#NoPlaceLefttoHide

4,.5/5 ⭐️ I read this book in one sitting. It was so suspenseful and the story had me guessing from the first page. I really couldn’t put it down. Normally I think that the changes between past and present tend to disturb the plot but in this book both parts were equally tensive. I did see the plot twist coming but I really enjoyed this book ☺️

4.75 stars! Face paced. Totally captivating. Heart stopping.

This is definitely an action packed read. If you like Megan Lally’s last novel, That’s Not My Name, buckle up for the ride of Brooke’s life (literally). I completely devoured this book over the span of two nights. I stayed up super late last night because I absolutely could not put it down. This thriller is nonstop suspense and jaw dropping twists and turns. As someone who reads a lot, I find a lot of thriller/suspense plots pretty easy to figure out but this one… DUDE THIS ONE! From beginning to end, I had no idea what was going to come next. I felt every moment of moment and seized breath that Brooke did in this story. I have found that YA thriller/suspense books are more enjoyable for me than traditional adult ones.

100% recommend this book to readers who want to dip their toes into thriller books and seasoned readers alike! I took a tiny bit off of my rating because I felt like the ending wrapped up a bit too abruptly and left me a lot of unanswered questions. However, the overall conclusion was satisfying. Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for this arc.

To start off: it wasn’t a bad book, but I did not like it, like I thought I would… and honesty, I do not think I am the target audience. If I had been younger I would have probably devoured it.
Because of this: I didn’t want to give feedback at first - but I will be as honest as I can.

1) The characters were all awful people. Especially the main character was an entitled brat in my opinion. The holier than thou mindset- I was not rooting for her.
I could not care about any of them and because of the characters, If this wasn’t a ARC, I would have DNF’d the book.

2) The plot itself is still enticing, while still a little predictable. The writing style is nice and easy to read and she has a fun way of working the story.
It’s a well written high school revenge story. Like I said I was rooting for the other team.

Overall a solid book, just not my cup of tea.

Megan Lally did it again!! I read That’s Not My Name & I HAD to read another one of Megan’s books ASAP, so when I saw she was releasing No Place Left to Hide I could not wait to read it. I’m so appreciative that I was able to read an ARC of yet another amazing book. Like I say about all the books I read I love trying to predict the outcome and when I tell you the gasp that escaped my mouth at the ending of this book was so loud I’m not even joking BECAUSE NO WAY was that the ending I was expecting. Amazing job Megan, I look forward to reading more books by you!!!!!

Fast-paced, break-neck plot speed makes for a quick read.

I liked the back and forth - giving us the previous story along with the current. I liked getting to know the characters in both the past and the present and pulling everything together. But what a pile of unlikable characters. I definitely found the plot stretched what I thought was realistic, however, the story definitely did deliver an entertaining and frustrating read!

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

No Place Left to Hide : Megan Lally ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (I would give it more stars if I could

I was so excited to be approved for Megan Lally's second novel.! This is the kind of book you can devour in 2 sittings, maybe one. I don't normally enjoy YA but I happily made an exception and I was not disappointed.

Senior Brooke is laying low after an "incident" at her party. She's finally been accepted to the university of her dreams so she decides to celebrate after a long party hiatus. The boy she has fawned over for years will be attending so theres no way she'll miss it. All the while Brook is getting threatening texts and even had her tires slashed. Now on her way home she is being tailgated home and there is no place left to hide until she admits "the truth"

(Spoiler: I love the unreliable narrator aspect of this book. I was COMPLETELY SHOOOK,)

No place left to Hide by Megan Lally

I just have to shout out to that dedication page! Hilarious and I loved diving right in to this! Megan Lally, well done!

This book was an insanely addictive read, flipping pages furiously like a crazy person to see what happened next.

Brooke Goodwin has her sights set on Yale, with her father being a local judge and failure not bringing Goodwin name down, Brooke has the ultimate expectations set to not mess up, however her past has been creeping behind her when someone dies at her lake house. The incident is threatening to rear its ugly head as she has tried to moved past it. As she has worked to leave the past behind someone is following her around to make her never forget.

This was a fantastic read! I loved the fast paced story line and an awful villian agenda! What a crazy good book! Loved it!

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks for this ARC!

I want to say thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!

What can I say? Megan did it again! I was in full suspense with this book. I loved the pacing, the mystery, and the thrills. The whole premise was super interesting too. I was delighted with the ending. I honestly had a pure hatred for the main character. Megan wrote this book well. Please buy it when it is released in 2025!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this title so I could provide an honest review.

Think Mean Girls but with a thriller twist. As Brooke continues to work towards her lofty goals of Yale after high school, she is haunted by something that happened in her past. The story of three girls and their friendship ends up with them dealing with a death mixed with questionable morals and of course, boys. I read this book quickly because I needed to get to the bottom of who knew what and who my compassion would fall towards. I struggled with who I sided with page by page. What decisions would you make to keep your secrets safe and what happens when there is No Place to Hide?

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!

**Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy in exchange for a fair and honest review**

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
