Fantastic read!!! Could hardly put this one down.

Brooke is part of the perfect Goodwin family, and she works hard to ensure that everything about her is perfect. Brooke is invited to a party to celebrate with her classmates. After the party on the way home, someone wanted to make it clear to Brooke that they knew more than she thought. But what did they know? She’s perfect so couldn’t have done anything wrong.

Pros
Action packed, never a dull moment
Well written and excellent storyline

Cons
Nothing I can think of

Megan Lally’s No Place Left to Hide was so compelling I read it in one day. It’s been quite a while since I’ve read a YA novel, but this one held my interest all the way through.

4.5 Stars rounded up

I think this book was amazing! I read her debut and it made me ugly cry, but this one took my breath away. I was NOT expecting that ending and I am so shocked! I Absolutely recommend this book and it comes out on January 7th!

Pros:
-Backstabbing Friends
-High speed car chase scenes!
-Face-paced action
-Plot twist executed wonderfully *chef's kiss*

Brooke gets into her top choice college and goes out celebrating with friends. It was a great night, but on the way home she is followed. Could this be related to something she has been hiding for years? This book was a wild ride - I read it in one sitting.

This was a fun, fast-paced thriller. I really enjoyed the storyline and the twists. Full review is included in the link to Instagram.

How far would you go to keep your name clean?
Lally nails it again with another exciting thriller. No Place Left To Hide peels back the pretty facade of high school friendships and exposes the ugly truth of high society. Lally's writing is detailed and thrilling, pulling you in easily and bringing you into her heart-racing worlds. If you're looking for a fast-paced mystery that will keep you guessing until the end, you've found it.

Someone thinks Brooke is a monster, after all her ex best friend and rival ended up dead at her party.

I loved the book’s introduction page it got my attention from the beginning.

The chapters alternate from present tense to past tense. So we get a little bit of the story at a time as we go.

The Books release date is January 7 which also happens to be a significant date in the book which I thought was a really cool touch.

I literally couldn’t put this book down once it really got going. I had to stay up to finish it.

I had many guesses as to who was messing with her and as to what really happened the night of the party. This book kept me guessing and kept me hooked the whole time.

The twist was absolutely crazy. I will definitely be picking up more books by this author in the future.

⭐️: 3.5/5 (rounding down on #goodreads)

Meet Brooke. Prep school senior, anxiously awaiting to hear if she got into Yale. Her father is in line for a district judge position. Image is everything to her family - by any means necessary.

I loved - LOVED - Megan Lally’s first book, That’s Not My Name (peep my top 10 books from 2024). With that one, I was truly shocked it was billed as a YA thriller. This one, however, is… most definitely a YA thriller. A solid one - but far more YA than one would necessarily expect, and it appears in the plot and its plot holes, as well as the characters and (predictable) reveal.

There was a lot done well here though - and the pacing was so break neck that I had to take a few moments away from the pages to catch my breath. Without spoiling anything, I’ll just say that some of the current day narrative chapters are the most suspenseful, heart pounding pages I’ve read. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Even with its critical pieces, I’ll be continuing to pick up Megan Lally books as solid popcorn thrillers.

Big thanks to Sourcebooks Fire via @netgalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. No Place Left to Hide is out on 1/7!

ahhhhh!!
No Place Left To Hide by Megan Lally is a fun YA thriller that does not stop with the shocks till the very end. Some will say this is a really predictive novel about wanting to find out the truth, but I found this to be an unpredictable novel about not knowing what to believe till the very last page. I found the pacing to be even, and as some books drag in the middle, this one did not.
We follow a plot that revolves around seniors in a private school, rich families with power, a car chase late at night after an unexpected guest at a beach party, and 2 timelines. In one timeline, we are being fed information leading to “the incident” at a lake house party. In the other timeline, it’s present day, and we follow a car chase and a stalker that will not leave the main character alone.
Long story short, this is twisty, cheesy (but in a good way), and it had me wanting to holler quite a few times! I really enjoyed this one, I just wish we got more of a visual at the end in regards to a nice little reveal.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review! 4.25 ⭐️

I really enjoyed this book! I feel like every time I read her books there's a new and interesting thing that she happens to come up with.

You almost always want to root for the main character because you think that they are the good persons in the story. I did that up until the very end. There's a Twist, and I was like damn! I didn't see that coming. I am so glad at the end day because it's like the perfect bow to wrap up the story

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

What a wild ride! Literally this story went from 0 to 60 in a matter of pages. I could not put it down. I loved that the main character who we were set up to root for was actually so dark and twisted. In the words of Taylor Swift re Brooke, It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me! The one criticism I have is that once Brooke found out the big twist, and that her best friend set up this elaborate scheme to blackmail her to confess, it was way too easy to figure out who the two coconspirators were. Otherwise this was perfect!

4✨ Wow another great YA read by Megan Lally! This book centers around Brooke who works hard to maintain perfect grades, perfect looks, a perfect life especially for her high status family. However there was an incident at her lake house where a girl ended up dead. Brooke can’t wait to escape everything from her town but not before going to one last party. The question is, will she survive the night?

This is a fast paced, nail biting, anxiety inducing thriller. It switches between the present and the past and so the story unfolds. I could not for the life of me put this book down!

The twist was very good but at about 60% in I guessed it (still a good twist). There were a couple of things I didn’t expect which were good additions. There also were some things I do consider plot holes but hey I’m not mad at that. It’s just pure vibes for me✨ And this one was vibing🤭 I feel like if you like pretty little liars, you will like this book!

Thank you Net Galley, Sourcebooks fire and Megan Lally for this ARC copy.

I absolutely loved her first book, That’s Not My Name, and this one was pretty good as well! I couldn’t put it down. It had me hooked from the very beginning. There was so much suspense! It had my heart racing at times wondering what was going to happen next. I wasn’t expecting that ending. I did guess some of the twists, but not all. It was a nonstop ride that I think thriller lovers would enjoy! I can’t wait for her next book!

No Place Left to Hide focuses on a group of senior high school students and the pressures they face with school, social life, dating, family and privilege. Everyone deals with the stress differently. Brooke Goodwin comes from a strict family where high achievement and outward perfection are expected. The chapters alternate between Before and Now, referring to an incident that jeopardized everything.

l don’t believe I am the intended audience for this book as the teenaged drama and stupid decisions were just a bit much for me. However, there are times when the tension and edge-of-your-seat anticipation of what was going to happen next were excellent. The twists were surprising, and I was shocked to find out the truth about some of the characters. Overall, 3.5 stars! Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the digital ARC.

No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally is an interesting suspense story that is perfect for young adults similar to I Know What You Did Last Summer but it doesn’t show much after that concept.

4.5⭐️

First, I cannot thank NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire enough for the ARC copy of this great YA Thriler.
*Note this one is available 1/7/2025*

I enjoyed Lally's debut novel so I was hoping the same for this one and boy did she deliver!!
I didn't find any of the characters to be likeable really, but that's what made me enjoy this story more. I think the way this was paced was done perfectly. The story unfolded in a great way.
I started to somewhat suspect what may be going on around the 60% mark, but honestly it did not take away from the enjoyment at all. Great shock factor and a truly fun read for sure!

I definitely recommend reading this one!!

Book review: No place left to hide by Megan Lally

This is a follow up YA thriller from Megan Lally who came out swinging with her banger That’s not my name!
Once again we are taken on a nail biting thrill ride narrated from the POV of Brooke. The chapters alternate between past and present, focusing on the death of a classmate and the aftermath. Someone thinks that Brooke lied and they’re out for revenge, things will continue to escalate until Brooke fesses up. Brooke doesn’t know what to admit to and she doesn’t know how to stop her stalker. How will it all end?

Well you’ll just have to read it and find out!
I really enjoyed this one, relatively quick read that kept you flipping the pages and a nail biting conclusion for this popcorn thriller. If you enjoyed that’s not my name I think you will enjoy this one.

Thankyou to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

3.5- I enjoyed her first book better, but I still finished this one in less than 24 hours so it did start the year off good! Without giving away spoilers, this thriller wasn't the cookie cutter thriller and I enjoyed it being different. Definitely a YA thriller (everyone is in high school).

Thank you, NetGalley, for the chance to read this ARC! This is my first book of the year, and it’s already raising the bar!

Six months after a classmate's tragic death at Brooke's lake house, Ivy Day has arrived, and Brooke is eager for this to be the turning point in her life. However, as decisions from Ivy League schools come to light, significant secrets begin to surface as well!

I truly enjoy a captivating YA novel, and "No Place Left to Hide" certainly delivered! I finished it in just one day and was thoroughly engaged! The story was filled with suspense and mystery, and the plot flowed seamlessly, keeping me hooked as I eagerly turned the pages to discover what would happen next. This is definitely a five-star read!

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC.

I absolutely fell in love with Megan Lally's writing after reading That's Not My Name and was so excited to dive into this one. This book was a page turner and I NEEDED to know what happened next. This had me loving some characters while others were extremely unlikeable. However, when it came down to the "stalker", I found that I had things for the most part figured out. It was still a very entertaining read, but I just didn't love it as much as I had hoped.
