"Facing the grim prospect of a forced marriage to a feckless minion of King Stephen's, Rosalynde, the defiant youngest daughter of Morwen Pendragon takes matters into her own hands. With the help of her mother's spell book and a stolen wimple, she disguises herself as a plain, matronly nun and flees her loveless fate . . .
Giles de Vere, lord of Warkworth, is facing his own arranged marriage—to Rose's sister, the reclusive Seren, reputed to be the loveliest woman in all of Wales. But destiny has its own wayward plans, and when the bold knight finds himself a reluctant champion to a runaway nun, he hasn't any clue of the lady's true identity. All he knows is that while Rose is far from beautiful, there's something magical about her that speaks to his heart . . .

"The strongest crush can turn into the deepest resentment.
As a young girl, I had a massive crush on Thor Aurelius, the future ruler of the Northlands. That crush died nine years ago when he ridiculed and humiliated me to my very core. Now I resent his arrogant personality and avoid him at all costs.
When Thor disappears to get away from the intense pressure of being the heir to the Northlands, his father asks Linea to use her tracking skills and deliver an ultimatum to his heir.
Linea knows Thor will be furious and blame her as the messenger. She'll have to face him anyway and prove to herself that she's no longer a young, infatuated girl, but a strong and unapologetic woman who owns the quirkiness he once ridiculed her for. Problem is that the last time she saw the large and angry Nman, Thor threatened to spank her if she came back. He wouldn't though . . . or would he?

"Will they follow their hearts, take the safer path or live long enough to do either?
Modern-day Bostonian, Angelique Kavanaugh was born in Ireland but mysteriously adopted. Unaware of her parentage, she's always had unusual, witch-like abilities. Hopelessly unlucky in love, she jokingly casts a spell during a magical Samhain full moon hoping to conjure Mr. Perfect—tall, strong, attentive, chivalrous . . . and smoldering hot.
Faolan Mahoney, a notorious eighteenth century Irish privateer, is abruptly hurtled forward 250 years into the future. While the beautiful, alluring auburn-haired witch responsible undoubtedly saves his life, she also irreparably changes it . . . and him. Angelique's all contradictions—gentle and amiable one moment and a wild force that challenges him the next. Instinctively, he wants to protect and cherish her.
Fully aware he's to be sent back under the next full moon, Angelique and Faolan attempt to fight their fierce attraction. Their farewell is delayed when they must travel through time to complete dangerous, challenging tasks. After learning there are many intent on keeping them apart, staying together suddenly seems all that matters.

"It's time for me to reclaim my memories . . . and my throne.
My twin brother, Faer, wants to see me either dead or married to the sea prince and dragged into the deep. He doesn't care which, as long I lose my claim on our throne. But I can't abandon our people to his cruelty.
At least I have three of the best knights in the four Fae kingdoms on my side: Azrael, the charming prince who hates to love me. Duncan, the grouchy warrior who loves to hate me. And Tiron, my true friend—who has his own secrets that just might drown us.
Despite the dark, tangled threads that bind these princes to me—threads that I don't even remember—can we save the Four Kingdoms?
I gambled and lost them—and a kingdom—once before. This time, I have to win.
Because if I break their hearts again, or if they break mine, the four of us will all disappear under the waves forever.

"In the Unitam Realm, power determines where you belong.
Blind, orphaned witch Claire has spent her entire life wondering where she belonged.
She's grown up in a small coven on the outskirts of the Unitam Realm. While the teasing about her blindness hurts, the ridicule the coven members give her about her orphan status cuts deeper. What kind of disappointment do you have to be to have your parents abandon you?
When the semi-sentient Academy sends her an acceptance letter, she's sure it's a mistake. If she doesn't belong at Windshire, she surely won't belong at the Academy. But what does she have to lose?
As she navigates new friends, intense classes, and professors who seem to be split on whether she will pass or fail, her power starts to unravel inside of her, leaving Claire with more questions about her parents and where she belongs.
And why does the Stonemont Triad (Desmond, the charming wizard, Everett, the silent Gryphon, and Malcolm, the grumbly Dragon) want to get to know a low-level witch like her?

"Witches come of age when they turn eighteen—the age where they reach the full potential of their power and magical abilities.
Cricket Kendall's birthday is a little more than a month away. She's just moved to Emery Ridge, Colorado, for her senior year of high school in the hopes her eccentric aunt Aurora might help her learn all she needs to know about becoming a full-fledged witch. Just a few days after moving to her new town, Aurora introduces Cricket to a young werewolf from the local pack.
Theo Ashbrooke is funny, charming, and super-freaking-hot.

Hollis Wakefield and Cas Seymour.

"Falling asleep for almost 300 years was never part of Pennrae's plan.
Of course, when you're a mercenary with magical abilities and defy a spellbinding prophecy . . . bad stuff happens.
Now, magic is long gone from the world. So Penn works as a karate instructor, trying very hard to dodge her hot, flirty, and super annoying colleague, Callan. All is well until a Jigori—a nightmarish magic-eating monster—shows up at a New York City street fair, forcing Penn to use her Shaper magic, which allows her to transform wood and metal into deadly weapons.
Now, the Jigori's master has her scent, and their eye on stealing her 300 years of life. If they succeed, Penn succumbs to centuries of sleep again, and magic will be unleashed on a completely unprepared world.
And to add to her ridiculously complicated life, something isn't quite right with Callan. Which she could figure out if it weren't for that evil, apocalyptic plot she's trying to stop. But Penn may not have a choice—Callan could be the secret weapon she needs to save the world . . .

"Kaia has had it with her mother. Talk about touchy. Offend the sea witch and pay the price. Oy. Granted, Kaia’s last boyfriend had been an idiot, but nearly sacrificing him to a dark god had been totally unnecessary. And those deals her mother keeps making with demons to obtain more power? Not a healthy way to achieve balance. To stop her mother from sacrificing some other poor schlub, she sneaks into her mother’s lair and finds more intended sacrifices. But one of them has fangs. Needing to get to safety before her mother returns and loses her mind, Kaia, a sea nymph, swims away with the guy and soon learns he’s under a spell. In order to cure him, she overrides her mother’s magic with her own, weak though it may be. But now this male—a freakin’ vryko, a vampire who can swim like the merfolk—thinks he loves her. Curing Orion of the enchantment should have ended their association, but he’s still obsessed with her. And for some reason, she’s intrigued by him as well. But the dark one to whom her mother promised a soul doesn’t care where it comes from. And since her mother has reneged on Orion, the dark one decides Kaia will do nicely in his place."
"'Carmilla' ist eine gotische Novelle aus dem Jahr 1872 des irischen Autors Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu und eines der frühen Werke der Vampir-Literatur, das bereits 26 Jahre vor Bram Stokers Dracula (1897) geschrieben wurde. Die Geschichte erzählt von einer jungen Frau in der Steiermark, die einsam in einem abgelegenen Herrenhaus in den Wäldern der Steiermark lebt. Laura sehnt sich nach Abwechslung und Gesellschaft – bis ein Kutschenunfall eines Tages eine andere junge Frau in ihr Leben bringt: die verschwiegene und manchmal unberechenbare Carmilla. Als Carmillas Handlungen immer rätselhafter und unberechenbarer werden, entwickelt Laura bizarre Symptome und als sich ihre Gesundheit verschlechtert, entdecken Laura und ihr Vater etwas Monströses. Carmilla wurde ursprünglich von 1871 bis 1872 veröffentlicht und inspirierte zahlreiche Adaptionen in Film, Oper und darüber hinaus, einschließlich der gleichnamigen Serie. Das Hörbuch basiert auf einer Übersetzung von Fritz Nordsieck aus dem Jahr 2021. "
"Kuchen, Wein und Leberwurst zur Großmutter bringen, damit die schnell wieder gesund wird? Kein Problem für Rotkäppchen. Auch wenn der Wald ein gefährlicher Ort ist, in dem man besser nicht mit seinem roten Käppchen herumläuft.
