You know how sometimes you read a book, and it’s like there’s just too much going on? That it’s so busy with conflict and tension, that things get a little muddled? Yeah, that didn’t happen here lol. I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Was there a ton of stuff going on? Yes. Did that make things confusing? ABSOLUTELY NOT! There’s a multi-narrator story line, and that helped to keep things in line. Ariel, D, Min, Spider and Kat all told their views on the craziest plot line ever, and it kept all the facts where they needed to be. I had a few theories running at top speed through my mind the whole time, and I’m pleased to say I was right on a couple! Let me sum up: a plane crash, a mission for closure and acceptance of tragedy, a cult, a drug gang gone loopy, a kidnapping, a rescue mission.... I think I got most of it?! I loved this book. I’ve already recommended it to 3 people! There’s a ton going on, but lord was that a story I’ll remember for ages! I dock 1 star because I’m bummed we didn’t get to find out what happened with Ariel in the end. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who wanted more on that front. 
Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for allowing me to read and review this book. All opinions are my own.

i have come to the conclusion that paranormal/suspenseful books are just not it for me...

the premise of this book sounded SO interesting but i just couldn't get into it? i hope others enjoyed it but it's just not my cup of tea. 

the cover is beautiful though!

This novel wasn't bad at all. But I just didn't seem to love it for some reason. I felt very detached from the storyline and wasn't a fan of the characters. The story went by very fast, and while predictable, it wasn't horrible. The cover is gorgeous though!

This was a bit predictable but it was an enjoyable read! I stayed rather interested and enjoyed the plot.

Mysterious plane crash and strange cult like communities? Absolutely sign me up. This book was so interesting and kept me reading the entire time. I loved this story.

The Grey Sisters just didn't do it for me.  While I read it one sitting, it wasn't because it was super interesting or I couldn't put it down.  It was simply just so easy and predictable, with flat characters and really short chapters.  Honestly, if it wasn't so easy to read, I probably would have listed it as DNF.

I liked the beginning but every time it gets more and more confusing and I had to confess that was kind of hard to finish it.The alternating points of view helped move the story along although I became confused when the same character told the POV from first and then third person and back again. The premise seems interesting, but it wasn't for me.

I also read The Grey Sisters, which has a very dramatic set-up — two friends road trip to the place where their siblings died in a tragic plane crash and discover a doomsday cult living off the grid there — but ends up being mostly forgettable. I’m actually having trouble coming up with anything to say about it…

I absolutely adore suspense novels! I love when a book can keep me up late into the night, holding my breath, waiting to see what comes next. It did lose a bit of momentum with the switching POVs, as I had to try to keep track of who it was and how they tied together, but the ride was well worth it!

I felt like the characters were well rounded and three dimensional, with the exception of Johnathan. I wish we could have learned a little bit more about him. My favorite was probably D, but I also really enjoyed reading from Ariel's POV.

I think it portrays the different ways of grief really well with D and Spider.

The only thing that I didn't super love was how each chapter jumped to a different point of view. This was a little confusing.

I liked the ending, though I wish we could have gotten just a little bit more of everyone's recovery. Especially Min's, I feel like we didn't get to see anything of her after the huge ordeal.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read and review this title. I will review this title at a different date.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this early copy!

Did not finish - I could not connect with the plot or writing so I decided to put it down.

Although this book felt slower to get through, I think it was a good book. I don't really believe in giving authors really negative reviews, but more constructive criticism from a reader's perspective. I agreed with some of the other readers that the sibling dynamic could have been executed a little better. As someone with siblings who also writes about siblings, it wasn't quite there for me. However, Treggiari is clearly very good with her words and an excellent writer.

Closure

A plane crash in the Mountains called the Grey Sisters kills everyone but one person. That is how this tale begins. After that you know you are in for a fun ride. After the crash D and Spider who both lost siblings in the crash. What we see is a group of friends who go to the crash sight to get closer. The book is told in the perspective of the girls going to the plane crash site and Ariel’s chapters were my favorite I think they had more grit to them and it made it enjoyable. I have to say I am having a real hard time writing a review for this book without giving it away. There are some unique twists that make this a good read. I would be interested to see if this is a series or if this is the genre that this author stays in with the next book.

I didn’t love this one and I’m really sad about it. I wanted to be swept up in the emotions and that didn’t happen. I didn’t get the sibling vibes that I wanted and the POV jumps just had me confused most of the time. I can say that the writing was good but I just wasn’t a fan of the actual story.

This was a very weird read. I don’t even know how to describe it. It was equal parts good, bad, and somewhat confusing.

I did skim through some chapters because the characters in that chapter were very boring. It wasn’t until the last third of the book that I stopped skimming that character’s chapters because there was a lot starting to unfold.

With that said . . . <u>The Grey Sisters</u> started off a little slow. Interesting, and it did keep my attention, but just slow. Then the plot was very thin with little to nothing going on. We follow the girls on a road trip and we go through Ariel’s day to day in the “cult.” I honestly just kept reading to find out what happened after the crash.

It was somewhat predictable early on. I honestly was thinking there was going to be some kind of sci-fi twist but was only partly right — without spoilers . . . something I thought could be going on and was on the right track, just no sci-fi.

The three girls traveling through the mountains really got on my nerves. They’re friends, right? I just didn’t feel any type of connection between them. These girls are leading the story, essentially, and there’s no connection between reader and character, either.

Interesting to read, but I wish there was more to it.

Penguin Teen and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of The Grey Sisters. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.

D and Spider travel with their friend Min on a pilgrimage to the spot where a tragedy affected all of their lives. Will their need for closure lead them all into danger? Will a chance encounter give D and Spider the answers they had been seeking?

The Grey Sisters suffers from an identity crisis. I was expecting a YA survival fiction story, not a survivalist one on top of it all. Not only was there too much going on at once, but the book was completely predictable. The unrealistic way that the events transpired, especially the main one that is not even described fully in the book, took away from the compelling nature of the story. With a little more focus on one event or the other, The Grey Sisters would have been a better read. For these reasons, I would not recommend The Grey Sisters to other readers.

This book was a gripping thriller!

The story is told from multiple perspectives. D, Min, and Spider all have third person narratives. Ariel is the only girl who tells her story from a first person perspective, and she is the only one from the isolated community. The parts about the community seemed like they could have taken place a hundred years ago because of the isolated way that they lived. Since that was the only narrative that was told in first person, it made it easier to relate to her character.

The two different types of narratives seemed like separate stories for a lot of the book. D, Min, and Spider were going to see the crash site of a plane crash that killed D’s and Spider’s siblings. Ariel happened to live near the crash site. When both narratives came together, I was so shocked. They were connected in a way I never could have predicted. It was an amazing ending!

I loved this book! It’s a great, unpredictable book!

Thank you Penguin Random House Canada for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Well the book cover is lovely but the characters are lacking development and the story did not intrigue my like I hoped it would, it's a miss for me.

If you enjoy psychological thrillers, this book would be right up your alley. 

We meet two friends who are fighting PTSD from a plane crash that happened a few years earlier. When they think they've spotted evidence from the horrific crash, they decide to visit the site to see if they can discover the secrets. But something happens when they get there, sending them into a spiral for survival. 

It was a gut-wrenching read that took me by surprise. I didn't think that it would captivate me as much as it had, and I could not put it down. 

I gave this one 4 out of 5 stars.
