I loved No Exit, so when I had the opportunity to read this early, I jumped!
This book had me hooked from the start. I stayed up way too late reading. I was eagerly flipping through the pages anticipating what would happen next.

Two twins ; one dead of an apparent suicide and one believing that there is more to the story. Lena ( who is an absolute badass!) sets out to Montana to meet with the cop who pulled her sister, Cambry over, an hour before her death.

She knows she may not make it back alive, and needed everyone who follows her blog to know the truth, no matter what.

Even though the ending wasn’t my favorite, it was still a thrilling ride and I’m really happy that I read this.

TW ; suicide, rape, child death.

I loved the fast pace of Hairpin Bridge and all of the twists and turns. Such a nail biting read! It's my first time reading anything by Taylor Adams and it certainty won't be my last time! Such a great read!

Adams is a master of the small setting thriller. This entire story (mostly) takes place at one bridge, but don't worry, you won't bore of the setting because you'll be spending your time reading as fast as you can to find out what the heck happened to her sister! Adams leaves you guessing and then surprises you at the end!

Wow this book is super intense. I liked how it went straight into the story. We got 2 perspectives maybe 3 actually. I think all of them did what needed to be done to tell the story. Once we got action which wasn’t very long into the book it didn’t stop. Like the last have was just action action action. I think Lena is a pretty naive and in someways not very smart in her decsions but i still loved how she really cared about what happened to her sister. I kind of guessed the ending but i loved this book so much that i didn’t even care that i did. Really love this author and can’t wait to read more from them!

Wow this was intense.⁣

I may or may not have chewed all of my nails down while reading this. 🤣⁣

Taylor Adams has this way of writing that grips you from page one, takes you on this anxiety ridden, suspenseful ride and just delivers. You literally feel like you are at the scene of the crime and hiding hoping the killers won’t spot you too or it’ll be gruesome.⁣
⁣
This was told in such a different way, with mini cliffhangers during some chapters. We get Cambry’s story told by how Lena imagines it, Lena’s blogs and Lena’s story. We even get the officers thoughts from time to time. You aren’t sure which story is true. Lena just wants to know what happened to her twin, and she’ll do anything to figure it out.⁣

Thank you for an ARC for my honest review. Pub 6/15⁣

I cannot tell you how excited I was to get an early copy of this book to review. I love this author she really delivered with this latest novel. I thought the characters were amazing and so well-developed... I'm still thinking about them a week later!

I just did not like this book 🙈 i tried. I really wanted to. But i just could not get into it. I was expecting it to be something completely different than it was. But half of it is a car chase. And i couldn’t wait for that to end. I was mainly just bored. I started skimming. Then just over halfway through.. a snake. It just made no sense. I’m like wtf is even happening?
It was just bizarre. I felt confused through half of it. I ended up skipping to the end because i wanted to know what happened. Which made the first half make sense. But i was annoyed that it was so confusing. And boring. The end was decent i suppose. But i didn’t care to go back and read the bit i skipped. 🤭

I read no exit and while it was a bit dark for me, it was fast paced and kept me turning the pages. I felt like this was similar in that it was one night or rather two nights back and forth & a bad guy and a heroine. I would like to see something a little different from the author. To maybe branch out a bit. I think if it had just made more sense on why Cambry was running in the first place, which i get would have spoiled the ending, but it was just confusing on why she was so convinced he was a murderer. Why she was running, that it seemed so implausible and made half the book just hard to follow.

Being a fan of Taylor Adams' No Exit I was very excited to read Hairpin Bridge.

I initially got that same nail biting, edge of my seat thrill from the premise and quick beginning to the book, but I felt the action kind of begin to drag on throughout the book. At times it felt a little long, not quite repetitive, but for all of the events to take place during such a short amount of time it was almost as if there were TOO many twists and turns. It all began to feel a little far fetched. (Also I still don't understand the snake?)
Additionally, the chapters written in Lena's blog mixed in with Cambry's side of the story felt a little disjointed overall and I never felt fully connected to the characters. Everything was descriptive, and not a lot of action when it comes to the personality traits (but it terms of the actual action - this is similar to No Exit, there is a lot of gore)

What I did like though is it kept me wanting to read more. I needed to find out what happened, I just didn't love it all by the end unfortunately.

I think this will be one of the books that is widely separated across the book community. Many people will love the quick thrill of it, and others will find themselves a little let down by the end and I'm swaying towards the latter in this sense.

Full review to come post-editing.

A super compelling read! I preferred Adams' No Exit, personally, but this was a wild ride from start to finish! It takes place over the course of just hours (with flashback scenes to the past). I absolutely recommend this for getting out of reading slumps, or just enjoyed a fun, wild, quick read this summer!

This is my second read from Taylor Adams and much like the first one, I really enjoyed the fast-paced, exciting plot and tough female protagonist. I didn't connect as much with the characters in this one and while I didn't mind the lead character's blog posts throughout, I did find her excerpts of writing as her sister a bit disjointed and distracting. That being said, I loved how the plot occured over a relatively short time period and there were lots of little twists to keep the reader hooked.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy to review. All opinions are my own.

Just like No Exit, this book delivers with twists right from the start. Taylor Adams truly knows how to build suspense and weave it through the story. Kept me totally hooked!

Lena’s twin sister Cambry died three months ago from an alleged suicide on Hairpin Bridge in Montana. Canbry has been distant lately, traveling around the country in her Toyota. But Lena doesn’t think she committed suicide. There was 16 attempted calls to 911 and a mysterious last text to her naming the cop that found her body. So Lena hits the road in her sister’s car, with a gun and a tape recorder and is determined to get the truth out of the officer Corporal Raymond Raycevic, one way or another. It soon turns into a game of cat and mouse on Bridge where her sister died and who lives and dies and what shocking secrets are revealed is what drives the novel.

This book was amazing and I highly recommend reading it ASAP!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book!

Thank you so much William Morrow publishing and Netgalley for providing me with this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review! This book is out June 15th and any thriller lovers out there won’t want to miss it!

This is my first Taylor Adams book and it did not disappoint! I’m excited to read all of his books now! Especially No Exit, which I hope to get to this month!

Lena’s sister, Cambry, drives to a remote bridge in Montana one day and jumps to her death, leaving behind a very vague suicide note. Lena doesn’t believe this whatsoever and suspects murder. What truly happened that day? She owes it to her sister to find out.

This story was definitely confusing at first as you have to get a hang of the writing style. Constantly switching POV’s and alternating between past and present, as well as including journal entries/blog posts. But the author switches from bold font , to normal font, to italicized font which makes it easy to grasp after a few chapters!

This was packed with twists, suspense, mystery and gory details. The last 25% of the book I could not put down. My adrenaline was going and my heart was definitely pumping! Definitely recommend for any thriller / horror lovers out there!

June sixth. The day Cambry allegedly commits suicide. Her twin sister Lena strongly believes “based on their cellular level bond” that her sister would NEVER kill herself. Now she just has to prove it.

We are taken to the scene of her death, an eerie, desolate back road known as Hairpin Bridge, as Lena investigates what really happened on that night. She’s found some discrepancies in the police reports and she won’t rest until she uncovers the truth about how her twin sister REALLY died. She schedules a meeting with Ray Raycevic, the police officer that found her sister’s body because she wants to hear all the details from him. Only Lena knows more about him and that night then he’s revealing. She’s on a mission for vengeance.

We also get a glimpse into Cambry’s last night alive; she give us her account of the fateful events that led to her death on that dreadful night of June sixth. I LOVED this part of it so much! We are taken through the heart pounding stand-off between Cambry and officer Ray. And just when you thought it was getting GOOD, it’s gets even BETTER (well, not for Cambry 😬 but as the reader, I was HOOKED)!

It’s adrenaline pumping and action packed from the start. The twists start as early as CHAPTER 2 so I was gripped, reading for hours past my bedtime. The writing was so descriptive that I felt I was there. It’s atmospheric and so cleverly detailed. The twists keep on coming but then become a little more predictable nearing the end.

If you loved No Exit (also by Taylor Adams) you’ll LOVE this fast-paced thriller too! 4.5 ⭐️

⚠️: This novel is graphic and gore-filled so if your squeamish, you’ve been warned!

Thank you @netgalley @williammorrowbooks for this arc!

I was a huge fan of No Exit, so when I heard Taylor Adams was releasing a new book I knew I had to check it out. Luckily for me, NetGalley has this book available to read now. Once I picked it up, it was hard to stop. Adams knows how to hook you with the suspense. All the twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. If you are looking for a fast-paced, can’t-put-downable thriller, this book is for you.

Hairpin Bridge was deemed to be haunted and was also referred to as The Suicide Bridge. It’s the bridge that Lena’s twin sister, Cambry supposedly committed suicide off of. Lena isn’t convinced her sister could do such a thing, so she drives to meet with the state patrolman who found Cambry deceased. Lena has many questions....however the more answers she gets, the more she believes that something isn’t right with the patrolman’s story and is convinced he is responsible for her death.

This is a much anticipated read given the likeness of No Exit by Taylor Adams. Let me start by saying I thought this book was incredibly difficult to follow. I actually started out liking the book but then things fell flat. It’s told from different POVs and different time periods so to put the book down and then pick it back up, I had to try and discern where I left off with whom and where. I do have to say that for the events to have happened so quickly with Cambry and then what Lena goes through for her revenge, it all seems very incredulous, even the ending is a far stretch. Some people might say that all of these aspects are the making of a good thriller, but for me it just didn’t work. Some people will love this book, and others will fall into probably an unpopular category like myself. If you like the show Big Sky, then this book is probably for you given striking similarities between the two...taking place in Montana and involving a truck driver/cop duo. All opinions are purely my own.

I had to wait awhile before writing this review so I could think about the book. To say this book was edge of your seat is a total understatement, make sure to clear your day before you start this book! Lena has not always been close to her twin Cambry, but still has a strong connection. When Cambry ends up dead from suicide under mysterious circumstances, Lena knows that isn’t the whole story. As Lena blogs about her sisters end and sets out to investigate she knows she is in a dangerous situation, she just doesn’t realize how dangerous. As with this authors first book “No Exit,” it is impossible to put down. Excellent psychological thriller, would give way more than 5 stars if possible.

I absolutely adored No Exit by Taylor Adams, so I was looking forward to this new release by her. Unfortunately, I found the plot to be too dull and the characters didn't feel real.

This is the second Taylor Adams book I have read, No Exit was one of my favorite books when I read it. Lena Nguyen's twin sister Cambrey has committed suicide by jumping from an isolated bridge (nicknamed suicide bridge by locals), at least that's the official story. Lena has arranged to meet with the officer who found the body in an effort to find closure, she can't believe her sister would have ended her life and has questions she's looking for the answer for. The story is told through blog posts by Lena and a 'story' she wrote on her vision of how her sister lived her last days and Lena's meeting with the officer. Cambrey had left home with a boyfriend and travelled across the States, Cambrey is a free spirit, going where ever she's moved to. The officer that Lena meets with is Raymond Raycevic, the same officer we find out that had also encountered Cambrey before she had jumped from the bridge, he was in fact involved in a car chase with her. The details of Cambrey's past are slowly revealed, and eventually we find out that there this was not just a suicide. The story moves for the most part at a brisk pace, I found the middle dragged a bit for me, but once the reveals start happening, the pages could not be turned fast enough. Highly recommended. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I am miserable from a cold or sinus issues. I can't properly construe what I should say regarding this book.

It is a story fraught with a sadness undertone. It is gripping. It is jarring. It is twisted. It keeps you reading. It will leave you feeling unsettled.
