🌟3.5 stars🌟

This was such a wild ride!! I was angry and upset but it wrapped up perfectly. Never thought I'd like Claire but oh well...

This book is about Brooke. She is in high school, she is the queen bee and its almost certain that she will go to Yale. But she missed the early admissions because of an event that happened at a party.

It reminded me a bit of Run on Red but i dnfd that book and i actually liked this book. This was a fast read. I dont think this is so twisty and all that but if you want a quick, heart throbbing thriller, then this is perfect for you!


ALSOOO THIS BOOK WAS MY FIRST EVER ARC!!!!! Im so so so grateful to receive this arc. i always dreamed of receiving arcs and a dream came true!

im really thankful to Sourcebooks Fire and Netgalley for providing an e-arc of this book in exchange of my honest thoughts!

This book had was SO fast paced and had me on the edge of my seat until the very end!! The past present timeline had me hooked and the ending had me saying WTH! The way the book was written was 5 stars from me. However, the characters were just not likable and I felt like I had no one to root for. Twisty and suspenseful for sure though! 4 stars ⭐️ many thanks to NetGalley for sharing this YA Thriller advanced digital copy with me in exchange for my honest thoughts.

This was a fun read with some an interesting main character. Brooke isn't like many of the other characters I read in a main character role so it was a refreshing take. The story is told through dual timelines: Before and Now which provides the author the perfect way to give the reader the perfect amount of info at the right time throughout the story. The author could have gone in a few different directions with this one, but I really enjoyed the way she chose to go. I felt like the ending was a good way of wrapping things up in a quick and easy way rather than adding multiple more pages or chapters to ensure things were clear enough. I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys YA thrillers and will definitely be checking out this author's work in the future, as I loved her previous novel as well.

I was super excited to be chosen as an early reader of this book because I loved Megan Lally’s debut book, That’s Not My Name. While Lally’s relatable, succinct writing style remains in this new book, the draw and heart that the first book had is missing in this one. Pretty much all of the characters are unlikeable, which made the book drag at times. I did see the final reveal coming before it did, but I enjoyed seeing how it played out.

This book wasn’t my favorite, but Megan Lally is a solid writer and I’d definitely give her books a shot!

This was such a fun thriller. I have been on a huge YA kick when it comes to my thriller and horror reads and this book fits right in and was fantastic. I love how the author encompassed teenagers so well. They were older teenagers in the book. They’re not quite adults and unable to make fully adult decisions, but they aren’t new teenagers either. I have found that this is a difficult age to pin down, and this author did a good job. The suspense in this book was great, all the way up to the big reveal. Then the reveal was not unexpected but still well done. The pacing was fast and held my attention. This is a book I didn’t want to put down, I just wanted to keep going. I ended up binging this book one afternoon and finished in a couple of hours.

This was my first book by this author, but it won’t be the last. Check this one out if you want a pulse-pounding thriller.

Thank you to @sourcebooksfire the author @megan_lally_ and @netgalley for the e-arc. All thoughts are my own.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.

I devoured this in two sittings because I couldn’t wait to find out who was behind it. I did guess correctly about half-way through, but I didn’t see the additional twist coming. I see several people saying how unlikable the characters are, but I liked them. Overall, a deliciously twisty YA thriller, and I look forward to more from this author.

Megan KNOWS how to write a suspenseful book. From start to finish I was hooked.
The storyline was great, the scenes were so descriptive but weren't dragged on. She made you like and hate characters.
The twist was great, although a little predictable, I still didn't guess the other part of the twist.

I will definitely be reading more of Megan's books and now I'm off to add That's Not My Name to my wishlist.

Just shy of a 5⭐ read for me. It raised some eyebrows but no outloud gasps 🤭

Thanks to @netgalley and @megan_lally_ for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fast pace, can’t put down, full of adrenaline book. While some of the plot twists are expected/noticeable before the reveal it doesn’t take away from the book or the thrill at all, and there were definitely some things I wasn’t expecting. My first read from this author and will definitely be looking to read more from her including her first book.

The descriptions were perfect where I could vividly imagine the scenes playing out in my head and I can often have difficulty with that. It was refreshing to have a book not thick with overwhelming descriptors but enough to get you in the scene and following along well.

In a reading slump? This book will help pick you out of it
Need a quick read to hit your reading goal? You’ll finish this book quickly wanting to know what’s next.

Definitely a book I’ll be looking to pick up a printed copy of come release day.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for an advanced copy of this book for my honest review/feedback.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

No Place Left to Hide follows Brooke Goodwin, an image obsessed student at a prestigious private high school harboring secrets about an incident that ended her classmate's life. Brooke is receiving threats from someone who wants her to confess the truth, and the more she ignores them, the more serious they get.

Brooke felt unlikeable from the beginning, but so did all of the other characters as they all seemed very two dimensional. The plot was fast paced and easy to read, but it felt predictable and surface level. This is an enjoyable enough popcorn read if you gravitate toward YA thrillers, but it isn't something I would go out of my way to recommend. 2 stars⭐️

oh my god? This was so creepy! I really like how she writes her books. It‘s not a crazy plot twist that comes out of nowhere. You get to figure things out as you read along and thats just so good.
Loved the academic setting, the friendships and the past and present chapters were perfect!
I‘m really excited to get my hands on a physical copy next year & I can not wait for more books from this author! I love how fast paced they are! The way she writes just keeps me on the edge of my seat!! The biggest thanks to netgalley and the publisher that I got to read the arc for this!

This book had me hooked from the beginning. I started this around 7:00pm and finished it by 10:45pm. I could not put it down. The plot is fantastic, with twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. Overall, it's a fast paced story that you will remember long after the last page is turned, making it a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers. I truly enjoyed this book and I am so grateful to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC copy! After reading two of Megan’s books, I can easily say I will read any future books she writes!

Loved Megan Lally's debut YA mystery and this one was really good as well! I can't wait for the audiobook and I really hope it's the same narrator as that narrator did such a fabulous job really getting you into the story and all the twists and turns! Would definitely recommend for those who liked "A Good Girls Guide to Murder" series.

I really enjoyed this one! I loved the author’s first book and her second one lived up to the hype for me too. Such a fun thriller with twist after twist. Honestly, I didn’t see a lot of it coming. It was a perfect vacation read for me!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the eARC.

I really enjoyed Megan Lally's first novel, and was so excited to be approved for this one. The length of this was just right. The tension in the current timeline was just right. However, the storyline, the characters, the twists, none of it was for me. Perhaps I was not the target audience is relevant to this, but I really just found myself so not into any of it.

I was a huge fan of Megan Lally’s debut novel and could not wait for her second one! It did not disappoint! I was completely shocked with the twist!

This is my second book by Megan Lally and this was just as amazing as the first one. I was hooked instantly and would read this every second I got a chance, cooking cleaning, rocking my baby to sleep, I couldn't put it down!

wow, megan lally does it again! this book was good. it’s told in two timelines, past and present, and builds up to a very twisted ending. this book kept me on edge the entire time. each chapter leads with anticipation and reveals crucial evidence for the big ending. the writing is very addicting and twisty, you can’t help but to come up with your own theories and guess the next move. although it’s a suspenseful thriller, it was actually quite fun and very hard to put down!

the fmc was insufferable and while i was on her side for a short while, i grew to hate her by the end. some character details were a bit redundant but it further emphasized their personalities, so it didn’t bother me too much.

with the many twists and turns of the plot, i liked the sprinkle of details that slowly reveal who brooke’s stalker is. although it was easy to scope out those details, it made the revelations twice as exciting.

i thought the way the book closed was very unique and i liked the formatting of it! i wish there was also a more detailed pov from any of the characters. an epilogue, maybe?

overall, i really enjoyed this book! i’d highly recommend to thriller lovers and even those who are just starting to get into the genre.

thank you to sourcebooks fire, netgalley, and megan lally for providing me with an arc in exchange for my honest review!

4.5/5 stars

Thank you to Sourcebooks and Netgalley for an advanced e-arc of this book. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2025 and it DID NOT disappoint.

General Description: Brooke Goodwin is on her redemption arc. After an accident at her party in September, she's finally going to make her parents proud by getting into Yale. Of course, she has to celebrate with her friends. And of course, she lies to her parents about the party. It doesn't matter that someone has been harassing her about the accident over the past few months, Brooke deserves a break. On the way home from the party, after a scary encounter at said party, it seems the harasser is finally ready to actually pressure Brooke to make a decision: tell the truth about the accident, or die. What will Brooke do, especially with her best friend in the passenger seat, going 90 miles an hour in the dark, and with no cell service. Will Brooke walk away alive?

The goods:
- I was actually scared during some of the scenes, which I feel like hasn't happened in a thriller in a while.
- I did not see any of the twists coming at all. The characters have you on your toes the entire time.
- I feel like this was a departure from That's Not My Name in the best way. It wasn't a recycled story line and felt unique. I don't think I've read a thriller like this in a minute.
- This was an extremely fast paced read that I wish did not end.

The loss of a half-star:
- I just wish it wrapped up a bit better. I feel like I still had questions at the end. I thought the ending was creative, but I wish it was just a bit clearer.

Overall, if you're looking for a fast-paced, heart-pounding, and twisty thriller, this should definitely be on your 2025 TBR.

Lally's first book was going to be tough to top. While I didn't love this one AS much, it was still really well done. A wonderful sophomore read. The story kept me on my toes-I loved the build up! Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

3.5/4stars.

Thank you to Net Galley for giving me the opportunity to read this as an ARC book. I was so excited when I got accepted for this as I loved That's not my name. This book was great it was really creepy and I think it has a great story line, as a second book I think Megan Lally did a really great job with it and defiantly worth a read!
I didn't think it was AS good as That's Not My Name however I think it is a really tough book to top as it was 10/10! This was still a great book and I did really enjoy it.

I loved the storyline more as it progressed and the wild chase was so good! I do personally wish it was a little more shocking as I could see how it would all end up from a mileee away. For me, it was very obvious what was going to happen right by the beginning and nothing really surprised me at all, however being said it is still a great book that I think will surprise a lot of people, I think it is a great YA thriller! Great Job!
