-1.5 stars

girl what was this😭😭😭😭😭

I barely remember anything that went down in this book so this review will be shorter, but the characters were so unlikeable( IK IT'S A THRILLER BUT BRUH I WANTED EVERYONE DEAD). If I didn't have anyone to root for why would I care if the characters were going into a scary situation? Like I'm supposed to be scared and anxious BECAUSE I care if the characters are harmed, but that was not the case for this book! All of them were very superficial and had only one trait each. The book followed the same plotline format until the last 5 pages and then BAMN I actually cared enough to perk up and listen to what was going on.

The plot twist was decent enough but if i'm going to ignore my massive tbr to pick up a easy thriller I at least want it to have some flesh to it, yk?? Anyways, maybe I'm the problem but I just did not enjoy this one by the queen herself, Freida.

She is sometimes a hit or miss but when she's a hit, its a HIT. Alas, this wasn't one of those:(.

Thank You Netgalley for an e-arc copy of this book<3

I loved the twist and turns this book had! I didn’t want to put it down! Freida has a way to involve characters that start out great, then make you question them all the way to the end!

Not my all-time favorites among the Frieda McFadden series books—not because I disliked it, I enjoyed it, but because it lacked the suspense I've come to expect from the others. While I didn't figure out the full details of the plot twist before it was revealed, I did identify the culprit early on (although I did waver in my suspicions a few times). It's still a great book, but it didn't leave me with that bewildered 'what just happened?' sensation that I've experienced with her other works.

Freida McFadden's "One by One" is like a wild rollercoaster ride through a haunted forest, packed with surprises that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat. Although some parts seemed repetitive, the ending more than made up for it. I was completely hooked on the book and found it enjoyable overall. While the suspense remains high throughout the story, the characters fall a bit short. Their unpleasant personalities and lack of redeeming qualities make it hard to get emotionally invested in their outcomes. Overall though, a great quick read with a shocking ending!

One by One… you think you know what’s going on based on that title but you really don’t!! I finished this book in one day because I devoured it so quickly. 5/5 stars!! I like the dual POV and the reader only knows one of the narrators, the main character Claire. The other POV is unknown and is presumably the killer. You keep thinking you know who the killer is but then BAM! You never know!
I loved this book! It was fast paced and you really felt for the characters and their emotions!

My first Freida McFadden book & i really enjoyed it. Some of the characters got a little annoying but it could have just been how I read them. I did not guess that twist at the end though! Woah!

Another fantastic book by one of my favorite authors. Heart pounding book with many twists and turns. I never see the twist coming.

I believe One by One is one of the most UNDERRATED Freida McFadden books out there. It is different from her mysteries in its horror setting. Some scenes can appear gruesome, but I loved it! The main character Claire could be aggravating at times, and I kept trying to guess the twist up until the very end. Thank you for allowing me to read this AWESOME story!!! The ending had my jaw on the floor. 5/5 stars!

I’ve heard mixed reviews about this book, but it was one of my favorite Freida McFadden books so far! Loved the whole concept, and was definitely not expecting the plot twist at the end!

Wow, this book was such a rollercoaster of a read! It was insanely fast-paced and utterly binge-worthy—I couldn't put it down.

Despite finding most of the characters a bit unlikable, I was still strangely invested in their fates.

Although I hate to admit it, I did manage to guess the plot twist, which left me feeling a tad disappointed.

Nonetheless, I had a blast reading it and would definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for a quick, fun thriller without all the complexities.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

My review will also be posted on my instagram account @milasreadingcorner on publishing day. (April 2)

While compulsively readable and impossible to put down, One By One is nothing new and because of that I'm so torn on this author.
There are unexpected twists as you read, but sometimes those twists don't feel earned or as though they make sense.
While I enjoyed reading the book, I definitely had hoped for something more when I got to the ending.

I guess this will be republished? I'm seeing where it was released a few years ago. Anyway this is a very good book and I couldn’t get enough. So many twists and turns! I thought about halfway through I had figured out what the twist would be....but I was oh so wrong. This author is one to continue watching.

I enjoyed this book. It was really good and it had a lot of suspense to it. The ending was way better than what I expected. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review

I genuinely had no idea "who dunnit" the entire story. This was an easy read, quick to hook me. I look forward to more of Freida McFadden's books.

I read One by One by Freida McFadden a couple years ago and absolutely loved it!
It was one of my first read by her and I’ve been a fan ever since!
McFadden keeps you so intrigued and glued to the pages!
I was so engaged in the story I couldn't put it down!
The pace at which the story unfolds is perfectly balanced, keeping my interest piqued throughout.
The characters are incredibly written. The story was engaging. And the writing was phenomenal!

Thank You NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

PLOT TWIST!!

I was absolutely convinced I had this one figured out, but boy was I wrong!

Overall this was a really easy, fun and quick read. I liked that we got 2 POVs one of what was currently happening and one that we didn't know whose POV it was but it gave us background information into the killer.

This was my Frist Freida McFadden book and I will definitely be reading more!

Superb! If you love a chilling, twisty thriller, don't miss this one! The last few chapters will shock you.

Wow oh wow! One by One is only the second novel written by Ms. McFadden that I've had the pleasure to read and I have to admit that enjoyed this so much more than The Housemaid (which will probably be an unpopular opinion). I really thought I had figured out all of the plot twists but I certainly did not! This is a fast pace to keep you on your toes thriller. I'm still in a book-hangover. Thank you so much #NetGalley #FriedaMcFadden for the opportunity to read and review One by One. This is a must for anyone who loves thrillers!

I totally forgot that I read this book already and thought this was a new release due to the new cover. However I remember really enjoying this one. In my opinion it wasn't as strong as The housemaid or Never lie but it was still a good and captivating story. Freida McFadden just knows how to write books.

Another great, fast paced book by Frieda! As per usual, I did not see the final twist(s) coming.

The chapters were easy to get through, and would alternate POVs between the main character and an undisclosed one. The way the novel was set up kept me interested/invested in the storyline.
