Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17,990
Beck is everything Joe has ever wanted: she's gorgeous, tough, razor-smart, and sexy beyond his wildest dreams. Joe needs to have her, and he'll stop at nothing to do so. As he begins to insinuate himself into her life - her friendships, her email, her phone - she can’t resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom-made for her. So when her boyfriend, Benji, mysteriously disappears, Beck and Joe fall into a tumultuous affair. But there's more to Beck than her oh-so-perfect façade.

Story5 out of 5 stars 76
A story about a boy who dreamed of rock and roll. A story about a girl who dreamed about a boy. An epic, all-consuming love story about betrayal, loss and learning, that spans over 20 years. This is the story of us: "I was just 11 years old, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was staring into the eyes of the boy I was going to love forever." An edgy coming-of-age love story that breaks all the rules and transcends the decades.

His missionary ancestors who came to the islands were financially and culturally progressive - one even married a Hawaiian princess, making Matt a royal descendant and one of the state’s largest landowners.

I should be studying harbor seals' native habits, not conducting my own research into mating rituals of the Navy variety. He's a jackass. An arrogant, womanizing, patronizing, Harley-riding jerk.

Priddy's a lost soul in a part of Cornwall the tourists don't get to see. He's young, sweet-natured, and gorgeous, but that's not enough to achieve escape velocity from his deadbeat village and rotten family life. He's a drifter and a dreamer, and self-preservation isn't his strong suit. An accidental overdose of a nightclub drug leaves him fractured, hallucinating, with too many vital circuits fried to function in a tough world. When a friend offers him winter work in a lighthouse, he gratefully accepts.

Publisher's Summary
For Josh, falling in love does not fit in with his rock and roll lifestyle. And falling for someone who believes in mermaids? Who wants to be one? Well, he wasn't expecting that, either. But the sea is deep with mysteries. Sometimes they wash ashore, whispered in the hush of a quiet tide, and all you have to do is listen. Other times you have to explore the dark beneath the surface yourself, unsure of what you might find....
Bonus story: the British fantasy award-winning story, "Shark! Shark!"

My favorite audiobook ever
This is my favorite audiobook. I strongly prefer reading to listening to books. Water for Drowning is the only audiobook I’ve ever listenend to where I feel the narrator’s voice as created by the author perfectly matches the voice artist’s performance in a way that makes the product a perfect listen. The story is also great, as is the bonus short, “Shark, Shark.”

Well woven story expertly performed
I really enjoyed the story - it’s a verging on fantasy modern horror story that is unsettling and treads it’s chosen line very cleverly.
What really made it sing was the narrators pitch perfect performance - he did a great job of painting a portrait of the narrator and guiding our changing opinion of tJosh.
Definitely recommended.

Fantastic Story, Excellent Narration
'Water for Drowning' was an excellent listen that I found enjoyable and unsettling in equal measure. Helping to draw me into the story and sympathise with both the protagonist and antagonist was the narrator who did an excellent job here. He helped bring the story alive and made it strangely realistic. There are twists and turns throughout that had me second guessing what was coming next, and what did come next was horrifying. It's a short story that left me wanting more, although it did come with a bonus story at the end. more of the same please!

I adored these stories. Fun, intriguing and entertaining. Expertly narrated by RJ Bayley who really brings the story and characters to life with a mixture of accents and characters. Genuinely finished Water For Drowning and found myself thinking of its ending and characters for a while.
