6 friends leave for a trips in the wood, but not all return. One by one they disappear.

I listened to this as an audiobook—it kept my attention enough while driving but wasn’t captivating. The characters felt superficial and I wasn’t rooting for any character to survive. Freida always has a twist at the end, and this has a double twist which I enjoyed.

Loved the reveal of the anonymous narrator, was completely unexpected. Lindsay being alive was unexpected, her as the killer was doubly unexpected, and her as the anonymous narrator 🤯 she is a complete sociopath— killing with no empathy, and love that she placed a magnet in Noah’s jacket to through off the compass. So devious! Big plot holes—if someone died while in the woods with you, wouldn’t you double check they were actually dead? And not just trust the word of someone else? Warner is a doctor but gives bad vibes…if my bestie was dying, I would not trust her unlikeable boyfriend that she actually died and leave her alone in the woods without checking myself she was actually dead.

Thank you to netgalley for this ARC!

As with all Freida McFadden books, this book was quick, sneaky, and had twists all the way until the end. While I don’t believe this was one of her better books, this book was still okay. The anonymous POV had me continuously guessing who this was. And of course, it was one of the last people I would have thought.

When i need a popcorn thriller Freida is always my go to. Are her books masterpieces NO. Are they Entertaining yes.

TBH this wasn't my favorite freida book but only because of the setting. I think if this would've been set in an actual cabin, instead of the woods, I would've liked it a lot more. I will say i didn't see the twist coming and couldn't predict the killer, which is the biggest thing i look for in a mystery since i can usually predict the ending. Overall, solid thriller just not my favorite by this author.

Freida McFadden nails it again with One by One! This gripping thriller kept me hooked for days. The plot, centered around a group of friends, is full of unexpected twists that keep you on edge. McFadden’s talent for suspense shines through, making this a must-read for fans of thrilling, fast-paced stories.

I am a huge fan of Freida McFadden and have been thoroughly enjoying reading my way through all of her works. While One by One was engaging and offered some unexpected plot twists, it is far from my favorite of her works.

2.5 stars rounded up to 3 stars
I am usually a fan of Freida McFadden's work but this has to be my least favorite of her books. In most thrillers the story has to be somewhat over the top but this was just too much for me. However what I did like was the speed of this thriller. It was nonstop action and suspense so I never found myself bored.

It’s hard to give Frieda McFadden’s books anything less than four stars! One by One was another nice, easy, and quick read that completely sucked me in, as her books always do. The plot was solid, keeping me hooked from start to finish. While some twists were predictable, others took me completely by surprise, which made the story even more enjoyable.

The characters were well-written, and their distinct personalities added depth to the plot, making the dynamics between them work even better. Overall, it was an entertaining thriller that delivered the twists and suspense I’ve come to expect from McFadden. Perfect for when you want a fast-paced, satisfying read!

Freida McFadden has done it again with One by One! This book is an absolute page-turner—I couldn’t put it down and devoured it in 3 days. McFadden’s talent for crafting suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat thrillers truly shines in this novel.

The storyline revolving around a group of friends is nothing short of incredible. The plot twists are so expertly woven that just when you think you’ve figured it out, the author surprises you again. The tension builds steadily, keeping you hooked from start to finish.

As one of my favorite authors, Freida McFadden always delivers gripping stories, and One by One is no exception. If you love suspenseful thrillers with masterful pacing and unforgettable twists, this book is really a must-read!

ALWAYS AN PRESURE TO READ A THRILLER - ALTHOUGH NOT THE BEST WAS KINDA PREDICTABL;E BUT WAS A FUN READ AND SHALL RECOMMEND

Reminded me of a good horror flick. This group of couples goes on a vacation and one by one…clever…everyone starts dying. The twists were pretty wild but that’s normal Frieda fashion. I was not expecting all of the turns that happened but it kept my attention and I flew through this in a day.

I absolutely loved this book. The way the character development continued to evolve throughout the story was perfect! Once I started reading this book I literally could not put it down (I tried i really did). I can't wait till I can read more from this author

Thank you so much to @poisonedpenpress and @netgalley for the copy of this eARC!
 
If you know me you know I’m a huge McFadden fan. She always gets me at the end of each book, with that twist that I never see coming! There Is no winning with her Mercedes-0 -McFadden+5.
 
When Claire and her husband go on a trip with their group of friends they get stuck in the woods with a broken minivan, no cell service, and the threat of a wild animal on the loos…Only one will survive.
 
I never thought that what Emma said in the beginning meant anything until it was brought up in the end.
 
I enjoyed how the story jumps from Claire’s point of view to the flashback of an anonymous character. This will leave you guessing the whole time and you have no idea who the mysterious character is! I thought I had it all figured out and then the twist at the end BOOM!! Honestly, I wasn’t expecting that. This was a fast-paced thriller that would have you hooked from start to end.

Not my favorite McFadden book, but still a good one with plenty of suspense. Lots of twists and turns and who dun its. I did guess the majority of the going ons, but still enjoyed this book. Never know who you can trust.

Freida McFaddens one by one is a master class in suspense, delivering a nail biting psychological thriller that will keep you guessing

One by One by Frieda McFadden delivers a quick and entertaining read for fans of murder mysteries. The premise of a group of friends disappearing one by one in an isolated forest immediately sets the stage for a suspenseful story.

While I enjoyed the overall tension and the twists along the way, I found some aspects of the book repetitive, which slowed the pacing at times. The buildup to key events felt a bit drawn out, but the unpredictability of the ending more than made up for it. I didn’t see it coming, and for me, that’s one of the most important factors in a good mystery!

If you’re looking for a light, suspenseful read with a surprising conclusion, One by One is worth picking up.

Thank you to Net Galley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of One by One by Frieda McFadden!

Yet another great thriller written by Freida McFadden! She just cannot do wrong. One be one is pretty much exactly as it sounds. I really enjoyed the fact that this was dual pov with one being anonymous. This book is both hard to put down and a very quick read making it a perfect thriller in my opinion. The twist is twisty!

Thank you netgalley for the earc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank You Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book.

I love to read any Freida McFadden book. This one was no exception. In this book we follow Claire and her husband as they go on a couples trip. Throughout the way their car breaks down and they have to hike. That’s when things start to get crazy. While put in the woods, the group starts to disappear one by one.

This book really made me question who could I trust. This was a fast pace book and left me wanting to read more.

Freida McFadden is the queen of page-turners! Six people go on a vacation and start going missing one by one. This was a twisty thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC.
