It’s annoyingly hard to pin down. I searched Audible, Google, Libby, everything. No dice. Then I saw a comment buried in a Goodreads thread mentioning Kobo. Sure enough, it’s there under Kobo Plus. I’m not a huge fan of locking stuff to one platform, but if you want the audio, that’s the spot. The narrator’s voice took a minute to get used to, kinda gravelly, but it fits the noir vibe of the book perfectly by the second chapter.
Check Kobo. That's the only place I found it. The audio quality is fine, nothing spectacular. The story itself is so propulsive that you stop noticing the narrator after a while, which is probably a good thing.
I was on the hunt for 'Melody of Death' in audio for ages. The book's been on my TBR for a while, but I'm a podcast junkie and I just absorb things better when I'm listening. My library didn't have it, which was a bummer. After digging around, I found it's exclusive to the Kobo Plus subscription service right now—at least in the US and Canada. I ended up using a free trial to listen.
It's a solid production, the narrator does a good job with the tense atmosphere. It's not on Audible or Google Play, which is a bit of a pain. I hope it gets a wider release soon because more people should hear this one.

Abby Barns is about to turn eighteen and face the Capitol, where every heir must meet to try and find their fated mate. But Abby isn’t ready to bind herself to a mate she hasn’t even met, not when she’s never felt her wolf stir since she was twelve and not when her family’s secrets keep gnawing at her like a hidden ache. Her sister Melody, once lively and fierce, is presumed dead behind a veil of illness that strikes their clan with increasing ferocity. Abby’s father, Graham, clings to a truth he refuses to admit: Melody’s condition might be more than misfortune. It might be poison.
With two friends who are all sunshine and all spark, Abby steps into a city of glittering banners and looming danger, where a prince is guardian to the realm but aloof to the heart. Adrian, the silent, powerful protector with the deepest green eyes, seems to deny Abby’s presence even as her own pulse answers to his almost unspoken call. As old wounds surface, a rogue threat grows louder, and the mystery of Melody’s poisoning unravels a legacy that could redefine who Abby is and who she is fated to become.
As Abby discovers the truth about wolf’s bane coursing through her veins, she must decide whether trust is a risk worth taking or a trap designed to hold her forever. In a world where love is both weapon and salvation, Abby’s journey from uncertainty to a life altering bond will test family loyalties, awaken a dormant wolf, and force her to choose between a dangerous future and a love she never expected.

DEATH GETS A LOVE LIFE.
"I accept," I say all at once and then lower my eyes shyly. "If you think my human body can serve as a substitute for her and fill your hunger, I'm willing to take that chance."
The feeling that I recognize in his eyes is one of shock and even fear, as though he hadn't expected at all that I'd agree.
"Let's do it," I whisper across the gap between us.

Oh, this is such a mood! I was actually hunting for the audiobook of 'Death Whispered a Lullaby' a few months ago because the title alone gave me chills. After some deep digging, I found out it doesn’t have an official audiobook yet—which is a bummer because the prose feels like it’d be perfect for a voice actor with a haunting tone. I ended up reading the physical copy instead, and let me tell you, the atmospheric writing totally lives up to the name. It’s one of those books where you almost wish someone would whisper it to you in a dimly lit room. Maybe someday a publisher will pick it up for audio! Until then, I’d recommend pairing the book with a creepy ambient playlist for full effect.
Funny thing—I got so hooked on the vibe that I started seeking out similar horror-lit audiobooks to fill the void. 'The Whispering Dark' by Kelly Andrew came close, and it does have an audiobook version with this eerily soothing narrator. If you’re into poetic horror, that might tide you over while waiting for 'Death Whispered a Lullaby' to get the audio treatment. The genre’s honestly exploding right now, so fingers crossed!
I was looking for that exact thing last month and ran into the same issue. Turns out, it's a bit of a hunt because 'Die, My Love' isn't always under that exact title; the Spanish original is 'Que No Muere, El Amor' or something close. I found the most reliable place was Audible, but you have to search for the author, Ariana Harwicz. It popped right up for me there. I remember Scribd had it listed too, but the availability in their catalog seems to change depending on your region.
Honestly, I'd start with your local library app, like Libby or Hoopla. Mine didn't have it, but it's worth a shot before spending. The narration is pretty intense, so listening to a sample first is a good idea. I ended up buying it on Google Play Audiobooks because I had some credit.
I've seen this title pop up in a few indie horror circles lately. From what I've gathered, 'Melody of Death' isn't a traditionally published novel you'd find on major storefronts. It seems to be a web serial or an online novella. I think your best chance is to check some of the bigger fiction hosting sites—look around on sites like Royal Road or Wattpad. Sometimes these stories move around if the author pulls them to publish elsewhere. I couldn't find an audiobook version, but some web serials get fan-made audio readings on YouTube. It's a bit of a digital scavenger hunt.
A friend mentioned the plot involves a cursed music box, which is a cool premise. That might explain why it's not super easy to track down; it feels like one of those hidden gems that circulates in specific forums. If you're into that eerie, creeping dread type of horror, it's probably worth the search. Just be prepared to dig through some older forum threads for links.
