I debated a lot about what topics I wanted to post about for Audiobook Month. I’ve been really busy and tired, so I haven’t been spending as much time in the blogosphere lately. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to promote some of my favorite “hidden gems” audiobook series that I think deserve more attention than they’re getting. This is by no means a complete list, but I hope that you’re able to find at least one new series to try. The stories are all awesome and the performances by the narrators is spot on. These are in no particular order.
She Dreams of Fire (Hammer of Witches #1) by M. K. Gibson read by Xe Sands
This is a dark UF series that focuses mostly on witches and magic, but also mythical creatures. See my review here.
The Women’s War (The Women’s War #1) by Jenna Glass read by Robin Miles
A dark story with magic and women fighting the the patriarchy of the society. This is the first book by this author under this pen name, but she’s also written books under the name Jenna Black, among others. You can see my review of this book here.
The Rules of Supervillainy (The Supervillainy Saga #1) by C.T. Phipps read by Jeffrey Kafer
If you like anti-heroes, this is a fun series that follows a supervillain. So many pop culture references that are so much fun. You can read my review here.
The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant (Fred, the Vampire Accountant #1) by Drew Hayes read by Kirby Heyborne
I stumbled upon this book on Audible. I have to say that it was the title that caught my eye. This series is a fun UF series with not just vampires. You can read my review of the first book of the series here.
Nice Dragons Finish Last (Heartstrikers #1) by Rachel Aaron read by Vikas Adam
OMG, this series is so funny about a dragon that is too nice. Magic is a large part of this series too. This series is complete, so there’s nothing to keep you from starting it now. See my review for this book here.
I Hunt Killers (Jasper Dent #1) Barry Lyga read by Charlie Thurston
This is a great young adult series (of which I don’t read a lot of, but this is great one). The main character is the son of a serial killer and he helps the cops catch similar serial killers. This is a complete trilogy. You can read my review here.
Dread Nation (Dread Nation #1) by Justina Ireland read by Bahni Turpin
This is an alternate history story set in around the time of the Civil War. Jane McKeene is a young black girl that is “studying to become an Attendant, trained in both weaponry and etiquette to protect the well-to-do.” She has no fear in fighting zombies and really takes the lead when zombies start to take over. You can read my full audiobook review here.
Villains Rule (The Shadow Master #1) by M. K. Gibson read by Jeffrey Kafer
This is a hilarious series about a supervillain consultant. He helps other villains get to their full potential when he isn’t on his own adventures. You can read my review of the first book here.
