The Otherworld

By: Abbie Emmons

Narrated by: Alex Picard, Edward Black, Eric Smies

Growing up in a lighthouse on a remote island, Orca Monroe has lived isolated from the world . . . until one day when she finds a cell phone washed up on the beach. Orca has her first conversation with Jack Stevenson, a young man whose older brother, Adam, has gone missing after crashing his seaplane off the coast. Orca becomes Jack's lifeline and his reason to hope that Adam is still alive.

One stormy night, Orca finds Adam Stevenson collapsed on her doorstep. As she nurses him back to health, she finds herself spellbound by his inquiring mind and rugged good looks. Simultaneously, Adam is captivated by her wild beauty and pure heart. But with a ten-year age gap between them—and her father's determination to keep Orca protected from outsiders—Adam knows they can never be together.

Resigned to give Orca up, Adam returns to the mainland-but Jack refuses to leave her trapped at the lighthouse. Blind to the fact that his brother is in love with her, Jack offers to show Orca the world she's always dreamed of. But when she leaves her island for the first time, Orca begins to realize that the mainland may hold more dark secrets than she ever imagined . . . and the two brothers she helped bring back together may be the very people she tears apart.

Wholesome romance

This book is so well done and so well thought out. It brings you back to your teenage years where you inhaled books in a day.

I love this author

Abbie Emmons does it again in another epic romance. she always has the character you love and the one that gets under your skin. I'm totally team Adam, Jack is annoying. I like how it seems like a Little Mermaid retelling, I'm not sure if she planned that. I 100% recommend.

It was a butterfly effect

I was curious about this book right after following a tutorial by the author. Now that I've finished listening, I can say that it was a captivating story, very refreshing and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to reading other stories from her.

Beautiful Storytelling

Love the way the author weaves words into a picture. She is a master of her craft. A beautiful well written love story.

An unworldly perfection

I love every word of this book. Tension, pure happiness, aching sadness, anticipation, fresh air.... EVERYTHING feels.
Abbie Emmons has the gift of making the reader forget they're reading and totally immerse themselves in the story during which all of it feels so damn real.
When you dive into this book you come out at the end a different person.
