Well, Freida McFadden did it again! Another book you just can’t put down.

It has a stunning setting — friends got stuck in the woods on the way to a vacation. There are six of them, it makes three couples.

MC’s car broke after entering the wild area (no phone signal, for sure), so they decided to walk to their inn. But something goes wrong, they get lost and people start to die.

And you start doubting every single person. Or maybe it’s a wild animal? Don’t try to guess, the main twist is unexpected as usual, and other twists are crazy as well.

Another reason I want to praise this book is the very realistic relationship between MC and her husband. They are a pre-divorcing couple after years of marriage with two children, and they act like one— when they fight, they fight. Poking each other, being furious, making sarcastic comments, etc.

So their behavior during this “vacation”, MC’s secret, and the ending — all seem logical to me.

The story was good and I enjoyed every single page of it.

Thank you, NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have read multiple different books be Freida and I am always thrown off at who it could be. I enjoy reading her books and you are instantly sucked into them and need to figure out the mystery.

I did not see that plot twist coming at all. I suspected the one character Warner as it just made sense but I wasn’t sure about everything else. I am always wrong about who it could be and why. She gets me everytime!

This book was a super quick read and easy to make sense of. I enjoyed it! Everything flowed nicely and the plot was good.

My opinions are my own.

Finished one of my CRs! ❤️📚

Wow on this one! This was my first Freida McFadden and I understand why her books are so popular in the thriller community. This was a strong 4, almost 5 for me as I read a lot of thrillers and enjoyed this one.

When a group of 6 with complicated relationships get lost in the woods and start dying #onebyone you are left with a true whodunit and constantly asking who is “anonymous” that we keep flashing back to?!?! The tone and style of McFadden’s writing is easy to read, almost conversational, with enough descriptive elements to pull you into the story and set the stage. This allows the story to be relatively fast paced. She drops enough hints and appropriately times perspective changes to really build suspense. The #plot twist was just the right amount of surprise and “darn it - I should’ve been able to figure it out” and for me that’s the perfect balance of what I like (not overly predictable but doesn’t feel like it came entirely out of left field. )

I will definitely be exploring more of McFadden’s titles and it’s feeling like a good go to for a quick suspenseful summer read. Fans of suspenseful authors and true whodunits from authors like Agatha Christie and Mary Higgins Clark will love this!

Big thank you to NetGalley poisoned pen press and Freida McFadden for this ARC! I thoroughly enjoyed it! #suspensethriller #plottwist #creepy #whototrust #mysterylover #adventuresintbrland

I flew through this book! I never knew where the plot was going. I thought I was going to be right about who did it throughout the entire book and then the reveal came and I was far from it! I enjoyed the story.

I am a huge fan of Freida McFadden, but this was not my favorite of her thrillers. Many of her books leave me up all night in a desperate attempt to get answers, but this one was just a bit slow. I wanted more action and excitement, as I've come to expect in her writing. The characters were generally unlikeable and I had a hard time connecting with the story. I wanted to be more shocked at the twists but was left wanting more. I highly recommend reading her other thrillers!

4.5 stars for this one! I always love Frieda’s books and this one REALLY got me with the twist! Midway through the book, I was kind of disappointed because I thought I had it figured out. I was nowhere close to knowing what was happening 😂

Claire Marchett is hopeful that a vacation with her husband Noah and two of their couple friends, will give her a chance to either fix her broken marriage or make the decision to finally call it quits. She could have never guessed what was in store for not only her, but the five others on the trip with her. She and her best friend Lindsay are supposed to be spending time in a hot tub and sleeping in comfy, fancy beds…..not sleeping in the woods and fighting for their lives. Noah and his best friend Jack are supposed to be enjoying hikes in the woods, not trying to find clean water they can drink so they don’t die of dehydration. One by one: Claire, Noah. Jack , Michelle, Lindsay and Warner, will each get what’s coming to them!

Great read! Thank you for the opportunity to read this digital advanced reader copy in return for my honest opinion!

There’s quite a lot of build up and context for my liking but overall an ok read. I wish there was more action/drama in the first chapters but this build up doesn’t happen until 20+ chapters. I did overall enjoy this read and enjoyed the slower pace for a change.

Freida does it again. This one kept me on the edge of my seat and I didn’t want to put it down. It kept me guessing the whole way through and I didn’t guess the twist at the end. I didn’t love the characters and found it hard to believe they wouldn’t have ANY survival skills. Otherwise, it was a solid thriller.

As usual, Frieda hits with another binge worthy ready as I couldn’t put this down… AND was at my best friends bach party in paradise! I was able to guess just a small part of one of the many twists, however it did not disappoint with the shock factor!
Frieda is my auto buy author and I am thankful to have received this ARC in return for a review .

Loved every minute of this one!!!
I could not put this read down, and finished in one sitting.
I think I have found a new author to enjoy.

Reading Freida McFadden is like having fast food - you want it, but then feel guilty about it because you know it's not good for you.

Like with a lot of her other books, this not only borrows a title from another thriller, but also some of the plot. You have seen this all before. there is nothing unique about this story, and yet, you read it fast and somehow enjoy it.

Story of a group of six friends that are going away for a week to a relaxing inn. They all pack into one car, and drive through the woods. The car breaks down and they are lost for days(?) ... yeah, if you think this sounds silly, it is. Told from a POV of Claire and another, in flashback mostly, that we call here "anonymous." The pacing of the book is fast, chapters short, so you can read though this really fast.

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for lending me this book for an honest review.

I am a huge Frieda McFadden books, But this was not a favorite, it was very predictable . Thanks for the a copy of the arm

4stars!
One by one was a heck of a read. I always treat Frieda McFadden Books as my appetizers and palate cleansers. If I am in a slump, I pick up her book(any of them) and get the party started. When I get bored and worded out with other genre and books , I picked up a Frieda McFadden work and fireworks exploded. Needless to say, its a great read and one should not miss.
Claire and her husband together with some group of their old friends decided to have a fun, relaxing mini vacation in the woods where they get to unplugged from the real hustle and bustle of their busy life. But, what would Claire do when one by one the members of their supposed to be fun party starts disappearing? Where did they go and are they coming back?
I can't say this enough, Freida knows what the readers love to read and she get them there. I enjoyed this book and I highly recommend!

Claire goes on vacation with her husband and friends but things don't go according to plan. While on the way to their get away their car breaks down and causes them to walk the rest of the way to their Inn. Claire and her friends get lost on the way and are forced to camp in the woods then they start disappearing.

This is my first Freida McFadden book and I loved it. I can't wait to read more of her books. This was a super quick read for me because I just had to know what happened next. I will definitely be tell all my friends about this book.

I love a good Freida McFadden book and this one did not disappoint. It wasn't as good as some of the others by her that I have read, however it held its own and still delivered the twists, turns, and shocks that I expect from one of her thrillers.

In One by One we meet a couple--Claire and Noah whom are going on a trip with two other couples in the wilderness. The trip is nothing like they're expecting and slowly, one by one, they disappear until only a few are left. The motives of everyone are under suspicion and no one can be trusted. Finally the killer comes clean, but no one is who you assumed they would be.

I loved all of the characters within the story--my favorite being Claire in the fact that she is only human and had a thing for Jack all while being with Noah. This element gave the book another layer of complexity because of their friendship and bromance let alone adultery with the others spouse. The book is a good length--not too long and not too short and is definitely an easy read that quickly pulls you in.

I love Freida Mcfadden and have been obsessed with every single book that I've read so far, but this one fell flat. I couldn't get into the characters and felt that the book was dragging on.

I still enjoyed reading it and as always, was surprised with the twists, but it just wasn't my favorite.

Thank you net galley for the copy .I am a huge Mcfadden fan .I did think the beginning started off slow .The characters were ones I kept getting confused .May just be me but too many to keep up with .I ofcourse did not guess the ending.I felt the ending left me wanting more as like most of her books .

Fast and easy read. Twists and turns up until the end. Ending leaves it open for a possible sequel, and a little bit of a good cliffhanger

This really threw me in for a loop. Freida McFadden always has amazing books but this one had me thinking I knew who it really was the whole time but she def threw me off every now and then or had me doubting myself. In the end, it wasn’t what I expected at all. I will say that if you are easily triggered by cheating then don’t read this as it is based around it. This book really went by the title: One By One. I highly recommend this book to those who love a good thrill, figuring out who did the crime, camping, hiking, and who love Frieda McFadden’s books.

Freida McFadden just knows how to write a good book her twists and turns just keep coming you don’t know who to suspect and when you think you’ve finally worked it out there is another twist thrown in her books read super quick because you just can’t put them down she is the plot twist queen
