Alone Kindle Edition

by Lee Allen (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 10 ratings
All things must end.

Recovering from a recent accident and faced with the prospect of spending another Christmas alone, Jessica accepts the invitation of an old flame to spend Christmas with him and his aged aunt at his manor house in the midst of the Brecon Beacons.

Feeling her arrival is unwelcome, Jessica awaits her reunion with a face from the past, while a snowstorm postpones his arrival and renders her trapped within the house. Behind the silence, something dark is lurking.

Left with little choice, Jessica finds she must face the secrets the old house hides. Yet what she may come to learn is that nothing haunts us more than the secrets of our own pasts, and that burying them does not make them forgotten.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025

    This creepy supernatural thriller gave me goose bumps. Jessica accepts an invitation to spend Christmas with her old flame, at his manor, that he shares with his crotchety old aunt. But once she arrives, Jack is nowhere to be found.

    This is where the creepiness starts. Jessica is still recuperating from a bicycle accident where she was hit by a car. Feeling sore and a bit spacey she begins to hear a small girl singing but no one is there. Knowing she should leave before she's sucked in and can't escape a blizzard makes it impossible to go anywhere. The phone goes dead but not before she receives a call from Jack saying he can't make it home due to the storm. And another call with the child as she eerily sings.

    Jessica starts questioning her own sanity wondering what's real and what's not. Jacks aunt is making her extremely uncomfortable as she basically floats from room to room. Weird stuff starts happen that is down right haunting.

    Kudos to the author for getting into Jessica's head. As a reader I could feel the tension and the unease as she struggles with what to believe to be true. Is Jack ever coming back? Who is singing and why is Jack's aunt so weird?

    I highly recommend this ghostly thriller for anyone who loves alternating timelines, creepy characters and a plot that keeps you guessing.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good psychological thriller!

    I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick and easy read. Jessica not wanting to spend another Christmas alone accepts an invitation to spend Christmas with her long-lost love. She does not get a very friendly welcome and questions if this was the right choice. This book had me confused at times, but it all makes since in the end. Can Jessica accept her past to be able to move on with her future? This was a twisty psychological thriller. Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Haunting Winter Tale That Will Keep You Turning Pages
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
    Format: Kindle
    Lee Allen’s Alone is a blend of suspense, psychological depth, and atmospheric storytelling. The novella transports readers to the snowy isolation of a manor house in the Brecon Beacons, where protagonist Jessica confronts the mysteries of her surroundings and the secrets of the past. From the first page, Allen draws you into a world shrouded in quiet tension.

    Recovering from a recent accident, Jessica reluctantly accepts an invitation from an old flame. But what begins as a chance to escape her loneliness quickly turns sour as a snowstorm traps her in a house that seems to breathe with its own secrets. The slow unraveling of the house’s dark history mirrors Jessica’s own emotional journey.

    As a novella, Alone stands out because of its perfect balance of psychological exploration and supernatural intrigue. While whispers of something dark lurk behind the silence of the old house, Allen uses the tension to move into deeper themes of memory, guilt, and the way our pasts shape our present. The house itself feels like a living entity and amplifies Jessica’s vulnerability and isolation.

    The novella's tight narrative and stunning prose (Allen’s prose is ALWAYS stunning) make Alone a succinct and haunting read—reminding us that sometimes the most terrifying ghosts are the ones we carry within ourselves. Perfect for fans of Gothic fiction and psychological thrillers and perfect for the holiday season, Alone is a thought-provoking story that will stay with you long after the snow has melted. Highly recommended!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Full of plot twists
    Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024

    I am grateful to have received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I had trouble getting into this story. It is short and quick, which is nice. It is easy to read and enjoy in one sitting; perfect for a snowy afternoon! This writing jumps back and forth between dates that are within a few weeks of each other, which felt a little more difficult for me to organize than other books written this way. I also was not the biggest fan of the way in which the author tied everything together. However, I do believe readers who love mysteries with numerous twists and turns, readers who get excited about the overlaps of who did what to whom and when, will absolutely love this read! It is fun, quick, and will keep you reading for the answers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars All Things Must End.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2020

    At first when I started reading Alone, by Lee Allen nothing was grasping my attention in the first few chapters, more so I think through confusion as the story kept going back in time. But as the story line thickened and you start to get a sense of who Jessica is and who Jack is and the future they once had the book becomes more interesting. You also feel intuned with the characters and how the past must have haunted them both for many years that neither of them both forgot about the pain they felt. I was really taken by shock at the ending of the story, without going into detail for other readers to yet to find out, I for one couldnt put the book down eventually and had to read to the end in one sitting because it drawed my attention. Definitely a 5* star book. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it and would re-read again. Would recommend also.

    Alone by Lee Allan.
    This was a really good read. I did like the cover. This was a quick read which was cleverly written. I was confused while reading this book although I couldn't put it down. I had to read until the end. I had goosebumps while reading this. I love the paranormal parts in this book. I was very surprised. I never would have guessed. This is definitely worth a read. Perfect for Christmas. I would definitely recommend this book.
