Espresso Yourself

Maya's Blogs, Book 1

By: Lara McKenzie

Narrated by: Julia Anthony

One human barista. One supernatural fortress.

When Maya Rivers takes a job at Pulse, a coffee shop in the heart of the Umbrafore Complex, she expects busy shifts and maybe the occasional grumpy vampire.

What she doesn't expect is accidentally stumbling into supernatural fame or being targeted by a serial killer with a flair for theatrics.

It's hard to keep a low profile when you work alongside supernatural warriors who protect humanity from magical threats.

Join Maya as she blogs her way through the ups and downs as a human in a supernatural world.

Fast paced and adorable

I loved the book and when I found out it was on audio I practically threw my money at audible and ran off the listen to it! I was not disappointed. I laughed, i cried, I bought the merch. It’s so much fun listening to a little human who could be any of us take the supernatural world by storm. Often by making mistakes, but she is herself and does her best. I came for the snarky but heart of gold barista but I stayed for the side characters! Anxiously awaiting the next book to be recorded.

Funny and fast paced

I'll definitely listen to more from this author. Looking forward to the next installment! If you enjoy fun, fantasy, and a bit of a thrill, take a listen!
