Cat Sidhe: Into the Witch Lands I by Jeff Chapman

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment

A human spirit banished to the body of a cat.

Cat Sidhe delivers epic fantasy from a cat’s eye view and a journey rife with predators.

Merliss lives with the local cunning man and is not very impressed with the latest apprentice, but she does what she can to train Saerwynn.

On a routine venture to gather herbs, Merliss and Saerwynn encounter a strange creature on the moor. It walks upright. It talks. And it looks like an oversized cat, but as Merliss can attest, it doesn’t smell like a cat.

The creature is a cat sidhe–a witch shifted one too many times into a cat shape. The sidhe is seeking slaves, anyone with opposable thumbs. Bones and blood are also in its sights. It soon has Saerwynn in its power and vanishes with the hapless apprentice through a portal.

Merliss faces a tough decision. Go after the sidhe and Saerwynn through the portal or warn the cunning man about the new menace afoot on the moor?

How long until Saerwynn’s blood is powering the sidhe’s malevolent magic?

But Saerwynn isn’t the only one in danger. The situation on the moor is far more dire than Merliss and her friends could have imagined.

As one reviewer writes, Cat Sidhe is “a big tale set against a small background, with an epic journey.”

Start prowling with Merliss now.

The Six and the Crystals of Ialana, Book One of the Ialana Series by Katlynn Brooke

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment

Six powerful teens. A shared nightmare. One last chance to save humanity…

On the fragmented continent of Ialana, war threatens. The population has fallen into ignorance and superstition. A band of six teens, each driven from their homes by fateful events, find themselves caught up in the destiny of a mutant race enslaved by a despotic ruler.

Jarah, the sensitive and insecure son of a Meadowfield baker, desires a more meaningful life than to take over the family business. Unexpectedly, he gets his wish when an army recruiter ransacks the town. Along with Adain, his good-looking friend, and Blaidd, his nemesis, he gets drafted into the king’s army where they discover that Tristan, a soldier, is not who he seems to be.

On the other side of the continent, in a fabled city, Djana, a debutante is planning her coming-out ball. Little does she know of the fate soon to befall her and her family. In a hamlet closer to Meadowfield, 16-year-old Tegan must flee when the king’s recruiters pillage her home, while in the frozen northern territory, a feral clan girl, Kex, chooses an uncertain fate over a forced marriage.

The Six find themselves guided by a shared dream, a nightmarish vision that leads them into dangerous and unknown territory. Pursued by implacable enemies, the fractured band, at odds with each other, must discover their purpose and find an artifact lost 500 years in the past.

Will the team’s lack of cohesiveness result, once again, in the devastating failure of their mission, and the perpetual enslavement of a race of sentient beings?

The Six and the Crystals of Ialana is the first book in the Ialana YA epic fantasy series. If you like swords and sorcery, ensemble casts, and young heroes finding their way, then you’ll love Katlynn Brooke’s captivating adventure.

The Council (Witch’s Ambitions Trilogy Book One) by Kayla Krantz

The Council is the governing Coven over the Land of Five, a region entirely inhabited—and split apart—by witches with varying powers. Lilith Lace, a witch thought to be born powerless, happily resides in Ignis, the Coven of Fire, until she suddenly develops telekinesis, an ability only seen in some witches born in Mentis, the Coven of the Mind. When The Council finds out about her odd development, she’s taken under their wing and is finally told the truth—everything she’s learned about the Land of Five, herself included, have been nothing but lies.

The Midnight Sea by Kat Ross

They are the light against the darkness.
The steel against the necromancy of the Druj.
And they use demons to hunt demons….

Nazafareen lives for revenge. A girl of the isolated Four-Legs Clan, all she knows about the King’s elite Water Dogs is that they leash wicked creatures called daevas to protect the empire from the Undead. But when scouts arrive to recruit young people with the gift, she leaps at the chance to join their ranks. To hunt the monsters that killed her sister.

Scarred by grief, she’s willing to pay any price, even if it requires linking with a daeva named Darius. Human in body, he’s possessed of a terrifying power, one that Nazafareen controls. But the golden cuffs that join them have an unwanted side effect. Each experiences the other’s emotions, and human and daeva start to grow dangerously close.

As they pursue a deadly foe across the arid waste of the Great Salt Plain to the glittering capital of Persepolae, unearthing the secrets of Darius’s past along the way, Nazafareen is forced to question his slavery—and her own loyalty to the empire. But with an ancient evil stirring in the north, and a young conqueror sweeping in from the west, the fate of an entire civilization may be at stake…

What was your inspiration for this book?
It came from a dream that I had. When you wrote the book did you know you were going to offer it as an audio book?
I didn’t think the option would be available to me, but now I’m glad that I did.

Why did you decide to produce an audio book?
I had several people tell me that the did not like to read or did not have to, but that they enjoyed listening to audiobooks. After a ton of requests, I began to research how to have one done.

How did you choose the reader for the book and the production company?
I needed someone who could handle a French accent and foreign words. The producer is amazing.

If someone is thinking about creating an audio book, what advice would you give them?
Find a good producer. That is the most important detail. If you take a look at the reviews on Audio, you’ll see that people really care about who is reading it. If they hate the reader then they are done with buying your books. What else would you like to share with readers about your audio book?
It is captivating to listen to. The producer did an amazing job of changing accents and pitch so that you’re never unsure of who is speaking. I’m very proud of it.
