Or at least wants to be left alone. As a young girl who lost her whole family to a house fire, Blue\u2019s got a difficult road to traverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it\u2019s hard to act normal when you can get inside other people\u2019s minds and hear their thoughts. So Blue shuffles from one foster home to another until she joins the O\u2019Days\u2026 and finds a friend and ally in her neighbour Will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On one of her nightly walks, Blue hears something that presents a tantalizing opportunity to avenge her family. Blue doesn\u2019t just want to do it\u2014she has to. Even if it means risking her own life and also that of Will\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raw, gripping, and full of heart, NOT ALONE is a heartfelt journey of a teenager struggling to find her bearing. It is also the story of resilience and fighting for survival, even when the odds are stacked against you; and about how the bond that makes a family is not always one of blood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Not Alone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">(Vox Oculis #1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Frederic Martin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Not-Alone-Vox-Oculis-Book-ebook\/dp\/B0848WTG7P\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NthSense Books<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date February 2, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN 9781734024005<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $26.99 (USD) Hardcover, $3.18 kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourteen-year-old Blue wants to have a go at normal life.
