Death Rattle

By: Carter Pugh

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

Clarke Carpenter just wanted a fresh start—a quiet life as a nanny, a chance to finish school, maybe even figure out where she fits in the world. What she didn’t expect was to become the prime suspect in her roommate’s brutal murder.

When every clue points to her, Clarke goes on the run to save her own life… and runs straight into a hidden world woven beneath Charlotte’s city lights. A world of fae politics, shadow magic, ancient secrets—and a detective who is far more than he pretends to be.

As Clarke digs deeper, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: the truth behind the murder is darker, older, and far more dangerous than she ever imagined. And if she doesn’t uncover it in time, she won’t just lose her freedom—she’ll lose everything.

Perfect for fans of urban fantasy, romantasy slow-burns, tangled mysteries, and morally gray fae who ruin your life in the best way.
