The Protégée By Erica Ridley
Let’s start our June Sweet Listens off strong with Erica Ridley’s The Protégée! We get taken back to France in 1850, at the height of industrialization. Enter Angélique, an 18-year-old aspiring dressmaker who would do anything to become a protégée to Paris’s top modiste. Perhaps even kill her competition, along with the wealthy class who caused her parents’ and sister’s deaths. But her ambitions start to take over her life, turning her into the very people she’s after. This anti-historical horror audiobook was so brilliant and had a twist ending we couldn’t see coming!
Release date: June 10

Vesuvius By Cass Biehn
You can probably guess where we’re traveling next with this June audiobook. Vesuvius by Cass Biehn transports us to the Ancient Roman city of Pompeii, only days before the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This historical fantasy highlights the journey between Felix, a thief who steals the god Mercury’s helmet, and Loren, an oracle and temple attendant of the goddess Isis. Loren has seen Felix in his nightmares, and Felix has a past he can’t recall. Their fates become intertwined as they learn about the divine reason for bringing the two of them together in this doomed city.

The Dividing Sky By Jill Tew
Our last June audiobook, The Dividing Sky by Jill Tew, flashes forward to Boston in the year 2364. Imagine a dystopia where productivity and output matters above all else. Liv Newman works as an Emo-Proxy, someone who sells memories and their connected emotions. She inadvertently alters her clients’ brain chemistry, making her the target of the Metro’s Forcemen, specifically a rookie named Adrian Rao. A trip to the Outerlands leads to Liv losing her memory, causing Adrian to re-evaluate his assignment, life in the Metro, and budding feelings for Liv. Can they both find a better way to live?
Release date: June 24
