I received this book in exchange for an unbiased review of it.
This my first time reading works by this author and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It was engaging to read about Elaine and her drive to find her missing friend. Her best friend has moved away and now she's missing. The woman her best friend was living with is under arrest for suspicion concerning the girl's disappearance and now Elaine wants answers. So she goes in pursuit of looking with her boyfriend and a friend of his. What they don't know is that there are things that unknown concerning the disappearance and people who have secrets that they wish to have kept as quiet as possible so that they don't lose out on what they have built over the years.
Things don't go the way that Elaine and her friends imagine and she ends up...Alone. Now it's a fight for survival in a place she doesn't know and doesn't understand but she has to be doubly careful because there are people after her.
This book grabs your attention and holds it as you delve deeper and deeper to learn what is going to happen to Elaine. Will she find her friends? Will she find help? Or will this be the end for her in this place that is so new and different to her? A lot is a stake and there are twists and turns that will surprise you as you go along. I definitely recommend this book to people who are Holly Hook fans and people who are looking for a new author or series to check out and get into.

Alone is the first book in the new 'Flamestone' trilogy by Holly Hook.
We follow Elaine and friends Shaun and Travis as they go searching for her best friend Talia who disappears suddenly from her new foster home.
Their search soon takes them through a gateway to another planet and quickly discover it dangers and they must learn to survive.
Alone is a fairly fast paced action adventure with suspense elements as we wait and see what happens to Elaine and her friends on this planet.
Hook has once again created an intriguing world with fantastical creatures and vivid environments that will most likely only get better as we move through the series.
The final chapters were thrilling with plot twists that have me anxiously waiting for the second instalment.
I got a bit of a 'Hunger Games' Vibe whilst reading this story so fans of that may also enjoy this.
I was gifted a copy by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I was given this book for an honest review. I thought it was going to be your average damsel in distress, hero saves her. I was glad to be wrong. I enjoyed this book very much and hope to read the next one as soon as I can. It's a story of survival from the creatures hiding in your room waiting for night to fall so they can terrify you.

This is my first experience reading a Holly Hook book and, honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the description and it being a young adult novel. I was pleasently surprised by this fast-paced, easy read. By the end of the book I was totally invested in the main character and loving every new detail of the world Hook has created. I've already got book two in my queue.
