Crave series by Tracy Wolff

Are you a fan of Twilight and magic? Do you wish someone would write a novel that mixes the two into one really fun-to-hear story? Well, Tracy Wolff’s Crave is the beginning of a new series that is reminiscent of beloved YA favorites yet takes a fresh direction.

Grace’s life changes forever when her parents die in a car accident, and she is forced to move to Alaska to live with her Uncle Finn and his daughter Macy. Uncle Finn is the headmaster of Katmere Academy, and from the moment Grace joins the academy, she gets the feeling that she just doesn’t fit in. And then there’s the mysterious and handsome Jaxon Vega, who is quick to tell Grace that she’s in danger and should never have come to the school. Oh, and did I mention Jaxon is a vampire? Crave is set to be the first audiobook in a series, so after you listen to this one, stay tuned for more. It's narrated by Heather Costa and Tim Paige, who work well with one another to create not only the voices of our main characters but also the tension and intrigue to keep listeners gripped, audiobook after audiobook. Here’s hoping they’ll be back for the second installment!

The Beautiful series by Renée Ahdieh

The Beautiful series takes the supernatural romance and thriller elements you love about Twilight and pulls it into historical territory. Set in 19th-century New Orleans, this story follows 17-year-old Celine Rousseau who has fled from her past in Paris to start a new life. She quickly falls in love with the city and finds herself wrapped up in a group called La Cour des Lions after catching the eye of their leader, Sébastien Saint Germain. But then one of the girls from the convent where Celine is staying is found dead in Sébastien’s lair—the second dead girl to turn up in recent weeks. Soon, the city is abuzz with talks of a serial killer on the loose, and for good reason, Celine is suspicious of Sébastien. There are two novels currently available in this series, and both are narrated by Lauren Ezzo, who excels at performing the romantic scenes with passion and imbuing the suspenseful scenes with the right amount of drama.

The Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh

If you love the mixture of action and romance and the paranormal in The Twilight Saga, you’re going to love Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series. Elena Deveraux is the best vampire hunter in the business—yet nothing could prepare her for her latest assignment. She’s been hired by the beautiful (and very sexy) archangel Raphael to hunt down an archangel gone bad. This is new territory for Elena, but Raphael has made it clear that failure is not an option. Thus begins Elena’s adventure and her romance with the dangerous Raphael. Justine Eyre narrates all 12 books in the series, and Guild Hunter fans love how she interprets each character’s voice.

The African Immortals series by Tananarive Due

For something a bit heavier than The Twilight Saga that still has the supernatural and romance story elements you know and love, try Tananarive Due’s African Immortals series. In My Soul to Keep, the first book in the series, we meet Jessica, who has recently married David. David seems like everything Jessica could want in a husband. He’s smart, attentive, and extremely attractive. But when people close to Jessica begin to die mysterious, violent deaths, David has a shocking confession: he is more than 400 years old. Many years ago, he traded his humanity for immortality. Peter Francis James narrates the first two audiobooks in the series; Patricia Floyd narrates the third; and Lizan Mitchell narrates the final installment.

Let Me In by John Ajvide Lindqvist

Also known as Let the Right One In, this Scandinavian novel is practically already a classic. If you want a teen vampire story reminiscent of Twilight that leans heavier into horror than romance, this is the listen for you. Set in 1983, it tells the story of Oskar, a young boy who is fascinated by the strange new girl who’s moved in next door, Eli. As the two begin to form a friendship, Oskar can’t help but be suspicious about her behavior. For instance, she only comes out at night. This gripping novel is made all the more so by the expert narration of Steven Pacey, described by one Audible listener as among the best.

Fledgling by Octavia E. Butler

If one of your favorite things about Twilight was Stephenie Meyer’s development of a whole vampire society and its inner workings, then you’ll love Octavia E. Butler’s Fledgling. This book puts a lot of the focus on the way vampires create communities, laws, and feuds with one another. At the center of the story is an amnesiac girl—who’s actually a 53-year-old genetically modified vampire on the hunt to discover who took away her memories and stole her life. But if she’s not aware of who she is and where she came from, how can she protect herself from those who are still out to destroy her?

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

No, it’s not about vampires—but it is another really great Stephenie Meyer novel. So, if you love Twilight, give it a listen! The Host imagines a version of Earth invaded by a species that takes over the minds of humans while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, an invader, has been given the body of a human, Melanie. But Melanie’s thoughts still remain with Wanderer, especially the memories of Jared, the man Melanie loves. Unable to separate herself from her body’s strange human desires, Wanderer finds herself yearning for a man she’s never met—a human who lives in hiding. This is a love triangle between three minds and two bodies—so if you thought you’ve already heard every type of love triangle possible, think again. Narrator Kate Reading does a wonderful job of voicing competing minds living in one body.

Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mystery series by Charlaine Harris

If you’re familiar with the HBO television series True Blood, then you’re already familiar with its inspiration: the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mystery series. Even if you were an avid fan of the show, you’ll find plenty of surprises in Charlaine Harris’s novels. And if you don’t know anything about True Blood or Sookie Stackhouse, get ready for a whole lot of fun.

Sookie Stackhouse is a telepathic barmaid who’s down to earth, funny, and tough as nails. And it’s a good thing she’s tough, because her hometown of Bon Temps, Louisiana, is teeming with werewolves, shape-shifters, and, of course, vampires. In each book, Sookie gets caught up in different mysteries, supernatural stories, and deliciously sexy entanglements. But Sookie’s romance with her vampire boyfriend Bill is the heart of this series. So, if you love The Twilight Saga for its fun supernatural stories and its focus on romance, this series will be perfect for you. All 13 books are available in audio for your listening pleasure, and actress Johanna Parker narrates nearly every installment, bringing all the characters, especially the unforgettable Sookie Stackhouse, to life with her slight Southern drawl.
