You are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen was a grippy, fast-paced read.  I have been on a thriller streak lately and looking for plotlines that hold a tense atmosphere – this book did the trick.  

 

I would recommend going into this knowing as little as possible.  The story centers on a woman, Shay, who is befriended by two sisters who have the life Shay desires.  They become quick friends and it’s easy for Shay to say “yes” to their advice and help.  When things begin to seem a little off and Shay starts to pay closer attention, the suspense takes off. 

 

I listened on audio and would recommend that format.  The twists were not impossible to see coming, but they weren’t crystal clear either and I had fun trying to piece it all together.
