WELL VERSED
By Jen DeLuca @jendelucawrites 
Brittany Pressley Narrates 
Berkley PRHAudio
Fiction / Romance / Romantic Comedy / RenFaire

The Willow Creek Renaissance Faire was a staple of Caitlin Parker’s summers until Alexander Wright broke her heart at eighteen. Now, twenty-four, unemployed, back in her childhood bedroom and old lady-in-waiting costume, she is determined to make it through the summer unscathed. Problem, Alex is also back and realizing the impact their teenage fling had on both of them. Will real life catch up before they figure out a way to create a future?

Filled with previous couples, this final book in the series will delight long-time readers. I can take or leave second chance romance, but DeLuca drew me in with Caitlin and Alex and made it work. I recommend this novel.  #WellVersed

UNPREDICTABLE MAGIC
By Faith Hunter @faithhunterwriter 
Khristine Hvam, Narrator @hvamaudio 
Ace Books - Penguin Audio 
Fiction / Paranormal / Fantasy / Witches / Magic / Vampires

Angelina Everhart-Trueblood and her brother Evan run The Firm, aka Everhart Investigations, a specialized PI firm that solves paranormal crimes. Considering Angie and EJ are paranormal royalty, they are uniquely suited to investigate. When their new client brings demons to their doorstep, they will have to pull out all the stops to keep their city safe.

Hunter pivots one of her long-running series into a new one with this title. I enjoyed Angie and EJ, but wished for a bit more on the magic and politics that the story relies on. Series narrator Khristine Hvam was excellent and her accent for Chattanooga, TN, felt spot on. I recommend this novel. #UnpredictableMagic

ROYAL WITCH 
By Philippa Gregory @philippagregorybooks
Gemma Whelan, Narrator  @gemwhelan 
William Morrow / HarperCollins 
Historical Fiction (Renaissance) 
Release Date: Oct. 20, 2026 

Internationally bestselling author Philippa Gregory does not disappoint with her new novel, ROYAL WITCH. The book’s central character, Eleanor Cobham, is really not a traditional historical heroine. What will you find? Political Intrigue. Unrequited Love. Betrayal. The Black Arts. The woman who would be queen charts a tragic course as we see her ambition fuel her rise to almost the highest heights and fall to the depths of despair. 

This is a riveting read, written in Gregory’s compelling style. By the end of the book, Eleanor faces her foibles and the reader will root for her. I’ve read all of Philippa Gregory’s books and I loved every one. I adore this one as well. I highly recommend both this book and this author. #RoyalWitch

GET A CANDLE ON CRIME
By Sarah E Burr
Spotlight Publishing Productions LLC
Fiction / Suspense / Holiday
 
It’s the Christmas season and local candle shop A Wick in Time is packed with the electricity out because of the latest storm in Crucible, NY. As Hazel Wickbury and Poppy Glenmyre are closing, they discover the body of Dr. Arielle Rush, new to the community and Poppy’s PCP, in the alley behind the shop. With their past experience at solving mysteries and their special Glenmyre whims, it didn’t take much to convince their cousin Holden, the Crucible Police Chief, they should help figure out who killed Dr. Rush.
 
This fourth installment of the Glenmyre Whim series is a delight from start to finish. The characters feel like old friends and the plot is multilayered. I recommend this novel. #GetACandleOnCrime

THE STORY KEEPER
By Kelly Rimmer
Siho Ellsmore, Narrator 
MIRA Books  HarperCollins 
Fiction / Suspense
 
After the betrayal of and divorce from her husband and her best friend, Fiona Winslow is hiding out in the big old mansion she lived in as a child. Her cousin and best friend warned her the house was haunted but Fiona insisted on buying it. Fiona’s uncle was a writer so it wasn’t surprising to find a box of books published shortly before Uncle Tad had died. As she starts reading the book she quickly realizes the story is about the house and just possibly her family - just not a story she has ever heard. Reading the story sheds some light on her mother whom has always kept her at arm’s length and is not necessarily happy to see she has moved back into the house.
 
Rimmer takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of family, security, loyalty, spousal abuse and gaslighting, with sides of violence and desperation. Uncle Tad and Fiona’s mother Ginny carry the story; it will stay with you long after The End. The narrator, Siho Ellsmore knocked it out of the park! I highly recommend this novel. #TheStoryKeeper

THE CHRISTMAS GETAWAY
By Debbie Mason  @authordebmason 
Stewart Crank, Alex Raby Narrators 
Forever / Forever Audio
Fiction / Romance / Holiday / Scotland
Release: October 13, 2026

Charlotte Webb is stuck – at least that’s what her friends think. After her mom’s beloved library closes permanently just before Christmas and her ex returns with a fiancée in tow, she decides an adventure with her fake Highland Hottie is just what she needs. Bonding with her seatmate, twelve-year-old Matilda, who’s leaving America to live with her father Ewan, Charlotte suddenly finds herself with a stand-in for her Highland Hottie and a Christmas she never expected in the Scottish Highlands.

Mason’s Christmas novel will have you reaching for a cozy blanket and cup of hot cocoa, even if the weather might still be a little warm. The characters are a delight and you will be quickly drawn into the fake dating, grumpy-sunshine romance between Charlotte and Ewan. I recommend this novel. #TheChristmasGetaway

UNCHARMED
By Lucy Jane Wood 
Evie Hargreaves Narrator
Ace Penguin Audio
Fiction / Romance / Paranormal / Witches

People pleaser, Annie Wildwood has spent her life being the perfect witch; her nightly hex-laced potion certainly helps maintain the façade. When an orphan teenage witch is in need of guidance to help get her blooming powers under control, Annie steps up to help. Though they couldn’t be more different, the ramshackle cottage where they find themselves soon becomes home. When the cottage’s owner returns and changes the dynamic,  Annie will start to figure out how to step out of being perfect and into being Annie. 

Wood has crafted a soft read that makes you think about who you are and what people around you expect. The dynamic between the three principals is fun and kept me engaged throughout. I recommend this novel. #Uncharmed

UNTIL SHE DIES; Noelle Parker, Book 3
Kendra Elliot 
Stephanie Németh-Parker 
Montlake Brilliance Publishing 
Romantic Suspense / Police Procedural 
Release: September 8, 2026

Search and rescue dog Thor and handler Rowan were on a hike with her friend Detective Noelle Marshall when Thor alerted on multiple graves. GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) identified five sets of remains in a mass burial ground in the Oregon state park. Indications were they had a serial killer to identify and a tender age child to locate so FBI Agent Max Rhodes, Noelle’s romantic and work partner, joins the hunt for this unknown evil predator who has more targets in mind.

Elliot‘s third installment in the series functions well as a standalone alone novel but is great in the series. These characters are realistic, relatable and multi-dimensional. There are so many plot twists that keep you turning the pages or listening on, wanting to identify the culprit before Max and Noelle and help find little Belle. Parker voices this novel so well, you visualize every fear, every heartbreak, every healing. The ending was shocking, emotionally charged and heartbreakingly tender. I am so eager to find out what happens next with this group and to help solve another case. I highly recommend this for both  suspense fans and animal lovers everywhere. #UntilSheDies

ONE SPLIT SECOND
By Robert Dugoni
Emily Sutton-Smith Narrator 
Thomas And Mercer Brilliance
Fiction / Suspense / Female Sleuth / Police Procedural 
Release: September 15, 2026
 
Following in her father’s footsteps to become sheriff of Klickitat County WA, Jenny Almond responded to her father’s friend and fellow Vietnam veteran, Anthony Alvarez’s call in the middle of a vicious storm without calling for backup assuming he was experiencing a PTSD episode. The encounter resulted in Anthony’s death with Jenny arrested and charged with his murder. While investing Jenny’s case, her friend from the police academy, Seattle Police Detective Tracy Crosswhite realized Anthony’s murder was somehow connected to the disappearance of fifteen-year-old Jackie Parker forty-five years ago and that solving Jackie’s disappearance is instrumental in Jenny’s defense.
 
Dugoni’s latest Tracy Crosswhite is the first I’ve read in a bit, but it felt like slipping into a comfortable pair of slippers as I read. Having Emily Sutton-Smith as the  consistent narrator for the series adds the feeling of chatting with a friend from days long past. Dugoni again includes tracking dogs. The small-town atmosphere, focus on family and friends, and memorable characters all combined for an encouraging and uplifting read. I highly recommend this novel. #OneSplitSecond

LIFE OUT OF ORDER 
By Audrey Niffenegger 
Melissa Barrera, Narrator / Santino Fontana, Narrator
Hanover Square Press -  HarperCollins 
Speculative Fiction / Time Travel 
Release Date: October 6, 2026 

This wild-ride follow-up to the novel, The Time Traveler’s Wife, features Alba DeTamble, daughter of Henry DeTamble with a mosaic cast of personalities. Alba, a gifted violinist, who was born with Chrono-Displacement Disorder, is a time traveler like her father. She involuntarily travels through decades, sliding or leaping between times in an increasingly dystopian world. She is in love with, and marries, two men—Zach and Oliver (a fellow time traveler), whose existence she keeps secret from the other. There are many surprises along the way. Alba has never lived her life in order so she wonders where she really belongs. 

In each chapter, Alba and her counterparts appear at different ages and in different situations which requires concentration on the nonlinear timeline. Some may find the depiction of the chaotic futuristic world unsettling; the vague rules of time travel a little jarring; I did not. I enjoyed this novel, which is well-written and compelling. I would recommend this book, this series, and this author. #LifeOutOfOrder

KILL YOUR DARLINGS 
by Yuvrashri Harish @yuvanissue
Putnam Books 
Horror/Sci-Fi & Fantasy/Teens & YA
Release: October 6, 2026

What do you do when your literary hero turns out to be an actual monster? That’s what Thulasi has to figure out as we follow her story and uncover secrets hidden in the small town of Applesweet. Thulasi is a good girl. She always does what she’s told, and she puts family above all else. On Halloween night, she has to miss out on her best friend’s party to keep her seven-year-old cousin. What Thulasi thinks is going to be a simple play date turns into the literal Halloween from Hell. They accidentally summon a group of monsters led by the infamous Addison Greer, and now they spend the night defying death and trying to put the world right again before they lose everyone they’ve ever loved. 

What a knockout for a debut novel. I picked this book up by title alone. Anyone who’s been in writing circles has heard that you have to kill your darlings more than once. Harish, however, takes it to a whole other level. Maybe you have to kill your darlings and also your heroes. I love a book set around Halloween, so I was already going in with high hopes, but what a fun read!! Thulasi is dealing with racism, high school, and now demons. As one of the only brown girls in the school, she just tries to keep people from noticing her. This book touches on this topic in such a nuanced way that is simple and easy to see while still keeping it light enough to be a fun horror novel. I recommend this to horror lovers, YA and ages above that! #KillYourDarlings
