I didn't love No Exit but it was still a can't put down kind of book. I did not get that same feeling from Hairpin Bridge and found several inconsistencies and overall flaws with this story. There were a few key elements to the book that were completely implausible and I like my thrillers to have some reality to them. One character is also anti-Asian and while this says more to his character, this did not sit well with me and I cringed every time this character made a comment. Overall, felt like this was a flop of a book.

Thank you for my advanced copy.

Cambry was running for her life. A cop chasing after her. She saw what she shouldnt. Cambry died minutes later who they believe she killed herself at Hairpin Bridge. Cambry's twin sister, Lena, believes Cambry was murdered by the cop who chased after Cambry. Lena desperately wants to find out the truth.

Ok.. i honestly do not enjoy this book as much as i thought i would. I was excited when i saw so many good reviews. I am pleased to have this advance copy. But i find myself struggled to get thru. Theres too many unncessary details i feel. At some point i almost give up. I really really want to like it. The story concept is good but... i really feel bad that i didnt enjoy it.

Taylor Adams is back with another fast-paced thriller that will steal sleep away from you.

Lena isn't close with her twin sister, Cambry. In fact, they haven't spoken to each other in a very long time. But when Lena gets a cryptic message from her sister and finds out that she died falling from Hairpin Bridge, she is devastated. Lena doesn't believe it's suicide and she doesn't believe the sketchy Officer Raymond. Something isn't adding up and Lena is determined to find out what actually happened to her sister.

After reading his debut novel, No Exit, I became an immediate fan. Hairpin Bridge is another winner from Adams. I honestly don't know how he does it, but he does it so well. One thing I enjoy about Adams' novels is the female heroines that are at the centre of his novels. Another thing is the pacing of his novels. They're always strong such strong characters. Somehow, he manages to create thrillers that are always action-packed and intense. His writing style is also very easy to read and enjoy. It's the reason I read this novel in two sittings.

I loved the storyline of this novel. It was told in the present tense as Lena is searching for answers and in the past tense, from Cambry. I think there were times where the two storylines were a little confusing to me, but if you put those aside, the novel flows fairly well. I loved the backstory about Lena and Cambry's relationship, and I wish I got a little more of that. In the present, the novel takes place all in one night, which does make the story more rapid in terms of its pacing.

I really liked the plot twists in this one. They might be as easy to guess, but there's a few that were a little shocking. Overall, it's another solid thriller from Adams. If you're looking for a fast and action-packed thriller, this one checks every single box.

Thank you to HarperCollins and William Morrow Books for providing me with an advanced copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

I liked this book and found it entertaining, but I didn't love it in the same way that I loved No Exit. I didn't like either of the main characters in Hairpin Bridge. Both Lena and Cambry made decisions the same way that dumb teenagers in horror movies do, as opposed to ones made by functioning adults. I didn't think the flashbacks added anything to the story, as Lena told the reader throughout the book that she and her twin weren't really that close.
Overall, this was a quick read and something that could be enjoyed during a long airplane ride, and I would recommend it as such.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for the ARC!

Thank you to the publisher of the book for an e-galley. I loved No Exit by Taylor Adams so was really excited to read this early. I was a bit disappointed because I didn’t like it nearly as much. I need a character to like and I didn’t like any of these characters. I didn’t find the story disturbing as I’ve seen people commenting online. It was a fast read and kept me entertained which is why I gave it 3 stars.

Holy cats what a wild ride this was. I think this is even better than No Exit. I read it in one sitting.

Lena Nguyen knows her twin sister did not commit suicide. She is determined to find out what really happened on that bridge on June 6 (which coincidentally is the day I read this book). She meets with Corporal Raymond Raycevic, the last person to see her sister alive and the one to discover her body, to find out what really happened. Unfortunately, despite telling herself she is prepared for anything, Lena uncovers a lot more than she bargained for.

There are a lot of twists and turns on the Hairpin Bridge, literally and figuratively in this case. The author throws out a lot of red herrings and just when you think you have it all figured out, something else comes out of the woodwork. This had the possibility of feeling very disjointed but it was nothing of the kind. The plot is woven seamlessly with misdirections and multiple questions. I do feel the ending was a bit formulaic for this author if you have read No Exit. Regardless, this was an enjoyable, edge of my seat thriller. Taylor Adams has a true flare for suspense. I look forward to his next book.

I know I'm not alone when I say, I've read and loved No Exit and was so excited to read Hairpin Bridge! This book is about Lena who cannot wrap her head around her sister committing suicide three months ago. The police believe that Cambry drove to a remote bridge and jumped off. There is enough evidence to prove that this was a suicide and nothing more. Lena cannot believe this, some things just don't add up. So she decides to drive up to this bridge and meet the last person who seen her sister alive. Sounds smart right?🙄

This is probably one of the most suspenseful books that I have read in awhile. Everytime I thought I had the story figured out, we were hit with another twist. I honestly just didn't know who to believe. The storyline altered between two timelines; Cambrys story and Lena's. I'm not sure what timeline I rathered but I thoroughly enjoyed Lenas timeline with her blog posts. If we're being totally honest, once I finished the story I'm still not 100% sure what the whole truth was. I think my only real complaint is I wasn't 100% obsessed with the ending as much as I hoped to be

A thrilling, fast paced, suspenseful story with a ridiculous amount of twists and turns with a few HOLY CRAP moments thrown in! Make sure you set aside some time for this one because you won't want to put it down. Just when you think you've figured out what happened, the story turns on its head once again.

But with that being said, I found myself confused when I first started it, to the point where I reread the first few chapters 3 different times to try to make sense of it. There were so many twists that when I finished I felt a little confused on what actually happened to Cambry. Maybe it's me. But it was still my favorite book of 2021 so far.

Oh my word, Taylor Adams does it again! This book had my adrenaline running, my heart was racing and I could not stop thinking about it while I wasn't reading it

Hairpin Bridge is about Lena, whose twin Cambry recently died by suicide. Lena doesn't think this is true, there is no way Cambry would do that and she sets out to prove her sister was murdered. She ends up on Hairpin Bridge, the placed her sister died, with the cop who found her body.

The entire story (except for some flashbacks) takes place in such a short period of time, on this bridge. I don't know how Taylor Adams cane write such an exhilarating, and thrilling story that takes place over less than 24 hours but that is definitely Adams' forte.

4.5 rounded up to 5 stars for this bone chilling ending. Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for a digital ARC of Hairpin Bridge. All opinions in this review are my own.

Hairpin Bridge
Taylor Adams
Publishes June 15, 2021

This thriller plays out over 3 Hours, 19 minutes on the mysterious Hairpin Bridge in Montana, known as a suicide spot on June 6 (TODAY). Grieving twin, Lena, sets out to right the wrong on her sisters death and ominous last message:

“Please forgive me. I couldn’t live with it. Hopefully you can, Officer Raycevic”

This page-turner is told from various points-of-views - Cambry’s moments before her death, Lena’s imagining of how her sister died and Officer Raycevic. The reader will ride along as a passenger in the chase, feel there heart race quicken and jump at the action on the rickety closed bridge.

Find out who is being deceitful, who’s telling the truth and who will survive?

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for the complimentary copy of Hairpin Bridge by Taylor Adams.

While I wanted to really love this one, I’m so sad to say I didn’t. This was such a highly anticipated one for me since No Exit was a 10/10 for me. I found a lot of this story to be unrealistic (I mean who goes to confront a killer alone?) I did, however, enjoy the fast pace of this book. Adams does such a good job keeping the pace going and leaving his readers on their toes. I also did like the two POV’s throughout this story, as we got a good look into Cambry’s last night alive. However, with Lena’s blog posts, Cambry’s story and Lena’s notes to Cam, it kind of got me mixed up and sometimes I wasn’t sure what I was reading. I’d like to give a huge thank you to @Netgalley for my ARC of this book and overall I would give this book a 2/5 for me.

This was a page turner and things happened fast (just how I like!). The different POVs kept you guessing on what the truth actually was. What did happen on that bridge that night? I loved how the author was able to tell a complete and full story with only a handful of characters. There were parts of the book that I didn’t really think were necessary. They seemed a little bizarre and I felt like the were added in for the sake of ‘thrill’ when really, without them, the story would have flowed a little bit better. I also got a little confused at some points between the multiple storylines, but overall it wasn’t too hard to follow.

I really should not have had 4 espresso shots before reading this book because my heart was RACING. Taylor Adams really knows how to write a thriller that keeps you literally on the edge of your seat. (Yes literally, I was almost falling off my couch at one point). I should mention TWs for loss of a loved one, suicide, murder, blood/gore and all of that nasty stuff. Basically, just know that Adams doesn't skimp out on the details. I'm going to try to keep this review short and to the point because I don't want to give too much away seeing as the synopsis of this book, in my opinion, already gives too much to the reader and I recommend going into this book as blind as possible.

This book starts out as Lena is meeting Corporal Raymond Raycevic, the officer who pulled over Lena's estranged twin sister, Cambry, just an hour before she was found (also by Raycevic) at the bottom of a valley from an apparent suicide at the Hairpin Bridge. From there, we follow along as Lena tries to piece together her many suspicions regarding her sister's death in forms of her inner dialogue as well as written posts from her blog, Lights and Sounds, and the book that she is writing about/for Cambry.


I can already tell that Hairpin Bridge is going to be one of those thrillers that I won't be able to stop thinking about or recommending. Taylor Adams has officially became one of my auto-read authors!


Hairpin Bridge releases in the US on June 15th 2021. Big thank you to William Morrow, Joffe Books and NetGalley for this advance copy. All opinions are my own.

I have always been a fan of McAdams’s writing. After reading No Exit in a day, I was very excited to read Hairpin Bridge. This was another quick and exciting read! He always keeps you guessing and I enjoyed the inner monologue of the main character and her attempt to undercover what really happened to her twin sister that day.

Well! That was um…interesting. I had high hopes for this book because I saw so many great reviews but I think this wasn’t for me.

Multiple times I found myself zoning out during the neverending road scenes because they just felt redundant and if I’m being honest, a bit boring. There were definitely some tense moments in the beginning but it just went on too long for me. I also thought the plot itself was so far fetched that I kind of rolled my eyes, like, a lot. I found it kind of confusing at parts too, which might have been the point but I’m not big on being confused when reading, I’m all about logical. Overall, I thought it could have been wrapped up waaaaay sooner and maybe it would have been a better read as a novella.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book, I'm still going to read No Exit as I've only heard amazing things.

I was really looking forward to reading this book, I loved the author's previous book, 'No Exit', but I was a little disappointed in this read.

The story follows Lena, whose twin allegedly committed suicide at Hairpin Bridge, Lena and her family are tormented by Cambry's death and after a strange 'suicide note' in the form of a text message to Lena, which mentions the Patrol Officer who discovered Cambry's body, Lena decides to investigate whether Cambry committed suicide or whether she was in fact, murdered.

The book follows Lena on her quest to find the truth which starts with a meeting with the Patrol Officer in question and from there turns into a gruesome fight to survive and uncover the truth about her sister's death.

The premise of the story interested me, which helped to keep going, however, I did find it a chore to finish the book due to the lengthy fight and survival scenes and dialogue. The story also provided some flash backs of Cambry, the dead twin, throughout the book but I found them confusing and struggled to place them in the story arc. I also love an expected turn in a story, something I didn't see coming, but the twist at the end of this story didn't make sense to me, perhaps that's the intention...

This disappointment would not put me off from reading Taylor Adams again as I really enjoyed 'No Exit' but would warn fans, that this story may be a struggle.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hairpin Bridge - Taylor Adams (June 15)

Thank you @netgalley & @harpercollinsca for the gifted copy in exchange of an honest review.

Hairpin Bridges follows Lena after the death of her twin sister Cambry. Cambry’s death was ruled a suicide, but Lena is fairly certain her sister wouldn’t have jumped off Hairpin Bridge on her own. Determine to get to the real cause of her death, Lena travels to Hairpin Bridge herself. Raymond Raycevic was the officer who found Cambry’s body and agreed to meet with Lena. However once they’ve met, Lena realizes she may not be able to trust anything Ray has to say..

🌉🌉🌉

Wowow Taylor Adams has done it again and written a thriller that I just couldn’t put down! I loved the setting, the plot and twists were all very unique, and while we were out in the wilderness it still gave me locked room thriller vibes.

My only complaint is I feel like the ending could have lasted a little longer and we could have gotten more tidbit hints to the twist earlier on. Seriously a fantastic thriller though 👏🏻 Adams has confirmed that her will be a forever auto read for me!


🌉🌉🌉

This is one of my most anticipated thrillers of the year and I am so freaking excited to go out and buy a physical copy of this book!

Hairpin Bridge was an addicting thriller from the very first chapter! Taylor Adams sure knows how to write a fabulous thriller that keeps you at the edge of your seat until the very end!

The book centers around Lena, an identical twin. It is suspected her twin, Camry, died by suicide on Hairpin Bridge three weeks ago. Lena does not believe this is what occurred, so she visits the town of the incident to address the cop whose name was mentioned in the text Lena receives from her sister on the night of her death. What happens next is where the roller coaster ride begins!

This book will keep you thinking about it long after you have finished reading it! This is the best thriller I have read in quite some time.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions mentioned above are my own

Lena is determined to find out if her twin sister Cambry really jumped 200 feet to her death on a a bridge in the middle of nowhere Montana. She meets up with the police officer who pulled Cambry over just before her alleged suicide. Armed with a recorder Lena is determined to find out the truth. What Lena gets turns out to be way more than she bargained for but is still determined even if it costs Lena her life.
This is the second book by Taylor Adams that I have read and it was certainly a little better than the first one. I will giver Hairpin Bridge this, I finished the novel quickly because I had to know what happened. Other than the novel keeping my attention, I did not enjoy this novel. It was hard to figure out what was true and what wasn't. Lena was so determined to get justice for Cambry only to find out that her sister did not care about Lena at all. That really disappointed me.
Decent book, just not my favorite.
Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Joffe Books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Ugh, I’m so disappointed to say that this book was a letdown for me. I’m typically a pretty quick reader but this book took me two weeks just to get to the halfway mark. I didn’t look forward to picking it up which is never a good sign.

The narrative is told in multiple viewpoints which made the plot feel too disjointed. Additionally, the storyline was just so unbelievable and the dialogue didn’t flow easily. I know this is an unpopular opinion but my recommendation is to skip this one.
