I loved this one! Thank you for approving me to read it.
Three reasons you should read this book:
1. Full of revenge. For anyone who crosses in the wrong path.
2. Twisted trio of sisters.
3. It will make you shocked. It will make you stay awake and want to read to know what the hell happens.
This is the third book that I have read by the author duo of Hendricks/Pekkanen. All of their books are thrillers, but "You Are Not Alone" has become of my favorite. All I can say is that I had an extremely difficult time putting the book down. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Five stars all the way. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!
After witnessing a horrible incident, Shay begins to look at her own life. She’s sharing an apartment with a male roommate that’s beginning a serious relationship with someone else, she doesn’t have a steady job, no real friends and no love life. After the fabulous Moore sisters take her under their wing, Shay thinks her life is about to change for the better. But what comes next is beyond anything she could imagine. A must read thriller!
Top notch book! I loved the suspense and all the different aspects of the characters. They were all well written and relatable. As I was reading I knew something was 'up' and continued to make a variety of guesses. There are SO many ways I could spoil the book, so my review will be short! Major twists and turns that you do not see coming and some that you will!
Not many books surprise me, but this one definitely did. I feel that the characters were well developed and I could understand their backgrounds. I greatly enjoyed this book and it kept me guessing.
I spent most of this book trying to figure out what the heck was going on in it. This kept me intrigued but I'm not sure it was all worth it. I wanted to know what was going on but I'm not sure I ever really figured it out. I think the book had an overall good premise but I'm not sure it came fully to fruition. Something about it has left me unsatisfied by the story overall.
This is one of those unputdownable (I made up a new word) books that will have you biting your nails right up until the end. Shay is such a sympathetic character that you will find yourself rooting for her from the very beginning. It also has a twist that was so perfect. I can't say too much because I don't want to give anything away but you have to read this one. This pair has never let me down and the streak is still going.
Thanks to St. Martin's Press for an advance copy of this book.
This book will not disappoint. It started off with a bang and just took off!! The story was great and I did not figure it out!!! Kept me entertained!!!
I will always always be the first in line to read these authors. I loved The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl, so when I saw You are Not Alone was coming out, I had to have it! You are Not Alone kept me hooked and interested from the first chapter to the last.
Shay Miller is the protagonist of the book who witnesses a stranger's suicide at the subway station. She half-attempted to stop the jumper, but she was unsuccessful. The only thing left of the crushed young woman is a necklace which Shay absentmindedly puts into her pocket. That necklace will lead Shay into a very dangerous and unexpected world of women and secrets. These women become the friends she's always wanted and she feels they are her comfort and salvation and pathway to a new and beautiful world. I will not spoil whether or not Shay is correct, but I will say that I felt a great deal of empathy for Shay. I think everyone has insecurities and longs to be accepted and part of a group. I felt Shay ignored some obvious red flags in the name of acceptance.
I have enjoyed all of their books, but I enjoyed this one the most. I recommend it and enjoyed it very much!
Another great thriller by Hendricks and Pekkanen. Readers will enjoy the twists and turns and be on the edge of their seat throughout the book.
Another gripping thriller from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, authors of The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl; these authors will once again keep you guessing and definitely flipping pages to discover what happens next. In this novel, Shay, a lonely New Yorker, witnesses a young woman jump in front on a subway. She soon finds herself befriending the woman’s best friends, two glamorous sisters, and their involvement in her life suddenly brings about changes to Shay’s life, including a new job and new digs. But not all is as it seems as the authors bring the reader on a fun, yet paranoid, ride, exploring how Shay’s life changes due to the sisters’ influence.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the ARC.
I finished You Are Not Alone in just over a day - thank you Net Galley for the advanced copy! It was a fast paced and fun read from the author duo of The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl, two really solid thrillers that did not disappoint me. I will honestly say that I found those previous two more gripping, their twists and turns more exciting and unexpected, but You Are Not Alone did have one revelatory plot twist at the end that left me happily satisfied in the way only books of this genre - that are solidly written and well-plotted - can do. At this point I would read most anything by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Thrillers and psychological suspense is an oversaturated genre but they consistently deliver solid books in the category. I would give this 3.75 stars.
I loved this psychological thriller. You Are Not Alone explores the infinite human psyche of girls friendship. I recommend this excellent page-turning suspense.
👀 👀 👀 👀 A terrific, intriguing thriller — I think the best so far from Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pennanen. I knew absolutely nothing about the plot before diving in, and I think that’s the best way to approach this book.
But briefly...the story kicks off with a down-on-her-luck 30-something woman named Shay witnessing a tragic suicide on a NYC subway platform. That bit of bad luck sets off a chain of events that is really best uncovered in the pages of the book, but I found the journey and payoff to be worth it.
The fast-paced story is told in alternating viewpoints as is typical of these authors, and had me guessing up until the very end. I think fans of their other work will be drawn in and devour this latest title.
You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen did not disappoint! I love the cat and mouse games in their novels. You are never quite sure what is actually going on. I thought I had this one figured out but I was wrong! You should definitely read this one. It was a fast paced story with plenty of chills. I really enjoyed the different narrators and timelines. Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
Copy furnished by Net Galley for the price of a review.
A seemingly random act of suicide witnessed by a young woman continues to haunt. Her name is Shay and she becomes obsessed with it, digging into the victim's past life to learn more. With an utter love for statistics, she logs numbers as they pertain. Numbers don't lie, you know. Without quite realizing how it happened, Shay is taken under the protective wings of a sort of sisterhood. What begins as a new lease on life becomes a slow twist that segues into a nightmare.
I liked this story, but it did not have that "Pow! Right in the kisser!" factor that the authors' first two novels packed for me.
Another great story from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Definitely didn’t end the way I was thinking.
Shay Miller’s life was slowly running away from her. She had no few friends, no good job prospects, and was being forced out of her apartment. Enter the golden Moore sisters and they spectacular life. Better yet, they wanted to invite Shay into their beautiful life. But at what price? And why is Shay suddenly being investigated for a crime she knows nothing about? Some things really are too good to be true.
Meet Shay Miller - her one desire is to belong. Her job is a dead end and her only friend is moving in with someone else. One day Shay watches a girl jump in front of a moving subway car and her life is instantly changed. She finds herself obsessed with this person and why she would commit suicide. When attending the memorial service, Shay finds herself entangled with the Moore sisters. The Moore have everything: perfect job, glamorous life, and an unbreakable circle of friends. Shay would give anything to have this life, but at what cost?
Greer and Hendricks have this perfect thriller writing style. You’re reading and have no clue what is going on … and then you think you know what’s going on, but in reality you have no idea. I absolutely love this! The novel focuses on Shay, a single data analyst living in NYC and her struggle to belong. When she crosses paths with the Moore sisters, they seem nice and interesting, but in good writing fashion nothing is what it seems. Every so many chapters the author would switch narrators and have a chapter focus with the Moore sisters or another character to see how the plot will enfold, which all ties into the Moore sisters’ web.
I would absolutely recommend this novel. It is a great make a cup of tea and cuddle on the couch book. You will absolutely devour this in only a few sittings. Due out March 3rd.
Holy moly!!!! I finished this book in two days! It was the third book I’ve read by this duo and my favorite so far! It was faced paced and kept me on the edge of my seat! Can’t wait to see what they come out with next! Thank you!!
These are two of my favorite authors. I have reviewed other books by them and I still maintain that they are a powerhouse together.
The reason for the low rating for this book is because I just didn’t find it entertaining. Coming from this pair I expect riveting drama, deep emotional undertones and while there was a little. It was minute compared to their other books. I didn’t feel the need to rush back to this book, it wasn’t a page turner, and there was no wow factor other than who Valerie turned out to be.
I will say it was a well-written book, but the plot was just very weak and underdeveloped.
