Okay so. I don't really know what I was expecting from this book? I had a hard time telling what this book is actually about since the synopsis of it is really... vague? And based on it, I was intrigued but couldn't tell if this would actually be something I would like or not. I haven't read the other books by this pair either so that didn't help. But I was intrigued so I picked this one up anyway.

And I'm really glad I did! Phew. What a book. I absolutely FLEW through this book! I couldn't get enough!! Even when I had to put it down, I was longing to pick it back up and find out what happened. Because this story is honestly fascinating?

So. What is it actually about? Lady vigilantes (kind of?) is the way the synopsis kind of had me leaning. And yes, that's kind of right? But this is more a story of be careful who you trust because people are not what they seem. And that is definitely my kind of story. But I also had a really hard time deciding who I was rooting for in this book. It is filled with a ton of compelling characters and, for a time, I couldn't decide who I sided with.

Because the main character, Shay, seems almost naive for most of the story (which is definitely the point) and you're almost cringing at her for not picking up on clues and letting so many things happen to her. And you almost want to side with Cassandra and Jane because who doesn't want the people who have wronged us to face consequences? So it's an interesting tale of right and wrong and how sometimes people just end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I also didn't see the twist coming. I honestly didn't think there would be a twist because it seemed like a pretty straightforward story and we seemed to get all the pieces as we went along. But. I was very wrong. And when the twist did happen, I was super not prepared. And because it completely blindsided me, I liked this story even more. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting (though I can't really even say what I'd been expecting).

Overall, this was a wonderfully written, well paced thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would HIGHLY recommend this one! And I will definitely be picking up the other books by this pair!!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me the chance to read and review this book!

I've read other books by this duo, and I've enjoyed them. However, this one didn't meet my expectations. The writing was solid and seamless. It's amazing to have that with a duo. However, the story wasn't up to my expectations. Some parts were too predictable, while others were too drawn out. There were a couple surprises for me, but not as much as I usually find with this genre. I kept waiting for "more," which never came. The premise was interesting, but it fell a bit flat, overall. However, I'll still check out future books.

A fascinating premise is the spark that ignites this thriller...but ultimately it fails to deliver the fireworks of surprise it should have. This writing duo are masters of the twist...but this novel just doesn't deliver enough of them, alas.

2.5/5 stars for this one.

The first 2/3 of the book was fast paced and coherent. The characters were fleshed out well, except one, which lead to the confusing finale. The writing was above par, and the character chapter switch is a standard for this writing duo.

The last 1/3 was rushed and almost incoherent. The build up was decent but the letdown, so bad.

If you are a fan of their novels, you may get a better feel out of it but I really believe this book does not live up to the hype.

Shay Miller is lonely, needy. She’s fallen for her roommate, who unfortunately is in a committed relationship. On her way to her temp job, she witnesses a suicide. This completely makes her come unhinged, rightfully so. She becomes somewhat obsessed with the victim. Enter the Moore sisters and their band of merry women. As Robin Hood would steal, this group wants to teach lessons in a profound way. Vigilante justice with crazy thrown in.

Writing alone is a labor or love, but writing as a duo, where you need to come together cohesively, could be a nightmare. But, this best selling duo do it seamlessly. This is a fast-paced psychological thriller. I do enjoy their writing style, this cast of characters and their story line, but for all but one slight twist, I didn’t find it particularly shocking! Loved that Shay got her point across. I recommend this book that will be hitting stores on March 3.

Thanks to Net Galley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC! I look forward to Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen’s next endeavor. Add them to my list of I’ll read whatever they’re writing!

Review to be posted on a B&N and Amazon on pub day.

So, this started off great. I was really into the characters and I have loved these two authors working together in the past. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! Somewhere in the middle I kept putting it down and not really caring if I picked it back up. The late middle really dragged for me. I knew where it was heading and I just wanted it to get there already. The main character does some really questionable things and wastes a lot of time and energy. The ending brought me back in. I wouldn't rate this as high as the other two collaborations, but it did redeem itself to some extent. And then there was the twist there. Doesn't there have to be? Actually, there really doesn't. It wouldn't have been enough without it, to be honest. Although, our heroine would have never figured anything without it.

If you’ve ever read one of Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen’s thrillers, you can attest to the fact they are typically ALL of the following things:

- compulsively readable to the point of losing all sleep til finished
- twisty to the point of severe whiplash and permanent shock face
- confusing as hell, making you question every single thing til the very last minute

Sound familiar? …this one is no exception! The twists were there. (holy heck that one at the end!) I pointed fingers at all the despicable characters. (b*tches be CRAZY!) And I read it one butt-numbing session with a box of wine, barely pausing to come up for air!

It was a wild story and a bit off the wall at times, but I do have to say it’s the best book they've put out so far in my opinion.

I didn't love their other two books, to be honest, but they do make an insanely good buddy read discussions!

This was my first book by these popular authors so I was eager to check out their writing style. This book was fast paced especially toward the end. A suicide occurs in the beginning of the book that Shay witnesses and this sends her life into a chaotic mess. Shay is a lost soul struggling to find her way in the world. Unfortunately she gets mixed up with the mysterious Moore sisters as she becomes obsessed with learning more about the suicide victim. As Shay gets more involved with the sisters her life initially starts to improve. She has had a physical transformation, she finds a new apartment and job and she has wonderful new friends. Unfortunately she soon learns nothing is as it seems. Shay eventually begins to realize just how dangerous her new friends are. I liked this book and it kept my interest and there were some good twists near the end.

I’ve read two previous books from this duo and each time I’ve enjoyed their work. They know how to suck you and keep you guessing and this time around with You Are Not Alone it was no different!

Shay Miller is young smart woman, but is having some career issues. Good thing she lives with one of her best friends who is supportive through it all. But she happens to have a secret crush on him. The problem with that is, he has a girlfriend. And kinda controlling one at that. But Shay lives her through using data and statistics data. She’s kinda obsessed with it uses it to make her life decisions, including her love life. One day she witnesses a young woman throw herself off a train platform. Of course watching someone commit suicide would shake anyone, but she’s finds a new obsession, learning everything there is to know about the woman. While at the young woman’s memorial service she meets the Moore sisters. They seem kind and caring. But she doesn’t know them but this is a way to find out more about the woman, so Shay befriends them but she soon finds herself in a game of cat and mouse.

Shay was a great narrator and sometimes a little of an unreliable one. From the start I felt for her. Her life is a mess from her career, to her family, to her family life to even her love life. She doesn’t have a lot of people that she lean on through all of it either and then she witness a suicide which makes things worse for her. Being estranged from her mother and her best friend/roommate is now in a relationship she craves the attention and friendship. Now, the Moore sister that she meets are gorgeous and successful and when they befriend her she is thrilled. But I guess the whole “looks can be deceiving” thing comes into play but she doesn’t see it. At first.

The story is told mainly from Shay but we are also given a few other perspectives from a few other characters too. With each of them, there are little clues here and there as to what was going on and what parts they may or not play. But with each character, the more questions arose. Now, I do love a good mystery so I just had to sit back and keep reading. I liked that the pacing of the story was slow and steady because it works so well with everything that was going on. There were plenty of suspenseful and some quite sinister moments along the way and some things that kept me on my toes. And while I had some things figure out early on, there were so many things that I certainly did not see coming. And the ending was definitely a shocker! And a fantastic one too!

You Are Not Alone was a suspenseful, page turning thrill ride, filled with mystery and deceit. For fans of twisty psychological thrillers this will be a hit for sure. It definitely was for me!

Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen know how to write a thriller. In You Are Not Alone, I thought I had the plot line figured out until the twists and turns had me up late reading past my bedtime! Highly recommended.

All around a good book. However, other books published my these two authors are better in my opinion. There was nothing that I specifically disliked about this book or the storyline and it definitely kept me interested but it seemed a little drawn out for me. My Dad and I read it at the same time and we were both really enthralled from the first chapter. You will spend at least half the book trying to figure out where it is all going but for two sisters who are so smart and organized, the ending is sloppy and unrealistic --personas failed to follow through throughout the entire book.

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

I loved this story and the way it was told from Shay's point of view and other key players povs. It did start a little slow, but the more the story is unraveled the more intriguing it becomes! Was not disappointed at all! Thank you Netgalley and St Martin's Press for this ARC and letting me leave my honest opinion.

When I heard that Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen were joining forces once again to write their third psychological thriller, it instantly became one of my most anticipated books of the year.

You Are Not Alone has the same slow burn psychological drama/thriller vibe as their two previous books, and I loved that! I love how they weave a seemingly innocent story into something detailed and surprising. I was captivated from the very beginning and enjoyed every bit of reading this book!

Told in three parts, Shay is the primary narrator. However, the reader does get the opportunity to read various perspectives of the group. All of the various perspectives and characters kind of meshed together, and I couldn’t keep track of who was who, outside of Shay and eventually, another character. I wish I could have just got sucked in for entertainment value alone, but the lack of emotions and nonchalant tone left me not caring. The plot relies too much on coincidences and twists. There are some interesting revelations, but by the time they were revealed I just didn’t care. As much as I liked Shay’s character,

I wanted to read this one as I quite liked the first two novels by this pairing, but was left a little disappointed by the ending in both. So was keen to see where my opinion would end with this third novel. Fair to say, I was more satisfied with the ending this time.

Two strands to this story.

Shay Miller is lonely and isolated. She has unrequited love for her roommate, but he's found himself a serious girlfriend. And Shay has no real other friends. At a subway station she witnesses a horrific suicide, and this shakes her world.

The other strand follows the Moore sisters. They have a core group of very close friends. One of those friends is the suicide victim Shay witnessed. As a result, the Moore sisters and Shay's world intersect. The Moore sisters embrace Shay, giving her the friendship she craves. But the reader learns all is not normal with the Moore sisters.

An engaging tale demonstrating that getting what you think you wanted may not be the best thing !

These are two authors I never miss and have read all their previous collaborations. This book however, was disappointing. If they were going for a dark, revenge type novel, while appealing to the “Big Little Lies” crowd this missed the mark? About 1/3 of the way through I had pretty much surmised the wrap up with only plot details to be filled in. While I will still be looking forward to their next book, this wasn’t the page turner I have come to expect. Thank you again for the opportunity to read an advanced copy.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC copy of "You are not alone" A page turner that draws you in from the first chapter on. The book alternates between multiple characters and their experiences in the past and the present and it all flows together,
Shay is one of those girls that want so much, but just can't seem to gain it. They are ordinary and in the middle and attention just doesn't flock their way no matter what they do. But one day a weird turn of events puts her in the shadow of two sisters who seem to have it all. As they work their way into her life., Shay is working her way into their's,, The storyline takes you down an unexpected road. This book keeps you hanging on the edge of your seat and balancing between worlds, as you try to decide who and what to believe.
If you are looking for a page turner and a thriller that leaves you shook, this is the one for you. I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by these two authors.

I loved both of Hendricks and Pekkanen's previous books, The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl, so I was thrilled to get an ALC of You Are Not Alone! These two are an amazing team and write books the you just cannot stop reading (or listening to!). You Are Not Alone is no exception. The book is fast paced right from the first chapter and the action snowballs right up until the very end.


Thrillers are hard to review because you don't want to give too much away, but I definitely recommend this book, especially if you loved the authors' previous books. I loved the characters in this book and the story kept me guessing the whole way through. You knew something just wasn't quite right and it was such a wild ride fitting all the pieces of the story together. Though I don't read a ton of thrillers, I do love a good psychological thriller. Anything this duo writes will automatically be on my to-read list!

I’ve loved Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen’s other books so I couldn’t wait to read this one. Luckily, You Are Not Alone was an amazing psychological thriller.

During the last half of the book, I didn’t want to stop listening at all. This story is just so beautifully crafted and unravels with such elegance. The authors give you just enough time for each piece to click into place before revealing the next. I was never sure who to trust/if I could trust my own assumptions about things and I loved it.

Given that, I would really recommend going into this one blind. (Which is why I’ve tried to keep my review as vague as possible). But, if you’ve loved their previous books or are looking for a great psychological thriller, I would highly recommend You Are Not Alone!

This thriller, set in NYC, has all the elements I look for in a thriller - a relatable protagonist , multiple points of view. We bounce from Shay's point of view to all her new friends, and a massive twist at the end, that I didn't see entirely coming!

When Shay, a struggling millennial who just lost her job, and is lonely in the big city, sees a woman commit suicide on the subway, little does she know how her friend set, her connections, her life and her world will change. A series of events causes her to make friends with the deceased friends and she thinks she's made it. But if a new job, a new apartment and a new social life sound too good to be true, it probably is.

If you're looking for a modern thriller to read with your girlfriends, look no further - this one delivers!
