This was a good book that kept my interest the entire time. It’s crazy how a story can get twisted. It’s also crazy to think about what families will do to keep their name clean.

this was really fun! i loved megan lally's debut, and this one was similarly full of tense, edge of your seat suspense. i'm very selective of the ya mystery/thrillers that i read nowadays, but this author is definitely on my list of auto-reads now. i loved the single-night timeline and high speed chase feeling of the whole book.

I really enjoyed Megan Lally’s other book “That’s Not My Name” so I knew I had to try to get an Arc for No Place Left to Hide the moment it hit Netgalley. THIS WAS SO GOOD. The pacing was great, it was just as enthralling as her previous and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Quickly becoming an auto buy author

This book has an intriguing premise with Brooke trying to maintain a perfect life while dealing with the fallout of a mysterious past incident. The author builds a suspenseful atmosphere, and the book moves at a good pace.

However, the story quickly becomes predictable, and many of the twists are easy to see coming. The mystery doesn’t deliver the impact I was hoping for, and the tension that’s built up early on fades as the plot unfolds.

Overall, it’s an okay read for fans of YA thrillers, but it lacks the depth and surprises that could have made it stand out.

Megan Lally has done it again! 🤯

This fast paced, tension building book had me on the edge of my seat. With a dual timeline structure and so many twists and turns, this book was hard to put down.

If you're a fan of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Pretty Little Liars then this is for you!

This one pulls you into a web of secrets and danger that is intense! It’s a story about how far people will go to protect the truth and themselves. Gripping and lingers long after you finish. Would definitely recommend!

No Place Left to Hide centers on Brooke, a seemingly perfect teen hiding dark secrets. While the story starts off with heavy high school drama and an unlikeable protagonist, it improves significantly in pacing and suspense midway through. Despite a predictable plot at times, the tension builds well, leading to a surprising twist and a satisfying conclusion. Creative formatting in the final chapter adds flair, though an epilogue would have been appreciated.

Entertaining from start to end, this story alternates between past and present, which i thought was a really good way of keeping us on edge. While I did pick up on some clues along the way on who was behind all of it, that didn't ruin the ride. It was thrilling and intriguing, and it has that Megan Lally touch that made That's Not My Name so addictive and No Place Left To Hide, just as.

How far are you willing to go to protect your family’s name and live up to the expectations they placed on you? Listen this book literally kept me on the edge of my seat! Who is/was the real victim!? The plot twist, I didn’t see coming. You know, It’s wise to not think so highly of yourself, as though you can’t ever be knocked down; also be mindful of how you treat people. What a read & the lessons that one can adopt to navigate life with others.

No Place Left to Hide is a fast-paced, unflinching psychological thriller that keeps readers guessing until the very end. A perfect one-sitting read for fans of high-stakes secrets and fierce, flawed heroines.

Brooke is a high school senior at a prestigious private Waldorf school, she is Ivy League bound, going to the prom with the boy she’s always had a thing for, and from a rich and powerful family. The thing is, she is always thinking of her friend turned enemy Claire who tragically drowned the first week of school. And she keeps getting cryptic texts and called from a blocked number, telling her to confess. But confess what? Claire’s drowning was ruled an accident. The novel is told in two timelines which, while necessary for the plot, slowed down the novel’s momentum. There could have been a lot more development on the animosity between the Heck’s and the Goodwins, the breakdown of Jena and Claire’s friendship, Brooke’s relationship with her parents, etc to really illustrate those tensions versus just saying they existed. This is the definition of a YA thriller! This book is full of drama, secrets, mystery, and suspense. Thank you to RBmedia, Negalley and Megan Lall

Wow wow wow okay Megan I see you - you have officially made my auto buy list!

I was lucky enough to receive this book as an ARC and let me tell you I was screaming when I was approved, this is the second book I’ve read by this lovely author!

This book follows Brooke - to Brooke, image is everything, and that drive for perfection makes her such a compelling character in this heart-pounding thriller. Megan Lally crafts an intense story where the consequences of a mysterious incident loom over every moment. The book explores Brooke’s struggle to balance her desire for a flawless life with the dark secrets that threaten to unravel everything.

The pacing is excellent, especially when Brooke and her best friend are pursued by the ominous truck. The fear and suspense during that scene are palpable, and I found myself on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. Lally’s portrayal of Brooke’s inner turmoil adds depth to the story, making it more than just a straightforward thriller.

I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because, while the tension is masterfully built, I would have loved a bit more insight into the history between Brooke and Claire and their families. That being said, the slow reveal does keep you hooked and invested in the outcome. Overall, this is a gripping read with plenty of twists and turns.

Highly recommend!

I read No Place Left to Hide in one sitting. While it didn't have the emotional punch of the Megan Lally's first novel, That's Not My Name, it was a fun, disturbing tale of the cruelty of some teens. I couldn't put it down and though it definitely seemed more geared toward the teen age group, as an adult, I was enthralled and horrified at times and did NOT predict the ending.

This was one that kept me guessing until almost the end! It’s refreshing to read a thriller where you can’t figure anything out right away. I will keep looking for titles from this author!

Megan Lally has become my favorite thriller aurthor. Her first book broke me and this book was another emotional wreck. This aurthor knows how to hurt her readers good and dying to read more book by her.

I did like this one a little more than the other book I read of hers but it still wasn't my favorite read! I don't enjoy the banter of high school kids - it always feels a bit juvenile, which I know is fundamental to the character's age.

However, I did enjoy the twist in this one and even though I had a gut feeling about it, I still appreciated it!

Brooke is a teen at a prestigious high school who has secrets. These secrets have to do with the death of her best friend Claire last year. However, someone seems to know Brooke's secrets and is determined to reveal them.

This one sounded so interesting! I generally really enjoy YA thrillers, but this one missed the mark for me. The characters were all so, so unlikeable, and so I didn't super care about their fate. It also felt really predictable throughout. I appreciate the author trying to leave clues for us but these were more like big signs of this is what happened. It had promise, but just wasn't for me.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

3.5⭐️ rounded up to 4. I loved Megan’s first book. I enjoyed this one as well and how the story wasn’t really what you thought it was. I just didn’t love it the way I loved That’s Not My Name.
