Megan Lally has done it again! I absolutely devoured this book.
I loved the before/now timelines and while I predicted one of the twists, it definitely didn’t end like I was expecting.
Thank you NetGalley for the copy!

In this sophomore title from Megan Lally, we are following Brooke during a particularly terrifying night in her senior year.
After "the incident" in September, all Brooke has wanted is to lay low, get into Yale and leave her hometown and the drama that came with it behind.
Unfortunately for her, Unknown Caller has a different plan for her.
What I enjoyed about this book - it moves really fast, the stakes are well established, the characters felt believable for the universe they were in. I liked that no one was super likeable i think it made everything more realistic (despite the slightly absurd plot). Their motivations felt in line with what i knew of each characters.
what I didn't like - there didnt seem to be a strong twist - but its written as if the reveal should have been surprising. I concede this is written for high school age kids and I am an adult who reads a lot of thrillers but this reveal seemed too obvious. I knew way too early on who had to be involved because there was almost no other options.
I think High School me would have loved it, which is why i gave it 4 instead of 3. But after how intense Lally's debut was, I had higher hopes for this title and it was just lacking a bit by comparison.
If you are not a seasoned thriller reader, and/or if you are in high school I think this is a fantastic story - but her first book was just slightly better

Okay, yes, it’s official — I am now a Megan Lally fan!! I absolutely loved her previous book 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙈𝙮 𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙚 and this one was just as good..
I enjoyed the dual timelines, now and before.. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time, and that twist was completely shocking..
Thank you NetGalley for the advanced reader’s copy!

Thanks to Net Galley for early access! This fast paced thriller never has a dull moment! It kept me guessing and was a great book that I will definitely recommend!

>has vigilantes
>has abuse of power
I was on the edge of my seat, throughout almost the entire book. Lally did a great job creating tension in a short time.
I didn’t find the characters all that likable and some were downright easy to hate. They fit the story well though.
I think if you enjoyed That’s Not My Name, you’ll be able to enjoy this one. The intensity is high but for me, TNMN remains the fave between the two.

What a fast- paced, bingeable story! I was immediately hooked and did not want to stop reading. I loved the alternating timelines of the story and how the secrets slowly unraveled. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed Megan Lally's first novel, That;s Not My Name, and was excited to read another novel by her. I don't often read YA thrillers but this kept my attention.
None f the characters were likeable in this book, but I like that in books. Teen drama made this book even better. I did not predict any of the twists in this book and was constantly rooting for different characters. The car chase felt a little long and some stupid moves on all sides were made. So suspending your belief and going for the ride makes this book enjoyable. I lived in a Oregon for a few years so I loved the setting and the their descriptions. Not getting signal in the woods is something that happened to me for miles so the main character being scared was something I understood.
I would highly recommend this book and I would continue to read from this author as she at the top of her game for YA thrillers.

I wanted to love this YA thriller, but by the end, I just liked it. Great premise- Brooke, spoiled, entitled ,rich high school senior and all the ‘friends’ that go with her, Waldorf, an exclusive high school, lake front vacation homes and parents who only care about their image. Put this all together and you get a pretty good thriller, but by the middle, it was so predictable.
This story is told in two timelines, today and a few months earlier when it all started when Brooke hosts an end of summer party at her family’s lake front home and tragedy strikes, ending in the death of another student. Brooke’s father is in line for a judgeship in their town, and he will do anything to protect his family’s image, at any cost. Today, Brooke is attending a party at another lake home, to celebrate her getting into Yale, and this is where the trouble starts.
Maybe I’ve just read so many thrillers that I was able to figure this out, but for a new YA reader of this genre, it can be a great read. The story was a quick read, full of action and twists and turns (literally, towards the end!).
3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4
Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This thriller was fast paced and you didn’t want to put it down before you figured out what was going on BUT the characters were all difficult to like.
The story line had a lot of holes in it. Things didn’t always make sense.
Brooke comes from a high society family in a smaller town. She doesn’t go out since something happened a year ago. What happened and who did it is the basis of this book. I really liked how the author laid out everything for us as BEFORE and NOW. I would have rated it higher but I didn’t feel any connection with the characters and didn’t love the ending.
Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks for this ARC. I am definitely wanting to check out other books by this author. I really enjoyed the writing style.

Another outstanding book by Megan Lally. This was so hard to put down. I will be recommending to customers.
Many thanks for my gifted copy.

What a group of unlikeable characters! The plot was a bit out of range of realistic but over all it was a good read nothing fantastic or twist and turning like I like but still worth a shot. I personally feel the ending is what kept me going and even enjoying this in the end

Yet another page turner that I couldn’t put down from Megan Lally! Her debut, That’s Not My Name, set high standards for me, and this book did not disappoint. I was on the edge of my seat for three quarters of the book. The characters were really easy to get connected to (even if they are slightly dislikable snobs), the setting was unique, and the suspense was killer. The only reason this did not get 5 stars was because there were some plot points that felt a little *too* unbelievable to me.
This book definitely has left me with conflicting emotions about the ending and the characters involved. Very easy to get through and I would recommend this read to anyone who enjoys a fast paced thriller!

This fast-paced YA thriller keeps you hooked with its dual timelines—Now and Before. While the twist may not be a huge shock, the story is still an incredibly enjoyable ride. It blends suspense with crazy moments that fans of YA thrillers will appreciate. I’ll definitely be recommending this to anyone looking for an entertaining and quick read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an advanced reader's copy.

Ok now I get it! I heard so much hype about Megan Lally’s first book ‘ That’s no my Name’ so when I received the ARC for her second book ‘No Place Left to Hide’ I was super excited!
I couldn’t put it down and when I did I was waiting till I could pick it up again! The only reason it wasn’t a 5 star read was the last chapter (when you read it you might know what I mean)
I can’t wait to see more from Megan, I know it will be high on my TBR!

You know how you get so immersed in a book that you feel connected to the characters? Those times when you are truly invested in what happens to them. Those books that keep you on edge. Taking you on the adventure with them.
This isn't that book. You will not care one bit what happens to the pretty horrible people in this book. And to be so horrible as a teen...where do you go from there? Brooke is obnoxious even when she is trying to be charming. She worries more about her clothes than her friends. She's rich and uses her family to get what she wants. But then so is her nemesis. There are no winners and no losers between them.
It was a quick read and a little predictable. But not a terrible way to spend a few hours.

Wow- this author has blown my mind again with another 5 star read. She is another author that I will be putting on my must read list without reading the plot to the book.

Soooo I’m shocked and my head hurts. I loved this and loved this author. Keep reading more and I would recommend because this book is SO GOO.

I really could not get enough of this YA thriller - it kicks off right in the beginning and from the first page, it's a fast paced, page turning, suspense filled ride. I loved the dual timeline of the back and forth between months earlier events, and current day. This story is about Brooke Goodwin, she's perfect in all the ways - great looks, good grades, and extracurricular achiever - all seems golden in Brooke's world - except for 6 months ago, an incident happened and it shook Brooke's world. A boat accident during a party at her parents lake house, which took the life for her former friend turned enemy, Claire. Claire's brother blames Brooke - and ever since that day she's been getting anonymous phone calls and threats - so when 6 months later she attends her first party since the events took place, she starts to be followed home, Brooke is finally faced with the truth, and so are others around her.
This was an amazing book from start to finish - I couldn't get enough of this characters, the story line, the shocking twists. I was completely engrossed, never bored, and couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out what happens next!

Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this book pre-release. I really had a great time reading this one. Ms. Lally has a great ability to write unlikable characters, and make you still feel invested in what's going to happen next to them. It gave off similar vibes to PLL & Mean Girls, but with a IKWYDLS twist. 3.5 stars

What a book! First, thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ebook in advance. Second, thanks to the author for such an awesome read! The story is about a group of high schoolers in their senior year. It jumps between the present and a party the main character, Brooke, throws at her lake house. The story unfolds as Brooke gets numerous harassing calls from an unknown number. You’ll have to read the story to see who the bad guy truly is, how far your friends and family will go to protect (or throw you under the bus.)
