Wow—this was fast-paced and wildly entertaining! It felt like watching a movie, and honestly, I wish it was one.

Brooke is anxiously awaiting her Yale acceptance letter, while her best friend Jenna is all about partying. When Jenna insists they attend another wild gathering, Brooke hesitates, haunted by memories of the last one—a night she’d rather forget. And she was 100% right to worry. Lucky for us, she went anyway!

I absolutely loved Brooke. She’s smart, strong, and driven. Since the story is entirely from her perspective—and given her popularity—the other characters tend to revolve around her. She’s super sassy, and I couldn’t get enough of her. The audiobook narrator did an amazing job, especially with Brooke’s voice, making it a performance well worth listening to.

Frenemy Clair was the only other standout character, and she was joyously awful—the quintessential mean girl done right.

The story alternates between “Now” and “Then” chapters, both centered around two pivotal parties several months apart. The events of the latter party heavily rely on what happened at the first, and the alternating structure keeps the suspense building throughout.

Were the reveals predictable? Yeah, I’m not gonna lie—they were. But honestly, I didn’t care. I was having way too much fun to be bothered. It felt intentional, like the way I Know What You Did Last Summer or Pretty Little Liars leans into its twists.

As a rule, I’m not usually a YA fan, but this thriller hooked me completely. The structure, the sass, the F-bombs, and that epic car journey—this is a must-read for any thriller fan who’s young at heart.

Thank you to NetGalley and RBmedia for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.
I loved Megan Lallys debut novel, That's Not My Name, and I think this book is even better! This book is about Brooke, a high-school student whose life seems perfect she just got into her dream school, Yale, and she decides to go out with her friends to celebrate. After the party, she ends up being tailgaited by a bronco while receiving a plethora of anonymous threats via texts. It seems her past is coming back to bite her in the butt. This story is told in past and present timelines, which was extremely intriguing and kept my interest piqued because I kept wanting to know what happened in each timeline.
In regards to the narrator, Justis Bolding, I thought they did an excellent job of keeping the suspense of the book going. They actually reminded me of my favorite narrator for thrillers January Lavoy. The narrator was so good i read the book in one sitting because I had to know what happened. Overall, I highly recommend this book if you love YA thrillers.

This was such a good book. I loved the story and the writing so much. The characters were great and the story flowed smoothly. Will definitely read more books by this author in the future.

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.

As for the characters, this book had a way of making me dislike most of them, even when I wasn’t entirely sure who was guilty of what. While I understood their motives, it was hard to root for them, which only added to the tension. It’s a testament to Megan’s skill as a writer that she could evoke such strong emotions, and that complexity made the story even more compelling.

Regarding the audiobook, I highly recommend it. The full cast narration elevates the experience, making it feel like you’re watching a movie play out. The narrators did an incredible job bringing the characters to life, adding another layer of immersion to the story. I would gladly listen to more performances from this talented team!

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 listen to 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.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. The twists and turns kept me guessing. Brooke is running from a secret, but will she manage to get away and start her new life at Yale? Or will she die trying to hide it? I listened to the audiobook version, which was very well narrated. I didn’t want to stop listening.

Thank you NetGalley and RBmedia for the opportunity to listen to this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
I finished this in one afternoon/evening. Once I started I could not stop listening.
Two timelines and one heck of a story. Teenage drama, dueling friend and a bit of revenge. And talk about a surprise in the last hour and a half of the book.
Great job by the narrator and also well written. Kept my interest.

What a wild ride of a now and then storyline that keeps you guessing the whole time.

So far a i really enjoy this authors writing and look forward to more

The last couple of chapters were everything and made up for the rest of the book. I definitely really enjoy this author, but found the main character to be super entitled and unlikeable so I had trouble getting through most of her story! I won't say the end was justice, but it was a satisfying ending! Definitely enjoyed this more an audiobook as the narrator did a really good job!

No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally is a young adult audiobook told from the point of view of wealthy, privileged, teenage, main character, Brooke who values image and success above everything. This audiobook was narrated by Justis Bolding who did a great job. Some consequences catch up with her after a horrible incident that happens after a high school party. I can’t say much more without giving away some twists! This is a very different type of book than Megan Lally’s first novel, That’s Not My Name, which I really liked despite the YA genre. This one is still a good one- a solid 3.5 ⭐️s which I’m rounding up to 4. Megan Lally is proving herself to be a master of suspense and YA thrillers. I think teens will like this one a lot. Thank you to NetGalley and to RBMedia for the opportunity to experience this ARC audiobook of No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally.

Brooke is looking forward to attending her dream university. She is invited to attend a party with her classmates to celebrate their achievements and next steps in life. Brooke has a perfect night, hanging out with her friends and crush by a beach bonfire. But it soon turns into a nightmare as she begins being tailed by an old truck. She feels her life slip out of control as she tries to escape.

This is genuinely one of the best books I’ve read this year. It’s a young adult book, but it’s honestly enjoyable for any age. It was a quick and easy read, but had a ton of twists and turns and unique characters. Lally did a great job of building suspense, especially during the truck chase. Sometimes authors seem to rush through tense moments, but I was able to really feel what the characters were feeling. This was a really unique take on a ‘car chase’ thriller. I listened to the audiobook version and I really enjoyed the narration. Justis Bolding did a great job of distinguishing between characters and portraying emotion. Overall, a solid book. It was a nice change of pace from my usual reads.

Thank you RBmedia for providing this audiobook for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I was very excited to read Lally's second book. Her debut, "That's Not My Name" was one of my favorite books from 2024. "No Place Left to Hide" is a YA thriller that is set in Oregon. Brooke is an overachieving teen that is doing everything in her power to portray a perfect life. She has just gotten into her dream college and decided to go out with friends to celebrate at a party when the past comes back to haunt her. I felt very let down by this book. While the pacing is fast and keeps you engaged, the story itself is boring. Brooke is not a likeable character. I had a hard time defending anything she does during the book. All of the characters are extremely egotistical. Unfortunately this book is not for me.

I received an audio version of the ARC from the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was eager to read Megan Tally’s second book since I enjoyed the first one so much. This book definitely is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I was always eager to listen to what was going to happen next. This book felt a little too YA for me and that may be why I didn’t enjoy it as much as her other book. The writing was good but the story just didn’t hit as hard as I expected.

Megan Lally just became an auto-buy author for me! After her debut I loved her. After No Place Left to Hide? IM A GONER!

I love her writing style, the audio was fantastic and I was thrilled to see her sophomore attempt was JUST as good as her debut.

This YA thriller is a great book about a group of teens who have secrets that are soon brought to light! You can't trust no one and Brooke Goodwin has learned the hard way. This book will have u wanting to finish it the moment u start reading and the ending will have u floored.

I enjoyed this audiobook so much!!! Thank you so much NetGalley and RB media for allowing me to get a ARC of the audiobook. This was so much fun listening to. The story had me hooked from beginning to end. I wanted to know exactly what happened past/present and who was involved and how will it all end. I highly recommend this book it did not disappoint at all! It gave me the "I know what you did last summer" vibe and I loved it!

I received an audio version of No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally. The narrator was the perfect choice for this YA book. Well adapted to be read as an audiobook book.

I rated this 2 stars, however if I could give it .5 I would rate it 2.5 stars. It's unfortunate because I was really excited for this one and wanted to like it. Although I enjoyed the narration, I'm thinking for me, personally, it would have been better to read a physical copy.

I found this very had to get into until almost halfway through. It's a quick read, but took me longer because I had to take a break from it before finishing. I was bored. Also, there aren't any likable characters. Way too much spoiled, entitled, rich girl/mean girl. The twists were good, but predictable.

So this was by far one of the best thriller i've read all year to date.

this keep me up all night, listening to it while reading on my Kindle.

Totally recommended! Gripping good.

This is my second Megan Lally book and this one was different from the first. "No Place Left to Hide" was slow in the beginning was more of a mystery/thriller than a psychological thriller. This book was also set in Oregon, which as a PNW person, was really captivating for me. Both books are more YA and therefore, the writing/plot seemed to be more choppy or have more gaps (for me).

This second book is about a high school senior from a very prominent family who is being harassed for being suspected of a serious crime she may/may not have committed. Harassment escalates one night at a beach party and secrets are revealed.

I really liked the narrator; in audio form, the swearing was a bit much. It seemed really out of place in places (perhaps in book form it wouldn't have stood out as much?). There is a really good twist but this happens near the end, unlike her first book which grabs you from the very beginning. *I received a complimentary audio copy from the author/publishing company via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Whoa that did not end the way I thought it would! Brooke is from a well-known family, and her father is up for a Judgeship. Claire, used to be her best friend, but now just wants to hurt her and is out for revenge. Things go bad one night at a party. Fast forward, and someone is determined to make Brooke pay. Who is it? Who can she trust? Who was actually the bad guy here? This was great!!! You will be wrong about everything you think you know!
