I was really nervous going into this one because The Wife Between Us was my top psychological thriller for 2018, I mean I am still recommending it like crazy to anyone who needs a good twisty book to read. So I really wasn’t sure if It could even compare. Sometimes it’s soooo good to be WRONG!

Insanely addicting! This writing just once again was phenomenal. There weren’t too many big twists or anything like that but there didn’t need to be because it was still so dark and entrancing.

This is how much I loved this book you guys, I started it at night when I knew I had to get up early for work the next morning and I have no idea why. I wanted to see if just a few pages would spark my interest. Well, lets just say I was extremely tired the next morning and I couldn’t wait for it to be my lunch break so I could read some more!

The characters were amazing. Jessica was like any of us girls in our twenties, just trying to make it through life one step at a time. She was relatable and naïve. Dr. Shields though, whew. There’s many words to describe this woman. Manipulative being number one. Obsessive, intelligent and defiantly cunning.

The plot though? I’m going to keep that a secret because this is one story you will want to go into blind as a bat!

I hope Greer and Sarah keep writing together because so far they are an amazing team! I was so happy to get an early copy of this gem and I’m sure everyone else who got one too feels the same way. Just like The Wife Between Us, An Anonymous Girl will most likely once again be the top psychological thriller of 2019 for me!

Um wow, what a book!! From start to finish it gives you a thrill. Its suspenseful from page one, you make a guess and you are totally wrong. Jess, a daughter looking to make extra money to help out her family decides to jump into a psychology study and is dubbed "Subject 52". She is asked random questions that leads to her being further studied by a Dr. Shields and becoming what she thought as friends. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Excellent job again by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.

Just couldn’t connect to the characters or get behind the reasoning for anything anyone did. From the mundane to the extreme, nothing resonated with me.

Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have done it again! An Anonymous Girl had me so anxious to find out what the next page would say throughout the entire book. I felt for Jess the entire time as she never knew who she could trust.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The story is been told in alternating points of view between the two main characters. I felt a bit confused because my mindset was sequential time frames not this back and forth of the two individuals thinking. This actual made me reread a couple of chapters in the beginning which made it clearer to me what was happening. After that I couldn't stop reading because you become intrigued and want to know where it is going to end. All through the book you are wondering what Dr. Shields is up to. Is this really an academic study or a sinister plot that will cause harm to Jessica or somebody else. You can almost smell Jessica's fear as Jess's paranoia becomes more and more intense and her dependency on Dr. Shields keeps increasing. The ending adds an unexpected twist to story.
This is not an easy book to read and not for everybody but if you enjoy psychological thrillers this is definitely worth your time and will play around in your mind after you finished the book.

4/5 stars!
Thank you Netgalley for the advanced read! An Anonymous Girl follows Jess as she navigates her single life in NYC; desperate for extra money, she gets involved in what seems to be an innocuous research study on morality. But what follows is a twisty, terrifying psychological thriller. I kept reading this at night and had a hard time sleeping! It was a great page turner and in the end, not what I expected. The writing style in some ways was a little off putting to me, jarring in a way, but I feel like that was intentional. If you like thrillers but need something different from everything else that you’ve been reading lately - I recommend this book!

First I’d like to thank the publisher & NetGalley for the Arc of this fantastic read. I loved it from the first to the last page. First time reader of these fantastic authors Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen. I loved this book I cannot say it enough. I will not give any spoilers and Highly recommend to all my friends and people who love a good mystery book. I’ve read it twice, if you get the chance please check it out.

From the authors of "The Wife Between Us," An Anonymous Girl is even better than their first collaboration! Another psychological thriller, the reader is never QUITE sure what is going on. I loved the research study premise and without giving anything away, I can just say: GO READ THIS BOOK!!

This book was a trip - a women decides to make some extra money and ends up a pawn in a therapists evil scheme to mess with her husband. This thriller will have you up all night!

A complex thriller the likes of which I have never come across. So many twists and turns that I never guessed the ending. This book was graciously provided in exchange for an honest review.

I know I am in the minority here and I am glad. This book started out better than I expected since it was labeled a slow burner. But half way I stated losing interest. I have to say I thought it was better than The Wife Between us but not a "OMG you have to read this book" type of book for me. There were some twists and turns but no shockers, not enough for me anyway.

I was provided an ARC of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Expected publication January 8th, 2019!

After reading and absolutely loving The Wife Between Us earlier this year written by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, I was sooooo excited to read An Anonymous Girl. The Wife Between Us was quite possibly one of the top 3 thrillers I read this year, and I couldn't wait to see what this author duo had in store for their next book.

Unfortunately, it fell a little bit flat for me. It was just "okay" which is definitely NOT how I felt after reading The Wife Between Us. I was expecting to be absolutely blown away. I wasn't.

The concept of this book was intriguing. Jess is a struggling makeup artist in New York City. When she stumbles upon a research study about morality and ethics that pays a pretty penny to participants, she is all in. However, things start to get a little strange when Jess meets Dr. Shields, the primary investigator for the study. Dr. Shields is beautiful, elegant, well-spoken, and Jess finds herself completely under her spell. But, everything is not as it seems. What follows is a game of cat and mouse. Who can Jess trust? Who is telling the truth? Who is lying?

Okay, so the first 40% of this book was fabulous. I was roped in immediately. Loved the concept of the research study and couldn't wait to see what happened. However, right around the halfway point, I found myself having a hard time with the "believability factor." The story started to get a little bit far-fetched and extravagant. Some of the decisions that the main characters made were outlandish, and I felt like the plot got a little convoluted. I waited painstakingly for a shocking twist or some sort of climax to compliment the slow burn that ensued, but unfortunately it just kind of fizzled out. I didn't find the ending all that shocking. Definitely didn't have the same "feels" that I had with The Wife Between Us where my jaw was literally on the floor on multiple occasions.

All of that being said, it was still a good book. It just wasn't mind blowing. And with the saturation of the mystery/thriller genre, a book really has to have a knock-out plot to stand out. I think this one will unfortunately be a little bit forgettable.

I still have mad love for Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, and will read their books in the future. I wish I could have given this book a better review, but just can't.

-I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen, and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to review.-

5 magical stars! This is the type of book that drew me to thrillers. Full of twist and turns, but noting too outrageous. It never had the feeling of being rushed and never drug on. This was a page turner that had me flying through the pages trying to figure out who to trust and where the story was going to go. This book comes out in January and definitely a great way to start the new year!

I loved this book! From the very beginning I was drawn into trying to figure out what the point was of Dr Shields study and as the book went on I was desperately trying to figure out how her mind worked. It kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.

Hendricks and Pekkanen wrote a fabulous book in The Wife Between us. I was wondering if this book would be as amazing and I can say that it truly is! This story hooked me from the beginning and kept me on the edge of my seat turning the paged anxiously waiting to see what was coming next. The story is written from two different perspectives, the protagonist and antagist. Very exciting and the storyline is so very unique. Yes it's about infidelity but more involved than that . Very complicated and creative. Highly recommended! Go pre order it now.
I want to thank Netgalley and Martin Press for the opportunity to give an honest review for an advanced copy.

This book has an original plot. I loved that it gave a twist to a sort of overused storyline. The story is definitely a slow burn and a buildup. Slow enough in fact that I set it down several times but good enough that I picked it back up each time. The characters are few in this book so you get to know them well and while I saw the end coming, I was certain that I couldn’t have figured it out completely. There was a tiny twist at the end that kind of help redeem the simplistic conclusion for me. Overall an enjoyable read.

When makeup artist Jess, strapped for cash, pretends she's one of her clients and participates in a research project probing ethical dilemmas, she thought she had serendipitously found a great way to earn some good money. But she soon learns she is a pawn in a very serious game, and has put herself and her career in deep jeopardy. A tense psychological thriller with vividly drawn characters and plot surprises to the very end, An Anonymous Girl is a compelling read.

I do not understand all of the 5 star reviews! This book had an interesting, original premise, but I actually found it slow and a bit draggy. The story is told from two points of view . . . Dr. Shields, a manipulative therapist, and Jess, an unlucky participant in a supposed morality study. It tries to build up to an intense psychological thriller but never quite gets there. Maybe too much of a cat and mouse game with all of the back and forth between the two women characters. I found myself putting it down for days at a time and forcing myself to finish it in order to give an honest review. I thought the authors’ “The Wife Between Us” was much better and hope that any future endeavor will, at least, live up to that one.

An Anonymous Girl ~ whoa! wham! I loved this book and could not put it down. Cat and Mouse? One twist and turn after the other. It all relates around an academic study, a young girl poses a spot and suddenly caught up in a dangerous, scary and sort of pycho game. So intriging and mysterious, I 'm picturing a movie with Glenn Close!
Totally recommending this! #netgalley.com #AnAnonymousGirl #St.MartinsPress

Ooh! So addictive! You will not be able to put this one down!

Moral choices. No definitive right or wrong, a grey area that’s never that simple. Choices we make everyday. Choices that effect not only ourselves but everyone around us.

Jessica is a struggling make-up artist in New York City. When a chance opportunity for quick cash falls in her lap she just can’t refuse!
She fibs (just a little bit) to be included in a University psychology study. Simple enough - answer a few questions and receive some quick, easy cash! Can’t be easier than that. But come on, we all know everything in life comes with a price.

Jessica is quickly in over her head and has no idea how to get herself away from the study or the psychiatrist who’s running this study.

This was a gripping read that I basically read in only a few sittings. I developed my own theory on what was going on, only to discover I was completely out in left field!
An entertaining thriller! I would recommend.

A buddy read with Susanne!
