This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre.
Narrators have a big impact on how great these series are.
In this post, I will be highlighting new-to-me audiobook series I have discovered in the last year. These are series I prefer(red) the audio rather than reading them. These are not my favorite series or best audiobooks for the year which I will cover in December. There are some additional new series where I have only listened to one book (so far) and did not include them. These are new series which I have definitely enjoyed. I would recommend them to anyone, although they are diverse in genre.
My newly discovered Audiobook series are (in author alphabetical name order):
JImmy Vega mysteries by Suzanne Chazin Sebastian St. Cyr by CS Harris
Narrator: Thom Rivera Narrator: Davina Porter
Mystery / Thriller Historical mysteries
Angie Pallorino by Loreth Anne White The Guild Codex: Demonized by Annette Marie

I still haven’t jumped on the audio train, so I don’t have any favorite series, but I’ll keep some of these in mind when I’m ready?
I started slowly listening to CDs from the library, while packing to move to NC. Fantasy is my favorite genre to listen to on audio. I also like scifi. One of the earliest things I listened to (yes on CDs) was Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet series because Ace sent us a book which was something like #15 as an ARC. I loved it and I have been buying some of them when they are on sale at Audible.
My favorite new-to-me audiobook series this year is Rosalind James’ Escape to New Zealand series. I haven’t listened to any of your new favorite series.
I was going to say I’ve never heard of this and went to Goodreads to learn more about it and I have the first few as Want to Read! So I don’t remember it. Thanks for bringing it back to me.
I read the Loreth Ann White series, but I’m happy to hear the audio is good. Maybe I’ll do a re-read. I discovered Anna Lee Huber just before the end of the year. I flew through her Verity Kent series, and then moved on to her Lady Darby series. Both narrated by Heather Wilds who was fabulous!
Those Anna Lee Huber books are on my radar.
Those are good ones. I’ve only read some and haven’t listened to any on your list.
Just realized all my new to me favorites are all mysteries. Here they are: Ghostly Southern Mysteries by Tonya Kappes, Sister Frevisse Mysteries by Margaret Frazer, and Lady Darby Mysteries by Anna Lee Huber. Oh, and Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs (since technically this is the first time I’ve listened to the series).
Some great choices there. I’m a big fan of mysteries myself.
Rebecca Zanetti’s Sin Brothers
I got those on audio from the library and I LOVED them.
I was just really getting into audibles when this virus hit and now I have no time for it. The Guild Codex is on my wish list! They sound so fun and I love the covers.
The Guild Codex is fun! I find it easier to fit in audiobooks than ebooks when I’m tired because I can listen while I cook, weed the garden, mow the lawn, walk the dog, sew, quilt, cook dinner, fold laundry, run errands. I am listening off /on throughout the day. It took awhile to get used to it though
I’m listening to The Guild Codex by Annette Marie. That’s a fun series. I also just started Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries series by Angie Fox. OH My is it fun. Witchcraft Mysteries by Juliet Blackwell looks like fun. I’ll have to check it out.
I got the Juliet Blackwell series at the library and it has a favorite narrator Xe Sands. I think you would like it.
I’ll have to see if my library cares the series in audio.
