- Occult Crimes Unit by Angel Martinez: Lime Gelatin and Other Monsters Avg Rating: 7.8 | Rereads: 3; The Pill Bugs of Time Avg Rating: 7.3 | Rereads: 3
There are several of these that I have listened to more times than I’ve read the stories, namely:
- Stiletto by Daniel O’Malley narrated by Moira Quirk
- Who Killed Sherlock Holmes by Paul Cornell narrated by Damian Lynch
- Shadow Rites by Faith Hunter narrated by Khristine Hvam
- Soulwood series by Faith Hunter narrated by Khristine Hvam

The Checquy Files and Shadow Police especially are books I listen to when I need to be firmly distracted. In fact, I listened to both series while I was emptying out my parent’s house.
There are four books I’ve read three or more times that did NOT make my end-of-the year favorites.
- Love, Marriage, and a Baby Carriage C.S. Poe (short story)
- Open for Business by Angel Martinez (Brandywine Investigations)
- Occult Crimes Unit by Angel Martinez: Lime Gelatin and Other Monsters & The Pill Bugs of Time
Love, Marriage, and a Baby Carriage is a short story, and it fills me with glee every time I read it, because it is extremely silly.
The Angel Martinez books are also silly–especially the Occult Crimes Unit series, which, honestly, was reread multiple times mostly for books four and five–the ones about Alex Wolf, a wolf who was cursed and turned into a human.
