Three Audiobooks to Listen to While Chasing a New Puppy
/Meet Tater Tot!
The Fat Farm thrives on chaos so it’s only fitting that in the middle of calving season we brought home a 9 week old pug puppy. He is a sibling to our little guy Theo who joined the farm 18 months ago. He is precious, precocious, and an absolute delight. He has also made it impossible for me to sit still long enough to read a book with my eyeballs so I have leaned into the chaos and switched to audiobooks this past week. Here are three quick reviews of what I listened to this week and for all of them, I listened through Hoopla and Libby.
Lights Out by Navessa Allen
This book is insanely funny, incredibly dark, and is definitely not for the faint of heart. Fast paced, completely bonkers, and full of hilarious banter. It’s a dual narration, which is now my favorite type of audiobook narration. Each narrator performs their character’s parts as they happen-not changing each chapter. Both Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan gave top tier performances and I highly recommend listening to it if it’s available to you. But definitely use your headphones! This book is ridiculously hot. Full disclosure-I think it’s perfect until the ending. That last section really dragged on far longer than necessary, but I think it was to set up book 2 which comes out next month. Definitely check the content warnings! This is a dark, dark book.
Axes and O’s by Kayla Grosse
This is another wild one! It’s essentially eight and half hours of adventurous kink and self-exploration fueled by witty banter. It’s a really fun eight and half hours. It’s very fast paced, taking place over just a few days during a blizzard that keeps everyone confined inside a remote cabin. This is one where the insta-lust is written perfectly and the tension between the characters is palpable. Absolutely loved the characters of Fox and Morgan and how incredibly comfortable and competent they were in their relationship and life. Nathan was the perfect addition to their life and it was really refreshing for characters to be so open and honest with each other. Really enjoyed the narrators Grayson Owens, Stella Hunter and Stephen Dexter.
Candle and Crow by Kevin Hearne
It wasn’t all erotic romance this week. Candle and Crow is the third and final installment of the Ink & Sigil series and if you haven’t read the series yet, definitely check it out. It’s funny, witty, and very quirky. If you’re familiar with the Iron Druid series from Hearne, some of the characters overlap but it’s not necessary, although I recommend reading it because it’s awesome, to have read Iron Druid. This is book wraps up the story of Al MacBharrais and is the perfect conclusion to the series. Again, the narrator Luke Daniels is so talented and really made the book come to life. Highly, highly recommend listening to this one and if you do, don’t miss the bloopers at the end!
