i loved No Exit; it was a read-in-one-sitting book for me, so when i sat down to read Hairpin Bridge, i expected the same. While this was still an excellent novel, it didn’t live up to the hype i built around it in my head. this book is twisty, it’s gory, and it’s suspenseful. in true Adam’s fashion, the writing was atmospheric and i thoroughly enjoyed it. i think, in my haste to the end, i didn’t comprehend all of the book, so maybe a reread will change my mind on the rating and i’ll pick up on things i missed. the ending was satisfying but i still felt confused. i will still read anything Adams writes and i can’t wait for his next one!

Thank you to Joffe Books, Taylor Adams, and Netgalley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the author's previous book No Exit, so I admit, I set the bar really high for Hairpin Bridge. While it wasn't quite as incredible, it was still enjoyable and made for a fast paced read with lots of action and twists.

I haven’t read No exit so I had no idea what I’m getting myself into with this title.
I enjoyed the grip that this story got on me from the first chapter. It held my attention right away and while it was getting confusing and quite hard for me to keep up with all the events from past and present and the new added characters, I still think it’s an intriguing story. It took me a bit longer to finish as I had to reread some parts of it back and forth to actually understand where everything goes but I’m happy that I haven’t gave up in the end.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy

I was a HUGE fan of No Exit, so I had really high hopes going into this one. My heart was racing a quarter of the way into this one, just like it was in No Exit. This was extremely fast paced, and kept me engaged through out. The main character was strong and smart which I loved and felt the same about the main character in No Exit. Thumbs up to Taylor Adams for making strong female protagonists. There were many times, however, where I felt a sort of disconnect and confusion. This was a fun and thrilling read, it just didn't keep me fully engaged as No Exit did.

DNF - Did not finish. I did not connect with the writing style or plot and will not be finishing this title. Thank you, NetGalley and Publisher for the early copy!

After Lena's twin sister, Cambry, allegedly jumped off a 200 foot bridge to her death, Lena needs to see and picture the place of the tragic accident for herself. With the help of state trooper, Raycevic, Lena is taken through Cambry's final day; however, not everything is adding up as it seems.

As a big fan of No Exit, Hairpin Bridge was a must read for me. Although the author kept me interested and entertained throughout the book, it became a little confusing by flipping between past and present and between the different narrators. I found myself having to reread past chapters to remember what previously happened with Cambry/Lena. In my opinion, I do not think it is as good as No Exit but I would still recommend it to find out the mystery for yourself!

Thank you Net Galley for the e-ARC!

This was on wild ride! I cannot emphasize how much I enjoyed this book. I'm sorry I waited so long to read it. The twists and turns were amazing and I really had no idea it would end the way it did. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a really great thriller!

Hairpin Bridge starts really strong, but I found myself losing interest after about 30%. It felt drawn out. It took me a long time to finish it.

No Exit was a much, much stronger thriller, and this one felt like the bad first draft of a movie thriller, with some truly ridiculous and underdeveloped characterization.

A bit disappointed considering Adams wrote one of my favorite thrillers of all time, No Exit. This one felt rushed and sloppy by comparison.

Enjoyable book! Very suspenseful and was told in different perspectives. I would recommend to those readers that enjoy family drama, suspense, and thrillers.

I went Into this one just off of the authors previous book, No Exit, and while this one was good it wasn’t as fast paced as I’d hoped. Adams is a fantastic writer with a knack for action and overall this was an enjoyable read.

Hairpin Bridge has an interesting premise and started strong for me. Unfortunately though it lost me along the way. I found it to be a bit unrealistic with twists that weren't all that surprising.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

After all the rave reviews for Taylor Adams No Exit I had high hopes for this one. Sadly I was let down and really struggled with this book after getting hooked in the beginning. My interest was lost with this story and the characters.

I really enjoyed this thriller. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and I thought it was a great read.

Unfortunately, Hairpin Bridge was a big disappointment for me. It felt like the majority of the book was all one big scene that just wouldn't come to an end. The excessive description of each thing that took place was just too much for me and I found myself quite bored with this one. I listened to this one on audio...maybe if I had actually read it, I would have liked it better....but it doubt it.

I have read other books by Taylor Adams so I was excited to read Hairpin Bridge. And while the book started off strong and had me invested it began to fall apart and I just found myself wanting it to end. The story became very unrealistic and predictable. Not a terrible story, but it could have been so much more.

Hairpin Bridge ~ Taylor Adams - Psychological Thriller 🔪🔪🔪🔪
When Lena's estranged twin sister dies by "suicide" Lena heads out to interview the police officer who found Cambry's body. But the more Lena learns the more twisted the story becomes and who can Lena trust???
This twisted plotline will have you chasing your tail trying to solve the what really happened. Corporal Raymond Raycevic is all too keen to help Lena with the last hours of her sister's life. But the story isn't adding up. The 911 calls, the cell dead zone, the suicide text, Please Forgive Me. Lena's search for the truth turns into a fight for her own survival. I'm always fascinated by a story involving twins and their bonds and connections. I think this played out well in the story. It was a solid 4 stars for me.
