Best Cary Hite Audiobooks

The best audiobooks narrated by Cary Hite — 7 titles spanning Mystery, Thriller, Self-Help, Historical Fiction, Sci-Fi, Horror, Literature & Fiction, averaging 3.99 ABR stars.

Cary Hite brings a clear, engaging voice to a remarkably diverse catalog that includes YA mystery, speculative fiction, historical nonfiction, and self-help. His narration of Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson captures the sequel's escalating tension with sharp pacing and convincing teen voices, while The Future Is Yours by Dan Frey showcases his ability to handle formally inventive sci-fi that blends emails, texts, and traditional narrative. Hite has an adaptable, youthful-sounding voice that gives him particular credibility with contemporary fiction aimed at younger audiences, but he is no lightweight — his contributions to the Vikings anthology and A Century of Poetry in The New Yorker demonstrate real intellectual range. He handles My Grandmother's Hands with the sensitivity and gravitas that a book about racial trauma demands. Listeners who appreciate narrators with natural versatility, clean diction, and the emotional intelligence to match their delivery to wildly different material will find Hite consistently reliable.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
