City Of Gods And Monsters Audiobook Novels & Stories

Checking for 'City of Lost Souls' on audio is a bit like digging for treasure. It's the fifth book in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, and its publishing rights shifted around over the years, so availability depends on your region. The Simon & Schuster Audio version, narrated by Natalie Moore, is the one to look for.

I found mine through Audible a while back, but I've heard people say it sometimes disappears from certain marketplaces. It's definitely on Scribd as part of their subscription catalog, which is a solid, all-you-can-listen option if you're a frequent audiobook user. Your local library is another great route; most use apps like Libby or Hoopla, and you can place a hold for the digital copy. I've had mixed luck with Google Play Books and Apple Books—sometimes they have it, sometimes they don't. It's worth a quick search across all those platforms.

A heads-up: avoid any site that offers a free 'download' without a subscription or library login. Those are almost always pirated, the audio quality is terrible, and it just feels wrong for the author who created this whole Shadowhunter world we love. The official versions have that crisp, professional narration that really brings Clary and Jace's chaotic energy to life, especially during those intense Malachi plot moments.

I went through this hunt a few months ago and the easiest spot is Audible. It's the default for most of this kind of popular fiction. I think the narrator is Edoardo Ballerini, and he does a solid job with the huge cast. It's a long one, so maybe use a credit.

Check your local library's app, too, like Libby or Hoopla. I had a long waitlist for it on Libby, but it eventually popped up and was totally free. Just depends on your library's collection and how patient you are.

It's also on audiobook retailers like Apple Books and Google Play Audiobooks, but those are purchases. I'm glad I didn't go that route because I ended up zoning out during some of the mid-section political parts.

Oh wow, I had no luck finding an official audiobook version for this one a while back. I'm a massive audiobook listener, especially for re-reads of series I love, so I was really hoping 'City of Fallen Angels' had one. I checked Audible, Libby, and even the publisher's site a few months ago and came up empty. It seems like the original 'Mortal Instruments' trilogy got the full audiobook treatment, but the second trilogy, starting with this book, never did, at least not in English. It's a real bummer because I find the audiobooks help me catch details I miss when reading.

Honestly, it leads me to wonder about the audiobook rights or production choices for series that extend beyond their initial planned arcs. Maybe sales projections weren't as high? Either way, my go-to for reading 'City of Fallen Angels' is still my well-worn paperback. I just have to imagine Simon's voice in my head now.
