You Are Not Alone

I listened to this book as I was falling asleep and already we have questions that need to be answered. One of our characters named Shay witnessed something horrible. A woman threw herself on the subway tracks as the subway was coming right in front of her. Shay is shocked by the whole thing which is understandable. She just watched someone die right in front of her. The next characters we are introduced to are Jane and Cassandra. All we know about these two women is that they are sisters. They new the woman that died and are trying to figure out if the woman told anyone about them. They are the biggest mystery in this book so far. We also get the point of view of the woman who died. Her name is Amanda and she doesn't shed much light on the mystery in this book. So I am just reading to figure out who the two sisters are and how they are related to Amanda. They hinted that they were friends but also hinted that she was part of something they were working on. But we don't know what. I'm interested to find out more.

This book wasn't really suspenseful until you get to part three where the main character Shay is trying to figure out why Jane and Cassandra were trying to frame her for a murder. She is trying everything she can to survive and avoid these two sisters. There is a small twist at the end but it isn't life changing. But eventually everything works out in the end. Well, sort of. You do have to go through Shay's struggles after she learns that everything she knew was a complete lie when it comes to the sisters. It was all part of the sisters' plan so they could frame her for something they had a part in. I think these books just fascinate me because the authors do a good job giving you that false sense of security and then throw you in a world where nothing is what it appears to be. I'm sure I would have enjoyed this book more if I was still in this phase but I'm not. To me it was a little boring until the end. The book got three stars. I still enjoyed it but not enough to want to keep reading. Even though I was listening to the book whenever I had the chance. I do plan on reading more books by these authors but it will be after a small break in a different genre. The book is highly recommended to those that love the slow build up in suspense. The false sense of security before everything falls apart in an instant.
