Beautiful

Julia Farmer narrated this so beautifully. I loved that she captured each person with such ease. the story Alone is a great read😐 and recommend everyone listen to it even if you have already read the story!

Good read. Makes you want to read the entire serie

Would you listen to Alone again? Why?

Yes. The story was compelling.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Alone?

When Serenity decides to no longer be a victim.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I thought the narrator could have been more emphatic during the exciting scenes. I felt her voice was too monotonous for the parts she was reading.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. Again, I felt the narrator did not completely capture the life of the story.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed the story itself, but would have preferred a different narrator.

Would highly recommend this story !

A fresh take on paranormal romance

What did you like best about Alone? What did you like least?

The plot was good and often unexpected. Unfortunately, I failed to connect with the main character despite initially feeling sorry for Serenity and her plight. A great shame, really.

Would you recommend Alone to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend this to serious fans of paranormal romance (not the Twilight-light types).

What aspect of Julia Farmer’s performance might you have changed?

Julia Farmer did a great job of acting out Serenity's parts. Unfortunately, I felt the narration was a little over-acted and Sebastian's parts were varied in tone and accent, which I found confusing.

Was Alone worth the listening time?

Yes, on balance.

Any additional comments?

I received a free copy of the audiobook from the author in exchange for my honest review.
