Surviving Raine

Surviving Raine Series, Book 1

De: Shay Savage

Narrado por: Sean Crisden

As the captain of a schooner catering to the elite on the Caribbean Seas, Sebastian Stark does his best to avoid any human encounters. Interacting with people isn't his thing, and he prefers the company of a bottle of vodka, a shot glass, and maybe a whore. There's no doubt he's hiding from a checkered past, but he does well keeping everything to himself...until the night his schooner capsizes, and he's stuck on a life raft with one of the passengers.  

Raine's young, she's cute, and Bastian would probably be into her if he wasn't suffering from alcohol withdrawal. As the days pass, DTs, starvation, and dehydration become the norm. Even the most closed person starts to open up when he thinks he's going to die, but when she realizes their traumatic pasts are connected, it's no longer the elements that have Bastian concerned.  

He has no idea how he's going to survive Raine.  

Contains mature themes.

Love this story!

I've loved this story for a while now but I have just one word for this performance... OUTSTANDING! Sean Crisden has just joined my list of favorite narrators.

More than 5 stars.

This author can write. I’m only giving five stars out this year to stories I’ll never forget and this is one I won’t forget.

Depressing

I really enjoyed the narrator when he performed the male character but the female character voice was cringeworthy. The story was a bit depressing for me as the MC struggled with his past demons and the female came across as just whiny and irritating. It may have just been the narrator but I found it off putting. Not sure if I want to continue onto the next book.

Transcendence was a lot better

I loved Transendence so I gave this a try. Overall it's alright, but the female voice the narrator does can be a little much. The male voice acting is pretty good though.

What a story!!!

I absolutely loved this book. At first, I hated Daniel/Sebastian! I almost DNF because of how awful he was in the beginning. But I’m so glad I kept going. It was an emotional roller coaster that I never wanted to get off learning about their history and how it intersected. I’m moving on to the next book now.
