I am a Freida fan and will read everything by her.

This book is currently a buddy read for me and my close friend.

I haven’t read a single book by Freida and not like it!

She has a way with words and stories that keeps you at the edge of your seat with all these plot twists and characters that take you on a rollercoaster ride!

If you haven’t read anything by Freida please do! You’ll get hooked like me!!!

Big thanks to Freida and netgalley for this arc!

I really enjoy Freida McFadden's books. While there isn't anything groundbreaking in *One by One*, it's a good, quick read that serves its purpose well. It's an enjoyable story to listen to while doing other things, and it will keep you entertained.

In the book, Claire Matchett is going on a weeklong trip with her estranged husband and some friends. When their minivan breaks down on a deserted road, they decide they're close enough to their destination to walk the rest of the way. For some reason, they never seem to reach their destination, and over the course of several days, various events unfold.

Overall, this book is fast-paced and entertaining, but nothing was particularly shocking. The twist at the end was quite underwhelming. So, if you're looking for a book that will blow your mind, this isn't it. However, if you want something quick and entertaining, this book will do the trick.

Rating: 3.25 Stars.

This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. I would definitely read more from this author!

When I read the description of this book it reminded me of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, and there were definitely some similar elements here. It was a bit unrealistic and repetitive, but it took me a while to guess the killer, and I read it in less than a day (which is very rare for me these days.) Not the best writing but I still thought it was a solid thriller.

Freida McFadden is always good for getting me out of a reading rut. This book was nothing amazing, but I always enjoy her books nonetheless. Picture me as a romance reader, but replace romance with a murder or two.

I just love Freida McFadden. Was this her best thriller? No. Did I still devour it in one day? Absolutely.

This was my second thriller by Freida McFadden I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing, and I highly recommend it. It was spooky, twisty, and so much fun. I am working my way through all of her books now!

I love anything that Freida McFadden writes and this one was no different. She is the queen of thrillers in my opinion

This was not my favorite book from McFadden. It was a bit boring at some points, but the twist at the ending was surprising and i was definitely not expecting it.

It was a fast read but i felt like the pace could have been a bit better.

This book was good but not Frieda’s best. It was a little boring at times and somewhat predictable. I will still recommend this book though!!

I read this back in October of 2024 and forgot to post the review.

This book definitely kept me on my toes, everyone when I thought o figured it out, I didn’t. The ending took a twist and I was definitely not expecting the killer to be who it was. If you want a fast read that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this is the book to read.

While this was a quick, easy read, it wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t like the characters and the twists were a little underwhelming. That said, I know I will read more of her in the future.

Thank you NetGalley for this e-ARC!
Well, that was quite unexpected.
At first, the writing threw me off, I didn’t like it. And there wasn’t much happening. But then once the story started to develop, I got into it and couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t figure what would happen next, who is setting the whole thing up, McFadden confuses you with different clues all the time. And then the plot twist hit, and it was amazing. If it was like that from the beginning, it would definitely be a 5 star read.

3/5 ⭐️

I like Freida’s books as they are always a quick read, but this one just wasn’t my favorite. Nonetheless, I will never just NOT read a FM book.

Well this book was...full of surprise. I'm not even sure if I liked it or not, I feel like I just woke up from some kind of fever dream. I enjoyed my time reading it most of the time, there was definitely some cringe moments, scenes where I just wanted to scream at the characters at their stupidity but overall it wasn't a bad book. I love Freida McFadden, she is definitely one of my favorite authors but this was felt weak for her usual brilliant novels. It was a quick read though so that was nice.

Also I haven't trusted a single person in this novel except Noah and Emma.

The anonymous narrator's chapters fascinated me, definitely kept guessing who it could be and while I had a guess I was so so wrong about their identity. It definitely shocked me when I found out the truth at the end.

One by One by Freida McFadden is a suspenseful, fast-paced thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Claire Matchett’s peaceful getaway with friends quickly spirals into a nightmare when they become lost in a remote forest and are picked off one by one. McFadden masterfully builds tension, blending elements of isolation, paranoia, and mystery as the group’s secrets unravel and survival becomes a deadly game. With its unpredictable twists and high stakes, this gripping novel is perfect for fans of psychological thrillers and survival dramas.

Once again Freida McFadden has hit it out of the park! It is fascinating just how much punch she can pack into less than three hundred pages. Tension sizzles from the very first pages as dysfunction bubbles just below the surface. Who to love? Who to trust? As we are introduced to the players we quickly come to realize there may be a hidden agenda, but who is really pulling the strings? Atmospheric, the isolated forest definitely has a malevolent vibe. It brings to mind those childhood fairy tales that sent those delicious shivers up and down the spine. Suspense builds to a perfect, satisfying finish, but first you must examine everyone...One By One!

This wasn't my favorite. I read through to find out the twists. Once I did, they were mostly underwhelming. I know I've read better by FM, for sure. This won't be my last but it definitely wasn't my favorite.

It's a typical Freida book. Entertaining and easy to digest. If you're looking for a fast-paced book that usually includes a twist you didn't guess, One by One is one to pickup.
