    Forever Lies: The Five Families , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
    Luca was heartache waiting to happen.On the surface, he appears well-dressed and professional, but behind those impassive black irises, I can sense something dark and ruthless.

    Forty years ago the Spirit of Vengeance — a Purpose — took William Morgan as its host, demanding he avenge the innocent by killing the guilty. Since then, Will has retreated behind Gar, a façade he uses to avoid dealing with what he’s become. Cold, impassive, and devoid of emotion, Gar goes about his life alone — until his tidy, orderly world is upended when he meets Ryan, a broken young man cast out by his family. Spurred to action for reasons he can’t understand, Gar saves Ryan from death and finds himself confronted by his humanity. Spending time with Ryan helps Will claw out from under Gar’s shadow. He recognizes Ryan is the key to his reclaiming his humanity and facing his past.

    Love Life: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min
    Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as a novel that "broke all the barriers...sexually explicit yet dense with biblical allusions and psychological insight", Love Life unbuttoned Hebrew literature and spent four months as Israel's number-one best seller. What begins as a story of a young married woman's turbulent affair with an older man rapidly devolves into a feverish, lyrical crash course in the anatomy of obsession. When Yaara meets Aryeh, her father's boyhood friend, she is instantly drawn to his impassive and archly assured presence. It is not long before she forsakes her devoted and well-meaning husband for the powerful, mysterious older man who seems to embody all that she lacks: will, strength, and the key to her parents' inaccessible pasts. They embark on a heated affair that soon spirals toward the destructive as Yaara finds that the things in Aryeh that attract her also repel her with equal intensity. With shocking immediacy, Shalev lays bare Yaara's struggle to navigate extreme terrain ranging from the sublime to the grotesque, the sacred to the profane, the liberating to the all consuming. Love Life is cerebral, seductive, provocative, and profound. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vanessa Johansson.

    The Winter Family , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 744min
    Tracing a group of ruthless outlaws from its genesis during the American Civil War all the way to a final bloody stand in the Oklahoma territories, The Winter Family is a hyperkinetic Western noir that reads like a full-on assault to the senses. Spanning the better part of three decades, The Winter Family traverses America's harsh, untamed terrain, both serving and opposing the fierce advance of civilization. Among its twisted specimens, the Winter Family includes the psychopathic killer Quentin Ross, the mean and moronic Empire brothers, the impassive ex-slave Fred Johnson, and the dangerous child prodigy Lukas Shakespeare. But at the malevolent center of this ultra-violent storm is their cold, hardened leader, Augustus Winter - a man with an almost pathological resistance to the rules of society and a preternatural gift for butchery. From their service as political thugs in a brutal Chicago election to their work as bounty hunters in the deserts of Arizona, there's a hypnotic logic to Winter's grim borderland morality that plays out, time and again, in ruthless carnage. With its haunting, hard-edged style, The Winter Family is a feverishly paced meditation on human nature and the dark contradictions of progress. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    King Benjamin is about to have control of his own home for the first time in his life. By evicting his uncle, he can finally become the ruler he was meant to be. Finally live up to the legacy handed down to him, beginning with King Alfred the First, and embodied in his own father, King Alfred the Second.  But revenge is a dish best served cold - or at least lukewarm - and his uncle's revenge comes just two days later when a press release announces Benjamin's engagement. To a modern-day scullery maid.  Katrin Jonsson took over her mother's debt to the Eyjanian royal family as soon as she turned 18. Five years down. Only 10 - or more - to go. Until the king offers her a way out. Marry him, in name only, for a year, then disappear. Her indenture will be paid off - and, more importantly, her mother and brother will be taken care of for life.  The wedding won't change anything about her life because no one will know the truth of their arrangement. A disconcerting incident softens Katrin's heart toward the usually impassive king. But, even as she begins to fall for the man he could become, she wonders if she'll ever be more than The Indentured Queen? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman.

One of the most cunning and merciless officers of the First Order, Captain Phasma commands the favor of her superiors, the respect of her peers, and the terror of her enemies.

His prisoner has what Cardinal so desperately seeks, but she won't surrender it easily. As she wages a painstaking war of wills with her captor, bargaining for her life in exchange for every precious revelation, the spellbinding chronicle of the inscrutable Phasma unfolds.

    Usher's Passing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1014min
    Poe's classic tale lives on in this Gothic novel of ancestral madness in the mountains of modern-day North Carolina, from a New York Times best-selling author. Ever since Edgar Allan Poe looted a family's ignoble secret history for his classic story "The Fall of the House of Usher", living in the shadow of that sick dynasty has been an inescapable scourge for generations of Usher descendants. But not for horror novelist Rix Usher. Years ago he fled the isolated family estate of Usherland in the menacing North Carolina hills to pursue his writing career. He promised never to return. But his father's impending death has brought Rix back home to assume the role of Usher patriarch - and face his worst fears. His arrival forces him to confront a devious and impassive family and his vulnerable sister's slow descent into insanity. Stirring memories of the grim folktales born out of the surrounding Briartop Mountains and the terrifying legends of missing children, Rix knows that in the dark, twisted corridors of Usherland, that dreadful something he saw as a young boy is still there. It's waiting for him, as decayed and undying as the Usher heritage and more depraved than anything Poe could have imagined. This eerie novel by the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Swan Song and Boy's Life is "a frightening pleasure" and a worthy tribute to the master who inspired it (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). ungekürzt.

And when Cathleen Donaghue discovers the poor woman's condition, there's no way she'll walk away without helping. After all, she left her comfortable Boston home to help her brothers with their mining town medical practice because she wanted to make a difference. But the wild elements she encounters on this mission of mercy are nothing like she expected, especially the widow's mountain-man son who shows up out of the blue.

But he'll do anything for his family, what little he has left, that is. Even deal with the city woman who seems to connect with his confused mother. When tragedy strikes Cathleen's family, she's forced to choose between duty and the people who need her most. And the wrong decision could quickly lead to disaster.

    Lesbian Erotica: A Lesbian Erotica Short Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min, (USK 18)
    It had been a busy day at work. And Chloe was horny as hell. There was something about the hustle of a chaotic day at the law firm that sent her libido soaring. Instead of being exhausted, she’d leave the office ready for loving. Today was no exception.  Her plan was to slip into her closet then drape her body with something scandalously hot. If her timing worked out, Rob would come home to find her in the bedroom, splayed across the mattress, ready for a good.... Today she was in the mood for black lace. She spent nearly an hour in the mirror, tugging her negligee into place, brushing her jet black hair over her shoulder and decorating her full lips with a striking shade of red.  Chloe liked what she saw, but a nagging question echoed through her head: Will this get my husband in the mood? Rob could be something of a slow start - sexually and otherwise.  Chloe was the fire in the relationship and Rob was the ice-cold water, laid-back, calm, impassive. She was the feisty attorney, always ready for a fight. He was the nerd, face always buried in a book or a newspaper. They laughed about their differences and they jokingly called themselves "the odd couple." But when those differences left Chloe cold and empty, it was no laughing matter. Inspecting herself more closely in the mirror.... Warning: This book contains sexual content and is intended for mature audiences. 18 and up only. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Cyberman 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 299min
    2.1 'Outsiders'. Earth has fallen to the Cybermen, but the war has only just begun.... Across the planet the silver legions stand impassive in every city; mankind has sacrificed its freedoms for the sake of a distant conflict against its android creations, and now the price must be paid. On the streets and in the depths of space, a web of lies and deceit draws ever tighter, and the lines between human and android, between enemy and ally, are blurred. One choice remains - resist or surrender.... 2.2 'Terror'. A secret war is raging - a war with no soldiers, only casualties.... Two species - one organic, one synthetic - face the greatest challenge to their existence: the cold logic and ancient power of the Cybermen. Earth lies trapped between oppression and destruction, and the future is shrouded in darkness. Plans are drawn, and choices are made; but the hidden truth that lurks in the shadows may be more terrible than anyone could imagine.... 2.3 'Machines'. All war is deception. As the conspiracy of hate and distrust brings death in its wake, the sinister plans of the Cybermen are revealed, and events move on a collision course as the invaders prepare for the final phase of their rebirth. Only a handful of rebels, human and android, stand ready to confront their common enemy; but if they cannot trust themselves, then the battle is already lost.... 2.4 'Extinction'. In the war for the future, fear is the only weapon. The Cybermen are triumphant; nothing can stand in their way. First they will absorb mankind and obliterate their android spawn; then they will stride the stars once more, to transform the galaxy into an empire of icy, flawless logic. The battle must end; only one race will emerge victorious. Written by James Swallow and directed by Nicholas Briggs. Language: English.
