I would classify this as a Young adult thriller (high school age). It was exciting and fast-paced. A quick read.
Brooke is haunted by her past on a terrifying night.

This book was not what I expected. I read Megan's first book and really enjoyed it. The beginning of the book had me thinking I was in for some high school drama. But this book was way more than that.

I appreciated the thorough storytelling, but I did feel like the story started to drag in the middle. I felt like it was moving way too slow. I likes how the author kept switching between the present and the past so we could get the full story.

Midway I started to have my suspicions, but I didn't expect that ending. Overall, a good second novel. 3.5 stars rounded up.

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks for my ARC.

"No Place Left To Hide" centres around Brooke Goodwin, a senior at Waldorf Prep. Brooke's seemingly perfect life and aspirations for an Ivy League education depend on maintaining her reputation and trying to forget a troubling incident from her past. However, things take a dark turn when the anonymous harassing messages she has been receiving suddenly escalate to deadly threats.

The book draws readers in with its fast-paced, suspense-filled narrative, full of electrifying chase scenes and unexpected twists. While Brooke may initially come off as a self-absorbed rich kid, the tension and mystery of the plot quickly take centre stage, making it impossible to put down. 

The dual timeline structure adds layers to the mystery, as it intertwines the past and the present —revealing the mystery behind the fateful event 6 months ago that changed everything. With its blend of privilege, mean-girl drama, and high-stakes suspense, No Place Left to Hide evokes the vibes of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and 'Pretty Little Liars'.

A big thank you to the team at Sourceooks Fire and @netgalley for providing me with a digital ARC No Place Left to Hide. I also grabbed myself a physical copy while out shopping today because... Well, why wouldn't I? 🤭

Honestly I had to DNF. It was okay but wasn’t making me excited to keep reading or making me want to pick up the book and continue. Something was just lacking for me.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the arc

No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally is a gripping, heart-pounding thriller that keeps readers on their toes from start to finish. The novel follows the journey of a woman on the run after witnessing a crime, with nowhere safe to turn and no one she can trust. Lally does an exceptional job of building a tense, high-stakes atmosphere, keeping the suspense alive with every page. The stakes are high, and the pacing never falters, making it a true page-turner.

Lally’s writing is sharp and engaging, drawing you into the protagonist’s increasingly perilous world. The character development is strong, particularly with the main character, whose resilience and determination to survive are both relatable and inspiring. As the story unfolds, the tension continues to escalate, and Lally does an excellent job of keeping readers guessing about who can be trusted and what will happen next.

What really stands out in No Place Left to Hide is the emotional depth woven into the thriller. While the plot is fast-paced and full of suspense, Lally also manages to explore themes of trust, survival, and the psychological toll of living in constant fear. The complexity of the characters and their relationships adds an extra layer of depth to the story, making it not only a thrilling read but an emotionally resonant one.

That being said, the plot can feel somewhat predictable at times, and some of the twists, while satisfying, aren’t as surprising as they could be. Additionally, the ending, while satisfying, left me wanting just a bit more resolution, as some loose ends felt like they could have been tied up more fully.

Overall, No Place Left to Hide is an engaging and suspenseful novel that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. With its strong pacing, emotional depth, and high tension, it's an excellent choice for fans of psychological thrillers. It’s a solid 4/5 star read, and Megan Lally certainly shows great promise in this fast-paced, thrilling debut. I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my review.

This YA thriller had me from the author's dedication! It gave 'Mean Girls' meets 'Pretty Little Liars' vibes which I was here for. I found one of the FMC Brooke so extremely annoying, but it was needed for the storyline! It was a quick and fun read!

"Revenge is a bitch...and so am I."

Thank you NetGalley, Megan Lally, and Sourcebooks Fire for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

I read this book in one day because it’s a quick read and I couldn’t put it down. Think back to high school - all the friends, the parties, the parents expectations….

Brooke comes from a high profile family that has a serious image to uphold. Unfortunately for Brooke her parents are more worried about themselves and their image to make their daughter feel loved and wanted. When she gets into Yale her dad’s response is that he expected it and reminds her that this is one step in her road. Heartbreaking to read!!

Brooke holds a back to school party in September and at that party something terrible happens. Someone thinks Brooke is responsible and is harassing her but Brooke won’t tell anyone. As the harassment escalates into a fast paced ending the reader is along for the whole ride!

Another outstanding thriller from this author! I was thrilled to dive into this book, especially after being captivated by Megan’s debut novel, That’s Not My Name. I couldn’t wait to read more of her work, and this book absolutely delivered. Packed with secrets, drama, and confessions, it was truly popcorn worthy.

From start to finish, I was on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. I had plenty of theories along the way some of which turned out to be right, but the twists and new details constantly kept me second guessing myself, which I absolutely loved.

I will admit, this book had a knack for making me dislike the characters. Even when I didn’t know who was guilty of what, I found it hard to root for most of them. However, understanding their motives added complexity to their actions, and I think it’s a testament to Megan’s skill as a writer that she evoked such strong emotions in me.

Ultimately, I couldn’t put this book down and finished it in one sitting. Megan has officially become an auto buy author for me, and I can’t wait to see what she writes next!

*Thank you Netgalley & Sourcebooks fire for giving me the opportunity to read this as an early copy!*

No Place Left to Hide can best be described as if Mean Girls were a thriller! It has a very Pretty Little Liars feel to it, being an edge-of-your-seat young adult suspense. It had me hooked from beginning to end. Though I found the twists predictable pretty early on (unlike Lally’s debut book “That’s Not My Name”), it still had me rapidly turning the pages. It’s a very quick and fun read that held my attention throughout!

Thank you to Megan Lally, Sourcebooks, RBMedia, & NetGalley for the ARC! All opinions are my own.

Thanks for the arc!!

A great second book! Wondered about the twist and was surprised I considered it. A really quick read and I enjoyed it.

I am a big fan of this author, and I was excited to read her Why novel. And the story definitely starts out with a bang. Brooke is the perfect student, the perfect daughter, and is very soon off to her perfect college career hopefully at an IV. She has a best friend and a boy she likes who seems to like her back, the only problem is the death of her former friend this summer before keeps tainting her success and making everybody think she had something to do with it. As the story goes on, you realize that not everybody in this story is who they say they are or has the intentions that they say they do. I will say that I did figure out what was going on early on, but I was definitely engaged enough to keep reading and to see how it all unfolded. I did find the ending Kind of anti-climatic and I’m not sure if that’s because I knew what was going to happen or it just felt like it was wrapped up too quickly and too tightly. I know that my students will be a big fan of this book so it will definitely have a home in my classroom

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the whole present to past part of this book! Each memory gives more answers to the mystery behind what happened on the lake in the past. I found some part to be fairly predictable but others that I didn’t see coming! The characters were well developed and the setting is perfect for the story. I would recommend to anyone who likes mysteries and psychological thrillers involving young adults!

I haven't read a YA thriller in awhile and this one caught my attention. I enjoyed it. It's a really quick read with short chapters and lots of action. It definitely kept my attention with the suspense. Yes, the characters can be pretty awful but sometimes it works and it did for this one.

Out MC Brooke is all about her perfect image. One night last summer, while out with her friends at her lake house, something terrible happened, someone ended up dead. This changes everything for her, and now she's paying the consequences. She's getting suspicious calls….and she thinks someone is out for her. She's been accepted to her dream university now, and it's hoping for a fresh start. She's invited to a bonfire and goes. On the way home, someone starts to recklessly tailgate her and her friend. She knows that someone is out for the truth.

Such a fun read. I highly recommend it if you want that HS thriller with some twists and lots of drama!

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the gifted copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of No Place Left to Hide. It goes without saying, kids can be mean. Megan Lally took that statement and transformed it into pure ruthlessness. In the beginning, I was worried that the pacing was a bit slow. As I kept reading, I began to get into the book and the story came together. There were a few aspects of the story that were underwhelming but overall, I think it was a good read.

WHOA - that was one intense and crazy ride! Megan Lally delivers a second heart pounding, pulse racing, edge of my seat, thrilling book!

While I usually tend to stay away from YA thrillers, Lally has shown me the error of my ways! After reading 'That's Not My Name' and loving it, I was beyond excited to check this book out. I was immediately hooked and reading about Brooke "now" versus "then" brilliantly added to the suspense and intrigue. As Brooke's life was becoming more frantic, so was the "then" storyline of Brooke. This is one of those rare books (for me)where I wish I could read it again for the first time.

I rated this 4.5 stars but happily rounded up to 5 stars. I imagine some readers may say they knew who was harassing Brooke from the very beginning but I am one who enjoys figuring it out quickly then sitting back, tensely waiting for the other character(s) to figure it out.

No Place Left to Hide released Tuesday January 7th meaning it is available NOW! I'm so excited for others to read it and I hope people love it as much as I did!

Thank you NetGalley, Megan Lally, and Sourcebooks for the opportunity to read this in exchange for honest feedback. It was a delight!
