3.5 stars.
I really enjoyed this. For onem i thought the characters were very believably teenagers. Insufferable, yes, but it made sense.
The dual time line made the story more addictive, and the even if i guessed the plot twist, i was very into it while reading.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 rounded up to 4. The first 80 pages of this book was so unbelievably slow, once you get to the part where they are being chased it’s identical to the book Run on Red. The twist at the end was absolutely crazy. Thank you NetGalley for this ebook!

When I heard that Megan Lally was releasing a new book, I dropped everything. My phone, my drink, and whatever else I was carrying hit the floor as I ran straight to request this book. You all know how obsessed I am with her first book, so you know I was hyperventilating as I tried to find this. Then I opened my email and there it was. I let out a blood curdling scream that could have woke the dead.

Let me tell you, Megan does not disappoint. If you thought her first book was shocking then you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into with this one. Holy s**t! I’m speechless. While they are both different in their own ways, they both are incredible. She certainly knows how to capture the readers attention and leave you guessing right up until the end.

Even though some of the characters are bitches, you can’t help but become obsessed with their lives and what they are up to. You also find yourself rooting for evil. It’s weird but that’s where I was. All that played a hand in the story were all wicked and wow, I’m amazed.

No Place Left to Hide was one hell of a thriller. It kept me guessing right up until the end. Then the end shocked me in ways I couldn’t believe. I think I have found a new favorite author!!

“No Place Left to Hide” could be described as “Mean girl gets her comeuppance”. It’s definitely an emotional thriller.

Perfect Brooke Goodwin: aspiring Yale attendee, student council president, dance team captain, prom committee, principal’s pet (and daughter). And haunted by something she calls “the incident. A jealous queen bee and rival named Claire drowned while at Brooke’s illicit party at the family lake house six months ago. Brooke was officially exonerated of any responsibility, but she’s been harassed for months by anonymous “No Caller ID” on the phone and continuing physical damage to her car and locker. One possible suspect is Claire’s unstable brother Brandon, but could it be someone else?

Returning from a celebratory party on the coast, Brooke and best friend Jena are being tailed by a Bronco pushing them up to super high speeds on a dark twisty, potholed road with no cell service for 40 miles. Just before they lost their phone connection, “No Caller ID” admitted in a disguised voice that he was in the Bronco and wanted Brooke to “confess” or get pushed off the road.

Brooke isn’t super likable (she’s spoiled, snobby, and bossy), but with the story told in first person POV, we get a lot of insight into her self-aware pressure-filled, high achieving world. The road rage part of the story is terrifying and exhilarating — you know Brooke might be guilty of something, but that doesn’t mean that she and Jena deserve to die in a fiery death.

There was a lot to digest as the story continued, and when everything gets so uncomfortable, it would have been easy to bail. Yet I was still engrossed until the end, although I can’t quite say I was satisfied with the conclusion. 3.5 stars.

Brooke Goodwin lives under pressure. Aspiring to get accepted to Yale has her cramming her schedule with extracurricular activities at her exclusive high school. Added to that, her parents are a principal and a powerful lawyer, who push her excellence. Remarkably enough, Brooke didn’t crumble after a party she threw at her family’s lake house. An incident there left one of her classmates dead. A mysterious person still harasses her, blaming for what happened at her party.
Friends persuade Brooke, newly cautious, to venture to the Oregon coast for another party. But this puts her under pursuit by her stalker in a massive stretch of wooded wilderness with no cell service.
While Megan Lally’s previous novel starts off with a bang, No Place Left to Hide takes a while to get rolling. It follows Brooke's story in two timelines. Despite the slow start, I grew to appreciate the setup. The story took me on a ride that will have me thinking about it long afterwards. 4 stars and definitely recommended.

This was an easy read right from the beginning! It picked up even more halfway through and kept me turning the pages quickly! I wasn't expecting the twist at the end! Thanks for the ARC Sourcebooks Fire & NetGalley!!

The back and forth between the past and the present is perfect, it builds up tension and pressure.
It's also so addicting! I read it in one day!!
it was the perfect sit down and read type of book pulling me in and making me HAVE to complete it so keep that in mind when you start reading!!

I have been ranting and raving about one of my favourite books of 2024- That’s not my name by Megan Lally. I have been so keen to read another book by this author, and Netgalley came through with the goods!

No place left to hide was a mean girls thriller, it kept me guessing and had me on the edge of my seat. I loved that this one was such a visual book, it painted such a picture in my mind because of the setting/ masks worn and I loved letting my imagination run wild. It was definitely more of a YA read than I found that’s not my name to be. Lots of high school drama and mean girl antics.

I felt it could’ve had more side characters in this one, just to make the mysteries a bit more of a guessing game.

Overall a really enjoyable read

Wow! Thank you for my copy of this book!! This is my first read from this author and I LOVED it!! Definitely left my review on goodreads, and will now be looking for more from her!!

This is supposed to be ya, but I devoured this book! I felt so sorry for the poor teen, basically being blackmailed. 😭 this was an amazing book, and it's not too far fetched, something like this could absolutely happen. The twist at the end was great! Highly recommend.

This was a great thrilling read! I read this in one sitting and was not going to stop until I got to the end! Of course, the twist had me shaking my head. This is a YA and I am not normally a fan of YA but this one had me captivated. A teen was involved in an incident at a party and was blackmailed for this! The "blackmailer" kept on and on would not give poor Brooke a break. Brooke is trying to keep all of the details of the "incident" quite so that it does not ruin her chances at college and the life her family has set out before her. If the truth was revealed it could destroy her!

I binge-read this book in one sitting and I'm still reeling! The mystery hooked me from the start, and even though I figured it out pretty early, there were so many twists and layers that kept me curious.

But here's the thing - I didn't really like any of the characters? They all seemed super self-centered and fake. And honestly, I think that's exactly what the author was going for.

The ending felt a bit rushed, leaving some loose ends. An epilogue would've been awesome but overall, this book delivered exactly what I craved. I'm still thinking about it, and that's a win in my book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Damn . Who would have thought. But to be fair I was low key sure about someone
I finished this book in one setting SO fast paced SO fun !!! I was both scared and intrigued and scared at the same time like you’re scared nut you wanna know what’s gonna happen at the same time I was on the end my seat scared for my life
The writing was so good the ability of the author to make the reader think the absolute opposite of what a character is actually is is INSANE , even though I wanted more of the ending but the book was so so good , and about the content there was nothing inappropriate at all besides cursing so if you are looking for a thriller with now explicit scenes or inappropriate content this is the perfect book for you

I really enjoyed the first book by this author. But I don’t think I enjoyed this one as much. I liked it and it definitely kept me in suspense but it just didn’t hit like the first book.

I am really impressed with the way this author writes. I loved, loved, loved her first book. This one was different and while the characters were whoa, out there and mostly unlikeable, I enjoyed the story a lot.
Even though I did figure out early on the blackmail scheme. But while that was easy peasy, what I did not expect was the reveal when everything was out in the open. Just glad this wasn't my high school experience. I did feel sorry for Brooke though. She comes from this long line and has her future chosen for her. I can't imagine living in a family like that. Still...she was a really craopy friend.

I truly enjoy Megan Lally and the way she writes.

No Place Left to Hide is fast paced and so twisty. The moment I thought I knew; I was proven wrong. This is a dual timeline which is not my favorite as it can be confusing at times, but the author did a good job differentiating between the timelines. I found myself very intrigued by and invested in both timelines which is rare for me. Quick easy read considered a Young Adult Thriller, but still very enjoyable.

I'm conflicted.. I can't say I loved this book like Megan's first novel, but I don't hate it. Would I pick it up again for another read? No. Would I recommended it? Possibly.

The story involves high school students, high school drama, murder, and stalking. The main character is Brooke - a high school student whose life is changed after an incident occured at one of her parties. We follow Brooke as she gets threatening phone calls, slashing her car tires, and sticking newspaper clippings about the incident to her car. She goes to her first high school party in six months and on the way home, she's followed while the person following her calls her to threaten her.

Overall, some of the characters were unlikable and some of the characters changed drastically in personality from the beginning of the book. While I did enjoy the first half of the book, towards the end it felt rushed. It also seemed out of character for some of the characters to do certain things.

My rating 3.0 stars.

Thank to NG & Sourcebooks Fire for the ARC copy.

"No Place Left to Hide" is a young adult thriller novel by Megan Lally. Brooke is a senior in high school, hoping to get into Yale and to be able to leave the past behind. A year ago she was involved in an accident that killed a classmate, who happened to be a former friend and a rival of Brooke's. Brooke has mostly escaped any repercussions due to her wealthy and well placed family in town, but when she and her best friend end up being chased by a masked madman that keeps calling and texting her to come clean about the incident, there is no place left to hide.
A twisty thriller with lots of drama, this is a recommended purchase where YA thrillers are popular.

This book was soooo good. I loved the twist at the end and it was cool to see the two different perspectives of the tailgating. The ending made me hate the main character in the best way.

I thought this book was an excellent read. I couldn’t put it down and read it in less than 2 days. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but am certainly going to read whatever she writes!

3.5 stars ⭐️

Getting into your dream college is cause for a party! Brooke decides to let loose and have some fun with friends, what’s the worst that could happen? I mean it’s not as if she’s being stalked and harassed by someone, who claims they know what really happened the day of the “incident”. If the truth gets out it could ruin everything Brooke’s worked for but that’s no biggie,right?


Shoutout to NetGalley and to the publishers for giving me this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This was a really fun and fast paced read, the dialogue was believable which I feel like can make or break a book especially Y/A. Some of the twists were pretty predictable but I still enjoyed this nonetheless!
