She is willing to risk everything in order to keep the wild mustang herds near her home in Nevada free from capture...especially a legendary band of mustangs known as the Lost Herd. Christa inspires her sister, her best friend, and her best friend's brother (her first crush) to join in her quest. When a tragic accident breaks Christa's heart and her spirit, only the Lost Herd can bring her back to life. But then a storm traps the mustangs in a flooded canyon and Christa will need more than luck to save them. Inspired by a real horse rescue, this story is about Christa's fascination with an endangered herd of wild horses and how her special connection with them inspires her to look beyond her own unforgivable mistakes and try again. She rises up to become a horse advocate at 14, whose passion and heart move an entire town to take action. In the vein of Wild Horse Annie , The Horse Whisperer , and The Black Stallion , Christa's Luck is an epic adventure story of courage, friendship, and freedom. Note to adults: Although Christa's Luck is young adult fiction, you can still enjoy this novel even if you don't know Taylor Swift's songs by heart, who One Direction is, what Snapchat is, or whether Wrangler jeans are cooler than Levi's. The Author Jennifer Grais is a singer-songwriter who recorded several albums in Los Angeles and Nashville and toured as Jackson Browne's background singer. When she met Michael and they moved to the rural area of Topanga Canyon, CA, her childhood passion for horses was rekindled. In December 2006, she was captivated by footage of a horse rescue that took place during a flood in the Netherlands at the hands of women riders. The drama of the rescue inspired the novel, "Christa's Luck," a young adult novel co-authored by Michael Grais. Research for the novel exposed Jennifer to the unfolding drama of the wild mustangs in the western United States and became the primary plot of the book. Michael Grais has written and produced movies of domestic and international acclaim including Death Hunt, Poltergeist, Poltergeist II, Marked for Death and Cool World and more. Michael has also contributed to the book Why We Write and has taught filmmaking at University of New Mexico and in various workshops abroad. After attending New York University's Film School and Emerson College, he earned his MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Oregon. Read more about Michael Grais. Michael and Jennifer currently live in Northern California with their horse, Solo and two cats Francesca and Finnegan.

Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator by Karina Fabian

Written by: Karina Fabian Narrated by: Becky Parker Length: 10 hrs and 23 mins Format: Unabridged When zombie exterminator Neeta Lyffe gets sued because a zombie she set afire stumbles onto a lawyer's back porch, she needs money, fast. So she agrees to train apprentice exterminators in a reality TV show that makes Survivor look like a game of tag. But that's nothing compared to having to deal with crazy directors, bickering contestants and paparazzi. Can she keep her ratings up, her bills paid and her apprentices alive and still keep her sanity? I had a BLAST producing this audiobook! SO fun and SO well written that even those who may have an aversion to the zombie genre (as I admittedly had until this) will thoroughly enjoy! There were times I was laughing so hard in the sound booth I had to pull myself together before I could continue. (Sorry, no audio out-takes provided. But you won't need them. The book is such fun!)

On the rugged Washington coast stands an ancient house with a macabre history. Housekeeper, Mrs. Soule never ages, but fades in and out of shadows and appears in mirrors when she's not there. The stairwells, the storeroom, a third floor bedroom, all reveal murder and suicide for those with The Gift...the ability to see ghosts. Entering the grand door of Hook House is easy...leaving it is deadly. Deliciously scary! “If you like getting subtly unsettled, if you enjoy being kindly disquieted, this is the book for you. The themes, the atmospheres and the narrative style are clearly feminine and downright American, both features adding further charm to the writer’s narrative style. In short, to repeat the customary phrase that Decker is “a writer to watch” would be unfair. She’s simply a writer “to read”.

Can a 16-year-old girl stem the tide of a lycanthropocalypse? When three younger boys show up on Mia's doorstep, naked and on the run, she is drawn into a shadow world where a series of strange disappearances heralds a slowly spreading plague of lycanthropy. Mia must save the three orphaned boys from their brutal Alpha, a man-beast who believes humans are food. A war is brewing for the top of the food chain. I was really impressed by the quality of Travis' book and the way he uses the werewolf genre to cover some timeless issues of what it's like being a teenager with the challenges of becoming independent from parents, dealing with grief and loss, developing self-confidence, sexuality and restraint. He manages to touch on so many pertinent themes all in the context of an adventurous fantasy sci-fi werewolf story. Well done! FREE with a 30-day Trial Membership at Audible!
