Christopher Greyson

A Thrilling Suspense Novel

The Girl Who Lived

Ten years ago, four people were brutally murdered. One girl lived. No one believes her story. The police think she's crazy. Her therapist thinks she's suicidal. Everyone else thinks she's a dangerous drunk. They're all right-but did she see the killer? As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Faith Winters is released from the psychiatric hospital and yanked back to the last spot on earth she wants to be-her hometown where the slayings took place. Wracked by the lingering echoes of survivor's guilt, Faith spirals into a black hole of alcoholism and wanton self-destruction. Finding no solace at the bottom of a bottle, Faith decides to track down her sister's killer-and then discovers that she's the one being hunted. How can one woman uncover the truth when everyone's a suspect-including herself? From the mind of Wall Street Journal bestselling author Christopher Greyson comes a story with twists and turns that take the reader to the edge of madness. The Girl Who Lived should come with a warning label: Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop. Not since Girl on the Train and Gone Girl has a psychological thriller kept readers so addicted-and guessing right until the last page.

A special thank you goes out to Netgalley and Greyson Media, LLC for allowing me to read this early! All thoughts and opinions are my own! 

Now that this book is over, I can finally catch my breath and just relax. Because that book was a whirlwind of non stop action from start to finish with so much intensity. It had twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I didn't know who to trust. I felt like I was losing my mind, trying to figure out what was going to happen next or who the bad guy was. 

A special touch that I liked was that we got the POV of the killer for a few chapters. It was nice to see their thought process and their thoughts on what was going on. I wish it could have lasted longer but I'm glad with what I got. It added a more sinister element to this book. 

Faith was so wild and broken. She had some of the worst survivor's guilt I had ever seen. I felt nothing but pity for this poor thing. Everybody is against her and they just chalk her up to being crazy and a drunk. How she found the strength to figure out the truth of what happened that night her family was killed is beyond me. I probably would have given up if the entire town was essentially against me. 

Overall, this was an intense thriller! I couldn't figure out who was the bad guy was until I was told. Christopher Greyson made everybody look fishy and I couldn't trust anybody. It messed with my mind! But I really do highly suggest this book for anybody looking for that real intense thriller.

I gave this three stars not because it didn’t entertain me thoroughly, because believe me, it did. I gave it three stars because of the last quarter of this book. It was really doing the MOST. It had a lot going on that was honestly giving me whiplash. It got almost humorous at the end there with how many suspects there were. And how many times can the main character jump to conclusions and run away from everyone she has a conversation with. Also the last chapter and ending was just... something else.

This book was very interesting and thrilling at first. I liked that we had a stubborn character who defied all oddsto find the person who ruined her life. However,it turns out our main character is just destroying herself and blaming others for her poor decisions. I was all up for this murder mystery until we got two perspectives from the murderer and our main character kept making bad decisions.

At 66% I was definitely annoyed and bothered. Granted people do make poor decisions but I found it hard to believe that our character was that irrational. I felt that the author kept giving the character poor situations to make sure certain plot points happened. Rather than fun or thrilling it was very tiring. 

As much as I wanted to like this book I didn't. It made no sense to me how the main character could continuously lie when past history has shown that it only went poorly because of it. It was poor character writing and it was very messy. 

This book would have been better if it was character driven and not plot driven.
