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.

I dare you to think of a better duo….Memes ensue. No but really, Hendricks and Pekkanen together are quite the twisted little team. They excel in manipulation and trickery. They dabble in madness. And truth be told (although not in one of their novels), I fucking love it.

This book literally takes off like Cedar Point’s Top Thrill Dragster. Like you are reading the first few sentences and before you know if you’ve witnessed some shit and don’t even know who you are anymore. Hooked immediately. As if you really ever had a choice.

We have a few narrators including Shay Miller. Shay is basically almost friendless and the outlook on life is bleak. Not to mention she is a tad strange and keeps odd statistics. And lets just say Shay is messy. This messiness and desperation (let’s be honest) leads her to a great deal of trouble. Speaking of trouble, we follow a few other women most importantly a pair of sisters. Jane and Cassandra are beautiful, successful and interested in befriending Shay. But if you’ve been comprehending what I’ve been writing, it is obvious that Shay isn’t exactly the type this pair would innocently befriend. And that’s all folk. Just enough to bait you. Hendricks and Pekkanen can do the hook and sinking. And I promise they will.

Unpredictability is probably one of the best things about this team. So thrillers are getting painfully predictable. They all sound pretty familiar. And many lack originality. But here is the thing, I’ve never once felt like that after reading a Hendricks and Pekkanen novel. There is something so smart and sinister about the stories they write. Like I would not want to be the person to fuck with these females because they are on a whole other level of evil genius. The way the manipulate the words and other characters is so fucking devilish that I’m sure one of them has slept with the devil to gain this kind of power. I can’t think of another reasonable explanation. Feel free because I am at a lost for anything else that makes sense. I’d encourage you to pick up this devil’s night type of fun read.

Dare I say this is the best thus far? Absolutely. But I’m open to bumping it from the top spot. Keep them coming twisted sistas!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the read!

Three-peat! Three-peat! Three-peat! The dynamic duo of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen has struck again. In this latest domestic thriller we are introduced to shy unassuming Shay Miller. Her life seems to be falling apart. She's been laid off from her job and her roommate that she's secretly enamored with has fallen into the arms of another woman. One morning she witnesses a woman jumping in front of a train. She is traumatized by the experience but feels a strange connection to the woman. Her mourning leads her to the woman's memorial service where she encounters the Moore sisters. They are beautiful and glamorous and seem to have life all figured out. Shay instantly feels comfortable with them and craves their approval. What she doesn't know is what lies behind their carefully constructed veneers or the danger that awaits as she falls into their web of lies and deceit.

<b>You Are Not Alone</b> was an exciting fast paced read. I found it unputdownable finishing it in one sitting. It seems that whatever these two women touch is pure gold. highly recommend.

<i>Special thanks to NetGalley, Beatrice Jason from St. Martin's Press and authors Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen for advanced access to this book.</i>

What a great thriller! The plot was fast paced, layered and kept me guessing throughout. I enjoyed that the story was told through multiple perspectives. It’s hard to fully review this book without giving too much away, but it’s one of the few thrillers I’ve read lately that manages to avoid a predictable ending, while still keeping it plausible and without leaving annoying loose ends behind. Highly recommend!

Sarah and Greer do it again! I was drawn into this book immediately because the main character, Shay, is big into data analysis and that’s what I do for a living. While I related to her there, I hope I never relate to her again. This is a hard one to review without giving away spoilers, but she goes through a lot throughout the course of the book. This book had me confused (in the best way) until the very last twist at the end. ⁣

I’ve been so excited to read this one as I’ve loved the other two books these ladies have written. I’m going to my first author event ever with a few booksta-friends next week and I can’t wait to listen to these two! ⁣

3 1/2 ⭐️‘s

The team of Hendricks and Pekkanen know how to write psychological suspense, but this was my least favorite of their three books. It took me a long time to be drawn in, and I was never quite engaged the way I had hoped to be. With a host of female characters, and different time frames to establish back story, it was sometimes difficult to keep them all straight. While I guessed some of the story, the ending twist did take me by surprise. A good book, but I was hoping for more!!

One day while waiting for a subway train, Shay witnesses a woman committing suicide. Through the police she learns the woman—who strangely looks like Shay—was named Amanda. Shay becomes fixated on Amanda, showing up at her apartment and then her memorial.

That’s where Shay meets the Moore sisters. Cassandra and Jane are the best friends Shay never had. They’re glamorous, successful and treat Shay as if they’ve known her forever. Shay lies to them about how she knew Amanda, but what does one lie really hurt?

What Shay doesn’t know is the Moore sisters aren’t as kindhearted as she originally thought. Soon they’re transforming Shay into an Amanda replica, even moving Shay into Amanda’s old apartment. But why? And what they have in store for Shay is anything but innocent.

You Are Not Alone is author duo, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen’s latest co-written thriller. This reminded me a lot of their previous books, especially An Anonymous Girl with the classic game of cat and mouse. This story drew me in and I was hooked from start to finish. I loved the clever, minute details weaved throughout that popped up later on. A book with red herrings are always a winner in my book and this was no exception. This author duo has won me over with every book they’ve released and I can’t wait to read what they put out next. 4.5/5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

In a world saturated with psychological thrillers, You Are Not Alone has its own unique feel. This novel goes from zero to sixty with the turn of a page and doesn't let up. I was hooked and drawn into the storyline almost immediately. I kept reading to see how the plot would be resolved.

I had a lot of sympathy for the main character, Shay. She was definitely having a run of bad luck. She's vulnerable to anyone who preys on those individuals looking for companionship and acceptance. It made her a perfect target. Of course, like any self-respecting psych thriller, You Are Not Alone does throw in a few curve balls just to keep you guessing.

My only complaint is that I felt the book ended rather suddenly without a great deal of closure. I needed a little more time to see how Shay's life would be moving forward. But that's just me, I like for things to be all wrapped up nice and pretty with a bow on top. Other than that, I found the book to be quite good and really enjoyed it.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and the authors for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4/5 - This was a suspenseful book that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very last page.

Shay Miller witnesses an apparent suicide on the subway and her decision to attend this stranger’s memorial will change course of events of her life forever. There she meets the sophisticated Moore sisters whom immediately take interest with her. Envious of their style and grace, she is drawn to them immediately. Soon she finds herself wrapped up in their inner circle. As the tag line in the synopsis says, “Shay would die for them to like her. She may have to.”

This heart-pounding thriller was an exciting quick read. If you enjoyed their other books, this will not disappoint.

Thanks to St Martin’s Press for my free review copy. All opinions are my own. Pub date is March 2020.

The highly anticipated You Are Not Alone has definitely been worth the wait!
Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen artfully prey on our deep-seated fear of loneliness and abandonment to cultivate empathy for Shay, the protagonist of this twisted thriller. Perfectly paced, the story begins as a slow burn that quickly combusts into an inferno of lies, deceit, and betrayal. Where do you turn when all hope is lost?
If you are in the mood for tale of misguided justice and distorted friendships this NYC thriller is sure to please. Climb aboard, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!

I enjoyed the first two books by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen and was looking forward to reading You Are Not Alone. And although I did enjoy it, it was my least favorite book of theirs. It took me a while to get into the story. The constant switch between different pov's was jarring. Shay's POV is written in first-person and the Moor sisters' POV is written in third-person narration, which was confusing. The story only picked up halfway through the book. I finally started enjoying the book once I got to the second part. I wish I was more captivated by this thriller, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

Let me just say WOW! Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen did it again! I really enjoyed this third book by them.

"You Are Not Alone" is a story of a woman who finds herself witnessing a suicide. Little does she know that the suicide will lead to a downward spiral in her life.

I will admit at first I wasn't to crazy about the main character Shay but she grew on me. I feel like it was she was so analytical. I definitely grew alot of respect for later in the story.

The Moore sisters were definitely the best villains created by the authors. Their dynamic against Shay played very well with the storyline. One can easily love and hate them at the same time. This may sound twisted but I think they were my favourite. They were so sly and resourceful!

Thank you so much St. Martin's & Netgalley giving early access to "You Are Not Alone." I absolutely loved it!!! I highly recommend this book if you want a great thriller with several plot twist. It would create a great book discussion for a book club.

I absolutely love every book Sarah Pekkanen and Greer Hendricks write. They are masters at psychological thrillers. You Are Not Alone will have you questioning anyone who wants to befriend you. The Moore Sisters are master manipulators. Shay is very naive to any deception. The authors spin a tale that will keep you enthralled until the very last page.

I was so excited to read this however I was a bit let down. It didn't have the special hook that these two authors usually get me with. I kept waiting and waiting for the climax but it never really came. I don't think it got exciting until approximately 80-90% of the way through. The end went rather quickly which was a disappoint for me because it basically left me bored up until then. Not that it was a terrible book but it didn't have the intensity that The Wife Between Us had. What it boils down to for me was that it lacked the excitement of the "unknown" and the "hook" that has you coming back for more. There was one tiny surprise but it wasn't enough for me to be excited about. I also didn't really connect with Shay or any of the other characters.
