Seton Girls (2022) by Charlene Thomas is a chatty novel about a circle of high school friends that coalesces around athletes and supporters of the school's football team-but a scandal erupts that threatens to tear the group apart. Scenes between any given pair of females seem to run forever. Also, the characters are generally unlikeable because they spend an inordinate amount of time getting drunk, getting high, and using nonstop profanity. Still, the story does eventually get to the point and receives a modest recommendation. Kacie Rogers' narration is effective. November 19, 2024

Radley's Home for Horny Monsters (2018, 2023) by Annabelle Hawthorne is an bizarre fantasy novel about Mike, who inherits a large, old house from a distant relative, a house occupied by a host of colorful female monsters. The story is mostly light but sometimes dark, including a distasteful rape scene. The novel is unusual, but that's to be expected when coupling with a water nimph, a banshee, a goblin, and the like. Evan Jordan's Mike narration is fine. Alyssa Poon's different female voices and accents is phenomenal. Solidly recommended. November 18, 2024
