The Wedding People

A Novel

By: Alison Espach
Narrated by: Helen Laser
Length: 11 hours 37 minutes

“Alison Espach's newest novel hits pretty hard pretty fast, with suicidal ideation attempted suicide (but make it "let's not take ourselves too seriously.") I wasn't sure how to take this cavalier attitude toward such a heavy topic but I'm happy I stuck with it. At first glance, the titular "Wedding People" appear self-absorbed and typical of a...

Expiration Dates

A Novel

Narrated by: Julia Whelan
Length: 7 hours 6 minutes

“I’ll be honest… I’ve not had the best success with Rebecca Searle. Her last one was a DNF for me. Having Julia Whelan as the narrator definitely helped me finish this one. I loved the magical realism concept, and how it unfolded. I loved the LA setting and thought Searle captured the food, culture, and scene of the city quite well. I continued... Read more

“This is not just a book about Medusa, it's about the gods who use her, her gorgon sisters, her killer Perseus...and her head. Haynes grounds these characters in the original mythology so well that that each voice is distinct, every action and mistake preceded by its motivating circumstance, and each monster shown with respect and humanity. It is... Read more

Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect

A Novel

The Ernest Cunningham Mysteries: Book #2

By: Benjamin Stevenson
