Great characters, a fast paced plot and wonderful twists. It kept me reading late into the night. Highly Recommended for fans of psychological thrillers.

Another great book by Hendricks and Pekkskan, authors of The Wife Between Us.
Jess is a makeup artist, struggling to make a living in NYC, when she gets an opportunity to make some extra cash by participating in a psychological study. How hard can it be to answer some questions by a college professor? Well, this wouldn't be a thriller if it were easy, amiright? Jess gets caught up in a mind game that is twisty, not knowing who in the world to trust. A very quick read and recommend it!
Thanks to NetGalley for the Advanced Copy in exchange for my honest review.

Honestly, I tried. I really tried! I was gifted an advanced copy of this book by St Martins Press (THANK YOU!) and thought I could wait to read it. I just couldn't wait any longer.
Jess is desperate for money. Her sister is handicapped and her parents can barely make ends meet. Her parents think Jess is a makeup artist for the rich and famous, but its far from the truth. One day, she overhears one of her makeup clients talking about a psych survey they are getting paid to do. Jess wants in. She arrives and completes the survey as advertised, but seems to do way better than the rest of the participants. Soon enough, Jess becomes the sole subject of the morality psychology test, but is it really what it's all cracked up to be? The professor seems to have a hidden agenda...but what is it?
I'm just going to flat out say it - this book is amazing. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. I kept texting my friends who had already read the book trying to figure out the end and predict what was going to happen. I could never get it right - the book blew me away each time. That is what I call an excellent book. This book is already in the works of becoming a short series television show and I can't wait. All the stars for this read! It's well worth the wait. PS. Go read The Wife Between Us while you wait!
5/5 Stars

An Anonymous Girl starts with an intriguing premise- an invitation to participate in a psychological study. Things quickly unfold from there. I was turning pages quickly to find out what in the world was going on and was satisfied with the ending. I hadn't read this duo's previous book, but I would consider reading it because this one was so enjoyable. Perfect if you need a fast-paced, creepy read without going into violent territory.

Mind games. Survival. Vindication. In that order, plus so much more. An Anonymous Girl was a “don’ttalktomeIhaveonemorechaptertoread” book.
Jessica is a struggling make up artist trying to make ends meet in the Big Apple. When she hears of a research project, led by psychologist Dr. Shields, she intelligently, but not so honestly, decides to join- after all, the extra cash would do her some good. What transpires next is an extremely codependent relationship (with a whole lot of shade) between Jessica and Dr. Shields that leads the reader down a path of twists, turns, and WTF’s.
I picked this one up in between a couple heavy reads, which was the perfect decision. An Anonymous Girl cleansed my palette in the best way, and left me a little hesitant to turn the final page. Hendricks and Pekkanen did a an amazing job building character relationships, but not to the point of predictability. If you only have a couple hours available for reading, no problem, you’ll fly through this one- it’s that good. I haven’t read their other novel- A Wife Between Us, but if it’s half as suspenseful as this one, count me it.

Wow! I devoured this book. It's been a very long time since a book kept me up all night because I needed to know what happened.
Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen are expert storytellers. I figured out some of the twists before they happened, but it never took away from the story.

A thrilling novel of suspense! My first read of a story by these authors and definitely not my last.. I am going to get my hands on The Wife Between Us ASAP. I think that pretty much sums up my feelings about this book. Thanks to Net Galley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read the advance copy. My advice is to pre- order and put some un-interrupted time aside to read.

Thank you to NetGalley for my advanced review copy. After reading The Wife Between Us, I really looked forward to the authors' next collaboration. I may have set my expectations a bit high, as this one just didn't live up to the hype for me. The concept of participating in a research study on morals and ethics is an intriguing one. The writing of the chapters from the psychiatrist's point of view do a good job of making Dr. Shield's out to be an obsessive, chilling villain and slowly build the suspense. However, the suspense never reaches a pivotal climax. The story lacked the major plot twists and jaw-dropping shockers I was hoping for. There really wasn't anything that came as a surprise to me. I also felt that the backstories of the three main characters could have been more developed, especially regarding what motivates their decisions. This lack of detail made their actions a bit implausible. An Anonymous Girl comes out 1/8/19.

I loved this book! Thank you NetGalley & the Publisher for the ARC of this fabulous book. It was so good that I finished it over a couple of days! I loved the author's book The wife between us so much that I worried that this one wouldn't measure up but it certainly did. While I found it started out a bit slow it progressed and I couldnd't stop turning pages! Excellent read! Can't wait for your next book!

Jessica is a freelance makeup artist barely making ends meet in NYC. Her work mostly consists of prom, wedding, and big date night makeovers along with the occasional off, off Broadway gig.
At one of her jobs, she learns about an opportunity to make easy money by participating in a research trial to determine moral behavior of the younger generation. It soon becomes clear that the director of the study, Dr. Shields, has some shady ulterior motives as she draws Jessica deeper and deeper into the "study."
As things grow increasingly sinister, Dr. Shield's husband steps in to stir Jessica away. A good thing ... or is it?
This is a turn paging psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I had read the authors' previous book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was really thrilled to be approved for this title.
The book immediately drew me in and kept me glued to it until the end. It was a really twisty book that kept me guessing right till the very end.
I read a lot of thrillers and because or this, I tend to see a lot of the twists coming, but this was not the case with this one. I just did not know where the story would go next.
I highly.recommend this book as well as the authors' previous book. You will not be disappointed.

So often book reviews start out with comparisons to other authors. This book was so unique that I could not reference others. Honestly, I got off to a slow start and if it wasn’t a net galley book, would have moved on to the next. I skimmed the next few pages and the Bam! Backed it up and read every word. I got drawn in and found myself waking up in the middle of the night and reaching for my Kindle. I got lost and confused a few times but I suppose you’re supposed to in a psychological thriller. Pekkanen and Hendricks are masterful writers together. The characters are complicated, intriguing, and a bit eerie because they are also relatable. There were a few random unbelievable story distractions that i felt were put in to smooth out some holes in the story logic that may have been the result of each authors different viewpoint. Definitely looking forward to the next collaboration. #netgalley

When I saw that Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen had a new book coming out, I had to get my hands on it. I absolutely adored their first book, The Wife Between Us. That book delivered solid twists that I didn’t see coming.
This book centers on Jess, an under-employed make-up artist struggling to make ends meet in New York City. While working on a client, she overheard what sounds like a lucrative opportunity to make some quick cash by participating in a psychological study. What follows is impossible to predict and impossible to tell who has good motives and who doesn’t.
I really enjoyed this book, especially the parts narrated by the main character, Jess. She was a fully fleshed character and as the book went on, I felt like I got to know her. She has a sympathetic, relatable back story with some secrets of her own. The parts narrated by the other main character, whose identity I will not divulge, I enjoyed less. That character’s voice, while I’m sure it was intentional on the parts of the authors, was so dry and clinical it irritated me a bit. However, that issue aside, the book was a fast read and delivered some satisfying twists of its own. I’d highly recommend this book to any reader who considers themself a fan of psychological thrillers.

I am once again blown away by the artful method these authors employ in weaving together a phenomenal psychological thriller. An Anonymous Girl kept me absolutely gripped, page after page and I was entirely compelled by the revelations that kept coming throughout the book. The novel follows Jessica Farris as she becomes embroiled in a dark and twisted psychology study of morality. Dr. Lydia Shields seems to have it all together with her glamorous appearance and highly respected position as a professor and therapist. However, it soon becomes very clear that Dr. Shields is weaving a tangled web to ensnare Jessica. I will never look at a seemingly innocuous survey the same again. This novel kept me reading well into the night and is sure to satisfy lovers of suspense and psychological thrillers. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a free copy in exchange for my review.

How do I rate this 10 Stars?! 🙌🏻
ALL THE ⭐️ s!
I could not put this book down! Sucked in at the first sentence until the very last word. What an amazing and unique plot. I loved the two character narrations.
This was Twisty, twisted, dark, unique, full of suspense and a freakin roller coaster because you couldn’t trust anyone! I kept waiting to be deceived over and over and over.
I could see this as a movie for sure.
Thank you to the authors for once again making me stay up all night deep inside another one of their books! I love you!❤️
Thank you to the publisher and #Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review. Unlike the characters in the book...my words are the truth 😂

This book held me captive from the very beginning! I was excited to read it simply because of the authors and I was not disappointed! They really know how to write a book that keeps you guessing until the twisted ending! I recommend this book for fans of B. A. Paris and Pamela Crane. A very good psychological thriller!

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is a thriller that gradually builds suspense to the satisfying conclusion. Jessica Farris inadvertently becomes a participant in a study led by Dr. Shields about morals and ethics. Slowly Jessica becomes raveled up in Dr. Shields' life and must figure out how to safely extricate herself. Twists and turns aplenty in this story. Read and enjoy!

Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen need to keep writing together! While An Anonymous Girl started out a little slower than their first book, The Wife Between Us, it reached a point where I was fully invested in the story and needed to finish it ASAP!
Morality is fluid and has a different meaning to everyone, which is what Jess realizes and Dr. Shields is studying. But just how fluid is it, and how differently to people think? Told from alternating - and unreliable - narrations of morality study participate Jess and study author Dr. Shields, An Anonymous girl quickly reaches a pinnacle of who can be trusted, who has the most to lose, and how far someone will go to save themselves and the ones they love. Secrets are kept, secrets are revealed, and this psychological thriller is full of them!

Creepy suspense book. On the plus side, great plot and building suspense. On the minus side - the swapping of viewpoints was not labeled, so each time I had to read a few lines to figure out who was talking - interrupting the flow of the story. And it seemed too long, there were repetitive parts. I would recommend though, a fun read.

This was a fast paced, complex story. You think one thing is going on and then find out it’s something completely different. It takes some wild turns that lead you to a great and surprising finish. I wouldn’t really call this a “mystery” in the true sense of the word but it is pretty dark.
