Under

by Perie Wolford

In the depths of the underwater waits the unknown. Bradley and Tag are eager to come home for a long-awaited summer break. It's been a long semester. Some unwinding is necessary. Also they both need to have some fun. What's more fun than staging a hoax UFO encounter video on Tag's yacht? Nothing, according to Tag. If Bradley had reservations about that silly idea, he forgets all about them, because Tag invited Danny and Veronica to star in their video. Tag always liked Veronica. And Bradley always liked Danny. It's a match! During the filming though, the group discovers a presence of something unexpected under the yacht, in the deep dark waters near their coastal home town.

LOVE CAN BRING PEOPLE BACK FROM FAR AWAY – ANOTHER GALAXY

I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review

A very well written story of a UFO that has been taking people for over fifty years and the disappearances being written off as drownings without the bodies being recovered. Bradley returns to town after spending a year away at college with his friend Cooper. They plan on making a UFO video for school, only to find out that aliens were in the sea near their hometown. I was happy to see that the aliens were peaceful and only lured the people who wanted to join them.

Not sure what was worst, book or narrator o.O

2.5 stars. I was kind of bored with this one unfortunately.

Aliens?

My second or third work by P.Wolford, this was a pleasant surprise as there was a cogent plot, believable characters and good pacing. The four MCs are fleshed out with supporting cast members getting enough to tie into the tale. The setting feels real, at least the beach town, and the inventive encounter plausible.

Under by Perie Wolford, narrated by Maxwell Palmer, is the first audiobook containing a budding gay m/m romance, a mystery, and the exploration of another world through science fiction. Surprisingly, I really liked it. Wolford has written a clever story that was well narrated by Maxwell Palmer.

Four young adult friends decided to stage and video record a fake UFO underwater encounter from the deck of the yacht owned by one of them. The four young people, Cooper, his friend Bradley, and brother and sister Danny and Veronica, had already selected (at least in their minds) their respective soul mates. Cooper liked Veronica, while Bradley and Danny had liked each other for years, although they had never seriously acted on that attraction.

What they found while trying to film - over the strenuous objection of Danny and Veronica’s father - was a series of mysteriously hypnotizing underwater lights and an alien city far beneath the ocean just off the coast of their home town.

What they learned was - true love conquers all obstacles.

Well, this was cute :P

Teens being teens while finding love, mysterious lights, 50 years worth of missing people and a heartwarming premise: love can bring your loved ones back (at least, when there are UFOs involved!)

I was quickly invested in Brad and Danny's story, probably because they were so shy and awkward. Ah, young love! *laughs*

This is a very nice, entertaining although somewhat short story, with lovely characters and a very good narration by Maxwell Palmer

Bradley and Cooper head home for a college break with a video project on their mind. With the help of two friends, Veronica and Danny, they head out to the bay to create the UFO story. What they find is much more than they were ever prepared for. During all the upheaval Cooper and Veronica, as well as Bradley and Danny form a seriously strong relationship despite the challenges they face. I was surprised and excited with this whole story and I will listen to this book again.

Lights from Below

This is a really fun science fiction read. I know the author cited other books as the inspiration, but it reminded me of a movie and its sequel several years ago.

Well written with lots of tension in the plot!

This book was a bit different from my usual read/listen. I was not disappointed. Good level of intrigue and mystery. Excellent narration.
