In July, you’ll find plenty of romantasy audiobooks to listen to as you lounge at the beach, including Brigitte Knightley’s The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy and Sea of Charms by Sarah Beth Durst. But there are also some more traditional sci-fi offerings as well, like Null Entity from Seth Hadd0n. And if you’re more into horror, the slasher thrills of Mallory Arnold’s Cross My Heart, I Hope You Die and the otherworldly evils of Christopher Golden’s Carry Me to My Grave should do the trick. Check out our July audiobook picks below. The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley © Ace Narrators: Heath Long and Thomas Judd Length: 12 hours, 38 minutes Description: The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy is the second book in author Brigitte Knightley’s Dearly Beloathed duology, following 2025’s The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy. The series is an “enemies-to-lovers romantasy following an assassin and a healer forced to work together to cure a fatal disease, all while resisting the urge to kill each other—or, worse, fall in love,” according to Ace, the book’s publisher. Heath Long and Thomas Judd reprise their roles as Aurienne, the healer, and Osric, the assassin. Release Date: July 7 Fabulous Bodies by Chuck Tingle © Macmillan Audio Narrator: Mara Wilson Length: 8 hours, 5 minutes Description: Actor Mara Wilson has established a booming second career as an audiobook narrator, and she returns for her fourth collaboration with sci-fi erotica author and human-dinosaur relations advocate Chuck Tingle. Fabulous Bodies follows aspiring fashion influencer-slash-graverobber Poppy Stringer as her last job before she can finally get out of the game—stealing the body of rock star Eddie Michaels—goes awry when Eddie wakes up mid-transport. Wilson previously won an Audie Award (along with io9 co-founder Charlie Jane Anders and several others) for the audiobook of Tingle’s 2024 novel Bury Your Gays.
