Publisher's Summary

Half a million dollars will be Celeste Thorne’s reward for spending four years of her life in total isolation. No faces. No voices. No way to leave.  

Since Celeste has never really worried about being alone, the generous paycheck she’ll receive for her participation in the solitary psychological experiment seems like easy money.  

When she finds an injured hiker in the woods bordering her living compound, her strictly governed world is thrown into disarray. But even as she struggles with the morality of breaking the rules of the experiment, Celeste can’t deny her growing attraction to the kind and enigmatic Olivia Soldano. Still, how much can you really trust a stranger? And how much can you trust yourself when you know all the faces you’ve seen and voices you’ve heard for the past three years have only been your imagination?  

But what’s real? Celeste’s reality may lie somewhere between the absolute truth and a carefully constructed deception.

Highly recommend!!

I am in love with the pairing of E.J Noyes and AC. This is one of their best works that I have listened to in my opinion. I was unsure how I would like the narration of a person on her own and not may / other characters however E.J. Noyes has continued to surpass my expectations with her incredible narratives and imagination!

Great book.

I thought Alone was a beautifully written, compassionate book and found my heart ached for the main character. Another book of EJ Noyes where I found myself transported into the character’s experience, something Im sure only possible with incredibly skilful writing.
It’s a really original and interesting story as well.
Abby Craden’s narration was amazing (as usual) and carried the story completely.
Well worth the read or audiobook.

Alone

This audiobook is so much more than I expected. The sample does not do this story justice. You will not be left disappointed. This story has jumped very close to the top of my favourite EJ Noyes stories. Abby Craden’s narration is second to none. Phenomenal performance.

Just brilliant

Have listened to this book more than once and it's always a pleasure. It's told from Celeste's point of view, I usually prefer books from both MCs viewpoints but E.J.Noyes is the exception...her books always deliver. Character development is great and plot is engaging. Some people may not like the amount of introspection from Celeste..but guys, two words, Abby Craden. Also, the introspection is sorta foundational. Craden's narration is just on point! Her voice brings these characters to life and spoils you for any other narrator!

Great story

Such a different storyline. At first I wasn’t enjoying the accent, but it grew on me. (Spoiler alert) I could foresee the “Controller A” plot twist a mile away. The performance was great in the sex scenes.
A great story all round.

Absorbing..Different.

E.J. Noyes is a fabulous writer; original and talented. So far I've read all of her books. The 'Ask, Tell' series is my favorite but all of her books are outstanding. It'good she's so prolific and how she manages to write to the extent she does, whilst holding down a full time 'other' job, is amazing. The worst part of reading any of her books is completing it.. The joy of a 'first read' is over. The narrator was also very good. I've just listened to this book again... and it's a strange thing.. You read or listen to one of Noyes's books and you think it's the best she's written.. Her writing is so good.. It's hard to choose 'the best'.. but this one is right up there...

Well written but made me sad.

Until the end I felt really sad by this story, although I kept listening to the end. As with the other books, this was well written.

Absolutely outstanding

I was a bit reluctant when I read the premise of this book, but it really is terrific; perhaps her best work so far. Do yourself a favour and give it a go.
