Gather Audiobook Novels & Stories

Damn it. I called up social media and checked out the book groups I was a member of. I asked for dirty age gap recommendations in an anonymous post, and the advice came flooding in from loads of filthy romance bookworms. The list was incredible. My ears were already desperate for the audio. I typed out thank yous and added books to my playlist at lightning speed, setting one up right away. I couldn’t help myself.

Her fingers twitch against her skirt. "Fine," Audrey whispers, her voice dropping into something dangerous. "But I know that you can give me one other thing." My smile dies instantly. My chest tightens. "No. I cannot do that, Audrey. That book is forbidden." "What book?" Gage asks, his voice sharp. I stand up slowly, keeping my eyes locked onto Audrey's face. "A sort of grimoire. Like a witch spell book, but it is more than that. This book involves all kinds of magic. Including the Lycans."

She forgot the names of bones, the names of heart medicines. “Stay focused!” Gabe shouted from behind. He didn’t follow them inside. “Keep your mind on the seed! Remember the Hunger!” Then, in the golden steam, a shape formed—the Auditor. Not a student or a businessman now. He was made of glowing metal, eyes spinning like clocks. “You’re late for the harvest, June Avery,” the Auditor boomed. His voice was a thousand metal pipes crashing together. “The dough has risen. The world’s ready to be eaten.”

“You looked, I don’t know, peaceful.” “Honestly, this book is terrible,” Audrey said, holding up some thriller that I vaguely recognized. “I don’t know why the hell Annabelle has it on her shelf, but I fear for any of the recommendations she’s been giving out at the bookstore.” I suddenly realized where I recognized the book from. “Oh, that’s the one that all the book clubs were reading a while back,” I said. “She probably only got it because of that.” “Oh, that makes more sense,” Audrey said. There was an awkward silence. “So, are you going to sit down or what?”

His forehead was warm, and I knew it was a call of distress. Audrey soon returned with a book. She opened a page and looked at me. "Soul Cry," she said, and I frowned. "It is a god's ability. You can hear his soul crying," she said, and I did not know how that was going to help. "If you can hear him, then you can reach in and wake him up. " She said, and I frowned at her. "How?" I asked, and she flipped the pages quickly. Audrey had always been a bookworm. After living over four hundred years, I wouldn't be surprised if she had read and memorised all the magical books ever written and printed. She was a walking library.

And no doubt, have hot dreams about it. It’s another book suggestion from her. I’ve just finished the last one she recommended, and honestly, I shouldn’t dive into another. Once I start reading, I lose myself completely. But this time, she’s telling me to listen to it. Audiobook. That’s new. Before I even realize what I’m doing, I click the link she sent, and in a matter of seconds, the book is purchased and playing through my home speakers. I settle back in bed, letting the narrator’s deep voice wash over me, and within moments, I realize Lucy’s sent me a stalker romance. Great.

She sat down behind the bus driver as the doors closed behind her. Ellie pulled out the phone her mom had given her in the car before they had left and turned it on. She scrolled through the apps, noticing a notification indicating she had 3 new text messages. She ignored the notifications and opened the audiobook application. Her finger scrolled through the books loaded on the phone and the books she could d******d. She pulled out the headphones that came with the phone, plugged them in, and scrolled through the preloaded classics on the app. Tears came to her eyes as she saw Pride and Prejudice. She hit play, settled her head against the glass window, closed her eyes, and listen to the soo
