  Can a priest and a rock star obey love's call? Seventeen years ago, Jasper Hendricks and Nicholas Blumfeld's childhood friendship turned into a secret, blissful love affair. They spent several idyllic months together until Jasper's calling to the Catholic priesthood became impossible to ignore. Left floundering, Nicky followed his own trajectory into rock stardom, but he never stopped looking back. Today, Jasper pushes boundaries as an out, gay priest, working hard to help vulnerable LGBTQ youth. He's determined to bring change to the church and the world. Respected, admired, and settled in his skin, Jasper has long ignored his loneliness. As Nico Blue, guitarist and songwriter for the band Vespertine, Nicky owns the hearts of millions. He and his bandmates have toured the world, lighting their fans on fire with their music. Numbed by drugs and fueled by simmering anger, Nicky feels completely alone. When Vespertine is forced to get sober, Nicky returns home to where it all started. Jasper and Nicky's careers have ruled their lives since they parted as teens. When they come face to face again, they must choose between the past's lingering ghosts or the promise of a new future. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo.

  As the summer of 2004 draws to a close, Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe are still hanging in there - longtime friends, bandmates, and co-regents of Brokeland Records, a kingdom of used vinyl located in the borderlands of Berkeley and Oakland. Their wives, Gwen Shanks and Aviva Roth-Jaffe, are the Berkeley Birth Partners, a pair of semi-legendary midwives who have welcomed, between them, more than a thousand newly minted citizens into the dented utopia at whose heart - half tavern, half temple - stands Brokeland Records. When ex-NFL quarterback Gibson Goode, the fifth-richest black man in the United States, announces plans to build his latest Dogpile megastore on a nearby stretch of Telegraph Avenue, Nat and Archy fear it means certain doom for their vulnerable little enterprise. Meanwhile, Aviva and Gwen also find themselves caught up in a battle for their professional existence, one that tests the limits of their friendship. Adding another layer of complication to the couples' already tangled lives is the surprise appearance of Titus Joyner, the teenage son Archy has never acknowledged and the love of 15-year-old Julius Jaffe's life. ungekürzt.

  We Sold Our Souls

  From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a hard-rocking, spine-tingling horror novel about a washed-up guitarist of a '90s heavy metal band who embarks on an epic road-trip across America and deep into the web of a sinister conspiracy. Every morning, Kris Pulaski wakes up in hell. In the 1990s she was lead guitarist of Dürt Würk, a heavy-metal band on the brink of breakout success until lead singer Terry Hunt embarked on a solo career and rocketed to stardom, leaving his bandmates to rot in obscurity. Now Kris works as night manager of a Best Western; she's tired, broke, and unhappy. Then one day everything changes-a shocking act of violence turns her life upside down, and she begins to suspect that Terry sabotaged more than just the band. Kris hits the road, hoping to reunite Dürt Würk and confront the man who ruined her life. Her journey will take her from the Pennsylvania rust belt to a celebrity rehab center to a satanic music festival. A furious power ballad about never giving up, We Sold Our Souls is an epic journey into the heart of a conspiracy-crazed, pill-popping, paranoid country that seems to have lost its very soul.

  Dead Man's Melody: A Sam Dunne Mystery, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min

  Fifteen years ago Sam Dunne was the lead guitarist and singer for the popular rock band Gin Sing. Critics and fans prophesied a meteoric rise to the top of the music charts. Then Dunne's bandmates, Eddie Shay and Danny Barton, kicked him to the curb and went chasing after rock stardom without him. Dunne now works small one-night gigs while teaching English literature at a community college. He's let the past go and learned to accept things as they are. Then he turns the radio on one morning to learn Shay has been murdered: shot to death in his private home studio. Soon the police start focusing their attention on Dunne as a "person of interest." It's a custom-made set-up, with him as the chief suspect based on a 15-year-old grudge he's supposed to be nurturing. When common sense proves to be useless, the former rocker is left with only one recourse: to do his own investigating and find the killer before he's fitted with a prison wardrobe. Writer Fred Adams Jr. spins a gritty, fascinating mystery authentically set in the world of sex, drugs, and rock & roll delivering a masterful audiobook experience along the way. Dead Man's Melody is clearly a cut above the rest. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Formichella. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/082653/bk_acx0_082653_sample.mp3.
