Goodies for the Horde: Samples, Snippets and Winners

Spooky season doesn’t quite hit the same when everything is scary all the time, but House Andrews always make sure we still have treats in store.

Despite the atmosphere of deep, abiding mistrust (Horde, you fool of a Took!), there is in fact an Inheritance audiobook. It exists. It dual POVs. It will be released just as soon as the final audio edits are completed.

I’m bringing you proof with snippets of Elias, narrated by the very talented and versatile James Konicek. Yes, the same James Konicek who voices Mahon in the Graphic Audio Kate Daniels adaptation, but gorgeously hmmm-y here in a completely different way. Prepare your swoon receptors accordingly.

Three samples for you today, the last one with mild spoiler warning in case you have kept yourself spoiler-free until now:

If you want to imagine how the duets will sound before we share those teasers, Ilona previously shared a tour de force Ada sample from Hillary Huber here.

A treat for the road

Ilona shared a surprise snippet from a short story extra over on Facebook, and as tradition goes, I’m pasting it here for everyone who missed it/doesn’t do social media.

“They reached his office, where Lina sat at a pristine desk, presenting the last line of defense to the visitors. The desk was crafted from polished metal with a single white orchid growing from a simple pot. His secretary chose to match the orchid today.  A white dress hugged her body, perfectly tailored and form-fitting, yet elegant. Her deep emerald hair, wrapped in a trendy twist, shimmered with beryl highlights.  Her eyebrows were black and shaped with laser precision, and she had selected green and black to accent her eyes and mauve to tint her lips. As always, the effect was stunning.

Unfortunately, his protege had referred to that precise shade of mauve as “hot dog lips,” and now he could not divorce himself from it. Mentoring Arabella came with its own annoyances.”

What will this be an extra for? That’s for us to wonder, and our chalant book-attracting pheromones to manifest. I’m sure no one will overreact hehe.
