This book is definitely under rated and not talked about enough! The twist in this one definitely had my jaw on the floor. I love Freida’s writing style and this one did not disappoint!! One of my new favorites from her!

I've heard a lot about Freida McFadden, thanks to BookTok, and this was the first book of hers that I've read. This was a great first book for me, a real page-turner. For the first 80 percent of the book, I was planning on giving it four stars, but I just really did not care for the ending. A plot twist that kept me guessing? Sure. But it was just really far-fetched. (Some people don't mind that!) This will not be my last Freida book. Thank you to NetGalley for my copy of One by One.

One by one, they will get what they deserve…

Claire and her husband hate each other and are maybe at the end of their marriage when they go on a couples trip with some friends. Claire’s minivan breaks down on a deserted road in the woods and the friends have to try to walk through the woods to the inn. With no cell service and a broken compass they realize they are lost and something is hunting them. One by one they start to disappear. Is there a wild animal after them or is it one of them?

I really wanted to like this more. I love this kind of locked door scenario where they are all lost in the woods together. I was actually surprised in the end too. Unfortunately, it had too many plot holes and a very unbelievable motive. I don’t mind some suspension of belief. It is fiction after all, but this was too far to make sense for me.

Ever since I read Never Lie by Freida Mcfadden, she quickly become of my auto-buy authors! And she does not disappoint in One by One! Some plot twists I was able to guess, but once again Freida McFadden has me staring off into the void with her latest, One by One. I would love to have a conversation with her some day and talk about the unhinged characters she creates and what they go through!

HIGHLY recommended!!

Ever wondered that you might get lost without your mobile? Do you try to stay away from your mobile intentionally sometimes ?

I sometimes feel like we use our phones always that if that’s lost we won’t be able to manage like few generations did before us!

One by one is story of six couples getting lost in the woods with no way to contact anyone for help. One by one they get attacked and we keep guessing who is the killer. I really liked the housemaid series and the author gave a another good thriller where I was again left to guess who was the bad guy till the last page! I don’t want to give away a lot of details, so I am gonna just say, pick up this one if you need a fast paced thriller or a break from your usual books.

I have to be honest I’ve read quite a few Frieda McFadden books and this one is my least favorite but I can’t deny that fact that this author ALWAYS brings the twists!

Three couples set out on couple's vacation. Their mini van dies in the middle of nowhere, leaving them lost in the woods. Someone is trying to kill them, or maybe they are being terrorized by a rabid coyote. Who knows, after a while, I started to get annoyed that the here was no new information being added just the same findings.

The main character Claire talks about how her marriage is coming to and end with her husband Noah and the dynamics in all the relationships start to change as we delve further into the book. There is an anonymous person thrown into the mix every couple chapters talking about his or her disturbing upbringing.

The ending was just down right anticlimatic. Although I didn’t see what happened coming. The motive for the killings was just very unrealistic or believable. Thank you NetGalley for the digital version of this read.

Another fantastic, jaw dropping, thrilling book from Freida McFadden! I sped through this book and lemme tell yall, it was 100% worth the read. Frieda never disappointments and this is just another example of how amazing her writing is.

One By One

ARC REVIEW:
Another great book from Miss Freida McFadden! I finished this book so quickly and it was hard having to put it down. I thought I would finally figure out the ending to one of Freida’s book but once again her psychological skills proved me wrong.

Six friends go out to the woods for a week long trip and once their car breaks down they have no choice but to rely on one another. This book messed with my mind so much. I kept wondering how these characters were disappearing and who or what was responsible for them. It’s also told in multiple POV’s and you can’t help wondering who the “anonymous” POV was. I thought I had it figured out but I was so wrong. Freida always has a plot twist at the end and this one I was not expecting. But then there’s a bit of another twist at the very end and that was also insane. Such a fast paced read, you will not want to put this down!

Thank You NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and Freida McFadden for sending me this ARC for an honest review.

I love me a Freida McFadden thriller! She’s one of my favorite authors. Still, I did not expect to like this one because the 'lost in the woods' storyline just does not typically appeal to me. But man am I glad I was wrong about this one! Per usual, Freida didn’t disappoint.

I loved the short chapters, multiple POVs (including one from an anonymous person!), suspense, and best of all that plot twist! A lot of the time I’m at least close to figuring out the mystery but this one truly surprised me. So impressed with this book and will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun thriller. Best of all, it’s on Kindle Unlimited!

I will say that I initially struggled with the pacing. The first half of the book was engaging but still easy to put down. The second half of the book really picked up and I could not put it down! I am seriously so impressed with that plot twist. I never saw it coming and that is exactly what I want out of a thriller!

This was another keep em guessing From Freida McFadden.
And even though I wasn't a huge fan of this one, I enjoyed the different pov and anonymous!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

The story goes between two POVs: Claire, who is the main character, and Anonymous, who is behind all of the deaths/disappearances of the friends.
I did guess pretty early on who Anonymous was, but that doesn't mean I had it all figured out. It was still super fun to figure out the why and the how of everything.
My only downside to this is that while it was explain why most of these characters were "getting what they deserved," there was one character in particular that I didn't get what they had done to deserve it. I can speculate, but I would've loved the book to touch on it.
Overall, this was a super quick read, and I really enjoyed it.

Freida McFadden's formula continues to be one in the same. Switch out a character, a murder, or a weapon, and the books could all be the same. Entertaining, sure. Groundbreaking? Not at all.

Freida McFadden has done it again.
One by One was better than I could've hoped for.

The story was easy to follow and I loved how McFadden combined the two stories together with nameing one anonymous and the other one was from Claires pov.
I will not tell you who anonymous is because that would be a spoiler and we don't like that right? Only thing I'm gonna say about anonymous is that it was kinda fun trying figure out who this person was.

I was reading this book while holding my breath a few times and other times I could hear myself think like what and omg.

If you are looking for a good thriller to read that might keep you up reading way past your bed time because you really wanna know how the ending is gonna be then this one is what you are searching for.

What a creepy story! This book unlocked a new fear for me and that is being stranded out in the wilderness without everything you need. This was a very interesting take on surviving in the wilderness because there are so many characters and factors that lead to their behaviors. I really did enjoy it and quickly read it in a weekend. The ending was great and she managed to still surprise me.

⭐️⭐️ 2.5

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

Definitely not one of my favorite books by Freida. I couldn’t get myself into the storyline. However, normally I love her books and she is an amazing author!

Loved this ARC by Frieda McFadden. Her books always suck you in, and this one was no exception. I really couldn't put this one down. Three couples head out for a week long vacation at a remote inn. Once they get to a remote area near the inn, the van they are driving breaks down. Having to hike the rest of the way to the inn, things quickly go from bad to worse.

The book goes from the main characters point of view to another person's point of view who is listed only as "anonymous." Anonymous has a lot to hide and this book keeps you guessing which one of the six it is.

A great read!

3.5⭐️ Not my favorite of Freida’s, but she did what we expect her to do! Keeps us guessing up until the very end.

This book was short and easy to get through. I wanted to love it but I just couldn’t. I don’t know if I felt like I needed to rush through it or if I just didn’t have the time to sit and focus solely on the book like I normally do. I think I’m going to have to reread this later. I am a big fan of Frieda so I feel like I must have missed something.
