I'm a HUGE fan of Lally's debut book I actually made it a traveling book in my book club) , but No Place Left to Hide fell very short in comparison. The biggest hurdle was the inconsistent pacing - I just couldn't get over it. The conclusion felt extremely rushed but the beginning of the story moved slowly. The characters were not likable or relatable. There is a part that's bugging me but I don't want to spoil anything. The twist at the end was semi-redeeming. This was my most anticipated upcoming read and sadly I'm walking away disappointed. It hurts to give this less than 3 stars but it earned a solid 2. Thank you to NetGalley for offering this title in their catalog. The opinions expressed above are entirely my own.

Megan Lally's No Where Left to Hide is a gripping story about survival and the challenges of facing danger. The main character is relatable and well-developed, making her struggles feel real and engaging.
Megan's writing pulls you in, balancing suspense with moments of self-reflection. The pacing is just right—there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked. Each character adds something unique to the story, creating a rich backdrop for the main plot.
Overall, No Where Left to Hide is a thrilling read that combines excitement with deeper themes about trust and resilience. It’s a great choice for fans of psychological thrillers, and I can't wait to see what Megan writes next.

I really enjoyed the audio of Megan Lally's last book. So, I was really excited when I got approved for this ARC! It didn't disappoint. While I did figure out some of the twists and turns, it was still a really fun ride!

3.0

Setting: Oregon
Rep: n/a

I was really excited to get approved for this on Netgalley after Megan Lally's first book was a five star. Unfortunately this one felt a lot more generic to me - I found the characters to be so annoying and unlikeable that I didn't really care what happened, and most of the twists were pretty predictable. However it did keep my attention and it was a great example of slowly revealing more of a character until by the end they are virtually unrecognisable from the start.

*I was kindly gifted this ARC through Net Galley*

3.75/5
I really liked this story, I couldn't put this book down!
The dual timeline was really interesting and it added a layer of intrigue, allowing me to piece together the puzzle as the book bounced between past and present.
Even though I managed to guess part of the plot twist, it didn't diminish my enjoyment. The characters are well-developed, and their motivations add depth to the story, keeping you invested until the very last page.

Ahhhhhhhh!!! I read Megan Lally's debut earlier this year, That's Not My Name, and it was a "one sitting" read. I WISH I was able to read this book in one sitting.

The back and forth of the timelines was done so well, and I love a good unreliable character (who do you think it is???)

Highly recommend pre-ordering this book, or picking it up once it's published in January 2025.

Thank you Sourcebooks Fire for the eARC through Netgalley!

I really liked this one! After reading her debut novel, I had high hopes for this one and it didn't disappoint. I thought it was a fast paced, interesting story that had a good length to it. I do with we had a little bit more at the end, as i feel like the story was kind of truncated and i wish there was more closure, but overall i would give it a 4.25/5!
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced copy of this book!

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of Megan Lally's first book ('That's Not my Name') so I requested this title as soon as I saw it on NetGalley and it didn't disappoint.

Brooke is obsessed with perfection - getting into Yale, protecting the family reputation, being the top in her class... but what price is she willing to pay to maintain this reputation? How much will her ambition cloud her judgement?

Secrets, lies, friendship and family ties all unravel as we learn the truth of what really happened the night Brooke's former best-friend died. Who can be trusted?

No place left to hide ARC review
4/5⭐️

Brooke Goodwin is one of the most affluential people in Waldorf Prep, not only does she come from a long line of well accomplished, established people, she too is always focused on how to get ahead in life. Is there a line she won’t cross? Or will someone stand in her way of getting what’s rightfully hers?

This book had me feeling like I was back in high school, living, breathing and seeing the drama! There’s (huge) personality clashes, crushes, goals to accomplish, Ivy Leagues, friendships and curfews all through out this book, oh and of course the parties, the insane twists and turns, and some extremely hard decisions made too. Just as I thought I had this book figured out, it threw me a curve ball, then one after another I was left flipping the pages and trying to pick my jaw up off the ground. The ending did NOT disappoint. As the second read from Megan Lally, she’s quickly becoming one of my faves and an auto buy author for me 🥰

Thank you Sourcebooks Fire and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A chilling mystery Thriller! I was not ready for such a fun YA mystery Thriller but this delivered beyond me expectations. I just cannot explain how I feel without wanting to share the whole book

No Place Left To Hide is mind-blowing! The back and forth between the past and the present is perfect - it builds up tension and pressure

Loved the pacing of the book but I was able to figure out who the stalkers were so not a full 5 stars

Really enjoyed this one!! Was definitely not what I was expecting as far as the plot. I did figure out some things but not others. Was a fun thrill ride!

This is my first thriller by Lally and, wow, she kept me turning the pages! While this young adult novel had plot holes and only hateful characters, there were some surprising reveals that did keep me guessing. 3.5 stars. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an early digital copy of this book that releases on January 7th, 2025.

Another great book from Megan Lally! I love her last book, and that surprised me considering I don’t read a lot of YA. I was so excited to get approved for No Place Left to Hide! It was a quick, easy read and I really enjoyed it! I’m looking forward to what Lally will do next.

No Place Left to Hide

Mean girls, high school drama, secrets, a stalker, and a dead classmate—this YA thriller has it all! The story alternates between past and present, building tension with every twist. Each chapter ends on a cliffhanger, making it impossible to stop reading. Just when you think you know what’s happening, the timeline shifts, and you’re left guessing again.

Though the plot isn’t entirely new, it’s executed so well that it doesn’t matter. From the start, the atmosphere feels creepy, and the suspense only ramps up. The book is fast-paced and perfectly timed—things get crazy quickly, with a wild mix of mystery and car chases.

The stakes stayed high, and the ending left me shocked. It’s the kind of story that would make an amazing thriller movie.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! If you love high-stakes drama and jaw-dropping twists, this book is for you..

One of those books you pick up and can't put down—seriously, I finished it in a day! Think mean girl drama, a stalker lurking in the shadows, and an unexpected revenge plot. Secrets fly around like confetti, and every twist kept me gasping.

It's fast-paced, young-adult thriller, full of all the juicy drama. If you're into quick, thrill-packed reads where no one’s hands are clean, this one’s a must!

For the most part, I really enjoyed this book! There were parts I felt were a bit predictable and some characters I had my eye on from the start. But the thrilling parts definitely kept me on my toes and had me spooked!

3.5 stars. I enjoyed this book for the most part but it was hard to get into. By the half way point it really picked up and the plot twists were enough to keep me interested till the end.

Oh. My. God. I could not put this book down!!! The plot twist was 100% unexpected. I never knew where the story was going next. The dual time line was very easy to follow & I loved how the last bit of information was given through a group chat with some of the main characters. My jaw was in the floor by the end of this. I love it!!
