacked, her gorgeous vampire roommate rescues her but accidentally makes Rebecca her familiar in the process. Finding the book could break the familiar curse, but their new proximity heats things up along the way. Leung easily switches between accents and tones to enliven a large cast of students, and her precise pacing adds delightful tension to romantic scenes. Leung's Scottish accent and precise pacing elevate this vampire romance.

Our Verdict
GET IT
Trust narrator Joy Nash to make the zombie apocalypse a barrel of laughs. Edie Brandstrup is constantly on the lookout for zombies. Sure enough, some escape from a nearby prison. Rushing to save her neighbors, Edie first heads for Gaston "Max" Boucher, a brainless surfer dude who turns out to be a French vampire with hidden depths. Edie's mockery of Max in the form of incessant bawdy parodies of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST'S Gaston song is comically brought to life by Nash. As Edie and Max seek allies, their repartee sparkles. Nash manages to balance their insecurities and sell the unlikely pair as a rock-solid couple. Voices for the supernatural creatures are equally adept. Nash delivers a must-listen romantic adventure with heart and humor.
