What's Left of Me: The Hybrid Chronicles, Book One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min
I should not exist. But I do. Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else - two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren't they settling? Why isn't one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn't... For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she's still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable - hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet...for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kim Mai Guest.

Animal Attraction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
After being set-up by her boss and lover in a commodities scheme, stockbroker Eva Lloyd's life has gone to the dogs. Literally. Inspired by her best friend, a feisty wired-haired terrier, she starts a successful dog-walking business and puts the past behind her. Sam Richardson is her newest client: smart, sexy, handsome, and so clearly in love with his dog that, against her better judgment, Eva is attracted. But Sam has his own past. He's an ex-military vet trying to overcome PTSD who shied away from relationships - until he laid eyes on Eva. Instantly drawn together, they're well on their way to putting their problems behind them - until Sam's brother shows up. He's a detective who's been hired by Eva's former commodities company to nail her for millions that were never recovered.

Soundtrack
Jazz trumpeter, composer and author Jeremy Pelt has certainly never shied away from themed albums so one might expect something cinematic from the enigmatically-titled Soundtrack. However, as Pelt himself explains, "Ive certainly done plenty of concept albums, but in this case theres nothing Im on a soapbox about. Its been a tough time for all of us, so lets not worry about sending messages for a minute. Here we are, playing some songs and having some fun. Having fun the band may be but along the way they make some compelling jazz weaving a beguiling tapestry of kaleidoscopic colors with Pelts sultry and communicative trumpet to the fore surrounded by Chien Chien Lus hypnotic vibraphone and pianist Victor Goulds subtle splashes of the Fender Rhodes.The inclusion of Brittany Anjou on Moog synthesizer and the rarely-heard Mellotron may imply a real electronica aspect present on the recording but, quite to the contrary, Pelt uses them sparingly and incorporates them brilliantly into the groups tonal palette. Their appearance does occasionally bring a certain 70s independent jazz vibe to the proceedings but they far from define the sound of the group. Anne Drummonds silvery flute on two tracks adds yet another dimension to the already wide spectrum of colors on this latest album in the discography of the sometimes surprising but always inspired Jeremy Pelt- Shop: buecher

The Paradise Guest House: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
A riveting and poignant novel of one woman’s journey to Bali in search of love, renewal, and a place to call home - perfect for fans of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love and Alex Garland’s The Beach. It starts as a trip to paradise. Sent on assignment to Bali, Jamie, an American adventure guide, imagines spending weeks exploring the island’s lush jungles and pristine white sand beaches. Yet three days after her arrival, she is caught in Bali’s infamous nightclub bombings, which irreparably change her life and leave her with many unanswered questions. One year later, haunted by memories, Jamie returns to Bali seeking a sense of closure. Most of all, she hopes to find Gabe, the man who saved her from the attacks. She hasn’t been able to forget his kindness - or the spark between them as he helped her heal. Checking into a cozy guest house for her stay, Jamie meets the kindly owner, who is coping with a painful past of his own, and a young boy who improbably becomes crucial to her search. Jamie has never shied away from a challenge, but a second chance with Gabe presents her with the biggest dilemma of all: whether she’s ready to open her heart. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Do Unto Others: Freehold, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 868min
The Prescot family were miners. At one time, they were contracted to develop technology for a mineral-rich but uninhabitable system. Gradually, all the investors shied away. Then the Prescots broke through with the technology needed to exploit entire planets, and incidentally develop domed playgrounds for the perversely rich, including indoor ski slopes and cable cars over megavolcanos, casinos and rides. This created the economic problem of being the richest people in the universe, having more money than most governments and effectively unlimited resources. Money is a small blessing when enemies are quite willing to spend billions for the chance at trillions. Bryan Prescot and his daughter might as well have targets painted on their backs for the thugs, kidnappers, and assassins their competitors would throw at them. Bodyguards were necessary - Highly trained bodyguards who could be bought once and be utterly loyal no matter the circumstances. The altercation comes to a head inside the domes and mines of Govannon, with their enemy desperate to do anything to save their own lives, now that the gloves are off. Caron Prescot has only six bodyguards against an army, but she has two aces in the hole: The miners are on her side, and Elke, Ripple Creek's psychotic demolition expert, has a nuke. The problem with Elke having a nuke is that Elke will use it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Molly Elston. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/021310/bk_adbl_021310_sample.mp3.
