WOW, just WOW! It’s rare that half way through a book I still don’t really know where it’s headed or who actually the bad guy is, I knew something was going on but I could not figure out what. I could not turn the pages fast enough to find out and loved every bit of it. Absolutely highly recommend. Go in blind, don’t read spoilers but do read it, This one is another winner for this author team. Thank you netgalley and publisher for this arc in exchange of an honest review.

Having enjoyed these authors previous two books, I was really looking forward to this one but it fell short for me.
The beginning caught me and sucked me in right away but then it started jumping around and I found myself having a hard time getting invested in the story.
There was a brief description for how each woman wound up in the group but I think i would have liked it more with a reduced number of women and expansion on each character a little more. While the sisters both came across as sinister, it was hard to find empathy for them and to basically feel anything more than apathy. I would have also liked more of the sisters - dialogue, planning, their back story. Although they talked about how and why, there was eluding to other men/women they had taken revenge on and I would have liked to read more in that. Along with their rise to such success.
The main character came across as overly naive and I had a hard time rooting for her. I spent a fair amount of time thinking “really”.
the twists were interesting and i didn’t see the third sister coming. it still felt just a little like we were rushing through to the end.

While reading this book I could associate with the Agatha Christie's writing one of the best books I've read this year. All the twists and turns and a few surprises in the book want you to read to the very end. Definitely will put this on list to give out as a gift to dear friends.

If you have read anything else by this writing duo, then you are in for a treat. In my opinion, this is the best yet. This is a psychological thriller that is told from different points of view so you are never quite certain who the most reliable narrator is. The main protagonist is Shay Miller, a young woman who lives and works in NYC and is in an unsatisfying temp job currently who winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. She witnesses a tragic death and has a difficult time dealing with the aftermath of her feelings about that. In the meantime, many of the other aspects of her life are changing and she is making some reckless decisions. Shay is then suddenly embraced into the world of friendship and caring from a group of friends that make her feel more at home in the city than she has to date. As strange things happen all around, the plot shifts and twists and turns occur to make for a compelling and eventful and even mostly believable story.
Highly recommended for the psychological thriller lovers out there.

Another great thriller from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Lots of twists and turns - I don't want to give anything way! If you liked their other two books, then you will definitely enjoy this one as well. Thanks to the publisher for the digital ARC.

I’ve read every book by the H&P duo, but this one is my favorite so far.

Put every CW show you’ve ever seen into a glass jar in your mind. Close the lid and shake it up. Those vicious vapors coming out of the top — that’s You Are Not Alone. I felt like this was a Gossip Girl version of a Criminal Minds episode, with a little bit of Samantha Jones mixed in. So much drama, undermining, toxic relationship building…. oh, it was spectacular.

I felt so many emotions while reading this book. Compassion for Shay, sorrow for Amanda, wanting to slap Sean….and many more. I sat glued to the couch from digital cover to cover, absorbing every moment.

Thank goodness the authors included an epilogue. I’m so glad they know how to do things right. Without that, I would not have been able to sleep tonight with all the questions swirling around in my mind!

You Are Not Alone is Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen at their very best. The story is creepy and filled with coincidences that aren't really.

The world of Shay Miller changes drastically when she meets Cassandra and Jane after witnessing something terrible that none of us ever want to experience.

The characters are so interesting and weird, but not - at least not at first. Before long you'll find yourself second guessing every little thing.

If you like thrillers - psychological or otherwise - this is the book for you. I was riveted and didn't want it to end, but I did want it to end so I knew what the ending would be.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and authors for approving my request for an ARC. All thoughts in this review are my own.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review. I am grateful to have been invited to view this ARC, as I have read the previous books. If you are a fan of Hendricks and Pekkanen, you will enjoy the thrilling new book that keeps you guessing. The Moore sisters are successful, beautiful and smart, cunning and sneaky. Shay is in a downturn in her life, temping and living with the guy friend who she crushes on, although he has a girlfriend. Then Shay witnesses a suicide in the subway, finds herself connected to the victim. As the book goes on, it's clear that Shay is trusting and naive, as she is being set up. The shocking conclusion was breath taking, but I still had some unanswered questions. It's obvious that guilty people try to set up others to escape punishment from their crimes, but it was simply convenient that Shay resembled the victim Amanda. When you're being manipulated, it is hard to know if on the surface someone is trying to help you. The book had me feeling a little paranoid. One of the character's connection to the rest in the group wasn't really explained. I like the revenge against men, but hurting an innocent woman seemed too far. However I still enjoyed the book and reccomend it to anyone who enjoys thrillers.

I really enjoyed this book. There were lots of twists and turns and it kept me guessing until the end. I loved that the main character was such a capable women and able to fight back when her situation became grim. I thoroughly recommend this thriller!

What a twisted story! It certainly kept me on the edge of my seat! It was fast paced and kept me guessing to the end! Definitely recommend! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the early copy

4.5 stars

Now that I have read all three books written by this duo of authors, I have to say they are at the top of my list of favorite writing teams. This was one of those good popcorn eating type reads in which you know the main character is probably in danger but you aren't entirely sure what is going to happen and it is pretty fun watching it all unfold.

Normally, I try to give a brief synopsis in my reviews but I really think you are best off not knowing too much ahead of time. Shay is the main character and you could say her life is a bit messy at the moment and it's about to get worse. You see she is about to meet the Moore sisters and well things are going to get crazy.

In order for the plot to really work in my opinion you do need a good lead character and Shay was an ideal pick to help drive the story. You feel for her and it's not difficult to understand why she just wants to fit in somewhere. The story alternates between Shay's perspective as well as some of the other characters including the sisters and I thought it was an effective way of storytelling.

The first half was slightly better than the second half and I think it is because there is more uncertainty about where the story is going. The authors have shown they can get pretty creative in their storytelling and it was exciting to read the earlier chapters in the book as it felt like the possibilities were endless. I'm not saying the action slows down in the second half, but I feel like that anticipation feeling you have as a reader was lessened just a tad. Overall though I had a real good time reading this one.

If you have read and enjoyed other books by the authors this one is a must-read.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an advance digital copy in exchange for an honest review!

This is a creepy little psychological thriller starring a lonely woman who witnesses a suicide on a subway platform and can't shake off the effects. The girl who jumped onto the tracks of the incoming train was a stranger to Shay, but she can't stop thinking about her; learning her name, she leaves a flower on her doorstep, and soon after, meets her closest friends. They're glamorous, affluent and well- connected, and Shay's previously solitary life as a data analyst begins to change when she's welcomed into their circle. So does her luck - facing eviction when her roommate's fiancee moves in, she finds the perfect apartment, and then gets a job that will pay for it. But it turns out there's a price to pay for all of it, and by the time she realizes she can't afford it, it's almost too late.

This is the third book I have read by this duo and I was so excited for the chance to read it early! Thank you netgalley! It was an excellent, twisty, mystery that I devoured in one afternoon. I can't say much in my review about this story without giving things away, but know that these two authors don't disappoint. They bring the same drama and fast pacing to this novel as their previous. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Five beautiful, well-crafted stars!

This is my third read from this exceptional duo and each time I feel like their books have gotten even more twisted and shocking- how are they so creative? I gobbled this story up trying to piece together what secrets this group of women held and what the ties were. What pushed one of them to Suicide and what will be left of Shay when they are done with her?

You Are Not Alone, is a must read for 2020!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for sending me an invitation to read an eARC of, You Are Not Alone. I was soooo excited when I opened my email while in my daughter’s school drop off lane. I cheered, did a seated dance, and looked pretty silly but I knew I was in for an amazing read....and Hendricks and Pekkanen did NOT disappoint!

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, published by St. Martinspress is a full length, strand alone novel told in a multiple pov.
Shay is a young woman who needs change in her life. She's single and living with roommates. She witnesses the suicide and can't get it out of her head. Understandable. Circumstances bring her and the Moore sisters together and that leads to a fast paced, nailbiting, unputdownable thriller who had me on the edge of my seat. The writing is excellent and I connected with the maincharacters easily.
You Are Not Alone is a book that stays with you. 4,5 Stars.

While I enjoyed reading this book it was a tad predicable and somewhat lacking in details that allowed me to really buy into the ending. It had a slow start but did pick up speed and all the characters were well developed. I enjoyed the storyline as dark and somewhat twisted as it was. I would probably read more from this duo. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced readers copy for review.

Fans of the authors’ other novels will likely enjoy this latest thriller; in You Are Not Alone, Shay Miller is lonely. No stable job, few friends, struggling in the big city. Something tragic happens right in front of her eyes, making her even more vulnerable. But then she meets Cassandra and Jane, and they see something in Shay. And Shay feels wanted, special, and enamored with her new friends. Of course, all that is too good to be true, or this wouldn’t be a thriller, right?

It’s best to go into the book not knowing any more than that. There are some good twists that kept me guessing until the end, and the devious, sinister characters were great - very reminiscent of Hendricks & Pekkanen’s An Anonymous Girl. There is something about their style of writing that I really enjoy. I’m not a huge fan of thrillers, and to be completely transparent I’ll say there’s nothing earth shattering or especially poignant about this story, but it was captivating and kept me turning the pages!

You Are Not Alone was the third novel I've read from the author duo, and it's my favorite so far. It was creepy and dark, but also suspenseful and captivating. Lonely Shay Miller witnesses a young woman commit suicide in the New York subway. Shay feels drawn to learn about the woman's life and soon finds herself within the woman's close-knit circle of friends. We follow Shay as she navigates the new group and their interesting friendships.

There were some surprising twists in the last quarter of the book which I enjoyed, however the end felt rushed and abrupt. I also found parts of it to be quite a stretch, but that's pretty typical with these types of thrillers. 

Thank you Netgalley and St Martin's Press for an advanced copy of this book.

That was tight! This book started slow but meticulous. I’m amazed at the author’s ability to maintain the details so well throughout the book. The build up and then things got tense and started to move as the reader starts to figure it out along with Shay. I felt all the feels where I was supposed to and it turned out to be a doozy of a plot. Kudos to the authors. A psychological thriller well executed.

Glad to have been selected to read an advanced copy.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy! The latest by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekannen is a unique and twisty mystery that is super fast paced. I finished it in a single quick sitting! My only note was that it did not feel fully fleshed out and was a little scant on details which made the coming together of the mystery seem a little slim. I did love the main character though and enjoyed her as much as I enjoyed the lead in their previous novel An Anonymous Girl.
