It’s that time of the month when the Gals scour the new release lists to come up with our monthly Picks – the new and upcoming audiobook releases we’re most looking forward to listening to over the next few weeks. As usual, it’s not an exhaustive list – just the titles that have caught our eye and interest, and that we hope maybe you will enjoy, too!
Out of Nowhere by Sandra Brown
Narrated by Kyf Brewer
Every year as summer is ending, I look forward to Sandra Brown’s latest suspense title – I hope to listen to Out of Nowhere before summer is over! – BJ
I haven’t listened to a new Sandra Brown since Tailspin, but I’m in the mood for a good suspense and this one looks promising – Carrie
Criminal Intentions Season One – Episodes 11, 12 & 13 by Cole McCade
Narrated by Curt Bonnem
The final three books in Season One of Criminal Intentions are released in late July/early August, and I’ll be grabbing them all asap to binge listen! This is such a great series – with two complex, damaged yet loveable lead characters, a fascinating overarching plot and lots of gritty, twisty mysteries, and Curt Bonnem’s narration has been superb throughout. I don’t know if there are any plans for S2 in audio, but I’ll be pouncing on them if they do appear. – Caz
Not My Kind of Hero by Pippa Grant
Narrated by Connor Crais & Savannah Peachwood
I’ve enjoyed Pippa Grant books before and this sounds like fun – Kaetrin
The Deja Glitch by Holly James
Narrated by Kristen DiMercurio & Dan Bittner
Billed as a Groundhog Day kind of romance, this one sounds like a lot of fun. – Kaetrin
Everything I Didn’t Know by Nicky James
Narrated by Nick J. Russo
I really liked this one in print. It’s a standalone romantic suspense title set in a cult featuring a young man who wants to escape and the undercover cop who has been sent in to investigate a terrorist threat. It’s a cracking story full of creepy vibes and slowly building tension that had me hooked from beginning to end, and I can’t wait to experience it again in audio. – Caz
The Honeymoon Crashers by Christina Lauren
Narrated by Adriana Sananes, Cynthia Farrell, Deacon Lee, Harry Shum Jr., Inés del Castillo, Jennifer Aquino, Jessica Marie Garcia, Kimberly Woods, Lee Osorio, Shaun Taylor-Corbett, Stephanie Németh-Parker, Tim Paige
I probably should listen to or read The Unhoneymooners first, but once I do I’ll definitely be lining this one up – apart from anything else, Harry Shum Jr! – Kaetrin
Knockout by Sarah Maclean
Narrated by Mary Jane Wells
I enjoyed last year’s Heartbreaker and have been looking forward to this one ever since – and Mary Jane Wells’ narration is an added bonus – Kaetrin
Codename Charming by Lucy Parker
Narrated by Anne-Marie Piazza
This narrator is new to me, but I see she has lots of titles to her credit. I’ve enjoyed all the Lucy Parker novels I’ve read and listened to, so this is definitely on my list. – Carrie
Basically, what Carrie said! I’m a big fan of the author’s and have enjoyed all her books so far; I might wait for a sample of the narration before I decide whether to pick this one up, though. – Caz
Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
Narrated by Meryl Streep
A Reese’s Book Club Pick and narrated by Meryl Streep! And the line “a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born” drew me in! – BJ
Once a Rogue by Allie Therin
Narrated by Joel Leslie
I love Proper Scoundrels and can’t wait for more about Sebastian and Wesley – Carrie
I read an ARC of this and it’s terrific! The cranky viscount and his “dangerous marshmallow” head to New York in response to an urgent telegram – but when they arrive, none of their friends are to be found… it’s a cracking story and the narration is bound to be excellent! – Caz
The Dance Deception by Becky Ward
Narrated by Alix Dunmore
I’ve had my eye on this one for months! – Kaetrin
