First of all, thank you to NetGalley for my advanced copy (even though I'm a little late with my review :))

This book was not bad. I definitely liked Megan Lally's first book better (That's Not My Name). This book was interesting and it did keep me engaged, but it just fell flat for me, 3,5 stars for me! (rounded to 4 stars on here!)

Megan Lally’s 'No Place Left to Hide' is a gripping, fast-paced thriller that keeps readers on edge from start to finish. The story follows a girl on the run, desperate to escape a relentless killer while unraveling secrets that could save—or doom—her. Lally masterfully blends suspense, survival, and emotional depth, making the protagonist’s journey feel both intense and personal. With sharp writing, well-crafted twists, and a constant sense of danger, this book is perfect for fans of high-stakes thrillers. A must-read for anyone craving a heart-pounding mystery!

This is book was really good. I enjoy Megan Lally writing so much. Loved both her books so far. Can't wait to read more. I can't wait to do the audible of this book as well

I'd give it three and a half stars i think. lots of mean girls/pretty little liars vibes here. I Predicted the “twist” pretty early on BUT the truth and end result still got me. Would still recommend.

Make sure you buckle in when you get ready to read this one. It is a suspenseful, twisty ride. I can't say much without giving the twists away, but I absolutely LOVED this one and can't wait to put it in my students hands.

After reading "That's Not My Name" recently, I knew I had to pick up Lally's newest book! Just like her last, this book started kind of slow but definitely hooked me. I did not see the twist coming in this and I am still thinking about it daily, weeks later. I am loving the quick thrillers Lally is putting out, and will definitely keep reading.

I love thriller and horror YA books, so this one was right down my alley! I listened to this audiobook and could not stop listening until the very end. Multiple surprise TWISTS and that ending, OH MY GOD!!! Just unbelievably FANTASTIC!

Brooke, a high school student with a perfect GPA, strict parents, and a coveted image, is trying to gain that perfect, cool image back after a horrific accident at her lake house party last year that left one friend dead. An accident in which many blamed Brooke, however, she was left blameless by the law. The receiver of escalating threats and vandalism, Brooke is "bullied" by her best friend to go to a party, at the lake, where her crush will also be.

All is cool and well until Brooke and her bestie head home....

(I can't say much more than that otherwise I'd give it all away)

I was left FLOORED with all of the twists and turns, especially the LAST TWIST! Huge SHOCKER!

I enjoyed this one! It kept me on edge and while it may have been a little predicable I still enjoyed the read.

If you’re a fan of thrillers, this one is a must-read for young adults! No Place Left to Hide is a fast-paced, suspense-filled ride that will have you glued to the pages.

The story follows Brooke, the golden child from the perfect family... until a tragic incident at a summer party changes everything. Now, she’s trying desperately to get back into her parents’ good graces, all while keeping a dark secret — someone is threatening her.

From creepy messages to vandalized cars and articles left for her, things only get worse. With the pressure mounting, Brooke is talked into another party where things spiral out of control, and the truth starts to surface.

This book is an absolute rollercoaster. While I loved it as a vibe read, I can totally see it becoming a favorite among teens. I wish we had more intense, engaging thrillers like this when I was in high school!

Definitely recommend this one if you’re looking for a thrilling mystery with a relatable, edge of your seat read.

OMG that ending was so unhinged.... I love it so much. I'm really glad I was alone while reading this. I can just imagine my facial expressions at some points!

After reading and LOVING That's Not My Name, I was hyped to get into this one. Another YA thriller by Lally that sucked into its suspenseful plot and kept me engaged and wondering what would happen. There was lots of cattiness, drama, and mean girl vibes in this story. I was invested in finding out who the culprit was, and my guesses leading up to the end were wrong. The plot was fast paced and kept me entertained even though these girls irritated me. The tension that the author built was palpable, and kept me on the edge of my seat during the last two-thirds of the book.

Thank you NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Fire for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this one, though there were a few things that bothered me but i still had fun reading! Even though I didn't really like any of the characters (I found it difficult to be in Brooke's head sometjmes) I still enjoyed the story.

The pacing was great, and this book gave the vibe of mean girls, mixed with pretty little liars but way worse! I would say pick this up if you're in the mood for a quick read!

i’m a little torn on this one. i thought the writing was good, pacing was perfect, for a thriller that is important. but the rest was kind of meh for me. i was in a book slump while reading this so that could have been the reason as to why i didn’t love it. however it was good but just not for me.

the book follows brooke who is a girl who cares a lot about her image, perfect grades and wanting everything in her life to be perfect but an incident in the past is threatening all of this, especially when she wants to get into her dream college. i normal like this type of storylines but maybe this one wasn’t for me. however i would still recommend it to anyone who likes a good thriller, ya mystery

I really really loved this!! I love the way that Megan Lally writes and her books always keep me so intrigued! I finished this in one night because I was so so hooked!

Ahhh I absolutely LOVED this and devoured it! Once I started it, I couldn’t stop!! I did not guess the ending at all which I love! I can’t wait to see what else Megan Lally writes because so far I’ve read two of her books and I’m obsessed. This book like the last had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, guessing what was going to happen.

I honestly wouldn’t consider this YA but overall I would recommend this to everyone!! It’s sooooooo good!

I got to read this book as a ARC through #netgalley, the publisher, and the author, Megan Lally. This was 264 pages and I read it fairly quickly. I absolutely never would’ve expected the ending. ALOT of the book resonated with me and reminded me of the betrayal and the disappointment when fighting with friends and how hard it is to be a teenager. Jena and Brooke’s friendship brought back plenty of memories of losing friends and I truly could feel her hurt and her disappointment. I actually loved Dylan’s character and the ending, with him being involved absolutely shocked me. I wanted to love him! This book I think does a great job explaining not only the downside of social media, but also shows an introduction into the schemes and sketchy behind the scenes corruption in (in this case, local) governments. The revelation at the end when you realize everyone had been in on it but Brooke is a really strange realization to come to and everything begins to make sense. As someone who lives true crime and mysteries, I was absolutely shocked I didn’t put everything together sooner. I can’t say I condone Brooke’s handling of the Claire situation, BUT I do understand why she turned to that end result. Teenagers of that age don’t think of ALL the consequences that may follow them forever. If you’re looking for a somewhat toned down thriller, I would absolutely give this a read!

After Megan Lally's debut novel, I knew she would be an auto buy. She has such an interesting way with how she sets up and delivers her stories. You think they're going one way, and just a gut bomb is released. So, so good.

This was completely fast paced and I felt like the page length was the perfect amount. The only gripe I have with this book is that there are a lot of plot holes. I don’t think an added page count would add anything to the story or fill in the gaps. Just take it for what it is, a palate cleanser and enjoy.

Unfortunately, I didn’t connect with this book. Every single character in this book was unlikeable and unreliable, it made the process painful. A rushed ending, infuriating characters and a predictable ending.

I guessed right away what would happen in this book, but it was an interesting enough story that I continued listening. My eyes grew big a couple of times and I couldn't imagine the way these high schoolers lived, but oh well...you get what you get and karma will come around.
