    In the Dark Places: An Inspector Banks Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min
    Published in the United Kingdom and Canada as Abattoir Blues. Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks is back in this crackling novel of suspense, a moody and sophisticated mystery full of serpentine curves from New York Times best-selling, Edgar Award-winning author Peter Robinson. One of the world's greatest suspense writers returns with this sensational new novel featuring Inspector Alan Banks, hailed by Michael Connelly as "a man for all seasons". It's a double mystery: Two young men have vanished, and the investigation leads to two troubling clues in two different locations - a scorched van and a peculiar bloodstain in an abandoned airport hangar. As Banks and his team scramble for answers, the inquiry takes an even darker turn when a truck careens off an icy road in a freak hailstorm. In the wreckage, rescuers find the driver, who was killed on impact, as well as another body - a body that was dead well before the crash. Snow falls. The body count rises. And Banks, perceptive and curious as ever, feels himself being drawn deeper into a web of crime and at its center something - or someone - dark and dangerous lying in wait. Vibrating with tension, ingeniously plotted, and filled with soul and poignancy, In the Dark Places is a remarkable achievement from this masterful talent. ungekürzt. Language: English.

That is until Seven Sutter careens back into her life.  Seven Sutter, the girl who had it all in high school. Now, here she is at the same college as Dove, in two of the same classes no less.

    Winter Solstice: An Immortal Highlander Novella: Druid, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
    Powerful, immortal, magical, and cursed to the shadows of the night. Gordon O'Caha, a 700-year-old druid sorcerer, fell in battle centuries ago. When he recovered, he found he wasn't as he'd once been: purely magik. He was much, much more. Now he shares his body with darkness, a demon gifted to him by the blood drinkers he'd been attacked by. His family and clan haven't turned their back on him. It's Gordon who has shut himself away from them. This hardened man does what he has to in order to survive: he drinks blood, feeds his sexual lust, and exists, nothing more. That is until a sassy slip of a woman careens into him on the street, spilling her hot coco all over his groin. It's literally hotter than he can handle. The minx isn't what she appears to be and, when her secrets are revealed, so is a dangerous plot. Chelsy Riley is doing her best to get by. Her grandmother's passing left her without family and with a tiny used bookstore to run. She thinks it's as hectic as it can get. When she slams into a sexy, gruff man who seems oddly out of time and place, she learns what secrets her past holds and that her future is full of endless possibilities. That is, only if she doesn't become a sacrifice for dark mages. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mason Lloyd. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/031075/bk_acx0_031075_sample.mp3.

    Marshal's Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min, (USK 18)
    When Janelle Prescott is thrown from her car as it careens off a slippery road, she expects to wake up in a hospital. Instead, to her utter disbelief, she wakes up in a jail cell that looks like something from an old Western movie set. It is there, hurt and alone, with no idea what happened or how she will get back home, that Janelle first meets Aaron Jackson. As she regains her wits, however, Janelle realizes something is terribly amiss, and her worst fears are confirmed when she learns Aaron is the marshal of Cheyenne County, Wyoming...and the year is 1878.   When an injured, apparently addle-headed woman falls into his lap, Aaron takes it upon himself to keep her safe and nurse her back to health. Truth be told, he is instantly attracted to her despite her sharp tongue and her bizarre story - a story he is quickly forced by the evidence to accept as genuine. After Aaron takes her under his wing and into his family’s home, the two clash frequently, but Aaron is more than ready to lay down the law...even if that means a good, hard bare-bottom spanking for this feisty brat from another era.   Having little choice, Janelle must learn how to live as a woman in 1878, including submitting to the firm-handed marshal who, in spite of everything, seems to have laid claim to her heart.   Publisher’s note: Marshal’s Law is an erotic romance novel that contains graphic sexual scenes and spankings, including domestic discipline in a historical setting. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gideon Welles.

    The Meaning of Grace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
    Mum is the reference point. If you ever get confused about anything, there she is, waiting with all her knowledge of you. Grace Fisher, mother of three, one day decides her husband is a sore disappointment and moves the family from Melbourne to a coastal village in Victoria. But Ian's slow dissolution on the couch masked a depression that will harrow him into an early grave, leaving the kids with a lifetime of questioning: What happened to their father? How did he get so sad? Between their father's demise and Grace's hardscrabble existence working at a local bakery, each child is left to find meaning on their own. Edie, the eldest child, locks herself into a romantic ideal so lofty that it can't help but fail. The middle child, Juliet, struts and careens through life, filling it only with what she can seduce, steal, and manipulate. Sibling rivalry between sisters proves the slowest and fiercest of burns. Love comes easily for Ted, the youngest, but when his wife abandons him to raise two daughters on his own, the perils of fatherhood are laid bare. When Grace, the distant, imperfect hub of the family, is diagnosed with terminal cancer, the siblings are forced to confront each other as adults, and come to understand their mother. Written with her hallmark warmth, humour, and deftness of observation, Deborah Forster's follow-up novel to the Miles Franklin shortlisted The Book of Emmett is a moving story of the loves and rivalries that burn at the heart of every family, and the meaning that comes from it. ungekürzt.

    The Tyranny of the Night: The Instrumentalities of the Night, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1205min
    Welcome to the world of the Instrumentalities of the Night, where imps, demons, and dark gods rule in the spaces surrounding upstart humanity. At the edges of the world stand walls of ice which push slowly forward to reclaim the land for the night. And at the world's center, in the Holy Land where two great religions were born, are the Wells of Ihrain, the source of the greatest magics. Over the last century the Patriarchs of the West have demanded crusades to claim the Wells from the Pramans, the followers of the Written. Now an uneasy truce extends between the Pramans and the West, waiting for a spark to start the conflict anew.Then, on a mission in the Holy Land, the young Praman warrior Else is attacked by a creature of the Dark - in effect, a minor god. Too ignorant to know that he can never prevail over such a thing, he fights it and wins, and in so doing, sets the terrors of the night against him.As a reward for his success, Else is sent as a spy to the heart of the Patriarchy to direct their attention away from further ventures into the Holy Lands. Dogged by hidden enemies and faithless allies, Else witnesses senseless butchery and surprising acts of faith as he penetrates to the very heart of the Patriarchy and rides alongside their armies in a new crusade against his own people. But the Night rides with him, too, sending two of its once-human agents from the far north to assassinate him.Submerged in his role, he begins to doubt his faith, his country, even his family. As his mission careens out of control, he faces unanswerable questions about his future. It is said that God will know his own, but can one who has slain gods ever know forgiveness? ungekürzt.
