Not my favorite Freida book, probably my least favorite actually, but still not a bad thriller! Read It very quickly and was still interested in the plot. It just was very predictable. A group of friends consisting of 3 couples get stranded in the woods on their way to a week long vacation away. Told primarily from one of the wives, Claire’s, POV with some chapters of an anonymous someone in the groups flashbacks from their abusive childhood. Still enjoyed and would recommend, just not anything special.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange of my honest opinion! Still feel if Freida writes It, i will read It.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a milder version of similar themes to Darcy Coates' Hunted, very similar to Agatha Christie's And Then There Was None. The entire time I was reading, I was so certain I knew how the end would play out, but I never once had any idea that the big plot twist would be what ended up occurring! I read this book in a day, absolutely devoured it. Up there with some of my favorites of Freida's, such as Never Lie, The Locked Door, Ward D, The Inmate, etc.

overall very meh. i normally love freida books and this one still had a good twist at the end, but the rest of it wasn’t very original and i had to force myself to get through some parts.

Really enjoyed the fast paced mystery. I was left guessing the entire book. I'm glad the characters were a bit older as well as it made the experience seem more real.

This book had me hooked from the first chapter and I binge read it in a matter of hours. There is just something about Freida McFadden writing that has me flying through her books.

They do all follow the same formula & I found this one in particular terribly predictable! As in, I called it from the first “death”, but that didn’t make the story & experience any less enjoyable.

I appreciate the opportunity to review this book thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. Freida has not disappointed me yet. It never ceases to amaze me the way she can continue to come up with twist after twist for story after story. This book is set in the woods, which normally seems predictable, but it didn’t end as I thought it was going to. Another 4 star read!

Freida McFadden is the thriller Queen! She is absolutely amazing at keeping me glued to her books.
This book goes along the lines of picking people off. All the books I have read from her were based off of one main character so it was different seeing a group of people being the main focus.

I love Freida McFadden books. I like that they are all quick reads you can finish in 1 to 2 sittings. I enjoy the truly messed up twists at the end and have fun trying to guess what the shocking surprise ending will be. This one did not disappoint.

This was just an ok read for me. Not McFadden’s best work. The premise is one I’ve read before, a group heads out for a trip, but events happen and the bodies pile up. Clair our main character was sorta of boring and I figured out what was happening early on in the story.
No real thrills or surprise in this book like other McFadden books I’ve read.

"One by One" by Freida McFadden is a gripping thriller. The story is filled with suspense, unexpected twists, and well-developed characters that keep you hooked from beginning to end. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, this book is a page-turner you won't be able to put down.

As per usual, I binged this whole book in one sitting. There is just something about the way that Freida writes her books that just sucks you in. I really enjoyed this one. It was fun and twisty, This book kept me guessing the entire time and I was completely shocked with the ending. This is such a fun and fast paced book that would be perfect for a rainy day read! As always, love Freida and can't wait to read more of her books.

As with all FMF books, it drew me in and I read it in one sitting. Are her books the most realistic? No. But that's not what I need from her. I need an escape from reality and that's what you get. It's thrilling and exciting and a great read.

This one was another fail for me.
2.5

I found the characters boring and the whiplash of twists near the end predictable as this has become a Freida McFadden staple. It's almost to be expected that the first and even second reveal are actually red herrings, waiting until the literal last couple pages for the final shoe to be dropped.

I'll still binge all her books tho.

Thank you to NetGalley and PoisonedPen Press for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an E-ARC of One by One. Wow. This was a thrill of a book to read. So many twists and turns I couldn't put it down.

This is a middle of the lane book for me. It starts quite goood and it keeps you on your toes but because there is little character development all of them feel flat, boring and its hard to distinquish them from eachother. I very much like the Anonymous chapters so it helped keep my attention. While I didnt predict the book I think my dislike of the characters was the major issue.

"One by One" is a super gripping mystery where a bunch of strangers get stuck in the woods. Things get crazy as they figure out one of them is a killer! The twists and turns are wild, keeping you guessing till the very end. The author, Freida McFadden, keeps it easy to follow, but you'll still be totally into the story. If you love mysteries that make your heart race, this book is a total must-read!

Claire Matchett needs this trip. It will be a break from work and raising children. A chance to repair her damaged marriage. A week of hiking and hot tubbing with friends at a luxurious hotel in the woods, disconnected from the pressures of real life.Then, on a lonely dirt road, Claire's minivan breaks down. With no cell reception, the group has no choice but to walk the rest of the way to their remote accommodation. But the forest is dark and difficult to navigate and, hours later, they are lost. Hopelessly lost. As they venture deeper into the woods, the members of their party are struck down mysteriously, one by one. Are they being hunted? And by what—or who? As Claire's dream vacation descends into a nightmare, something becomes clear: only one of them will return home alive. This kept on the edge of my seat until the very end. The phrase gripping thriller doesn't do it justice. Highly recommend but plan on staying up all night to finish it.

A domestic suspense that kept me engaged enough to finish, but I didn’t quite like it as much as other psychological thrillers by this author. There was one major twist, and I did foresee it about halfway through the book. Still fun, quick read though!
3.5 stars

One By One by Freida McFadden is a thriller that follows a trio of couples as they go on a getaway. Clair and Noah’s marriage has been in shambles and this trip might be just what they need. However, things don’t go as planned and the group winds up lost in the wilderness. When they start disappearing….one by one….they’re left not knowing who they can trust.

In true Freida style, this book has plenty of twists, turns, and unpredictability. None of the characters in this one are particularly likable, but I think that added to the suspense because they all really had reasons why they could be suspicious. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I bumped this one down to 4 stars because there were a few questions I had that were left unanswered in the end. Overall, I found One By One to be a quick and entertaining read.

Thank you to NetGalley and PoisonedPen Press for the opportunity to review a digital ARC of this book (I also purchased my own physical copy).

Thank you NetGalley for this arc!

This was my first time reading from this author and MAN!! Can’t get enough!

We’re following three couples, one of which is having very noticeable marital issues. One by one people start disappearing under mysterious circumstances.
The plot twist!! I was guessing until the end!
