I received an audio version of the ARC from the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was eager to read Megan Tally’s second book since I enjoyed the first one so much. This book definitely is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I was always eager to listen to what was going to happen next. This book felt a little too YA for me and that may be why I didn’t enjoy it as much as her other book. The writing was good but the story just didn’t hit as hard as I expected.

Megan Lally just became an auto-buy author for me! After her debut I loved her. After No Place Left to Hide? IM A GONER!

I love her writing style, the audio was fantastic and I was thrilled to see her sophomore attempt was JUST as good as her debut.

This YA thriller is a great book about a group of teens who have secrets that are soon brought to light! You can't trust no one and Brooke Goodwin has learned the hard way. This book will have u wanting to finish it the moment u start reading and the ending will have u floored.

The story had me hooked from beginning to end. I wanted to know exactly what happened past/present and who was involved and how will it all end. I highly recommend this book it did not disappoint at all! It gave me the "I know what you did last summer" vibe and I loved it!

I received an audio version of No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally. The narrator was the perfect choice for this YA book. Well adapted to be read as an audiobook book.

I rated this 2 stars, however if I could give it .5 I would rate it 2.5 stars. It's unfortunate because I was really excited for this one and wanted to like it. Although I enjoyed the narration, I'm thinking for me, personally, it would have been better to read a physical copy.

I found this very had to get into until almost halfway through. It's a quick read, but took me longer because I had to take a break from it before finishing. I was bored. Also, there aren't any likable characters. Way too much spoiled, entitled, rich girl/mean girl. The twists were good, but predictable.

This is my second Megan Lally book and this one was different from the first. "No Place Left to Hide" was slow in the beginning was more of a mystery/thriller than a psychological thriller. This book was also set in Oregon, which as a PNW person, was really captivating for me. Both books are more YA and therefore, the writing/plot seemed to be more choppy or have more gaps (for me).

This second book is about a high school senior from a very prominent family who is being harassed for being suspected of a serious crime she may/may not have committed. Harassment escalates one night at a beach party and secrets are revealed.

I really liked the narrator; in audio form, the swearing was a bit much. It seemed really out of place in places (perhaps in book form it wouldn't have stood out as much?). There is a really good twist but this happens near the end, unlike her first book which grabs you from the very beginning. *I received a complimentary audio copy from the author/publishing company via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Whoa that did not end the way I thought it would! Brooke is from a well-known family, and her father is up for a Judgeship. Claire, used to be her best friend, but now just wants to hurt her and is out for revenge. Things go bad one night at a party. Fast forward, and someone is determined to make Brooke pay. Who is it? Who can she trust? Who was actually the bad guy here? This was great!!! You will be wrong about everything you think you know!

4.5 🌟 This was my first Megan Lally book and I went into it completely blind. I didn’t realize until I started listening to it that it’s a YA thriller and I absolutely loved every second of it! It felt like Gossip Girl but with a mysterious murder and a suspenseful whodunnit plot. I was completely gripped by the story from start to finish and even the dedication (which made me chuckle) hooked my attention:

“For anyone who has felt the unique pain of being betrayed by a friend. They don’t deserve you. Never did. Wish them the worst. Hit ‘em with your car. Just kidding. That’s murder.”

Action packed throughout, chock full of drama, deceit, and betrayal, and ending with lots of juicy twists, this was one of the best thrillers I’ve listened to. Megan Lally immediately makes my list of auto-read authors and I will whole-heartedly recommend this book and author to anyone asking for a good thriller. Can’t wait for my hold on her debut novel, That’s Not My Name, to come through on Libby.

Many thanks to RBmedia for this ALC in exchange for an honest review!

*One thing I wish I had known going into this book, especially listening to it as an audiobook, is that the timeline of the plot switches between a party at a lake house that happened in September and to a party at a beach house that happens in “current” day, presumably sometime near the end of senior year as preparing for prom is a big topic of discussion. I imagine that the timeline is very clear and straightforward if you are reading the book, but I got a little confused at the beginning as an audiobook because I thought it was the same party for a minute. I had to make sure that I paid attention to when it transitioned between the two parties. That seems really easy but if you’re listening and multitasking like me, then it could easily go unnoticed and blur into one big party but it’s very important to note the difference between the two to fully understand the plot.*

𐙚 Dual Timeline
𐙚 High School Drama
𐙚 Buried Secrets & Revenge Plots

This was a fun, fast-paced thriller that had me trying to piece together each layer chapter by chapter. Megan Lally’s No Place Left to Hide is a thrilling YA suspense novel that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The twists and tension made it nearly impossible to put this book down. Brooke Goodwin, a high school golden girl with a perfect life, faces an unraveling reality after a tragic lake house party shatters everything. Now plagued by anonymous threats and a relentless stalker, Brooke’s story unfolds through a gripping dual timeline that alternates between the present and the events leading up to the tragedy.

Rating: ✰✰✰✰/5

Thank you for providing me with an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own. ・❥・

Everything is going Brooke's way when she finds out she has gotten into Yale. Deciding to celebrate in style and knowing her crush will be there, she attends a party but is shocked when her enemy, Claire turns up. Brooke thought she'd moved away. Why was she there? And could she be the one behind all the threats and nasty pranks that Brooke has tried to keep secret?

This was a fun read. It was fast paced and while it wasn't overly believable in parts, I rolled with it and really enjoyed it. It did seem quite immature at times to me but I think that is me reading a YA book after such a long time. Lots of secrets and nasty characters always make a thriller interesting so if this is your cup of tea, be sure to pick this one up.

3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
In this YA thriller we are introduced to the main character, Brooke, whose promising future is threatened by her disturbing past.
The story is formatted as a duel timeline and slowly clues the reader in to the events leading to the death of her once friend and classmate.
Overall the book has some solid twists, even if some of them feel a bit familiar for someone who reads a fair share of thrillers. I would recommend this book to anyone in the mood for a fast paced quick read!
This one gives Pretty Little Liars vibes.

Thank you to NetGalley and RBmedia for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

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 highly recommend the audiobook! The narrator does a great job bringing the story to life!

What an incredibly fast pace thriller this was! I read this book in less than 24 hours because it was quite literally so gripping I could not stop. The tempo of this book went back and forth from past and present beautifully. Mean girls vibes mixed with Riverdale! The FMC of the book in the rich golden girl of her area & and incident occurs that ends in her classmate dying. Everything for the golden girl changes that day forward & while she believes she has everything worked out, it all takes a change. Everyone is lying, what could possibly go wrong?!

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to listen to this ARC!

Megan Lally does it again! I was so excited to receive an advanced copy of this book as I was a huge fan of Lally’s other book ‘That’s Not My Name’. The twists and turns (pun intended) of ‘No Place Left to Hide’ were so well done. While I did guess the ending a little sooner than I would’ve liked I found how the ending of the book was done to be so satisfying. I highly recommend this book!

I was so excited about this and it didn’t disappoint. The story really sucked me in. I couldn’t stop listening. The narration was wonderful. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this audiobook.

This was a 4.3 for me, I really enjoyed it. I saw some of the mixed reviews about it. But, I personally think if you don't love YA, you are not going to enjoy this book. This is 100% YA, all the way! Think Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars. Lots of immature teen drama and poor decision making skills haha. I was so frustrated with the FMC but I absolutely found the ending very satisfying. If you enjoy teen angst and bad choices, this is your book haha

This Book should be on your TBR! Go pick it up today. From the first page you won’t be disappointed. The author will keep you guessing until the very end. I’m literally Blown Away with the twist and turns. It is a book you will not want to put down and will still reading late into the night. Megan Lally books never disappoint but this just became my favorite so far!



Thank you Netgalley & RBmedia for this Advanced Audiobook. I will be putting this paperback book in many readers hands this week. I can’t wait to tell customers just how much I enjoyed it!
