A tense, fast paced suspenseful thriller centered around Brooke, a high school senior from a prominent family. Her legendary parties at her parents' lake house come to a halt after the tragic drowning of Claire, her classmate and nemesis. Now, Brooke is plagued by anonymous calls from a blocked number, demanding she uncover the truth about that fateful night.

Fast-paced murder mystery with several unreliable characters. Fun read; would love to have a little more character development of non-main characters.

4.5 ✨ Thank you Netgalley and Source fire books for my EARC

What if OJ Simpson Bronco was following you so closely for hours would you give up your secrets to escape this death trap on the Hwy?🤔

I would personally give up ALL my secrets 😂 but Brooke wasnt so forthcoming with her secret! You will have to read to find out does she make it or does she crash and burn!?

The plot of this story was nail biting I personally haven’t read a book that’s actively on the Hwy in the middle of nowhere and every time your at the end of a chapter something crazy happens and then you have to go to the past to see what really happened to Claire! Her old best friend and how she died

The back and forth was perfect to me i was extremely entertained and enthralled by the fact i couldn’t guess most of what happened next!

I recommend this to anyone who wants to be on the edge of there seats 💺 but also figuring out what happened in a “Accidental drowning” but we all know nothings accidental!

One thing did happen that gave it away which i will say I’m just a stickler for context clues and i found one!

I will forever be a Megan Lally fan! Cant wait for her next book!!

This was a fast paced Young Adult thriller. It went back and forth from the past to the present. I love books where you can't quite tell what the real story is and you are questioning everyone's motives!

I loved Lally’s debut, That’s Not My Name, and was excited to read her sophomore novel!

No Place Left to Hide is I Know What You Did Last Summer meets Survive the Night. It’s a fast-paced thriller centered around the events at two parties, and it kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I loved the before and now dual timelines and trying to figure out what secrets all the characters were hiding. Our MC is extremely multi-layered, although I can’t say more without spoiling the story.

This story diverges from your typical YA mystery/thriller in interesting and unexpected ways. Definitely recommend!

“No Place Left to Hide” by Megan Lally is an adrenaline-packed YA thriller that takes you on a wild ride filled with suspense, mystery, and morally complex characters. This book pulls you in from the very start with its fast-paced action, tense atmosphere, and a dual timeline that keeps you guessing until the very end. Though the story has its flaws, it’s a gripping, unputdownable read that fans of the thriller genre will enjoy, especially with the way the main character is portrayed, which is so different from standard YA mysteries.

The story centers around Brooke Goodwin, a seemingly perfect high school senior who is haunted by a tragic accident that occurred six months prior. At a party she secretly organized at her family’s lake house, an accident claimed the life of Claire, Brooke’s classmate and nemesis. Now, Brooke is being harassed by anonymous threats and stalked by an unknown assailant. As she prepares to leave for college, Brooke finds herself thrust back into danger when a car chase ensues after yet another party. The question is: who is behind the torment, and will Brooke survive?

Brooke, the protagonist, is far from likeable. Spoiled, privileged, and often ignorant, she is the kind of character that makes it hard to root for her, which is a refreshing twist in a genre that often relies on sympathetic leads. While her upbringing and the pressure to maintain her "golden girl" image explain some of her motivations, her snobbish attitude toward others, especially those less fortunate, makes her difficult to empathize with. Still, her complexity as an unreliable narrator keeps the plot intriguing as you are left piecing together the truth behind her facade.

The pacing of the book is relentless. Once the suspense starts building, it doesn’t stop, and the dual timeline format—switching between "Before" and "Now"—keeps you constantly on edge. Even though some of the twists are predictable, the execution of the story is so thrilling that you’ll likely forgive the plot holes and questionable logic, such as an empty highway during a car chase at 11 p.m. or the ease with which Brooke manages to evade danger. Megan Lally has a knack for keeping readers hooked, making this the kind of book you’ll want to finish in one sitting.

While the mystery behind the stalker is somewhat easy to figure out, the tension throughout the book is palpable. The anonymous calls, slashed tires, and escalating threats contribute to a constant sense of dread. By the time the big twist at the end is revealed, it may not come as a complete surprise, but it’s still satisfying to watch all the pieces fall into place.

There are, however, some shortcomings. The characters, especially Brooke, are not particularly likeable, which might turn off some readers. I found it difficult to get into this book because I didn’t like Brooke at all, but this dislike also motivated me to experience more of the plot to learn more about who Brooke truly is.

Overall, “No Place Left to Hide” is a heart-pounding thriller with a morally grey protagonist and a plot that moves at breakneck speed. While it has some predictability and imperfect characters, the suspense and tension make it a worthwhile read for fans of YA thrillers, especially for someone who is looking for something different.

"That's Not My Name" was a five star read for me, so I was excited to find another book by Megan Lally. Sadly, I found the main character annoying and if I write the two words which describes my pet hate in some authors' recent publications it would be a spoiler.

Loved this from start to finish. I went I to this totally blind. I loved Lally’s debut novel, so I jumped at the chance to read this one. Not a moment of disappointment after all the anticipation because this was fast paced, crazy fun.

Taking place in about the span of a day, we follow Brooke. She is a high school awaiting college acceptance, just trying to make it through until she can leave this place. With everything that happened recently, she is just trying to lay low. Throughout, we get glimpses into the past: the night of the incident that Brooke just wants to leave in the past where it belongs.

Someone doesn’t want her to forget though. She is trying to put on a brave face, but when she is dragged by her best friend to a party, the ride home proves to be a dangerous endeavor. Tailed by someone who becomes increasingly more erratic, Brooke wants to keep herself and her best friend Jena safe. Someone is insistent on making Brooke rehash that horrible night, though.

This was a flipped upside down kind of thriller, keeping me on my toes from start to finish. I loved the characters and all of the craziness they got up to. This was a wild ride and I enjoyed it so much!!!!

This was a fast-paced thrill ride from start to finish. The short chapters with alternating timelines kept the action moving, and there are some deliciously devilish twists. I really enjoyed it.

This book was fantastic!! It was absolutely thrilling. I couldn't put it down! I loved the characters and the journey t

No Place Left to Hide by new to me author Megan Lally is a fantastic read. The story had me right from the start, and all the twists and turns, my o my this end I didn't see coming.
A ya and teens book where nothing is as it seems, a wonderful, suspenseful read that had me on the edge of my seat till the last chapter. I recommend the book.

This was such a fast-paced bingeable read! The author incorporated some of my favorite Thriller tropes and crafted a really engaging storyline.

I thought that this book had a nice balance of twists, mystery and suspense. From start to finish your kind of thrown right into the action and it just keeps going which I really enjoyed. This isn't the kind of book you start late at night unless your willing to forfeit sleep. I also loved that the author chose to tell this story through a dual timeline format.

Overall this was just a really enjoyable read and I think it's worth checking out if your enjoy YA Thrillers.

Thank you Megan Lally, Net Galley and Sourcebooks Fire for providing me with an ARC of this book!

There’s an incident at Brookes lake house & somebody dies. There are some people that blame her and begin stalking and anonymously harassing her. Then, after another party, they start following her in the car.

With this one, I knew who the stalkers were most of the time, but it is still very high suspense. I wasn’t sure if she would survive or not, won’t spoil if she does survive or not. It had my heart racing for a bit too.

There’s also a twist at the end that I didn’t really expect.

I feel like this would be a good horror/thriller movie due to the creepy nature of it all and high suspense if it were to be adapted into a movie.

Thank you to netgalley for this free advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Look, I'm all for a surprise twist, but changing everything fundamental about your main character at 82% isn't so much a twist as a detonation.

If Megan Lally writes it, I will read it! Her debut was a five star read for me and though her second book is very different, it’s just as good! I loved the way this story was told in alternating chapters between before and now. The dual timeline added so much to the way the story unfolded! I found this to be a very compulsive read. I finished it during a late night reading marathon after I found myself unable to put it down!

I feel like this is a story I can’t say much about without giving something away! The less you know going in, the better. Let’s just say, Megan Lally really is in her villain era with Brooke’s character! If you enjoy YA thrillers, you need to grab this one.

I freaking love Megan Lally thrillers. So impeccably written, this one does such a fantastic job of kicking around your heart until it feels like its battered. It is so vicious, both subtly and overly so, and it was incredible to watch it unfold.

4.5 stars - This book was a crazy, non-stop ride that made me feel like I could not trust anyone. I flew through it and read it in a day. The diabolical characters made it so fun to read. The alternating timelines kept the book moving at a fast pace and was easy to understand.

Do not sleep on Megan Lally! Both of her books are so good. Big fan and look forward to reading anything else she writes!

Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Fire for providing me with an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE was a fast paced thriller from Megan Lally, whose first novel (THAT’S NOT MY NAME) was a surprisingly excellent debut. This one didn’t live up to expectations, as its plot was extremely linear and the twists out of left field. Despite the flashbacks, the story evolved in a way where the character motivations felt unexplained, which left the entire story a bit hollow. That said, Lally constructs a well written story, so I’ll keep an eye out for her next one.

Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the opportunity to read and review NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE.

I was really excited at the prospect of reading this book, so I was delighted when SOURCEBOOKS Fire sent me the ARC I had requested. Many thanks for that.

This story was a wild ride (in SO MANY more ways than one!) The action is unrelenting, and the storytelling flows really well. Think Mean Girls crossed with the Final Girl trope and you will have some idea of what I am talking about.

Brooke Goodwin has it all - ambition, wealth, popularity and a best friend who always has her back. So all she really needs to worry about is getting into Yale in order to get her demanding parents off her case. Well, that *and* the weird messages she's been receiving on her phone from a blocked number...

Because Brooke knows her parents will never forgive her if she screws up again, the way she did when she used one of their properties to host an illegal party where someone died. But who is behind these messages and what do they actually want from her?

This will be a hit with anyone who enjoys young adult stories that combine mystery, action and larger than life characters and I think most readers will enjoy this one. I certainly did!

Thank you, Sourcebooks Fire for the copy of No Place Left To Hide by Megan Lally. The problem with reading a debut.like I did last year when I read That’s Not My Name, is the disappointment when the second book doesn’t measure up. This book was the opposite of a disappointment, and I gobbled it up! I am a long way from my teenage years but that didn't stop me from getting involved in the characters’ lives. If you’re looking for a fast engrossing book with writing that ratchets up the tension to unbearable levels, don’t miss this one! 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
