🎧 Audiobook of the Week. You Should Have Been Nicer to My Mom by @v_e_tirado.

Gothic horror. Family drama. One of them is a demon, and they have twelve hours to find out who. When the patriarch of the Abreu family dies, his will delivers one last gut punch: a deal was made with a demon, and someone in that room is it. The family is already a mess. Then the storm rolls in. Then people start dying. Xiomara has spent her whole life being the one Papi liked. Which means she's the one everyone else can't stand. Now she has to survive both.

🎧✨ Audiobook of the Week ✨🎧

This week's audiobook is giving us 1960s NASA, arcane engineering, and a murder that reaches all the way to the stars.

The Starseekers by @nicolegloverwrites is Book 4 in the Murder & Magic series and it stands completely on its own. Think Hidden Figures meets a magical whodunit set against the space race. 📚

Cynthia Rhodes is a brilliant arcane engineer at NASA who moonlights as an amateur sleuth. When a coworker dies in what looks like a lab accident, she knows better. The deeper she digs, the more she finds connecting that death to a theft at an arcane history museum, and suddenly the stakes go from personal to cosmic. 🌌

Nicole Glover puts Black brilliance exactly where it has always belonged: at the center of history, science, and the impossible. The Rhodes family has been using magic to protect their community since before the Civil War. The times changed. The gift did not. ✨

Today we celebrate Ghana's independence. ✊🏾 And today we're spotlighting a Ghanaian-American author whose writing carries that same spirit of resistance and liberation.

Chain Gang All Stars by @king_nk 📖 Two Black women gladiators. One corrupt private prison system. And freedom just a few death matches away. 🩸

Loretta Thurwar and Hamara "Hurricane Staxxx" Stacker are the stars of CAPE, Criminal Action Penal Entertainment, where prisoners fight to the death before packed arenas for a chance at freedom. 🏟 Teammates. Lovers. Fan favorites. And running out of time.

Sheine Lende: A Prequel to Elatsoe by @dr.littlebadger

Before Elatsoe, there was Shane. Shane and her mother work with ghost dogs to track missing persons—whether families can pay or not. After losing their home to a devastating flood, and much of their family with it, they know what it means to search for the impossible.

Then the unthinkable happens: her mother disappears. A fairy ring. A missing boy. And a trail that may not exist in this world—or this time. What follows is a journey through grief, displacement, family secrets, and fierce determination. This prequel expands the world readers first met in Elatsoe and centers Ellie’s grandmother in a story that is haunting, grounded, and unforgettable.

If you love speculative fiction rooted in Indigenous storytelling, layered family legacy, and supernatural mystery—press play.
