** Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion. **

Holy moly! I really love how this book is written with the timelines. There are so many twists and shocking moments in this book. It is a real page turner. It’s as if you are experiencing a cliffhanger all throughout the book and then it all comes together in the end. Taylor Adams is a great author. No Exit was also a favorite book of mine as well.

Whew!! I need a Xanax after finishing this book. I was so tense and on the edge of my seat from the very beginning and it never let up!

This is a prey and predator, cat and mouse, high intensity psychological thriller that I highly recommend for thriller fans!! I've heard great things about this book and I'm so glad I decided to check this book out!

Fair warning: I read the majority of this book late at night while home alone and that may not have been good idea (ha!), because this book had me so anxious with how it was going to turn out I had to wait til morning to finish! Adams definitely knows how to write a thriller!!

TW: suicide, death of child

***Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me an advanced copy of this book!

Wow! Good book! I wasn't to sure about this book at first! But I'm glad I stuck with it! It was a crazy little story! Lol this book had given me the chills! It had suspense, intrigue, action, and plenty of heart pounding moments! Lots of twists and turns! I definitely recommend reading this one! Its well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Wow this one was a struggle to get through for me. I know I'm in the minority, but this author and I may just not jive. This book is full of one convenience and eye roll moment after another. The amount of times a character does something "unexpected" at the EXACT right moment to avoid sure death is just astounding. I don't think the author bothered to research on even the simplest of scientific facts. Even the plot for a thriller was either monologues on monologues of the characters discussing what happened like the reader can't pick up on it or (view spoiler). ] It just really didn't work for me at all.

With that said, I know a ton of people loved this book. If you enjoyed No Exit or are looking for a fast paced thriller this might be for you.

Hairpin Bridge is a twisted game of cat and mouse as Lena delves into the mystery surrounding her estranged twin sister’s alleged suicide on a infamous (creepy AF) bridge.

Things just don’t add up for Lena, and she has made it her mission to get to the bottom of it and challenge the suspicious officer who found her sister’s body.

As Lena pokes the bear, she finds herself getting pulled deeper and deeper into it’s dark lair of deceit. YES, FOLKS! Things get very grim. But Lena is not one to f*ck with, and I loved it.

Much like No Exit, Adams’ last book, this one kept me dangling on the edge with a white knuckle grip. The tension was high, and I felt like anything could happen at any given moment.

As I read, I couldn’t help but wonder if when Lena gets her answers, she will wish she didn’t know the truth. It all just felt as loaded as a secret 9-millimeter Beretta. Will Lena get the result she desires, or will it all just go up in smoke and ashes?

YOU WILL NEED TO FIND OUT ON - when this thriller is published. Thank you @netgalley and @williammorrowbooks for providing this awesome ARC for me to review.

I gave it all the stars for the sheer adrenaline factor. I was invested and this book gave me horror movie feels. I don’t think it will be for everyone, but if you enjoy action packed edge of your seat thrillers, give it a shot.

I received an ACR of Hairpin Bridge by Taylor Adams from NetGalley. What a wild ride! I couldn't read this fast enough! Lena wanted to find out the truth about her twin Cambry's suicide by returning to Hairpin Bridge to talk to the Corporal Ray Raycevik. He had found Cambry at the bottom of the bridge. There were so many twists and turns in this book that I can't say too much more without giving them away. The author was laser focused on her story and characters. The characters were developed layer by layer and continually added a new detail that moved the story along and revealed more about Cambry's story before her suicide.. If you want a quick read, this thriller is for you!!

While I do not think that this book deserves all of the negative talk going around social, it was still just okay for me. The heroine was very hard to believe in. When exactly did she go from tiny little ordinary citizen to indestructible super hero? Also, the fight scenes were really repetitive. I kept having the feeling that I had already read this part, but nope, it was just exactly like the previous 6 chapters.... plus the ‘twist’ really didn’t make much sense to me? When we were getting Cambry’s perspective of the day she dies she says that she just randomly comes across some strange dude in the woods and he follows her. Then we are told they had a relationship and she was there willingly with him? What? I understand an unreliable narrator, but this one just really doesn’t make sense for me. I little disappointing for me, because I really did LOVE No Exit, and was looking forward to this one.

Several months ago, Lena’s twin sister, Cambry, took her own life. Cambry drove for over an hour to the Hairpin Bridge in Montana and jumped from the bridge to her death. That is the police “open and shut” account of what happened.

Lena does not believe that her sister would take her own life, so she starts playing detective and asking questions. The questioning starts with the officer that found her sister’s body. The officer’s official story is not adding up and there is clearly something amiss. Was Cambry actually murdered?

I really enjoyed this exciting thriller. I was highly engaged from the beginning to the end. Taylor Adams really knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat. Lots of suspense and some good twists and turns in this one. I definitely recommend it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Coffee Books for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This review will be posted to my Instagram Blog (@coffee.break.book.reviews) on June 10, 2021.

3.5/4 stars! I enjoyed this book but I felt it was too predictable and bogged down with details. I wanted something more.
The storyline itself was fun and fast paced for a thriller.
Cambry and Lena are twin sisters- very different but still the same.
Cambry’s death is ruled a suicide but Lena is hell bent on proving her sister would never kill herself. She arranges a meeting with the cop who pulled her over just a few hours before on the bridge her sister jumped from.
There are two stories- Lena and Cambry going on which at times got a bit confusing.

I know this will be a huge hit for Taylor Adams fans!
Thanks to William Morrow for my gifted copy.

I loved NO EXIT - couldn’t put it down, so of course I couldn’t wait to read this one. It was so good. Heart-racing, no idea where it was going and I couldn’t put it down. This will be a great beach book!

If you are looking for a book that is a fast-paced, unputdownable, wild ride - look no further. I’ve been in a little reading slump, but every time I put Hairpin Bridge down, I couldn’t wait to pick it back up again.
This story follows Lena Nguyen to Montana in a mission to find out more details - and the truth - of what happened the night her twin sister, Cambry, jumped to her death from the supposedly haunted Hairpin Bridge. Meeting the cop who found her body, Officer Reycevic, and as the truth slowly comes out, the tension and action drastically speeds up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved Taylor Adams’ NO EXIT a couple of years ago so when I heard he had a new book coming out, of course I was so excited to check it out!

The story centres around Lena Nguyen who just doesn’t believe her estranged twin sister, Cambry, committed suicide by jumping off HAIRPIN BRIDGE. Lena decides to investigate herself, retracing her sister’s last steps, determined to find out what really happened. I don’t want to say anymore than that 🤐

The book is just FULL of twists, you think you’ve solved the case, and then wham... another twist 🎢 I just could not put this one down! My heart was pounding as I turned each page - SO much suspense (🚨 major intense anxiety throughout) and plenty of gory details that made me squirm. What more could you want in a thriller 🙌🏻... oh and it has my fave; alternating timelines 👏🏻👏🏻

👀 Out next month, mark your calendars- this thriller is the perfect addition to your summer TBR!

Same review going live on @bookedupgirl next week

***TRIGGER WARNING: SNAKES*** <-- this ALWAYS needs to be known before reading a book!!!!

4.5 stars

WOW, if there's one thing Taylor Adams does well, it's action/suspense!!! I felt a good chunk of the book was just a detailed gunfight, but I loved the main character Lena, and her smarts, determination and just general courage to get answers. Some things weren't explained though - like how did Lena know some of the things she knew?

This picture pretty much sums up all my questions while I was reading:

It seemed like Cambry made a lot of assumptions as well, but all was explained, and I love that!

Thank you Taylor Adams, NetGalley and Joffe Books for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review! Pub date June 25, 2021

Cambry Nguyen jumped off Hairpin Bridge committing suicide, but her twin sister Lena doesn't believe it. Lena has a plan to get to the bottom of her sister's mysterious death by confronting the officer who found Cambry's body.

Hairpin Bridge is thriller where you actually need your brain turned on because it does have some real thinker moments. Don't read this when you're tired! The car chase gave me Tarantino Death Proof vibes, so I had the soundtrack on repeat in my head while reading this. I could also see this being turned into a cult favourite movie. It had the vibes of 80s horror flicks.

Taylor Adams deliberately chose to write Hairpin Bridge in a specific manner for maximum impact and the novel spans a single day. The reader gets third person POVs from the main characters, but the majority is from Lena (regular font). We also read excerpts from Lena blog prior to the day she confronts the officer (bolded font) and excerpts from the book she is writing in the future, which is from Cambry's perspective (italicized font). If this sounds confusing to you, that's because it was. It took me some time (like 50% of the novel) to wrap my brain around everything and keep track of but by the end I found I could dig it. It was intentionally confusing and misleading, which may frustrate some readers!

There were some moments where I got confused by right/left when people were driving and I had to attempt to draw/recreate what I was reading. Also... handcuffs - I thought they were behind his back? Anyways, if you've read this, was it just me?

Thank you Netgalley for arc!

All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4/5 ⭐️!

Holy crap this book was FABULOUS! I read No Exit a couple years back and really enjoyed it so I was excited to see that Taylor Adams was coming out with another book.

This book was so fast paced and thrilling that I couldn’t stop reading. Taylor Adams has a way of immersing people into dark and twisted settings and characters.

I loved how the story was told and I especially loved the blog posts throughout the book. It was definitely hard to read at some parts but overall this book was incredible. It’s definitely going into my favorite thrillers of the year list.

It’s safe to say that whatever Taylor Adams writes, I’ll definitely be reading. I highly recommend picking this up!

Release on June 15th so make sure you grab a copy!

Wow, what a twisty and fast-paced action thriller! I have absolutely no regrets reading it in one sitting and finishing it at 3am. Although not as good as No Exit, it was still an extremely compelling read.

Even more interesting is how 99% of the story takes place entirely on Hairpin Bridge itself and there are only four characters. I was kept guessing the entire time about whether Cambry's death was suicide or murder.

I enjoyed the multiple perspectives and how the author chose to tell Cambry's story. Rather than using the cheap and lazy method of storytelling by letting a dead character narrate her POV, Cambry's POV is actually told by Lynn, who is trying to piece together the events leading to Cambry's death.

Wasn't fond of any of the characters or the ending, however, but I can see why the author chose to go with that. Frankly, the protagonist sucks.

✨ Favourite quote: "Twins share a soul, they say. It's an abomination when one dies. The other is cursed to wander the earth incomplete and alone."

When your estranged twin is said to have committed the ultimate sin, how far would you go to redeem her name and search for the truth even if it means risking your own life?

I will pick up any book by this author after No Exit, which I devoured in a sitting. I do have to admit that I did enjoy No Exit more than this new release, but Taylor did not disappoint in this new heart-wrenching thriller. Hairpin Bridge had me on the edge of my seat through almost every chapter, dangling on each word. Pulse-pounding twists and turns and some very graphic scenes had me writhing and crawling out of my skin. Initially the multiple viewpoints was a bit confusing (may have been the digital edition I was reading) but getting the perspectives from each character put you right in their high-stakes position. I can't count the number of times my jaw-dropped, or I said 'REALLY? COME ON!'

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.

A true.y gripping story of twin girls so different to each other but actually quite the same who get involved in a twisted life of a haunted soul. In this book nothing is as it seems which results in a great storyline don’t miss this one

Alright. I don’t like being negative. I don’t like not finishing books. But I’m done with this author.

No Exit would have been incredible if it weren’t for the author’s ignorant comments about pit bulls. Advocating for pit bulls is a hill I’ll die on.

Just when I thought Hairpin Bridge would be *the* book that made me feel good about liking the author, 82% into the book, he makes another ignorant comment about pit bulls.

Comments like his are the reason thousands of pit bulls are euthanized in shelters all over this country every single day. Comments like his are the reason they have a bad stigma. Comments like his are the reason why I will only give his book one star and never read another book from him again.

I was a huge fan of No Exit, so finding out that Taylor Adams wrote another book had me excited. I very recently joined NetGalley, so finding the title here felt a little bit like Christmas. Thanks to NetGalley and Joffe Books for my advanced copy.

Lena Nguyen’s estranged twin sister, Cambry, jumped to her death off of Hairpin Bridge near Missoula, Montana. At least that's the official version, but Lena doesn't believe it. She travels to Montana to meet with Corporal Raymond Raycevic, the officer who had not only found Cambry's body, but had pulled her over for speeding an hour before she died.

So I'm not going to sugar coat this. The first several chapters just didn't draw me in. I assumed, based on No Exit, that things would accelerate once the plot thickened. Well, strap on those seat belts folks, this book accelerates! Some things I figured out quickly, other's caught me way off guard. There are a few moments where I wanted things to just be done, a few moments of "are you kidding me?" and then a few moments where I have to stop and catch a breath. A full gauntlet of feelings! I was going to rate the book at 4.5 stars, but the ending cinched a 5 star rating for me. Any book that has me looking the other way while my kids scarf down a whole bag of Oreos for breakfast is worthy of a 5 star rating. (Yeah, I just admitted that in public.) Thanks again for the ARC!!! I will be recommending this book to all my friends that love thrillers. (Sharing my review on Goodreads, and in a bit, Instagram.)
