3.5 Stars

This book had my anxiety and stress GOING. Writing wise, it was great. Will be reading more from Megan Lally. it was fast paced and tense. the ending however ruined what could have been a four star book. it honestly made no sense and it felt like it just came from nowhere with no lead up. our main girl, Brooke, was really the only character that felt somewhat fleshed out. Maybe if this had been longer???

I might have to reread it and move a little slower to see if I can pick up anything I missed that lead to the ending.

IF YOU LIKE: a good girls guide to murder - then you might like this!

This is a great book! I truly enjoyed the story. No shortage of twist and turns. If you are a Holly Jackson or Karen McManus fan this is definitely a book for you! Loved it! I’ll definitely be looking into this author!!

wow is all I am going to say this book kept me on the edge of my seat and I’ll tell you a must read!! It kept me reading chapter after chapter. I couldn’t stop reading. Talk about Heart pounding. The twist though I thought I knew but wow!!! I will be reading more of this author right away!!! There were so many things that I didn't expect from this book. I flew though this in two days, She now one of my favorite authors, The adrenaline was really it had my heart beating fast. This is mean girls with a twist. This is my first ARC but cant wait to read more,

This is my first Megan Lally book and what a great first read by her! The story has two timelines “Before” and “Now”. They were both strong and flowed nicely with the plot.

Brooke has the perfect life now, or so it seems. On the surface she is popular, just got into Yale, and the boy of her dreams, Dylan, asked her to prom!

Things changed for Brooke when her former friend, Claire, mysteriously drowned at the last party she threw at her lake house. Claire made sure she had everything Brooke wanted including Dylan.

Fast forward to now and Brooke starts to receive calls and pranks relating to the lake house incident. Things take a wild ride when Brooke and Jenna (her other friend) leave a beach party and they travel down a road with no service. From road rage to buried secrets Brooke and Jenna’s friendship is tested as they drive home from the party.

From the moment I read the dedication I knew this book was going to take a crazy ride! Thank you Megan for an exciting journey in the “mean girl” world.

Thank you Sourcebooks , Netgalley, and Megan Lally for an advance reading copy of this book.

Omg I loved this!

The only things Brooke Goodwin should be worrying about are whether or not she’ll get into Yale and what club she’ll spearhead next. Unfortunately, her senior year didn’t go exactly as planned when her former friend, Claire ended up dead at one of Brooke’s famous Lake House parties last September. Suddenly her life is thrown into a tailspin, her parents don’t trust her and she’s dodging calls from No Caller ID. Someone is wanting the truth from that night and will stop at nothing to get it. Can she escape her past before it ruins her future?

Wow! This was fast paced and had me eating up every word! I loved the characters and how the story developed. the POV from before and now set the temp immaculately. I would love to see this made into a movie. Especially with those driving scenes, it would be great! It was the perfect YA thriller!

Haters will say it was predictable and sure, it was in parts, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that this was still amazing! I LOVED That’s not my name and not much can hold up to it imo, but this was a fantastic second novel! I will devour anything Megan Lally touches! 🥰

Trust no one.

I'm rounding up to 3.5 ⭐️.
Thank you Net Galley for this book. This book was a little slow for me and I struggled to stay interested in the story. I loved That's Not My Name, so much. This is my second book by Megan Lally, and I will continue to read what she writes.

This was such a fun read! It was dark and tense and gripping, the perfect fall book to read at 2 o’clock in the morning! It was like an exciting blend of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. My only drawback is that the main character was kind of irritating at times with her repetitive perfectionist rich-people mantras, also I wish the ending was made to be a little less predictable because it would have been a really fun twist if it wasn’t kind of obvious, but overall I had a great time reading this! Thank you to netgalley for early access to this arc!

After loving this author’s debut, I was excited for this book. However, it fell flat for me. The plot didn’t have any thriller elements I haven’t seen many times before. The car chase reminded me a LOT of ‘Run on Red’ by Noelle Ihli. The twist was a let down, and I didn’t feel any attachment to the characters.
This will be a fun read for new, young thriller readers but unfortunately I don’t think it will appeal to many seasoned thriller readers.

I don’t think I’ve ever disliked so many characters in one book. Overall good suspenseful read. It’s filled with high school drama, over achieving mean girls, revenge and doing whatever it takes to do the right thing to find justice.

This was so good!

Brooke Goodwin is a promising student aspiring for Yale. Her life is perfect but only on the outside. She has a secret, she has been being stalked ever since an accident at a party she threw. It's been months and her stalker is done being passive!

Just as soon as I thought I had it all figured out (way too early!) the twists got twistier. Megan Lally is the best and everyone should read this book!

What a ride! The highly anticipated second book by Megan Lally kept me on the edge of my seat and did not disappoint. Finished it in one day! This is Young Adult (YA) which I normally don’t read/enjoy but her first book had me hooked on her writing style.

This was a twisty, jaw dropping book. No place left to hide was my first by Megan Lally but it won't be my last. Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for my ARC.

This was a quick and easy read. A little easy to figure out and there were some parts that didn’t add up to me but overall it was a good book.

Brooke Goodwin seems to have the perfect life. Wealthy parents, great grades, good looks, popular, and many extracurriculars. The only thing she doesn’t have is her longtime crush, Dylan. She also has a stalker that’s trying to get the truth about “the incident”.

As Brooke gets dragged by her friends to a party celebrating student’s success of getting into Ivy League schools. As she’s leaving the party with her best friend things quickly turn as her stalker starts following them down the windy mountain road.

Rating: 4 stars ⭐️
Genre: YA-mystery
Release date: January 7th, 2025

This was such a good mystery, it made me addicted from the start. I was so obsessed with this book that I stayed up until 5 AM, unable to put it down! ✨

If you want to read an addictive fast pased story with a twist, I would highly recommend this story.

The book begins with Brooke Goodwin, a senior at Waldorf Prep with a dark secret. Brooke is being harassed because a local teenager, Claire Heck, was involved in a drowning accident at one of her parents property’s and someone wants to uncover the truth about what happened…

As the mystery deepens, we're introduced to a cast of complex characters, each with their own motives and hidden agendas.

Thank you to Netgalley, Megan Lally and Sourcebooks Fire for providing me with this copy. All opinions are my

oh my gosh. This book was good. I did not wanna put it down for a second. I wish I could read more from her. Thank you netgalley.

I love how Megan Lally writes. I read That's not my name and I was needing more. The story was so was chefs kiss. The writing was so good. I needed more from her. Then she announced this gem. When I got accepted for this book I was so freaking excited. And guys, gals, gays, and they's. This book is so good. Megan Lally is such an awesome author.

I can't thank NetGalley and the publishers enough for granting me this ARC. Earlier this year, I had read "That's Not My Name" by Megan Lally and loved it so much that when I heard about her new book, I couldn't wait to read it!

I had high expectations for "No Place Left to Die," and it exceeded all of them!
I was so drawn in by the plot, the writing, and the characters that I read it in less than 24 hours.
The pace was as fast as the car chase that we followed; it was impossible to stop myself from reading. The atmosphere was spooky and eerie; I was on the edge of my seat every time I had to begin a new chapter. The layout made the suspense, as we swung between past and present chapters.

I don't want to spoil the plot, so I can't say as much as I want.
Despite some predictable elements, some plot twists left me shocked. The characters were also very interesting, and my heart goes to Jena ♡.

A book I will recommend over and over, and I'm sure that I'll remember this reading for a long time.

This was a great twisty YA thriller with a Gossip girl vibe that will have you second guessing everything as more and more is revealed!

When Brooke gets accepted into her dream school, nothing can get in her way of success. But there are many secrets in this story that will potentially bring everything crashing down. After a celebration party, she is being run off the road. Who’s following her and what do they want?

This book started out a tad slow then I just couldn’t put it down! It was a quick read with a satisfying ending!

I was a BIG fan of Megan’s first book: That’s Not My Name, unfortunately, I didn’t love this one quite as much. What I will say though, is I really rate Megan’s writing style. It’s sharp and edgy and filled with so much suspense.

No Place Left to Hide, rates at 3 stars for me, the fast-paced ending, the short chapters, the tension had me pushing to finish it within one sitting. It was certainly easy to read and I’d definitely recommend this to YA thriller lovers. But, unfortunately, I didn’t feel much investment in the characters, the characters were all extremely unlikable. I guessed what was going to happen very early on and it felt really far fetched with one too many plot holes and inconsistencies. I’m disappointed I didn’t love this one as much as I was expecting too, but I can see a lot of readers absolutely devouring and loving this one.

Just as a side note: this would adapt REALLY well into a movie.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review 🙂

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for an ARC of this title.

I absolutely loved this book! It was not at all what I expected. There were twists and turns and the ending...Oh! My! God! THAT ENDING! If you enjoy fast paced, YA books I definitely recommend you grab a copy right away!
