Wow wow wow okay Megan I see you - you have officially made my auto buy list!

I was lucky enough to receive this book as an ARC and let me tell you I was screaming when I was approved, this is the second book I’ve read by this lovely author!

This book follows Brooke - to Brooke, image is everything, and that drive for perfection makes her such a compelling character in this heart-pounding thriller. Megan Lally crafts an intense story where the consequences of a mysterious incident loom over every moment. The book explores Brooke’s struggle to balance her desire for a flawless life with the dark secrets that threaten to unravel everything.

The pacing is excellent, especially when Brooke and her best friend are pursued by the ominous truck. The fear and suspense during that scene are palpable, and I found myself on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. Lally’s portrayal of Brooke’s inner turmoil adds depth to the story, making it more than just a straightforward thriller.

I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because, while the tension is masterfully built, I would have loved a bit more insight into the history between Brooke and Claire and their families. That being said, the slow reveal does keep you hooked and invested in the outcome. Overall, this is a gripping read with plenty of twists and turns.

Highly recommend!

I read No Place Left to Hide in one sitting. While it didn't have the emotional punch of the Megan Lally's first novel, That's Not My Name, it was a fun, disturbing tale of the cruelty of some teens. I couldn't put it down and though it definitely seemed more geared toward the teen age group, as an adult, I was enthralled and horrified at times and did NOT predict the ending.

This was one that kept me guessing until almost the end! It’s refreshing to read a thriller where you can’t figure anything out right away. I will keep looking for titles from this author!

Megan Lally has become my favorite thriller aurthor. Her first book broke me and this book was another emotional wreck. This aurthor knows how to hurt her readers good and dying to read more book by her.

I did like this one a little more than the other book I read of hers but it still wasn't my favorite read! I don't enjoy the banter of high school kids - it always feels a bit juvenile, which I know is fundamental to the character's age.

However, I did enjoy the twist in this one and even though I had a gut feeling about it, I still appreciated it!

Brooke is a teen at a prestigious high school who has secrets. These secrets have to do with the death of her best friend Claire last year. However, someone seems to know Brooke's secrets and is determined to reveal them.

This one sounded so interesting! I generally really enjoy YA thrillers, but this one missed the mark for me. The characters were all so, so unlikeable, and so I didn't super care about their fate. It also felt really predictable throughout. I appreciate the author trying to leave clues for us but these were more like big signs of this is what happened. It had promise, but just wasn't for me.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

3.5⭐️ rounded up to 4. I loved Megan’s first book. I enjoyed this one as well and how the story wasn’t really what you thought it was. I just didn’t love it the way I loved That’s Not My Name.

I have previously reviewed That's Not My Name by Megan Lally and enjoyed that, so I knew I had to read No Place Left To Hide as soon as I could. The description gave I Know What You Did Last Summer vibes and I was here for it.

The story followed Brooke as she was being harassed by someone regarding an incident where a girl died months before. We get flashbacks to right before it happen and trying to guess what actually happen. We also get current time as Brooke is waiting to hear if she gets into Yale as a legacy because of her father. Right from the beginning I did not like Brooke really. She was definitely entitled and also not very mature in how she was handling things. I get her not wanting to draw attention to her issues, but the sheer lack of control she had should have been her sign.

I love how Lally keeps the story flowing. I did not feel like there was any lulls in the story or moments when I wanted it to be more. Her writing kept me hooked and the story flowed fast enough to keep me turning the page. The characters were all interesting and had me guessing throughout to try and figure out who I thought was behind it all.

The only reason I didn't give this book a 5-star review is because of the ending. I felt that while the story was great and the climax was intense and thrilling, it then screeched to a halt. The lack of consequences for some at the end seemed unrealistic. I felt that was only believable if the police investigating everything were completely incompetent. Some things were just too obvious for the cops to not look into more. I also wish we would have heard just a bit more at the end to wrap it up.

With that, the story was still great and I loved how intense it was. Megan Lally definitely knows how to keep you on your toes! I will be picking up all future Megan Lally books after this.

No Place Left to Hide was a fast-paced read with a compelling mystery following two girls who find themselves targeted on an isolated road.
Brooke Goodwin has worked hard to repair her reputation since "the incident" that threatened to take it all away. Getting into her dream university is just icing on the cake so when her classmates want to celebrate their college acceptances, Brooke can't say no. After a perfect night, Brooke and her best friend begin the ninety minute drive back home when an old truck starts aggressively tailing them. Someone thinks they know what really happened the night of "the incident" and they won't stop until the truth is exposed.
No Place Left to Hide alternates chapters between present day and six months prior when "the incident" took place. The dual timelines was a great choice as it helped build up to the reveal of why someone was after Brooke. In the flashback chapters we learn something major happened at a party Brooke hosted to celebrate the start of senior year. It doesn't take long for us to learn what happened between the clues revealed in the two timelines although the full truth of what happened does take longer to come out. I was really invested in the flashback chapters, wondering how we'd go from a fun party to something much darker.
The present day chapters are where the bulk of the suspense and action in the story are. After a few chapters of set up, we get to the part with Brooke and Jena trapped in Brooke's car as someone is chasing them down which is the majority of the present day section. With the two of them in danger, Brooke reveals to Jena that someone has been harassing her for months after the special investigation into what happened rules it an accident. It becomes clear that whoever Brooke's stalker is, they're also the one chasing her but the author does a good job keeping their identity shielded. The ending of the book is incredibly well done and contained several twists I didn't see coming. We also get an epilogue of sorts where we see the planning and aftermath of what happened which was an excellent choice.
Overall No Place Left to Hide was a fantastic read and I would highly recommend it if you're in the mood for a quick thriller.
I received an advance copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

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!

Loved! I was a big fan of Megan Lally’s last book,that’s not my name. While I liked that one better, this was still good and surprisingly good for a ya book as an adult reading

When you think you are going to finally get a fresh start but yet the past still manages to catch up and find you…. I loved this book, finished in a sitting to figure out where or not this girl is going to be able to outrun her past or not. Very interesting and a must read.

3.5 stars. Worth a read but not as satisfying as her debut novel. It was engaging enough to finish but not as memorable, unfortunately. I will definitely be reading her next one though. Megan is a great writer.

The end of the book left me speechless and I am still trying to wrap my mind around everything what had happened.
The pace was fast. The characters interesting but also at times annoying. The plot good but in my opinion there were things left open.

This book is crazy! I went in thinking it was going to be fairly tame but I was proven wrong in the best way!

A YA thriller that really grabs you from the beginning! I had high hopes for this one as I loved Lally’s That’s Not My Name. This book was insane, and I loved the big reveal at the end. While the ending was a bit rushed and one of the twists was very predictable, this book doesn’t get 5 star quality from me. However it is worthy of 4 stars. I really enjoyed it.

Her debut was amazing… what happened? This was beyond predicting. I guess the twists and turns were only on the road.

This was a fun YA thriller. A fast paced quick read with multiple twists throughout. Mean girl vibes with lots of drama!

A fast-paced and shocking story that was easy to read in just a couple of sittings, even if the characters are all rather unlikeable. I did guess the twist early on, but I do tend to do that for most thrillers, and that doesn't detract from the story.
