A very taunt suspense that has me on edge waiting for the snap! This story does not disappoint and so clever with the mind game and a thrill to try to pull the puzzle pieces together!

WOW!!!!!! Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have another best seller hit on their hands!!!!! I was intrigued from the first page but halfway through the "action" slowed down a little for me. Then on the next chapter picked right back up. Jessica Farris is a make up artist who on a job makes a decision to participate in a psychiatrist study in place of one of her clients. By doing this she meets mysterious Dr. Shields. After 2 or 3 sessions of answering questions on a survey Dr. Shields wants to up the study to more physical session and that is where it goes downhill for Jessica. Starting with thinking she is doing a morality study a psychiatrist to what turns into a deadly attempt to save her life. Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the chance to read this riveting page turning thriller for my honest review

Anonymous Girl was absolutely FANTASTIC! I really loved Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen’s first novel The Wife Between us, it was creative, twisty, and shocking so when I found out they were teaming up to write a second novel I knew I had to get my hands on it. This dynamic duo did NOT disappoint on their second book, Anonymous Girl...it was even better than their first, I didn’t think it was possible. They really outdid themselves, it was exceptional.

Big BIG thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for giving me the opportunity to read this phenomenal book in exchange for my honest review.

I will post my review on Amazon and Barnes and Nobel on the day of release.

This book was so good! It kept me guessing at every twist and turn. It was so creepy I loved it! Very well written and highly recommend!

The premise of An Anonymous Girl is interesting in itself - a girl, needing money, volunteers for one of those surveys/experiments that are constantly offered on college campuses. This one is on morality. As she answers the questions, she finds herself thinking about morality as well. However, also while she's answering the questions, the professor in charge of the survey is assessing her.
The two form a one-sided partnership which lends itself to a page-turning book that you can't put down. The motives of each character are believable, and each twist is perfectly timed. I like books that have smaller twists throughout, little nuggets of information dropped throughout until it all comes together at the end, and this fits that bill. The suspense level was high and this book was excellent.

Wow. This book did not disappoint! I absolutely loved The Wife Between Us, so I was very excited to read another by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. The beginning of this book had me hooked and I could not wait to see where it went. Jess is a relatable character who is just trying to get by in New York. She learns of a study that pays and manages to join it in an unconventional way. When she meets the "man behind the curtain" things take an interesting turn. That is the point where I did not see the rest of the story coming. I felt that there were subtle twists that really didn't seem like much until it was seen from another perspective and that enhanced the book for me. It almost had a Girl on the Train vibe, in the sense that the character thinks they know something important and the events that follow, but this story is so much better. I really loved everything about it!

Review will be updated shortly - had a difficult time with this story so the review in in process but will be updated by the end of this week

Wow, this book is a real page turner and had me guessing to the very end. Everything is not always as it seems. This book certainly had me second guessing participating in any studies...lol. Jessica needs money and she happens upon what she thinks is an easy way to make some quick cash. She poses as someone else in a study but little does she know that her choices will soon have dire consequences.

This book seems to be one of the most anticipated new releases of 2019. It’s written by the joint author team that penned The Wife Between Us – a New York Times bestselling thriller – last year. I haven’t read The Wife Between Us, but I’ve read many positive reviews, so when I picked up An Anonymous Girl I had high expectations.

The premise of this novel is interesting enough: a young woman named Jessica joins a psychology study to make a few extra bucks. As the study progresses she forms a complicated relationship with the psychiatrist and researcher running it, and becomes much more deeply involved than expected. Jessica is asked to do increasingly uncomfortable and bizarre things and begins to question the motives of the psychiatrist.

I had two main problems with An Anonymous Girl: the dialogue wasn’t believable and the story dragged. Anyone who’s read my reviews before will know how particular I am when it comes to dialogue. I hate when characters in books speak in a way that you’d never hear in real life. The dialogue in An Anonymous Girl – especially from the psychiatrist – read as very formal and forced, and very unlike how people really talk. Since the plot was pretty far-fetched to begin with, I felt the conversations made it even harder to believe and feel invested in.

An Anonymous Girl is also just a bit too long. It takes too much time to really get to the heart of the story, and even when tension starts to build and the truth starts to come out there isn’t really one particular climactic moment. I felt like I held on throughout the novel for no real pay-off.

While I personally didn’t like this book and wouldn’t recommend it, I have seen many positive and supportive reviews. It’s already been picked up for a television series, so clearly there is something likable in the novel. I think it just didn’t mesh well with my tastes. I think it will – and already does – appeal to people who are adamant fans of the thriller/untrustworthy narrator tropes, but I wouldn’t say it’s one of the better novels in that genre.

I’ve said it before, but I think the thriller genre has become over-saturated. For me, An Anonymous Girl was a perfect example of that. It tries too hard to be psychological and misleading and ultimately ends up being disappointing.

I have read Hendricks and Pekkanen’s first book, The Wife Between Us. Overall, I enjoyed the story and the suspense that they were able to create. However, there were moments that seemed repetitive and wordy which distracted me from the suspense. So, I was hesitant when I picked up their second novel, An Anonymous Girl.

The book introduces a make-up artist named Jessica Farris. While at an appointment she overhears a conversation about a research study that pays well just for answering a few questions. Sounds simple, right? She needs the money to help her mom, dad, and disabled sister. When she attends the study, not all is what it seems. The study wants to know her deepest, darkest secrets. The head of the study, Dr. Shields seems to take more of an interest in Jessica and hires her to complete more within the research project. However, something is off. Jessica feels manipulated and soon realizes how much danger she is in…

Due to the full schedule around the holidays, it took me a few days to complete this book. However, if I would have had the time, I would have finished this book in one sitting! Hendricks and Pekkanen nailed this story. My reservations before reading this book have vanished. The writing is flawless and engaging. I hated that I had to close the book and made excuses to sit and read longer. BUT THE CHARACTERS!! Wow, they created some immensely flawed and complicated characters. I found myself wanting to know more about them. I never knew who was telling the truth. This book kept me guessing until the final page. I have discovered that their first book is being made into a movie. Also, this book is already being made into a television series and it hasn’t even released yet! So pre-order this book. You will not regret it! I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read this book!

This is a hell of a ride. One that you can't resist and it will drive you crazy to this twisty, manipulative plot.

Jessica Farris signs up to a psychological study by Dr. Lydia Shield wherein she could earn money just by answering all question conducted in the study. But she never expected that every question points out not only some minor but major personal assessment and even questioning her own morality.

Let me point this out. This is only a story written for recreational purposes like us, readers but this question totally sank into me. It even made me question my own judgement towards this psychological study.

It was really addictive, well-driven and well written plot.

I really loved the style of writing wherein Dr. Shield's point of view was narrated by her, inside her head like she was talking to herself. It was creepy and likable at the same time because of this thoughts she had.

I can't say enough of the story but all I can say is that I hope after you read this story, all woman be like Dr. Lydia Shield. I hope.

An Anonymous Girl was a mystery, psychological story of understanding one's motives, wants, disposition and morality.

Jess is struggling with finances. She does make up for people and doesn't make much doing it. She is trying to help out her parents financially as well. She ceases the opportunity to step in and take a survey that is paying more than she makes in a week. Then she gets a return call making even more money. Jess knows it must be too good to be true. She is told by Dr. Shields that the original study has been put on hold and there is a new study involving her. She's the perfect candidate.

Jess is an attractive girl who can probably get any many she wants. Dr. Shields puts this to the test. Jess doesn't feel comfortable with everything but goes along with it. She needs the money. Things start to get creepy though and she realizes she actually knows Dr. Shields husband. They're both lying about their marriage but which one can she trust.

Personally, I don't see the hype about this book. I was bored to death til about half way through. I pushed through though and was anticipating a huge ending but it definitely fell short of any expectation I had. I really wanted to enjoy it. If it was some huge turn, I would've felt it was all worth it but there wasn't anything special.

Greer Hendricks never disappoints. This is a great fast read thriller. If you are looking for a book that grips your attention from the first page, this is it. The characters are well developed and the story line is easy to follow, even with many different characters. Definitely recommend...

Good book, keeping the pace up so I didn't get bored. Liked the story and will recommend to others that enjoy these types of books.

I may not have enjoyed The Wife between Us as much as most readers but I absolutely love An Anonymous Girl. I just knew that it would be a brilliant read right from the first chapter. I was hooked and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I was caught up in the web created by Dr. Shield’s. Who was this psychologist and what was the test exactly? Our MC, Jess, certainly didn’t have the answers when she began the journey and neither did I.

Have you ever watched a spider build a web? I haven’t but I have always been curious to know how they come up with such an intricate design. Circle by circle, layer by layer, around and around. This is exactly how this story turned out to be. The mystery built with each new chapter. Along the way, the authors dropped tiny bombs that had my jaw drop. I like how these twists were subtle and found them to be even more captivating.

This is a mystery novel that is best enjoyed with little or no prior knowledge about the plot. All you need to know is that the writing is impeccable, fascinating characters and a storyline that is utterly captivating. I enjoyed An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen and can’t recommend it enough.

I received an advance copy of An Anonymous Girl from St. Martin's Press in exchange for an honest review.

I was really looking forward to this book. I loved The Wife Between Us and how both Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen write. You never know where one leaves off and the next one starts.

I enjoyed the thriller but I was totally able to guess the plot twist. That being said I enjoyed the book and I flew through it. I didn't have the jaw dropping moment I had in The Wife Between Us but that is ok because this book was really good.

I liked how the POV switched between Jess and Dr. Shields. It was cool to see both women's motivation behind why they performed certain acts. I liked that the plot deviated from the normal drunk woman plot that has been going around these days.

This book was complex, twisty, and very creepy. Perfect psychological thriller to pick up and keep your attention.

This was a pretty great psychological thriller. A bit different than most in my opinion. I appreciated the protagonist and antagonist and their motivations. A girl sneaks into a study on Tmorality and gets much more than she bargained for. Super easy read that I enjoyed from the start. Thanks to #Netgalley for this ARC. #annonymousgirl

An Anonymous Girl was an excellent suspenseful novel! I enjoyed the true feeling of suspense throughout the story. Jessica gets herself into an anonymous study on ethics and morality. What starts out as a simple study with questions on a computer in a room evolves into a much more involved situation that Jessica finds herself in the middle of. The plot is perfectly crafted with every detail adding to the ongoing suspense and mystery. The story is full of secrets, lies, and jealousy. As the story goes on, the characters all are presented with their own deep secrets and parts to the story. Who is telling the truth? Who can be trusted? I could feel the tension building as Jessica gets deeper and deeper into a dangerous situation. I could imagine so many different things happening next!

Jessica Farris signs up for a study in ethics and morality. She goes into the study not knowing what to expect. Dr Shields is a proffesor at a local college and a psychiatrist. What she thinks is going to be an easy way to make money turns into something more sinister. Dr Shields tells her how to act and dress, she can't put her finger on it but something about the study is off. This was an awesome book. I am not sure if I would ever participate in a study after reading this book.

Oh wow! This was a completely different type of plot than their first novel. No sudden turns or breath catching reveals but rather An Anonymous Girl is all about the psychological slow burn. This book is a mind bending, brain twisting narrative that feels like one is about to jump off a high cliff and into shark infested waters. TENSE with a capital T!!!

The story focuses on morality and “what would you do if...” scenarios that evolve from hypothetical to true life. The protagonist Jessica learns about a morality study while working for a couple of NYU students. One of the students is supposed to be in the study but shares her plans to blow it off. It pays $500 and Jessica, a struggling make up artist, could desperately use the cash. She deceives her way into the study and becomes subject 52. The study takes a more ominous turn when the lead psychiatrist offers her a more involved role in an ethical study that involves real life situations. Bit by bit, Jessica learns the true nature of the study and the danger it brings with it.

The writing is superb and cleverly thought out. I was absorbed starting from page one and completely caught up in the story. It is a riveting mystery of sorts as the reader tries to figure out what is going on and how it will end. Recommend this book to folks looking for a thoughtful psych thriller with tones of self transformation.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for an ARC through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
