    Beth Is Dead By Katie Bernet

    Let’s start off strong with a January audiobook that we couldn’t hit pause on! Katie Bernet’s debut novel, Beth is Dead, reimagines the classic Little Women story into a thriller. In case you couldn’t tell, Beth March is dead, and it’s up to her sisters Meg, Jo, and Amy to find out who killed her. As the investigation unravels, the bond between the March sisters begins to crack. Secrets and suspicions paint each one with a potential motive for getting rid of Beth. The audiobook alternates between each sister’s point of view, including Beth’s in the form of flashbacks. And the ultimate twist ending is too good!

    Release Date: January 6

    For our first September audiobook, we recommend Sonia Patel’s Gita Desai is Not Here to Shut Up! This contemporary YA novel tells the story of Gita Desai, a South Asian first-year college student who plans to ace her way through undergrad and later med school. But the more Gita branches out, meeting new people and hooking up with strangers, the more she’s reminded of dark secrets from her childhood. Touching on topics of sexual assault and complex PTSD from childhood sexual abuse, this audiobook is a powerful and necessary addition to the YA space.

    Release date: September 10

    If you’re anything like us, then you like to celebrate the spooky season as early as possible. And we don’t know a better way to start the fall festivities than with a spooky September audiobook like The Thirteenth Child! Erin A. Craig‘s latest fantasy novel follows Hazel Trépas, a healer with the gift of finding the exact cure her patients need. But she’s also cursed with the responsibility to end the lives of the people who can’t be cured of an illness, even if it’s the king. Inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ “Godfather Death,” The Thirteenth Child is a wonderfully Gothic audiobook that’ll have you racing to the end.

    Our last September audiobook recommendation is Alicia Jasinska’s new novel, This Fatal Kiss! Inspired by Slavic folklore, this YA fantasy features a queer, polyamorous relationship between a water nymph named Gisela, a grumpy exorcist named Kazik, and a handsome young man named Aleksey. Gisela has her sights set on Aleksey and needs Kazik’s help to set them up. She wants to return to her human life and needs a kiss from a mortal to do that. But things get complicated when Kazik falls for Aleksey (and Gisela too). Not to mention Aleksey’s possible connection to Gisela’s past.
