From television writer Stephanie K. Smith (Carnival Row; Genius: Picasso) comes Wrecked, a mystical story about historical treasure, generational trauma, and the power of transcendence.

When aging fisherman Louis Mann hears a voice summoning him to an off-limits stretch of Long Island Sound, he knows he might be going crazy but feels compelled to heed the call. A big enough haul of summer flounder could be the windfall Lou needs to change his life–what little time he has left. But then his nets get stuck on something lodged in the ocean floor, uncovering a mystery that quickly ensnares three equally damaged strangers.

Phil, a disgraced Navy diver with a lifetime of resentments; Samantha, a wealthy antiques dealer on the brink of divorce; and Nick, a teenaged artist raised by neo-Nazis are all at rock bottom, just like Lou. And each is convinced that the old man’s discovery–a centuries-old ship–will be their salvation.

Lou, Samantha, Phil and Nick will all have to face the forces that formed them before they can reap any reward pulled from the depths of the Sound. For as magical as La Difesa may be, the wreck alone cannot save anyone. It can only push them to save themselves...if they’re willing.

OK, so one must suspend disbelief, and just go with it. I love books like this, I like happy without having to go through a lot of tragedy. It’s not Shakespeare, but it certainly didn’t need to be. Highly highly recommend it

I like the mix of characters and the mix of real life with a bit of magic. The performance was top notch. The writing was a bit clunky at time. Good ending. Made me smile. Worth the listen.

Great Story

As I started the book I wasn’t sure I’d made a good choice, but then I was hooked. For all it’s twists and turns, it’s a genuine, if fanciful, feel good story. If you need a little relief from the worries of the day, I highly recommend this book❣️

An Unexpected Treat!

It was a great novel with gray narration. It was the new and different idea that made it great.

Sorry Amazon, half the books I run across here get returned within a few minutes. But with this Audible original, "Wrecked," you have totally redeemed yourself a hundred times over! Seriously, the character development, the setting, the emotions, and most of all, the supernatural element, makes for my most satisfying read of 2022. After hundreds of listens, this is my second review, which says a lot regarding my endorsement. Hoping to see more great work from this lady, Stephanie K Smith, as she is officially my favorite new author.
And it would be a crime to not mention the top-notch narration of Soneela Nankani. Character voices easily discerned from others, with just the right amount of energy put into charged, emotional scenes. Highly skilled delivery, to say the least.

Wow. This one is good.

I loved the story but the profanity was terrible. Some literature has language and is not to bad but it was real bad in this book

It was hard to follow the development of so many disconnected characters for so long, but the last two sections were pleasant.

Slow to start

Great character development. Lots of twists and turns, some predictable, a lot not so much. Great job by author and narrator.

A twisting ride!

It’s pretty new so I don’t want to give away anything. I’ll just talk about the structure. The story starts off rough, like an ode to toxic masculinity while setting up the characters. It’s engaging, moves along well and has a great ending. It’s a relatively quick story.
I believe it was originally written as a screenplay and I can see it. There’s not a huge amount of detail compared to some fiction writers but definitely enough to engage the audience and keep the story moving. Imo it doesn’t lack. I had a clear picture in my head of the surroundings and characters. If it came out on screen, would definitely watch it 🧜‍♀️ ⚓️
