Natalie has found Mr. Right! Hudson is all she wanted and is looking forward to their trip away to a rural island in Montana (which I never knew existed!) and is hoping for a ring at the end of it. Strange things start to happen and there are alot of twists that happen throughout. Enjoyed the pace and how it tied together at the end. I liked the dual point of view and how interesting their relationship was throughout. I did find it to be a page turner and am looking forward to more books by this author.

You Are Not Alone Review!

I immediately grabbed this one after I saw it was set on Flathead Lake in Montana. Seriously one of my favorite places to visit!! And it was on a seceluded island? Sign me up!

I’d be shocked if the book will be published as it is with the major plot holes in this one. I had to read the prologue 3 times to see if I misread something. I didn’t. It really felt like the prologue and epilogue were added in at very last minute for no reason at all. While I did like the story and the setting, I was very frustrated that I read 5 hours with a book that couldn’t go back to the proglouge and check the plot? 1.5/5 ⭐️

The setting of this book was really good for the plot twists and the mystery/thriller aspect, but however I found it difficult to connect with the characters. Natalie and Hudson, while unique, felt kind of dull, as if they were stereotypical horror characters. Not only was she portrayed as snobbish, but her boyfriend didn't match up with her personality. It started off fairly slow, which I couldn't get behind.

I needed a quick guilty pleasure thriller to pull myself out of a slump and this did the trick. I read it in a sitting and stayed entertained.

I loved this book and absolutely devoured it, it felt one of a kind and I wish that I had read this book sooner.

My word this was like sitting down with a friend with a cuppa and opening up. A personal account but I one that every reader will be able to empathise with and take encouragement from. It didnt feel like a lecture but really did feel empathetic, and ultimately empowering. I had to sit and think for a good few days after finishing it before reading anything else.

I wanted to love this, however it was just not enjoyable so I did DNF at 30%.

Thank you to Netgalley & the publisher for my early arc copy of this!

This book was gripping and hard to put down. It didn't feel like everything else you see out there, it felt very fresh. I really enjoyed this book!

Natalie and Hudson go away to what they think is a pretty deserted island to spend time together (and Natalie hopes get engaged). They soon realize it's not as secluded as they hoped. There are some twists and turns, overall a quick read

This thriller is one by a new to me author and a book I thought I had figured out rather quickly.
But I was very wrong!

It was a twisty ride, filled with intrigue and suspense and turned out to be a story that I throughly enjoyed.

Thinking you are alone on an island is already scary enough, then finding out that isn't the case - yikes. This did not quite hit for me but was almost there.

What a ride! What starts as a romantic getaway for Hudson and Natalie turns into this almost far fetched crazy plot for revenge. It was a fast read, not terribly long a book and fast moving. My first by Cupps; definitely interested in more. Thank you NetGalley for the Arc

Thank you to NetGalley, Leah Cupps, and Inkubator books for the ARC in exchange for my review. This is a first read from this author and I was impressed! The book is a page turner, it’s a quick read but keeps you interested. The story is broken down into three parts and has two character perspectives. While the twist I figured out quite early on, it was still a good read. We learn a lot about the characters as the book progresses. The characters were fairly likeable for the most part. The story itself is not overly realistic but it was still quite captivating. I will definitely be reading more from this author!

A roller coaster thriller ride that did not disappoint with many twists throughout. This was a fast gripping story that kept me guessing in each chapter. I enjoyed it was set in Montana on an island making it a secluded vacation with a haunting past. What begins is a relaxing vacation quickly becomes a live-out-the-storm survival vacation. The characters were very well-developed and easy to relate to. If you want a fun and fast thriller then You Are Not Alone is where to start.

A young couple goes for a romantic retreat to an island in a Montana lake. Soon there, Natalie finds a diary from what appears to be the missing woman who used to live in the island house. Moreover, she feels like someone else is on the island watching them.

I thought this one was pretty fast-paced and easy to read, but Natalie and Vivian were just so hard to read as female characters. Natalie just felt really artificial and shallow, so it was hard to sympathize with her. Vivian was also hard because she was just so bent on revenge and did not have many other dimensions. If you are wanting just a fast paced thriller with a few decent twists, then this is for you. However, the characters are not the best overall. Also, the epilogue doesn't add anything so feel free to skip that.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 Stars.
You Are Not Alone is a twisty read set on a remote private island.
Natalie and her boyfriend Hudson have gone away for a weekend break to a private island for some alone time, and Natalie is excited because she thinks Hudson is finally going to propose. But when odd things start happening that can't be explained, the couple begin to wonder if they're alone on the island after all, and they begin to suspect a missing girl may be there with them. As Natalie slowly begins to slot pieces of the clues around her together, the life she thought she was living starts to quake at her feet.
I enjoyed this book and the little twists that occurred. However, I wasn't fully invested in the characters, and I felt something was missing but couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. The island setting was great and was the perfect setting for the story.

A quick and enjoyable read. A couple goes away for a romantic weekend that turns out to be not what they thought. The characters have secrets and I don’t quite know what their end goal was. I loved the way the book came together.

This book was really engaging and I had no idea where or when the next twist was coming. I found this book easy to read quickly as I wanted to find out what would happen next.

I was instantly into this story and trying to get an idea of what might be going on to figure out who did what. I was surprised when the twist hit and didn’t see that coming and really liked how the story played out.
