This is the third book by the team of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen and it might just be one of my favorites. Shay lives an unsatisfying life, wanting friends and to be included, and that begins with her friendship with the Moore sisters, Jane and Cassandra. She's the perfect, pliable character for the Moore sisters' ultimate purpose. It starts off like you have a peek into the popular girls club as the sisters are beautiful and stylish and welcome Shay into their midst. But you know a curve ball is coming! I love this duo's style of writing and I will continue to add their latest books to my TBR.

I couldn't put this book down. The author grabs your attention right from the beginning and keeps it throughout the whole story. Brings modern day issues to life and its filled with suspense!

This is the third novel I have read by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. It started off a bit choppy as all the players were introduced but I ended up not being able to put it down. I like Shay and felt for her quite a bit. This is as good as their first novel, without a doubt. I didn’t love the second so I was apprehensive going into the third. The ah ha I felt was so so satisfying!!

Interesting story of someone who is looking for friendship and meaningful relationships. I just couldn't get into the book for some reason. I'm sure it will be a best seller.

Another hit from this fantastic writing team! I was so excited to receive this as an advance digital copy from Net Galley, and I was not disappointed. I had a very hard time putting this book down and gave up sleep to finish it when I got close to the end. This novel definitely hooked me right from the beginning and unlike other titles in this same genre, I didn't see any of the twists coming. way before.

I highly recommend this book if you have enjoyed The Wife Between us and/or An Anonymous Girl. I really don't want to say too much about the novel because it's hard to describe it without major spoilers. Just know it will be good and would make a fantastic, binge worthy Netflix series. Enjoy!

Wow! I had such a great time reading You are not alone. This book was fantastic. I thought I had everything figured out, but my jar actually dropped at the plot twist. So so good!!

This book should have been titled the Evil Sisters' Vigilante Justice League. It starts out with a woman who commits suicide by jumping in front of a NYC subway train, witnessed by another woman. The witness becomes obsessed with the victim and starts to surround herself with the victim's circle of friends, two of who turn out to be sisters of dubious repute but seem at first as high-powered and glamorous. The thirty-something characters multiple and things turn nasty. The novel is well drawn and there are some hints that all is not innocent with the sisters, as we learn more about their activities and how they are connected with the victim and witness. I really liked the way the novel was structured, the sharply drawn characters, and the situations that seem very realistic. I highly recommend this book.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. As I was starting this book, there were several times I asked myself, where is this book going? This is a good psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. If you have read other books by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen and enjoyed them then you will enjoy this book also. The main character, Shay, is very vulnerable when the story starts, a perfect time for new friends. And these friends offer Shay a lot of help, some that she knew she needed and some she didn't. Shay is also obsessed with data and statistics, and keeps a "Data Book.". Each chapter that focuses on Shay gives you some data/statistics about what is going on in that chapter. For example, "The average woman spends about $313 per month on her appearance--and about a quarter of a million dollars over her lifetime--according to a study funded by Groupon. Women are most likely to splurge on facials, followed by haircuts, then manicure and pedicures. Another study, this one conducted by Clairol, found that about three-quarters of women dye their hair. And 88% of women say their hair has an effect on their confidence.--Data Book, page 41." While this was not a book that I couldn't wait to get back to, it did keep my interest. If you like psychological thrillers, definitely worth the read.

Shay Miller lives in NYC. She’s single, recently laid off, and really lonely.

One day she witnesses a woman jump to her death in front of a speeding subway. Shay is traumatized by this event. She becomes obsessed with this woman. What was so bad to make her want to commit suicide?

Shay does some digging, and even attends the woman’s memorial service. There she meets Cassandra and Jane, friends of the deceased. They form an instant connection, and Shay begins to feel connected via friendship, something she hasn’t felt in a long time.

But the connection comes with ulterior motives. Was it just a coincidence that Shay witnessed this suicide? Was this woman’s suicide provoked? The longer this new friendship continues, the more Shay begins to add up strange things that happen.

This read pleasantly surprised me because I didn’t love An Anonymous Girl. In some ways Shay was likable, in that she desperately wanted these new female friends to like her. I’ve felt that way about certain connections with friends - that you hope they like you just as much. (I hope that doesn’t make me seem weird!).

But she also drove me a little crazy…girl, how did you not sense these girls were up to no good?!

It’s a fast paced read with short chapters and an ending I DID NOT see coming! Wow!

You Are Not Alone is on sale March 3.

Shay Miller is not having a good day. She's been laid off, her roommate (whom she secretly adores) has a new girlfriend, and on her way to a promising interview she is the only witness to a tragedy at the subway station. More invested than she'll even admit to herself, Shay tries to find out more about the victim from the subway. Her search lands her at a memorial where she meets and is befriended by two sisters, Cassandra and Jane. They are beautiful, stylish and everything Shay wishes she could be. But are they what they seem, and why do they need her friendship so desperately?

VERDICT: The duo, Henricks and Pekkanen ( "The Wife Between Us"), bat another one out of the park with this unputdownable thrill ride. Highly recommended!

My third book by these two authors and they once again have come up with a unique and crazy plot!
The suspense is slow to build in this one but when it hits the high point it stays there till the end.
I really enjoyed traveling the streets of my favorite city while reading this gripping tale!

In Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen's third mystery debut, Shay Miller is the protagonist who has been longing for someone to fill the void of loneliness in her own life. Her career has stagnated and her roommate has started dating someone else, leaving Shay feeling alone. After Shay witnesses a horrific accident, her mental state is at a dangerous low.

Cue the beautiful Moore sisters who gently and convincingly take Shay under their wings. Shay cannot believe her good fortune in meeting these sisters who have gone out of their way to help her put the pieces of her life back together and find meaning. But Shay starts to question some coincidences that just seem too perfect to exist. Once Shay begins to follow her gut, she starts to see that the sisters may not be the open book they portray.

The story kept me reading because of its readability, not because I couldn't put it down. It read as predictable and cliched. I called the ending, and I just felt there wasn't enough of an intrigue to keep me from setting it down. I normally finish a mystery in a few days--tops--and this took me about 5 days, which is solely because I found other things to do or just set my book down earlier than I normally would.

This is my first book by these authors, so I have nothing to compare this one to, but I felt like the others were pretty hyped up, so my let down may have been my own doing. I still recommend as a readable mystery. It did get me thinking about how easy it would be to be fooled, so for that intrigue alone, I added another star.

Shay’s life isn’t going the way she’d hoped. After getting fired, she witnesses a woman’s death. A woman who looks a whole lot like her. Unable to stop thinking of Amanda and suffering from post-traumatic stress, Shay gets pulled into Amanda’s world, including interacting with the dead woman’s friends. The further she gets involved, the faster the lies start piling up and her actions start looking more and more suspicious to the police detective assigned to the case.

I love the world the authors create with each of their psychological thrillers. Shay is a fantastic character. She has heart even while everything in her life has gone sideways, and tries to keep a cautiously optimistic attitude. Her fascination with data gives her the motivation to make some moves that would be over the top for other characters, but Shay’s logic and desire for friends and a partner are nicely shown. She’s super likable, but the walls she puts up around herself make her lack of relationships understandable. She’s deep inside her own world of data and physical activity, the kind of person who doesn’t feel self conscious dinning alone, because that’s her norm. Yet, the desire for those close connections drive many for her actions, which is very relatable.

Creating these types of twisty thrillers isn’t easy. The authors can’t be too heavy handed with the way they weave in clues and red herrings, while withholding other information. Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen make it look easy by striking the right balance. When this book came available on NetGalley, I requested the book without reading the blurb. Having read their other books, I was sold on their ability to tell a great story with the perfect cast of characters, and once again, I wasn’t disappointed.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to the NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing an Advance Reader Copy.

Shay is struggling at life. She is attracted to her roommate, but he is in a relationship with someone else, someone who does not like her and wants her to move out. On her way to her temp job one day, she witnesses a women throw herself in front of a subway train and die. Shay is deeply affected and wants to learn more about this woman, Amanda. She attends Amanda's memorial service and meets some of her friends. Amanda's friends seem so nice that Shay wants to join their circle. But then things begin to take a strange turn.

Hendricks and Pekkanen have produced another thrilling book. Each chapter is a new twist that slowly unravel the story. Shay witnesses a horrifying event and struggles to return to a normal life. She sees Amanda and thinks about her, wondering what led her to suicide. Shay loves data and each chapter begins with a tidbit statistic. I found these very interesting and enjoyed how they tied into the story. The book is a little confusing at the beginning as you try to figure out the relationships but the characters are feeling the exact same way.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the author's previous novels or anyone looking for a great suspense story.

I'm a big fan of this writing duo and while I wasn't as impressed with this offering as the former, I still enjoyed it thoroughly and flew through it in a single weekend. Definitely one to pick up and would make the perfect beach read.

This novel flows beautifully and keeps you on your toes. I enjoy reading anything by these authors.
I received an advance copy for review. All opinions are my own.

While I enjoyed the previous two collaborations between Pekkanen and Hendricks, this one is the best offering from the duo to date! A swiftly moving plot combined with fascinating characters makes You Are Not Alone unputdownable!!

Thanks go to NetGalley and St. Martins Press for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Like Gwen Paltrow's character in the movie Sliding Doors, Shay Miller sees her life change after she stops to tie up her hair en route to the Manhattan subway station and misses her train by seconds. While waiting for the next one, she witnesses the suicide of a young woman named Amanda Evinger.
Shay's life is at a low point. She's lost her job, and she's been working temporary assignments while trying to find more permanent employment. Her best friend got married, moved to Brooklyn, and had a baby. She has an unrequited crush on her male roommate, but he's found a serious girlfriend and the handwriting is on the wall that three's a crowd.
The guilt at witnessing Amanda's suicide, and not being able to stop it, eats away at Shay. She attends Amanda's memorial service and meets Amanda's friends. She researches Amanda's life. After a nudge from Amanda's friends, she ends up renting Amanda's old apartment. At their encouragement, she gets a makeover. And looks a lot like Amanda.
Little does Shay know, Amanda's friends have a motive for pulling her into their circle. A motive far more sinister than shared grief and friendship. Shay has to use all her skills and ingenuity to stay alive and ensure that justice is done.
This was a compelling read, a real page turner. Highly recommended!

You Are Not Alone is the third highly anticipated standalone novel from author duo Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, and I absolutely devoured it!

Shay Miller has never been more unhappy.

✓ Working as a data analyst at a temp. job, she hates her work.
✓ Every day, she becomes more isolated, choosing to stay in rather than make friends.
✓ Secretly infatuated with her roommate Sean (but he's happily dating someone else), she can't seem to find love.
✓ When Sean informs Shay that his girlfriend Jody is going to move in, she suddenly finds herself homeless.

Jobless, friendless, loveless, homeless, and now she's a witness to a brutal suicide? Shay just can't catch a break. Until she meets the alluring and successful Moore sisters, Cassandra and Jane, who take Shay under their wing, showering her with gifts, praise, friendship, love... The sisters seem to have resources to alleviate all of Shay's problems, and suddenly, Shay is happy. Forever seen as the smart chick, she now feels confident and sexy. She feels welcomed and loved, realizing all she ever wanted was to belong.

Unfortunately, the Moore sisters aren't Shay's saving grace, and soon, Shay finds herself tangled in a web of lies and deceit. Piece by piece, Shay must sift through the threads, freeing herself from one disturbingly sinister plot. Along the way, Shay learns very important lessons, the toughest one being: no one betrays the Moore sisters.

I am an avid reader of this author duo, having become a fan after their stellar debut novel, The Wife Between Us. With each book, I know I will encounter a well-crafted story that's smartly written with strong writing, vivid characters, and expertly placed clues which lead to a final, grand twist. They have yet to disappoint. I absolutely recommend this book if you enjoy suspense novels.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest, unbiased review.
