A Left Drowning Novel, Book 2

By: Jessica Park

Narrated by: Arielle DeLisle

From New York Times best-selling author Jessica Park comes the long-anticipated sequel to Left Drowning.

A storm is coming, and with storms come restless waters.

Pulled from the depths of catastrophe and depression, Blythe McGuire has learned to escape from her past while embracing the future. A future now entwined in the Shepherd siblings.

With Chris, she shares a staggering romance that kicks heartbreak's ass.

With Sabin, she shares an intense friendship, one that's becoming more complicated than either had expected. A friendship now being put to the test because Sabin's brutal past still haunts him. Because trauma is the gift that keeps on giving without mercy.

Now Sabin is the one left drowning and struggling to breathe, and his turmoil threatens to send all three into dark currents they cannot escape. Even after going through her own hell, saving Sabin may take much more than Blythe had ever anticipated. Their connection and their love could help, but getting him to reach for her hand may be Blythe's biggest challenge ever.

Because you need more Blyth & Sabin..

Any additional comments?

Jessica Park did it again! I absolutely loved Left Drowning. I fell in love with Blyth & the Shepards right from the beginning, so naturally when I found out there was a book two I had to read it. I loved that this story focused more on Blyth & Sabin's relationship because Sabin was one of my favorite characters from the first book. Jessica Park surely didn't disappoint in this story either. I highly recommend it.

Also worth noting is that I listened to this on audio & it was beautifully, amazing. There is music in it as well & it's perfect. So if you don't listen to audiobooks & are only going to listen to one this should be this one!

It was a great book

10 out of 10 recommend I hope there’s more to come. You can’t help but fall in love with all the shepherd siblings

Wow!!

Very powerful and a perfect follow up. Definitely not a stand alone. Love Sabin and was blown away by the music. Unusual but so special.

Emotionally charged!

Jessica Park has a way of grabbing your heart and taking it hostage. This second book in the Left Drowning series will let feel it all. Chris and Blythe fly out to spend the holidays with Sabin. Sabin and Chris are brothers, and have bond that no one can break. But there is a fragility to it. It's just a matter of what will cause it to crack. Blythe is the love of Chris's life and Sabin's best friend. When feelings are mixed, will it all come out as it should? When I listened to this story, I was not prepared for the amount of emotions it has. Park has a writing style that is not angsty, but realistic. The emotions are so real, it's impossible not feel every one. Sabin is a sensitive soul and his character resonated with me. Blythe has come from a dark place, and her friendship with Sabin and love for Chris has helped her. And I love Chris and how his experience has given him a calmness and level head, yet a tender and loving heart. These three are complex characters, and give a true to life depiction of love for each other. Plus we get to spend some time with horses!! To top of this audio, we have Troy, who as Sabin, sings the most beautiful, emotional ballads. It's a must listen.

Narrated by Arielle DeLisle, the story is truly heartfelt. It's my first listen by her and she can give you all the feels. I think she is a perfect fit for these characters and really brought the story to life.

Loved this!!

I absolutely loved reading this book but hearing it was even better. Jessica Park writes with such emotion and depth to her words so you can’t help but be affected by them, especially hearing them out loud.

So good!

Would you consider the audio edition of Restless Waters to be better than the print version?

I only listen to the audiobook and it was fantastic.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the closer it brought. I Loved the music from Troy! I searched for more of his music after the book ended

Have you listened to any of Arielle DeLisle’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, the Left Drowning. I thought she did a great job.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.

Amazing beyond words

Loved Left Drowning and loved this too..the songs are just heavenly and Troy's voice is amazing. Can't get enough of Jessica Park's books!

Relatable and an easy read

I loved this book! I felt like I was feeling each and every emotion with the characters

Any additional comments?

This book was an amazing addition to this series. Jessica Park has outdone herself again, even though it’s shorter than the first it’s still just a great. There’s emotion, turmoil and pain, love, friendship, and family. I highly recommend reading left drowning prior to reading Restless Water’s because you’ll not fully grasp this story without it.

All of the characters that you loved from Left drowning are back but the story for the most part circles around Chris and Blair, and Blair and Sabin. I loved this story for so many reasons, but one thing that stuck out so much to me was that Blair and Sabin reach a point where they are conflicted and Chris is there to help guide them. Without giving too much away, this too me showed how amazing Chris is, but also how their strong bond as “family” is.

I truly love Sabin, and I wish there was more for him. Maybe someday he’ll get his book but this was enough for now. You know like maybe he’ll find someone to love….Both are officially on my re-read list, technically Left Drowning has been there for awhile now and I have re-read it twice actually. It’s that good folks.

Not only was the story amazing the audio performance was superb. Arielle DeLisle’s narrations is perfect, she has a way of making an already great story even that much more enjoyable, she gives it life.

Now the unique part about this book/audiobook is Troy. His music brings a new and unique dimension to the story. But not only is his music and lyrics a part of the story he’s actually part of the audiobook. When Sabin is singing you hear Troy, his voice in the audiobook is stunning and breathtaking. The entire combination is one of a kind, and definitely shouldn’t be missed.

I highly recommend the entire series in both e-book and audiobook.

Absolutely amazing

I don’t even know how I’m going to get out how I’m feeling about this book, about this series. Just wow! I really think this is one of the best series I’ve ever read! Sabin is my absolute favorite. His personality was the best. Tory? Did the audio singing parts just take this story and the emotion to another level. I just couldn’t stop the water works.
Reach for me, I won’t let you drown, I’m right here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
