Ear Candy: Handbook for the Criminally Insane (free audiobook)

A story about a young woman moving to a small town, so it naturally involves zombies, ghosts, blood and gore ;)
Needless to say not everyone will like it, and it does contain some stronger language, but it is funny and enjoyable.
Happy listening :)

Ear Candy: The Merchant Adventurer (free audiobook)

A great fantasy novel, written by Patrick E. McLean, which I enjoyed immensely. It's funny and I liked the characters a lot. This book probably isn't for everybody though, as it does contain violence and some language that might not appeal to everyone, although I'd describe it more as "colourful" than "strong".
For those of you still interested; happy listening :)
