The creator is recommending audiobooks by author Lilian Hayes, specifically mentioning her mafia series and praising the narration and writing quality.
I am an audiobook slut. Okay? I listened to 280 last year. This year alone, I listened to 65 audiobooks. I have very high standards for audiobooks. And let me tell you, I found this author, Lillian Hayes, and I bought every single one of her fucking books in order because it was crack cocaine. Lillian, I don't know what you're doing in your writing, but it's so fucking good. I am not saying this slightly. I have very high standards for books. When I tell you every fucking one of her books is a four or five star banger and worth every fucking credit on Audible. There wasn't a single book that disappointed me. There wasn't a single book that I didn't fucking eat up. So good. I started with Shattered Secrets on Libby and that got me hooked. And then she has three different mafia series. She has a crime family, an Irish one, and then a Russian mafia book series that she's like currently writing. So the Messina crime family is finished, the Irish one's finished, and then the Russian ones are mostly ones that she's working on. What I love is the characters are in all the different mafia series, you meet the different characters of the different mafia, you know, like the Messina crime family, the Irish one, and then the Russian, it's like a very interconnected universe. Um, but I would start with the Messina crime family and then work your way. That one is dual narrated, not duet, but it still performs so, so fucking fire. Uh, Lillian, I don't know what you're doing, but you're putting crack in these books and I need the third Russian book ASAP. So if you need an author that you can just binge, it's Lillian. And like I said, I do not make that recommendation lightly. I said, every single one of her books is a four or five star banger and worth every fucking credit on Audible.
