$0.99 -- God of War -- JM Barlog/ Alastair Duncan -- 9.8 hrs -- fantasy

• Spoiler:

  The official novelization of the brand new game
  
  His vengeance against the gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive … and teach his son to do the same. This startling reimagining of God of War deconstructs the core elements that defined the series—satisfying combat, breathtaking scale, and a powerful narrative—and fuses them anew.

$3.99 -- Inn at Rose Harbor (bk 1) -- Debbie Macomber/ Lorelei King -- 9.6 hrs -- fiction

• Spoiler:

  The Rose Harbor Series (book 1)
  
  Jo Marie Rose first arrives in Cedar Cove seeking a sense of peace and a fresh start. Coping with the death of her husband, she purchases a local bed and breakfast, the newly christened Rose Harbor Inn, ready to begin her life anew. Yet the inn holds more surprises than Jo Marie can imagine.
  
  Her first guest is Joshua Weaver, who has come home to care for his ailing stepfather. The two have never seen eye to eye, and Joshua has little hope that they can reconcile their differences. But a long-lost acquaintance from Joshua's high school days proves to him that forgiveness is never out of reach and love can bloom even where it's least expected.
  
  The other guest is Abby Kincaid, who has returned to Cedar Cove to attend her brother's wedding. Back for the first time in twenty years, she almost wishes she hadn't come, the picturesque town harboring painful memories from her past. And while Abby reconnects with family and old friends, she realizes she can only move on if she truly allows herself to let go.
  
  A touching novel of life's grand possibilities and the heart's ability to heal, The Inn at Rose Harbor is a welcome introduction to an unforgettable set of friends.

FREE -- Keep This to Yourself -- Tom Ryan/ Michael Crouch -- 8.7 hrs -- thriller

Narrator Michael Crouch delivers an intense performance of a teen thriller that demands the listener's attention until the very end. One year after his best friend, Connor, was the last victim of a serial killer, Mac stumbles upon a clue. Drawn into the search, and with the help of his new, very attractive friend Quill, Connor discovers that the killer couldn’t have been a random drifter. Crouch’s talent for creating distinct voices and conveying a range of ages and genders makes it easy for listeners to know which character is speaking. The tension between characters as they come closer to each other, and closer to learning the identity of the killer, is made visceral by Crouch’s emotional connection to them.

FREE -- Storm and Fury -- Jennifer L Armentrout/ Lauren Fortgang -- 14.3 hrs -- fantasy

The Harbinger Series (book 1)

Lauren Fortgang expertly narrates this audiobook, the first in a new dark fantasy series. Trinity lives in a community safeguarded by wardens, gargoyle shape-shifters that keep everyone safe from demons. When word reaches her clan that a mysterious force is wiping out demons and wardens on the outside, Trinity and her new companion, Zayne, must master their secret powers for the good of their loved ones and community. Fortgang's expressive narration captures the sarcastic and raw tone of the teenage protagonists. Fortgang also excels at delivering the suspense of daring escapes and fights. This is truly an excellent introduction to a highly anticipated series.

Week 14 -- A favorite SYNC narrator, Michael Crouch is the voice that brings you Canadian author Tom Ryan's award-winning KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF. The tension is high, the clues are clever, and this is probably best enjoyed in daylight. The book won the 2020 International Thriller Writers’ Best Teen Thriller, and Crouch delivers it with all the requisite voices to make the characters drop vividly into your headphones. If this is your jam, you’ll be happy to know that both author and narrator have lots more for you to borrow from the library. Hear from Crouch about why he enjoyed narrating this audiobook in his video, below.

The first book in Jennifer L. Armentrout’s “The Harbinger” dark fantasy series, STORM AND FURY, is delivered with expertise by narrator Lauren Fortgang. In this one, there are secret powers, some romance, and a community threatened by demons. Fortgang puts you right in their midst, and that’s a good thing if you love fantasy series. Once you tear through this first episode, you can look for more in the series, including RAGE AND RUIN (Book 2) and GRACE AND GLORY (Book 3). Fortgang narrates a wide variety of other authors, many of whom also write suspenseful fantasies, so you should be set if you’ve got a library card.

$4.99 -- Have Space Suit—Will Travel -- Robert A Heinlein/ Mark Turetsky -- 8.9 hrs -- sci-fi

Staff Pick

From the mind of the storyteller who has captured the imagination of readers from around the world and across generations comes this classic work of science fiction.

First prize in the Skyway Soap slogan contest was an all-expenses-paid trip to the moon. The consolation prize was an authentic space suit, and when scientifically minded high school senior Kip Russell won it, he knew for certain he would use it one day to make a sojourn of his own to the stars. But "one day" comes sooner than he thinks when he tries the suit on in his backyard—and finds himself worlds away, a prisoner aboard a space pirate's ship. The whole thing seems like a bad dream until he discovers he's not the only prisoner on board. Kip—along with the daughter of a world-renowned scientist and a beautiful creature from another planet—has been kidnapped by a monstrous extraterrestrial, and they are heading straight for what could be Kip's final destination.
