Resumen del Editor

Two minds, one body, and a secret so terrible one woman may choose to die rather than know her own past.

Christine locked away her painful past and Jenn has been forced inside her mind to help unlock it. Their shared physical body, and the mysterious facility they wake up in, is under attack by brutal invading soldiers and the key to their survival is sealed away inside Christine’s self-inflicted memory block. There’s a race against time to see if Jenn’s compassion and visions of her own past will be enough to heal Christine’s mental trauma before the soldiers destroy them.

What Christine and Jenn discover along the way changes their lives, and the world, forever.

Never Alone is book one of an emotionally moving and thrilling modern-day sci-fi series featuring two powerful female leads.

Enjoyable start

I enjoyed listening to this book. I was interested throughout the story and wanted it to continue once it ended. Well done!

Perfectly paced, sucks-you-in story

The book starts off mid-plot, and the author uses an appreciable amount of skill in feeding the reader just enough information to keep the adrenaline flowing. The reader starts the story with nothing but questions, and the reveals of those answers is expertly done. A story so gripping that I didn't want my commute to end each day. The narrator was very good; there were moments where it was apparent that she was reading from a script, where her voice could use a little more natural inflection. But it was never so bad that it distracted from the story, And she did a great job conveying the emotions and personalities of the two main characters. I would highly recommend this story, and I can't wait to see if there's a sequel.

Decent Worth a listen

The Narrator is does a good job although a little bland, The book has some interesting theories but overall I had trouble getting invested in the character, that said overall it was entertaining

Hard to get into at first

slow and confusing initially, but after a few chapters it picks up and gets interesting, fun Sci-fi listen!

A different scifi/fantasy approach

The lines of fantasy and scifi are blurred in this harrowing tale of two women fighting for their lives in a futuristic world. the story flows well between two protagonists and the story's facets are novel and surprising. Recommended for anyone who enjoys a good cerebral scifi.

Good first half

A young woman wakes up in a lab with her memories gone and another woman inside her head. Who and where is she? And why is there another voice in her head giving her instructions?

I really liked the premises of this story. I have read other books in which the main character wakes up not remembering anything and it is a great plot device to keep the reader interested. The original detail here was the other woman in her head, Jenn, giving her information in small doses and asking her to do determined things. This is basically the content of the first part of the book, which kept me hooked, wondering who these two women were, especially the one who had lost her memories. There is an unexpected plot twist towards the half of the book, when we learn who she is. The first half of the story kept me guessing, and I expected a big reveal, but nothing like what it really was. I was so excited about who she could be that I had so many expectations that I found the truth a bit underwhelming.

The second part is more focused on Jenn, the woman inside her head, the one with powers, but who also needs help. I felt less invested in this subplot somehow, maybe because Jenn is so patronizing and perfect all the time that I couldn’t relate to her. We are shown her experiences indirectly, and I think that is what made me care less for her and her life.

The two parts the books is divided into are well defined, and could have very well have been two separate books.

There are bad guys in this book too, which made things more interesting. I think I would have liked a bit more of world-building regarding that, but this is also a possibility for a sequel. I felt there was something missing somehow, which is why I was not completely invested in the second half of the book.

Whitney Dorr’s narration was very good, delivering great character interpretations with subtle differences for each woman. I was able to tell who was talking at all times, which is not easy in a book like this, in which both women are keeping constant conversations.

Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook. I think the first part was very well written, but the science-fiction in the second part was just too magical for me.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Wonderfully performed book!

The story took a bit for me to get into, but I enjoy the way Whitney narrates a story, so I stuck with it!
