You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks is a dark and intense thriller that will leave you at the edge of your seat. The writing is absolutely thrilling and the characters are interesting. It is one that I would highly recommend to fans of Big Little Lies.

The concept of You Are Not Alone is interesting and terrifying at the same time. It is a dark thriller that is believable and scary because the circumstances can happen to anyone. It is quite easy to see yourself in Shay’s shoes.

❀ NEUROTIC MAIN CHARACTER

Although, Shay is a relatable main character, she is a bit neurotic. She is obsessed with facts and statistics and researches everything around her. If that’s not enough, she also records all of this data in a journal. That being said, Shay is still likeable and it is easy to empathize with her situation.

❀ LOTS OF SIDE CHARACTERS

The book is told from multiple perspectives with a focus on Shay and the Moore sisters (Cassandra and Jane.) It is fascinating to watch the story unfold through these different points of view, however the one thing that I must say is there are lots of side characters. At times it is hard to keep track of them, but this didn’t affect my overall enjoyment of the story.

If you enjoy a thriller that is on the darker side, You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks is one to watch for. The premise is one that is believable and scary. It is a fast-paced book that will leave you surprised at the end.

Somehow, I have not yet picked up a book by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, despite hearing amazing things about their previous novels. So I decided to start with You Are Not Alone, and I am not disappointed! This is a thrill ride from start to finish, and I cannot wait to pick up their other books soon. In You Are Not Alone, Shay Miller witnesses a terrible tragedy at a time in her life when nothing seems to be going right. Following the tragedy, she becomes enmeshed in the lives of two sisters - Jane and Cassandra. As she becomes more involved with the sisters and the women in their lives, Shay's life begins to change dramatically. Fast-paced, intriguing, full of twists and turns and vengeance, I cannot recommend this one enough.

I swear this duo just get better and better with each book they write!

Shay Miller is in a rut. She has a dead-end job, no luck in love and an all-consuming feeling that she just
doesn’t belong. When she unexpectedly witnesses the suicide of a young woman on the subway she becomes compelled to know as much about this woman’s life as she can which ultimately leads her to the beautiful and sophisticated Moore sisters who prove to be both her salvation and her living
nightmare.

From the very beginning I was captivated by this book. Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen pulled out all the stops with a mesmerizing, twisted and invigorating thriller that you could not tear from my hands.

If page-turning suspense is what you’re looking for, You Are Not Alone is one book you do not want to
miss!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing a copy of this book to read and give my own,

Hendricks and Pekkanen excel at creating a creepy vibe from ordinary life. When a woman witnesses a suicide she feels drawn into that woman's life. She finds a set of tony friends that appeal to her, but she gets more than she bargains for when she tries to figure out what made the woman jump in the first place. Fast-paced and twisty.

You are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkan

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press for my advanced copy. All opinions are my own. I’ve been a long time fan of this duo’s thrillers, but this one missed the mark. While the story was unique (no spoilers), it was also dull. I wasn’t really invested in it. There was maybe one twist that caught me off guard, but I expect more from this duo. Given my love for their work, this story didn’t hold up. 3 stars.

Shay is a woman with a very small support system. She so desperately wants to fit in. To be part of the glamorous in crowd. But to what cost to her will this be?

I did enjoy this book very much. It was fast paced however there was no real big twist. There was a lot of action throughout the book but I feel that it was a bit predictable. You have Shay who has witnessed a murder however she believes it’s just a suicide. You have the Moore sisters Who are watching Shay and eventually work their way into her life. Shay is very trusting of these women. A bit too trusting really. She wants to be excepted so badly that she ignores the red flags along the way.

So if you’re looking for a fast-paced action packed book you have it. But don’t look for that big twist because it doesn’t really come.

You Are Not Alone was written by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. The book was released today by St. Martin's Press. I was given an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Shay is a hot mess. She has no real job, no apartment of her own, and is crashing with her best friend (oh btw she's totes in love with him) while his girlfriend is not so subtlety trying to push her out so she can move in. Fun, right? Just reading about how messy her life is stressed me out. Don't worry - it gets worse. When she sees a woman jump to her death in front of a train, she basically finishes falling apart.

Then she meets Cassandra and Jane, two sisters who seemingly have dream lives. They have flawless wardrobes, great jobs at their own PR company, and a dream group of friends. They take her under their wing, offering her new jobs and places to live, all while giving her dream makeovers. A NORMAL person would have found that suspect...but our dear baby bird Shay? SHE THINKS ALL HER DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE.

We all know what's about to happen. Everythingggggg hits the fan. All of a sudden, the police are wanting to question Shay about some criminal activity, and she realizes her dream may really be a nightmare.

This book was quite the ride. I don't know how many times I wanted to scream at Shay, or grab her and shake her while yelling "YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THIS DUMB." I understand she was at a low point in her life, but this girl is clearly very intelligent. She keeps notebooks full of statistics. What normal person does that? Still, she was lonely enough that the first sign of attention got her hooked into something she never could have imagined.

This was my second book by the authors (An Anonymous Girl was my first), and I was hooked from beginning to end. I'm all for the drama their books bring. Give me allll the tea. I'm ready for the next book.

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 Stars

This writing duo has done it again. Another great book to add to their list of great books. I really enjoyed this one.

This is the third book that I’ve read wrote by these authors and they continue to get better and better. There isn’t much I can say in this review because I don’t want to spoil this thriller for readers. The novel is fast moving with lots of twists and rather unique in its approach. Fantastic read and I can’t wait to see what these authors have next. Thank you for the advance review copy. I will be recommending this to all my thrilling lover friends.

Unputdownable. I started reading this book at a break neck speed and when I started creeping toward the mid way mark I panicked because I realized I would finish it soon and I didn't want it to end. This is easily one of 2020's bestsellers hands down. Make plenty of time to read this winner of a book because you'll forget about everything else. Ask my dog. She'll tell you. Happy reading!

Terrific book. Absolutely loved it. Compelling characters and story line. Kept me interested the entire time.

Oh, what a tangled web - definitely describes this novel! Shay Miller is the main character. She is personable but not so good with people. She is very analytical and keeps a data journal in which she keeps all her facts as she accumulates them - this turns out to be a valuable asset for her in many aspects of her life. Her life is in a shambles - she needs a new job and a new place to live. Shay is trying to rectify her instability. She is on her way to set up some interviews and work on her resume. She goes down to the subway and is waiting on the train. A stranger comes up beside her and immediately jumps in front of an oncoming train! The woman's suicide horrifies Shay and she becomes obsessed with finding out about her life. This is where we get immersed in the tangled web of deceit. We meet several women who are somehow involved with Amanda, who is the woman that commits suicide. Shay is very gullible and extremely naive. The psychological deception is off the charts. A thriller of a novel - tangled up with treachery, duplicity, and betrayal. It keeps you wondering if poor Shay Miller can survive!

HAPPY PUB DAY!! 🎉🎉

Huge thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for my ARC of You Are Not Alone in exchange for an honest review.

I bought this book as an add on with bookofthemonth as well. I needed a physical copy for my collection. 😍

After reading The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen became quick favorites of mine. So when I heard they were coming out with another book I knew I HAD to read it! Needless to say, this duo has done it again!
•
This book captured my attention from the very beginning. Honestly, when I first started reading it I messaged my friend, Michelle, and said “OMG Shay is me!!” 😳😂. It’s crazy but I just related to her so much in the beginning of this book. She wants a job that she loves, to feel like she belongs and of course, to find love. Yet all these things continue to elude her and nothing seems to be going right for her. In reality, don’t we all know a Shay?! As I read along I couldn’t help but sympathize with her. She’s a bit quirky and loves numbers and statistics. She even keeps a little journal to record them all.
•
What Shay never expected was for one moment to change her life forever! Not only does she witness a girl jump to her death in the subway but then she meets the Moore sisters. They seem to have it all and when they take Shay under their wing she feels like she hit the jackpot. Shay realizes she’ll do anything for the sisters. When odd things start happening though she starts to question everything. Do the Moore sisters really have her best interest at heart or do they have a more sinister plan in store for her?

This story is told in various POV’s, which was a little confusing at times but eventually I caught on. I enjoyed all the twists and turns in this book and the ending shocked me. Overall, I’d definitely recommend checking this one out friends. I can’t wait to see what this duo comes out with next!!

This duo has done it again! You Are Not Alone is a puzzling, twisty story that I was never sure where it was going. I had faith in the authors that eventually the pieces would all fall into place and the plot would be explained. The intrigue and suspense in getting there made for an exciting journey.

I have loved everything that Greer and Samantha have created. Together they are able to create very interesting, somewhat diabolical characters who take the reader down a suspenseful trail. And I loved every word of it! This is a book that you are not going to be able to put down. Check it out!!

**I have received this eARC from NetGalley and St. Martin's Press in exchange for an honest review. Thank You to both!**

I was one of the lucky ones to be able to read and review You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen prior to release. I have read their work before and really enjoyed the alternating perspectives and jaw dropping, anxious moments.

We follow Shay and the Moore sisters Cassandra and Jane. You Are Not Alone has you hooked from Chapter One! Shay is a very analytical individual. Breaking everything down into numbers and statistics. After witnessing a tragic event she becomes obsessed with a group of ladies. Enter the Moore Sisters.

This book had me on the edge of my seat. Anxious and desperate to find out the 'Big Reveal'. These two authors do an amazing job working with each other and leave you with the need to read more. As with their other books I was pulled in immediately, I enjoyed this story and was left breathless and content.

My ONLY gripe is the alternating perspectives can get a little messy at times. So much that you need to make sure that you know who or what you are reading in the moment. But not so much so that you cannot still enjoy the story. For this reason I rated the book 4 stars.

If you have not read a book by these two Authors I highly suggest that you do. They have a chemistry that cannot be manufactured ! This was one hell of a thrilling ride that everyone should take.

4 star Review.

This book was sooo good it kept me up half the night not wanting to stop! I feel like their books get better and better! I highly recommend this book.

Fantastic read! Everything you would want in a thriller (well , no car chases). Shay is a lonely 30-yr-old who has lost her job and her potential love interest when she sees a woman commit suicide by diving onto the subway tracks. Shay is badly shaken by the event and uses her spectacular research skills to gather more data about the woman (Shay lives for data). When she discovers similarities between herself and the dead woman, Shay becomes depressed and a tiny part of her wonders if suicide is not the answer. But when she meets some of the dead woman's friends, suddenly she is drawn into their warm circle and she feels buoyed and full of hope. Little does she know that the dead woman's friends have a nefarious intent in befriending her. Truly gripping and highly imaginative, YOU ARE NOT ALONE is a great read. I finished it a week ago and can't stop thinking about it. Treat yourself and read it right away!

Shay Miller’s life is exceptionally ordinary. That is until the day she witnesses a woman throwing herself into an oncoming subway. And of course, she struggles mightily to believe what she’s just seen. Who wouldn’t?
But for Shay it goes much deeper. She feels a sense of guilt…perhaps more precisely, a connection to this poor woman.

Suddenly Shay finds herself swept up in the woman’s past life. Even receiving help from the mystery ladys’ best friends, the highly popular and glamorous Moore sisters. Maybe something good and positive can come out of this tragedy after all. It’s starting to look as though Shay has a chance of living a life she never dreamed of.

This was a finely-crafted thriller with some ingenious twists along the way, so brace yourself!
True to form, if you’re a fan of this brilliant pairing of authors, then you’ll certainly love this one! Don’t miss out!

A buddy read with Susanne!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC to read and review.

*3.5 stars rounded up. Oh, what a crazy story! But then crazy stories can certainly be entertaining, can't they?

Shay is a young data analyst working in Manhattan whose life seems to be spiraling down: she has lost her current job due to downsizing, her best friend and roommate is in a serious relationship
and it's looking like Shay will have to find another place to live. And she needs to get a life! THEN she witnesses a suicide by subway train and finds herself obsessed with learning more about the young woman's life, even meeting some of her friends. Are they perhaps just a little too perfect? Will Shay wise up before she's drawn into their web of deceit?

I received an arc of this new thriller from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Many thanks.

This was not the page turner I was hoping for from this duo. Although I did enjoy it, I didn’t find myself overly excited about reading it. It was very predictable and at times a little too unrealistic. There were a couple surprising twists but they did not have much impact on the plot. I did still enjoy the story and would recommend it to someone looking for a quick read, it just wasn’t my favorite.
