About this listen
In this darkly imaginative debut novel full of myth, magic, romance, and mystery, a Princeton freshman is drawn into a love triangle with two enigmatic brothers and discovers terrifying secrets about her family and herself - a bewitching blend of Twilight, The Secret History, Jane Eyre, and A Discovery of Witches.
For every world, there is an underworld.
Arriving at Princeton for her freshman year, Thea Slavin finds herself alone, a stranger in a strange land. Away from her family and her Eastern European homeland for the first time, she struggles to adapt to unfamiliar American ways and the challenges of college life - including a young man whose brooding good looks and murky past intrigue her. Drawn to the elusive Rhys and his equally handsome and mysterious brother Jake, she ventures into a sensual mythic underworld as irresistible as it is dangerous.
In this shadow world that seems to evoke Greek mythology and the Bulgarian legends of the samodivi, or "wildalones" - forest witches who beguile and entrap men - Thea will discover a family secret bound to transform her forever... if she can accept that dead doesn't always mean gone, and love doesn't always distinguish between the two.
Mesmerizing and addictive, Wildalone is a thrilling blend of the modern and the fantastical. Krassi Zourkova creates an atmospheric world filled with rich characters as compelling as those of Diana Gabaldon, Deborah Harkness, and Stephenie Meyer.

Subtly paranormal romance
What made the experience of listening to Wildalone the most enjoyable?
The narration was a perfect fit for me.
What did you like best about this story?
Although I began to wonder if this was purely a romance, it did have an aura of the mythical running throughout. The story develops around a 'mistake' , seems rather unlikely to me. However I really enjoyed the musical references and, for me, the different take on fantasy.
Which character – as performed by Barrie Kreinik – was your favourite?
No favourites, Barrie definately added hugely to my ratings for this book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Nothing had a great emotional pull.
Any additional comments?
I read a lot of fantasy books, this one was different from most of the contemporary in a good way. Overall I enjoyed it and was glad I'd bought it. A satisfying purchase that I virtually listened to none stop till it ended! (BTW I too was a bit disappointed by the ending)
