Frieda is the queen of suspense, I couldn’t put this book down.

6 friends travel to a secluded cabin for a weekend away.
Slowly each friend disappears until only a few remain.

Who will make it back home ?

There's just something about the way that Frieda McFadden writes! I didn't realize that this was a re-print of a book that I had already read, but I just love the way that McFadden gets you pulled into a book and doesn't make any ridiculous leaps.

This is the story of a trip that turns into your quintessential characters dying off story. Our main character is set and ready to go on her relaxing vacation, but when her car breaks down on the way, her and her group have to hike through the woods the rest of the way through to the hotel. However, her friends soon start dying off and she has to get to the bottom of it.

If I had "friends" like these, I'd live like a hermit in a cave. I wanted everyone to die.

The whole story was just too absurd, and I didn't care about any of it.

DNF

This was a Frieda McFadden book that I hadn’t read yet so I was excited to start it. Right away I was sucked into the relationships between the characters and trying to figure out who was the mastermind behind this trip.
The story is mostly from Claire’s POV but also occasionally is told from Anonymous’s POV which keeps you guessing.
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever correctly guessed a twist in a Freida McFadden book and this was no exception!
Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this ebook.

Frieda McFadden is a household name at this point, and my husband probably thinks she's a long-lost friend of mine for how much I talk about her. This book was like all of the others in the fact that it was full of twists and thrills, ongoing entertainment, and just all-around a joy to read. I haven't run into a bad book yet.

Frieda did it again. Kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the ending and adding twist after twist.

I have read so many of Freida McFadden books and this one is easily top 5. You will continue to second guess up until the very last page. Do not leave this one on your tbr list.

One By One By Frieda McFadden?! WOW just WOW… I’m always going into books blind. IDK, I guess I just like being genuinely surprised me something happens. Everywhere I turned there was something happening that made this one a fun read for me. Anytime the words, psychological thriller, and the name Freida McFadden are in the same sentence, sign me up and I do mean anytime. I was able to read and finishes working one setting. This is why my love for Freida McFadden and runs deep. The plot twists were twisting and let me just say, I will be back for more 10 out of 10, I would recommend!!!

This was overall a very entertaining and page turned book, but not as twisted as previous books I've read from Freida McFadden. Almost like her signature move, Freida throws us right into the action, and takes in through the eyes of Claire and Anonymous (our killer), from their perspective we enter a vacation from hell at the same time we learn about this killer sad past, character's are flawed and sometimes unlovable which makes us question everyone and leads us to believe we know what's happening, but if you know Freida's writing, you know she'll just pull the rug from under your feet at any moment and turn the story upside down, right when you think you figured it all ou.
The plot felt unrealistic and some details seems completely out of place at times, but I still enjoyed it. Did not predict what the ending would be or who Anonymous was, so it was a really nice surprise.

This is some of Freida’s best work, hands down. The storyline, plot twists, characters & setting were all so intriguing and well thought out. I read it in one sitting and I could not put it down. I also thought having an “Anonymous” narrator was GENIUS because it makes it so much more suspenseful & interesting. I absolutely loved it and am putting it in my top 10 for thrillers this year.

This was my 5th Freida McFadden book and they are the perfect books to binge. I must make the effort to go through her entire back catalogue.

This one follows Claire who is going on a vacation with her husband who she cannot stand and a group of friends. Its full of the usual tropes; getting lost in the woods, no phone service, being killed off one by one and yet it also contained twists I never saw coming with a great ending.

OH•MY•GAWWWWD!!! 😱

The suspense, the mystery, the PLOT TWIST!!! I kept guessing who it could be the whole time, but not once did I guess the killer! @fmcfaddenauthor YOU TRICKED ME!!! That deserves a 5/5 ⭐️ FOR SURE!!
…
One by One was originally released back in 2020, but has reappeared with a brand new paperback cover!! Saw it on the shelves at @target so I have proof it’s available NOW!!

This book was FUN. The characters all had redeemable and irredeemable qualities which made you question all of their intentions. A short fast read with a good twist, but the ending left a lot to be desired. It seemed too rapid and didn’t tie up the plot well enough to feel satisfying.

I might be an outlier on this book, but I just don't get the hype. I found the plot to be completely unbelievable and truly ridiculous at times, however, I could not put it down. I knew there was going to be a twist like all Frieda McFadden books, and that didn't disappoint, I just feel like everything to get up to the twist was so far fetched. You have to suspend a lot of reality to believe this one. The group is on a road that is supposedly two miles from an inn and they decide to take off just into the woods instead of following a road? The car suddenly stalls as soon as they get in the woods? They walk for DAYS in the woods and never stumble back to their car or to any water source? Just completely wild to me. Overall, some folks who might be getting into thrillers might enjoy this one- I've just read too many fantastic thrillers to be too impressed.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book. All opinions within this review are my own.

Three couples set off for a week long trip together at a rural lodge, but never quite make it to their destination. As the days of hopelessly roaming the woods drag on, one thing becomes clear – only one of them would be returning home alive. This was a quickly paced thriller that kept my attention until the very end.. buuuuut this one fell a little flat for me. The characters were a bit stereotypical/dull and their motivations fuzzy. A page turning, fast read that got me at the end with the classic McFadden twist.

Thank you to Net Galley and Poison Pen Press for the opportunity to read an E-ARC of One by One written by Freida McFadden in exchange for my honest review.

This book was hard for me to get into at first but I got there. The only reason it was not a 5 star for me is because I felt like the storyline dragged a bit too long. The last 25% of the book was very suspenseful and I did not see the ending coming at all. This book will have you questioning all your friendships and relationships. Freida has done it again!

Another great thriller by Freida! Fast paced and gripping, kept you guessing the entire time with a “who done it” vibe. It had a good premise and twists through out, 3 stars!

It is a good read, but don't expect nothing to different in the plot. The beginning is very slow, then around the middle part it gets a little faster and more interesting. I enjoyed the Anonimous parts a lot. The revealing at the end did surprise me to be honest, but i wish it was made in a little more "dramatic" way. Get into the character's personality a little more and really to feel the "why this is happenind".

One by One is a psychological thriller about 3 couples heading on a vacation in the woods.
Claire, is trapped. Her husband has become a complete stranger. She’s overwhelmed with the daily demands of being a mom. A week of hikes and jacuzzi tubs what could be more relaxing?
But when their van breaks down unexpectedly, leaving them stranded with no cell phone reception, their only option is to hike back to civilization.
However, one by one something tragic happens to each of them. Until only one of them is left.

I absolutely love Freida McFaddens thrillers. They captivate you from the first line and you cannot put them down, this one was no different!
I enjoyed how it was two different voices, Claire’s and an anonymous person.
In true Freida fashion, the book had so many different twists and turns that just when I thought I had it figured out something happened and I was completely thrown off again.

While there was some expletive language, it wasn’t much and there was only 1 “romantic” moment between a married couple.

Overall, if you love a good thriller that will keep you up all night I would highly recommend this one!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book!

Honestly Frida, you can do no wrong. Everything you do is always 100% amazing. You have me on the edge of my seat can’t put it down every time. This is no different. Who doesn’t love a good friends go to a cabin and one by one the group gets smaller as things get revealed. I’m always shocked by the end I never saw coming. I love a good mystery from Frida to cleanse my fantasy pallet and this was perfect!
