    Not His Dragon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min
    Eoin Grant hasn't encountered a female of his race in decades, and this crazy person's scent declares her unmated. Fate set her in his path, and he won't let this opportunity slip through his claws. No matter how wary she is of him. After all, how many chances does a dragon have at finding love? But fate can be a crueler mistress than his perfect mate. Of all things, she thinks she's human. Business is taking off for Angie Weldon. She put her freakishly sharp nails to good use when she opened her back-scratching spa in downtown New Porter City. The local shifter community pounced on her skills, and she's knee-deep in shed fur. By the end of the year, if lucky, she could afford to move out of her crappy apartment. Dollar signs flash before Angie's eyes when a dark, brooding stranger books her solid for a week, but she notices the possessive fury in his glare. She's been around enough shifters to know the look, and she won't go down that road again. Angie is literally swept off her feet by the intense shifter, and he wants more from her than she's willing to give. She figures it's best to avoid eye contact and back away slowly. Until he changes her life by insisting she's a dragon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Diane Lehman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/106227/bk_acx0_106227_sample.mp3.

    Crimson Debt: Born to Darkness Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min, (USK 18)
    Addison Godwin is a nonglam - one of the one in 10,000 humans who is immune to vampire glamour and mind tricks. Her gift enables her to work as an auditor, enforcing the law that vampires and humans keep their distance from each other except in a purely nonphysical way. The law is necessary because when a vampire tries to have sex with a human, their bloodlust combines with their sexual appetite, and the result looks like roadkill. Alec Corbin is a four-star master vampire with piercing blue eyes and intentions to get Addison into his bed. He promises he can be gentle, but Addison has seen way too many vamp/human crime scenes to go for that. She has no interest in the six-foot-four hunk of sexy vampire man candy, even if he is supernaturally hot. But just because she audits (and sometimes executes) vampires for a living doesn't mean she hates them all. Her best friend, Taylor, was turned against her will. Now living as a slave to one of the crueler master vamps in town, she leads a miserable existence, and Addison is helpless to save her within the confines of the law. Things come to a head when the vampire inquisitor comes to town, and Taylor is given to him as a sex slave. When Addison sees her best friend tortured, beaten, and burned with silver, she knows she has to do something - even if it means teaming up with Corbin and paying the crimson debt. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mackenzie Cartwright. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/004998/bk_tant_004998_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Velocity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min
    Bill Wile is an easygoing, hardworking guy who leads a quiet, ordinary life. But that is about to change. One evening, after his usual eight-hour bartending shift, he finds a typewritten note under the windshield wiper of his car. If you don't take this note to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher. If you do take this note to the police, I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have four hours to decide. The choice is yours. It seems like a sick joke, and Bill's friend on the police force, Lanny Olson, thinks so too. His advice to Bill is to go home and forget about it. Besides, what could they do even if they took the note seriously? No crime has actually been committed. But less than 24 hours later, a young blond schoolteacher is found murdered, and it's Bill's fault: he didn't convince the police to get involved. Now he's got another note, another deadline, another ultimatum...and two new lives hanging in the balance. Suddenly Bill's average, seemingly innocuous life takes on the dimensions and speed of an accelerating nightmare. The notes are coming faster, the deadlines growing tighter, and the killer becoming bolder and crueler with every communication, until Bill is isolated with the terrifying knowledge that he alone has the power of life and death over a psychopath's innocent victims. Until the struggle between good and evil is intensely personal. Until the most chilling words of all are: the choice is yours. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Hayden.

    In the Light of the Eclipse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
    Where God so loved the world, Heather (or, as few have dared to dub her, "the goddess of condemnation") holds a much crueler hand over her inhabitants. Every 17 years, under her ever-watchful eye, an eclipse renders her land dark, taking the soul of everyone over the age of 17 to the land of the unknown nothing. In its wake, Heather bestows the gift of a child upon the land. Some believe this child has special powers; others believe she inhabits the souls taken by the eclipse. But no matter the belief, one thing is certain - without the child, the land would crumble. Most accept the eclipse and live every breath with a love unmatched by any other. This is especially true of Zoe, whose 17th year of breath nears ever so close. Born under the eclipse, Zoe understands her life is a gift and that she will return that gift in kind - whenever that day may be (that is until she falls in love and discovers the dark secrets hidden in the heart of Heather). Still, others yearn for a longer life and curse Heather's name. One such person was branded the name Kayla on her day of breath 18 years ago. Unable to comprehend the meaning of such viciousness, Kayla believes such a sacrifice is unnecessary, even for the worst of mankind. Little does she know that a mysterious traveler may hold the key to ending the eclipse forever. Zoe and Kayla are best friends. This is their story. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Treason: A Catholic Novel of Elizabethan England , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
    As Stephen Long steps ashore in England one gray dawn in May 1581, he wonders how many more Catholics will have to die to make Queen Elizabeth feel secure. Involuntarily he trembles at the thought that soon he may be numbered among them. For in the days ahead, each time Stephen hears confession or celebrates Mass, he commits yet another act of high treason against the British Crown, for which Queen Elizabeth's swift penalty is gruesome torture and painful death. As Stephen hastens to find shelter away from that open beach, he struggles not only with fear but with doubt as well: "Is my mission foolish? Am I nothing more than fresh meat for the queen's butchers?" In the light of that same gray dawn, just a few miles north, a heartbroken Caroline Wingate lies awake in her unhappy marriage bed, wrestling with thoughts of a different - perhaps crueler - martyrdom. Although from her earliest years Caroline has known herself to be called to cloistered, contemplative life as a nun, some years ago she was forced by her father into a politically safe marriage with an upright Protestant from whom she must hide her Catholicism - and her true vocation - lest she, too, be executed for her faith. Hanging by the neck is swift martyrdom, but Caroline's doubts and guilt have pained her daily for years now. An exile in her own soul, in her lonely desolation she confesses, "I don't love my husband as I should. For safety's sake, I cannot give myself wholly to him and must deceive him daily. Nor can I give myself to the One I truly love." In a few days, circumstances will force Caroline and the young priest together. With death hastening toward both of them, the beautiful fates of these two faithful Catholics confirm what we today too often forget: Our faith is the most powerful force in the world - more powerful than politics, wars, or empires. ungekürzt.

    Children Alone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min
    In the rugged hills of 1880’s Tennessee, an intense family drama unfolds, reminding us that truth is indeed stranger, more harrowing, and more miraculous than fiction. Children Alone follows the true-life story of young Edmund Buck Yarbro and his sister Alice Delilah, detailing their struggles to survive against all odds and to emerge victorious over a series of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. At tender, young ages, Edmund, Alice, and their three siblings - one of whom is mentally challenged - tragically lose their mother, an event that takes the family on an intense downward spiral into misery, despair, and the ultimate nightmare. As a single parent of a house full of children, Edmund and Alice’s father Milton Jasper feels the need to remarry, and within a year he has brought home a new wife to serve as a mother figure in his household. But the situation isn’t quite as simple - or as idyllic - as that. Milton Jasper and his children never could have anticipated the living hell his new wife would make of their lives and her evil attempts to tear the family apart forever. Edmund, Alice, and their siblings are soon terrorized by on onslaught of abuse and mistreatment at the hands of their new stepmother. Their formerly happy lives are plunged into a dismal world where survival is key and where nothing matters but the next moment. Little do they know that their situation is about to deteriorate even further. When Edmund and Alice’s stepmother gives birth to her first child, she becomes an even harder, crueler mistress. Even Milton Jasper’s love for his children does not prove valiant enough to save Alice and Edmund, only 10 and 11 years old, respectively, from being cast out of the family forever. Turned out of the house by their stepmother one cold, frozen night during a bitter Tennessee winter, the young boy and girl are told never to return to the family farm. They are on their own now, and they must mak ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Gallagher. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/163305/bk_acx0_163305_sample.mp3.
