That was definitely an ending I didn’t expect 😂

Fast paced quick read, finished in one sitting. Lots of drama and action. Crushes, girl fights and car chases. This is definitely a YA book as the main focus is two high school girls coming to battle over a boy and family drama, however I found I didn’t mind. The main character was interesting enough to me that it kept me reading to see how it all ended, which was definitely with a bang 🤣

I love the audio narrator (Justis Bolding) she is one of my favourite voices to listen to!

Thank you to RBmedia and Megan Lally for the ALC, this book published in January!

No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally was a great YA mystery.
The twists and turns were captivating.
The characters are engaging.
And the wound was great.

This book will keep you on your toes. I loved how the author jumped right into the story from page one. Brooke has it all and a bright future to look forward to. She works hard to keep her image pristine. She had an incident she is trying to escape. Who is calling her, following her? It's a game of cat and mouse. Will she figure out who is after her and her reputation?

Well that was a twist!! This was so good!

First I loved this because the main characters name has my name too 😜 but this was such a good read. I liked the back and forth of the timeline and figuring out what happened then and the what’s happening now? I thought I knew… but it got me! Had such a surprising end and I really enjoyed it. So devious. I did find our main character a little annoying at times. Nothing too big tho. I enjoyed the narration and was completely sucked into this story. This author has def become an auto buy for me. In fact had to grab a hard copy for a book trophy 😎

A pulse-pounding thriller that hooks you from the very first page. Brooke is a compelling protagonist, balancing the weight of a past she wants to escape with the pressure of maintaining a perfect façade. The tension builds masterfully when a simple celebration turns into a nightmare, and the relentless suspense kept me flipping pages late into the night.

Lally excels at crafting an eerie atmosphere, making every shadow and turn of the road feel ominous. The twists are well-executed, and while some moments felt predictable, there were plenty of surprises to keep things exciting. The emotional depth of Brooke's character adds another layer to the story, making it more than just a thriller—it's a tale of resilience and facing one's fears.

If you love thrillers with strong female leads, dark secrets, and heart-racing suspense, No Place Left to Hide is definitely worth the read. A solid four stars!

Brooke is a perfectionist and a spoiled rich kid. She's hoping that an incident earlier wont come back to haunt her. I kind of expected the ending, just not the extent of the deviousness Brooke is capable of.

ARC Review
2.5 ⭐️
The first third was pretty slow, and then it started to pick up once the truck started following her, but not enough for me to really care about the plot. I felt like it was a stereotypical YA mystery/thriller, with not a lot of substance.

I had to ruminate on my review for this book before committing to clicking submit.

I have been in a thriller kick for a while now and was super excited to read this. Megan Lally is a phenomena writer, so any chance to read her new work is a win for me.

The storyline is easy to follow and fast-paced, but somehow, equally slow. It only took a day to finish, which we love to see! The characters frustrated me, but they’re mostly teenagers, so that was an on-par reaction (lol).

I will say that I was disappointed that I didn’t enjoy the ending, and felt that it was a little predictable. As we got closer to end, I was hoping for something more.

I do recommend reading this book, it’s worth a read. If you’re looking for a thriller that isn’t too intense, you’ll enjoy this!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to an ARC of this book!

Brooke tries to have the perfect appearance especially after the incident. She decides to go to a party to celebrate getting into her university of choice. Then she is getting tailgated and her worst fear may happen.

3.5 stars ⭐️ rounded up. I feel like I had flashbacks to another similar book I recently read. I did like the back and forth between past and current as it added to the drama. It seemed a little immature at times, but it is a YA novel.

Thank you to Megan Lally, RBmedia and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

No Place Left to Hide is a fast-paced young adult thriller. This is the second book I’ve read by Megan Lally, but I’ll admit it wasn’t my favorite. I think the reason this book didn’t hit for me was that the plot felt a bit too YA. A lot of the issues the teens were dealing with made me roll my eyes. Overall, this was just an average read with no major shocks or surprises.

This teen thriller was a gripping, atmospheric page-turner that made for the perfect popcorn read!

I’m always drawn to a good revenge plot, especially when it’s packed with rich people behaving badly, catty mean girls, unreliable narrators, and delightfully unhinged, unlikeable characters.

Told through dual timelines, this fast-paced, tension-filled read flew by thanks to its brisk pacing and short chapters.

3.5 stars rounded to 4 for Goodreads

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Megan’s first book and was so excited to see her second book was out! She did not disappoint! I couldn’t stop reading this book! The audiobook was fantastic as well!

I listened to an eARC of this one & it’s easily one of the best YA thrillers I’ve come across. It has major Gossip Girl x Pretty Little Liars vibes, which totally gripped me. This isn’t my usual genre but I kept seeing it everywhere on BookTok & it absolutely lives up to the hype. I was captivated the entire time and did not see the twist coming!

Wow, this put Mean Girls to shame. For a YA thriller/mystery, I liked it more than I thought I would. The ending was satisfying but i needed an epilogue for sure.

This was a thrilling fun plot twisty book that can be read in a day! I loved to guess at which goats was around the next corner or which event haunted their past. The ending was phenomenal and the characters are to die for.

Actual rating: 2.5☆

Thank you so much to NetGalleyand the publisherfor providing an eALC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

This book is perfect for you if you are looking for an incredibly fast paced thriller with absolutely unhinged and unlikable characters.

However, I feel like this book was way to predictable so the twists didn't really shock me and it also wasn't that scary.

The audiobook was very good, the narrator did an amazing job distinguish between the different characters. If you pick this book up I would definitely choosing the audio version route.

This book was all sorts of nuts 🤣 seniors in a fancy school, all legacy type with a couple less privileged ones mixed in. Anything I say will give away spoilers, but it’s a mystery and captivating!

A thrilling Audiobook listen with twists you won't see coming! Lally crafts a suspenseful tale that will keep you guessing until the very end. I loved the dual timeline, the narrator wove the story very well.

For a young adult mystery/thriller, it was good. It was giving a cross between Mean Girls and the Murdaugh Murder vibes.

The entire cast of characters were unlikeable, it very much had many “Ha! Sucked in moments” and it portrayed teenage jealousy, betrayal and rage very well.

I requested this after seeing the hype of Megan’s debut novel - That’s Not My Name and I’m hoping I can’t get to that one soon.

Thank-you @netgalley RBMedia and Megan for this Digital Advanced Readers Copy, in exchange for an honest review.

I read "That's Not My Name" by Megan last year, this was the same fast paced and engaging storytelling that made me wanting to keep listening. I liked the aspect of them being followed and trying to figure out who it was and why. I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next. Overall it was a good read. I do prefer adult thrillers over YA but I would still recommend.
