A series of terrifying encounters unleash an inherited psychic sensitivity within Holly and she begins to wonder whether the path she’s on is the one she’s destined to take. The thought of hurting the people she loves the most causes her to bury her emotions, until fate takes a hand. Suddenly her perfect life begins to unravel…
“It’s a gift to be shown something that allows you to make a difference and alter the outcome of someone else’s life. However, the weight of the responsibility that goes along with that is huge and what about the ethics? The thing I have to ask myself is how did my actions change the future?” Holly Elizabeth Atherton
“I absolutely adored Linn B Halton’s new book. The characters were well developed and it was interesting to see Holly evolve throughout the book. Some of the situations Holly finds herself in are pretty spine-tingling and on occasion I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck prickle! This is a well-thought out and extremely clever plot with a twist that the reader will not expect! A perfect read for those dark winter nights! For those interested in the paranormal this is the book for you. Whilst the subject matter focuses on psychic abilities, it is a story of mysteries and twists and turns that leaves the reader fearful for Holly and desperate to find out where her life is going! It’s a book that’s hard to put down. Written from Holly’s viewpoint, it offers an interesting take on the ethical difficulties faced by those with a `gift.’ It is a book that won’t disappoint!” Jontybabe, Amazon
“Never Alone is Ms. Halton’s best novel yet! The reader is immediately hooked and it doesn’t let go until the very end, which I did NOT see coming! Holly Atherton is living the life any young 23 year old could only dream to have, a successful career, a good looking boyfriend and a family who dotes on her. When she begins to have dreams and premonitions she finally talks to her dad who admits to her that he too has these same “powers”. The reader gets to walk with Holly and Will as she begins to see things she can’t explain and he tries to find a logical explanation for it all. Holly begins to understand her gift better and slowly begins to see the path she is really supposed to be walking down, she’s just not sure if Will is the one to be walking it with her. You will fall in love with Holly and her family as you get a very intimate look into their lives. You will be sure you know exactly how this will end, only to have such a twist thrown in at the end your mouth will be hanging open, I know mine was! Well done Ms. Halton, you are a star!“ K Mettner, Amazon
“Until I read “Never Alone” I had never considered that what we call paranormal might in fact be more normal than our conditioned tendency to ignore what we call intuition. At first Holly and her partner Will have a beautiful and successful life. Holly’s encounter with a mysterious supernatural entity poses a problem in their lives far beyond the trauma of the incident itself. She is forced to examine her values and her own true character. She finds a new companionship with with a completely different group of people who appreciate her mysterious talent for spiritual consciousness. She begins to see the flaws in her life of materialistic ambition. Understandably, her new behaviour perplexes those around her and conflicts multiply as the action proceeds. Finally, of course she makes choices whilst the narrative explores her reconciliation with the idea of contact with “the other side” as a natural part of her life. Just at the point where you can see the story playing out to a predictable outcome based on what you thought you understood – it doesn’t!
This is a good well paced read. The characters are believable and very much of our current times. The author has a light touch which makes the book very easy to read. I enjoyed “Never Alone” and for me it merits a five star rating.” Thinknicethoughts, Amazon
“When I had finished reading this book, I was left with that WOW Feeling! It is just one of those great books that you just do not see the end that is coming. Although the book does have paranormal content, which I have to say is thoroughly researched and presented and written in a realistic and believable way. You do not have to be into the paranormal to find the story an enjoyable read. If you are looking for a good storyline and this is a brilliant one, then you too would enjoy this book. I really liked the character of Holly, how she is presented as a normal, everyday person and not stereotyped in a way writers often do when a character as psychic abilities. Another great read from Linn B Halton.” Nikki Bywater, Amazon
