New and Popular Audiobooks in Audible Plus – Spring 2024

Audible adds new and popular audiobooks to the Audible Plus catalog all the time. Let’s take a look at the best new releases in Spring 2024!

If you haven’t heard of Audible Plus** yet, as an Audible member, you have unlimited access to a catalog of around 10,000 audiobooks. You can borrow as many of them as you like without having to spend an Audible credit.

The Plus catalog is only a small part of Audible’s entire catalog, but it works like Netflix or your local library. You won’t be billed for listening to these books. You can simply add them to your library with a click. They are already included in your subscription fee!

In the list below, I try to feature only stand-alone titles or books for which the entire series (or at least all earlier titles) are included in Audible Plus. So, you won’t have to worry about ending up with a book 3.5 from an ongoing series!

New Audible Plus Romance Books

The Starter Ex

By: Mia Sosa
Narrated by: Noah B. Perez, Miranda Jay
Length: 7 hrs and 59 mins

I adored The Starter Ex so very, very much and it’s one of the most popular audiobooks in Audible Plus this Spring!

Vanessa is a somewhat tragic heroine and I immediately rooted for her. She beats herself up a lot but she deserves all the good things.

I was also extremely invested in the journey of Vanessa’s younger sister. Somewhere around the middle of the book, I got a strong inkling of where it would go. And I was absolutely delighted that things turned out so well for her, too!

The Starter Ex is an all-around fun and entertaining Contemporary Romance audiobook with a beautiful narration by Anthony Rey Perez and Miranda Jay.

A Murder to Remember

By: Brynn Kelly
Narrated by: Brittany Pressley, Max Roll
Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins

Amelia Bennett’s perfect vacation fling takes a dark turn when she and charming aristocrat Tom Calder suspect they witnessed a murder in a drunken haze. However, the body vanishes, and they find themselves pursued by shadowy figures.

On the run, they must unravel shifting memories and baffling clues to expose the crime while navigating their own sparks and morning-after awkwardness. As their bond deepens, they wonder if their love story could endure, provided they survive the perilous ordeal.

New and Popular Audiobooks in Audible Plus: Thriller and Mystery

We Play Games

By: Sarah A. Denzil
Narrated by: Billie Piper, Dan Stevens, Shane Zaza, Avita Jay, Felicity Duncan, David Holt, Sarah Whitehouse
Length: 8 hrs and 41 mins

This popular audiobook left me with so many feelings. I picked it up because I adore Billie Piper and I wasn’t surprised to find out that she is a gifted voice actor. She filled the story with so much life!

But it is also a story with many twists and turns and, personally, I would have liked a different ending. But I can still recommend this excellent Thriller audiobook, if only for the great voices and multi-cast production that’s very fun to listen to.

The Justice

By: James Patterson, Aaron Cooley
Narrated by: Sanaa Lathan, David Rasche, Susan Kelechi Watson, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Luke Tennie, full cast
Length: 2 hrs and 57 mins

As so often with Audible Originals, I get them for the voice actors more so than for the author. And that’s strongly the case with The Justice, too.

I found that the story had quite some surprises in store, but more than anything, it was Sanaa Lathan as a Supreme Court Justice facing blackmail who kept me hooked to this book and made me finish it in one sitting.

Whether it’s for the author or for the cast, The Justice is one of the most popular audiobooks in Audible Plus now!

Popular Plays and Fiction Audiobooks in Spring 2024

Hot White Heist 2

By: Adam Goldman
Narrated by: Bowen Yang, Jane Lynch, Cynthia Nixon, Shannon Woodward, Full Cast
Length: 2 hrs and 38 mins

Without having listened to Hot White Heist season 1, I jumped into this. And I can tell you that, firstly, this second part works well enough on its own, and secondly, I will absolutely also listen to the first part still!

The main reason why I didn’t do it right away was that I found I struggle with Audible’s own fiction podcasts that come in very short episodes and require me to constantly click play again lol

This second part is in “proper” audiobook format though and the all-queer cast of this extremely queer adventure story was absolutely delightful! I had a blast listening to them breaking the fourth wall and trying to manage the fall-out from the first season’s crime.

The Door to Tamba

By: Ishmael Beah
Narrated by: Maduka Steady
Length: 51 mins

Ishmael Beah’s “The Door to Tamba” explores a West African mining village and the profound impact of environmental devastation on the community. The protagonist, Hindolo, reminisces about an old man who introduced him to literature as an escape. Hindolo’s journey involves sharing stories on stolen paper, reflecting on the fundamental aspects of storytelling and its impact on liberation.
