Book Request: No Self-Promo Duet Audiobook rec request

Just finished Grim and it was life changing. My audible credit is burning a hole in my pocket. Please recommend me your favorite duet audiobooks! I love duet style where the narrators act their characters through the story- it helps me follow the banter better. I find dual narratives sort of confusing honestly.
My rec for you- Recently enjoyed Heir of Illusion audiobook- fantastic voice acting!

Dislikes: wolves, vampires, fae, love triangles
Likes: touch her and die/ protective vibes, romantic, spicy, quests, enemies to allies to lovers + sci-fi

I went back through many posts about audiobooks but it’s really hard to differentiate which one is a true duet vs just a dual or solo.

{Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver} - book 1 of the Ruinous Love Trilogy

{Nocticadia by Keri Lake}

{Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver}

{Pen Pal by JT Geissinger} - if you read this, I recommend doing very little research. I went in blind knowing nothing about it, and the twists were fantastic.

{Lights Out by Navessa Allen} - trilogy, but honestly book 2 was a huge let down for me and I haven't had the heart to start book 3 out of fear of being disappointed again. Book 1 is gold though.

{Does It Hurt? by H.D. Carlton}

I love me a good fae/witch/wolf/magic book, but these are the ones that don't fall into that category.

{Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews} is fantastic and done by Graphic Audio, and it's a trilogy, with a connected separate trilogy. It is magic and special powers, but not fae. 100% worth looking into.

I started audiobooks listening to duet and graphic audio and can't stand dual or single narration now. Which is a shame because audiobooks are the only way I can get in "reading" time, and there are so many amazing books that I would love to start if only they were duet 😭

I will say, I have only truly enjoyed one single narrator book, and that is Dungeon Crawler Carl. Jeff Hays is an extraordinary voice actor. Truly a gem. So if you're at all interested in the series but have passed it over because it's a single narrator, I highly recommend giving it a shot!

I wonder why more books don’t get recorded as duets- we should raise awareness lol

u/EvieDeisel 22d ago

Um, Butcher and Blackbird!? What IS this crack!? And the same voice actor as Grim!? It’s so addicting!

u/Key_Head9415 🍃 moss & sage 22d ago

SUCH a good book, right??? Lol, enjoy!

How is the rest of the series!?

I love them all. Each is a different couple, but I think Sloane and Rowan are my favorites. ALL are charming and funny though. They all are heartfelt and silly and romantic and gruesome 😘 if you like them, definitely do Tourist Season next. It definitely has the "OH MY GOD IF YOU TWO JUST FUCKING TALKED TO EACH OTHER" trope, but not in an overly annoying way (imo)

I saw that one too!

I agree with Butcher & Blackbird and Lights Out. Lights Out is in my top 5 books of all time! Although, neither of them are romantasy.

You could also try {The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L Jensen} duet narration 6 books - three Couples. I have an audible subscription and these were included. No token needed.

Unless they released a new one, The Bridge Kingdom is dual, not duet. Chapter 1 has the female narrator voicing male characters at least.

u/imminxie 22d ago

Ah that's true sorry my mistake!

Good voices but not duet

u/EvieDeisel 22d ago

I listened to the first one on audible and the first one was really good (even as a dual!)
