One by One by Frieda McFadden is an absolutely gripping read that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! McFadden masterfully crafts a suspenseful and thrilling narrative, with twists and turns that are impossible to predict. The pacing is perfect, and the characters are well-developed, each with secrets that add layers of mystery to the story. The tension builds steadily, making it hard to put down. This book is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers and suspenseful mysteries. McFadden has once again proven her talent for writing stories that are both engaging and unputdownable. Highly recommend!

I am glad I read this one after I spent time travelling around remote Tasmania enjoying some hiking and chilling out a cabin with friends!
Freida McFadden has done it again... lots of twists and turns some predictable and others kept me guessing. And that ending.....
This is one of my favourite Freida books so far.
I'm not going to say anymore... just clear your afternoon and read this book!

I am a huge fan of Freida McFadden's books! I was so excited to receive an ARC for this book! Her books are always pure entertainment and keep me on the edge of my seat. This is a writer who loves shocking her readers. If you like suspense, this is a twisted domestic thriller. A "lost in the woods" thriller where the people keep disappearing one by one. It has you guessing through the entire book. So many twisted secrets and surprises. I enjoyed it immensely and have recommended it to everyone.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for allowing me an ARC of One by One. I loved this book. I loved the plot and the characters. It definitely kept me on my toes because I wasn't ever sure who had done it. Overall I would give it 5/5 stars!

I enjoyed “One by One” by Freida McFadden. I am a longtime fan of this author, and this book was a great addition. Based on an ill-fated weekend retreat for three couples, we quickly surmise that it will not go smoothly. Claire and her husbands marriage is in trouble, and this weekend away is just what she needs - no work, no kids and her husband in a separate room. As the friends set out they are quickly put off schedule when their van breaks down. A series of events unfold as they make their way through the wilderness on foot… terrifying and with unexpected turns, something is picking them off one by one. Thank you for the ARC. I highly recommend this book, all opinions are my own.

This is a typical McFadden! You get invested in the characters and you know there is a twist, and just when you think you have it figured out - she proves you wrong! Great story of wilderness survival and friendships and how those may not be what they seem. It was a book you need to have time to read because you won't want to put it down.

What’s worse then having to go on a friendcation when you and your husband are at your worst?? Well this book will answer that question for you

Fast read, well paced unlikable characters did not enjoy the ending trite and predictable. Not a fan of this book at all. The characters are very one dimensional and unbelievable.

A twisty thriller that takes place in the woods when six people get stranded on their way to a remote inn for a weeklong vacation. While none of the characters were particularly likable, there were plenty of twists and turns throughout that kept me engaged and turning each page wanting to know more. Overall a dark, creepy, fun read. Thank you for the ARC.

I am a Freida fan and will read everything by her.
This book is currently a buddy read for me and my close friend.

I haven’t read a single book by Freida and not like it!
She has a way with words and stories that keeps you at the edge of your seat with all these plot twists and characters that take you on a rollercoaster ride!
If you haven’t read anything by Freida please do! You’ll get hooked like me!!!
Big thanks to Freida and netgalley for this arc!

I really enjoy Freida McFadden's books. While there isn't anything groundbreaking in *One by One*, it's a good, quick read that serves its purpose well. It's an enjoyable story to listen to while doing other things, and it will keep you entertained.
In the book, Claire Matchett is going on a weeklong trip with her estranged husband and some friends. When their minivan breaks down on a deserted road, they decide they're close enough to their destination to walk the rest of the way. For some reason, they never seem to reach their destination, and over the course of several days, various events unfold.
Overall, this book is fast-paced and entertaining, but nothing was particularly shocking. The twist at the end was quite underwhelming. So, if you're looking for a book that will blow your mind, this isn't it. However, if you want something quick and entertaining, this book will do the trick.
Rating: 3.25 Stars.

This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. I would definitely read more from this author!

When I read the description of this book it reminded me of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, and there were definitely some similar elements here. It was a bit unrealistic and repetitive, but it took me a while to guess the killer, and I read it in less than a day (which is very rare for me these days.) Not the best writing but I still thought it was a solid thriller.

Freida McFadden is always good for getting me out of a reading rut. This book was nothing amazing, but I always enjoy her books nonetheless. Picture me as a romance reader, but replace romance with a murder or two.

I just love Freida McFadden. Was this her best thriller? No. Did I still devour it in one day? Absolutely.

This was my second thriller by Freida McFadden I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing, and I highly recommend it. It was spooky, twisty, and so much fun. I am working my way through all of her books now!

I love anything that Freida McFadden writes and this one was no different. She is the queen of thrillers in my opinion

This was not my favorite book from McFadden. It was a bit boring at some points, but the twist at the ending was surprising and i was definitely not expecting it.
It was a fast read but i felt like the pace could have been a bit better.

This book was good but not Frieda’s best. It was a little boring at times and somewhat predictable. I will still recommend this book though!!
