Thank you NetGalley and RBMedia for the audiobook of No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this one it was fast paced and easy to follow. I did find it to be somewhat predictable and the story line didn't feel original, The audiobook version of this was great. I listened to it in under 24 hours and the narrator was fantastic.

Was unaware that this was YA. I heard the hype around this book, however, I just could not get into it as much as I would have hoped. I really enjoy Lally's writing style, but I could not relate to any of these characters. I did enjoy the narrator, however. It is such a quick read if you are looking for something more fast paced in thr YA realm.

Thank you NetGalley and RBmedia | Recorded Books for and ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

Was excited to read this after That's Not my Name was my favorite YA thriller of 2024. This didn't let me down and was a fun, intense read.

Brooke has worked hard to maintain perfection in all aspects of her life. She is working to recover after an "incident" that changed her life forever and almost ruined her prominent family name. Since the incident, her parents haven't been the same and everyone has treated her differently. After finding out she got into Yale, she is talked into enjoying her first social night out since the incident. She thinks this will change everything and give her a fresh start. On her way home with her best friend, Jenna, she notices a truck tailing her. She wonders if this has anything to do with the calls, slashed tires, and newspaper clippings left about the special investigation into the incident. Someone is searching for secrets she does not want to reveal. It was an intense action thriller chase as they travel into a barren area with no cell service, at least 40 minutes away from the next town.

The book goes from present POV to the past POV detailing the incident that changed everything. It involved Claire, Brooke's old best friend who had a family scandal that made her move out of town. Claire shows up in Brooke's life again at a party and ruins everything. But did Brooke cause her death? This was a fun, fast paced suspenseful read. Similar to That's Not My Name, it doesn't read as YA in my opinion and I enjoyed it very much as an adult!

Thanks to NetGalley and RBMedia for the ALC in exchange for an honest review. Newly released 1/7/25.

4.5 stars! 💫 O. M. G. No Place Left to Hide had me hooked from the first page to the very last! Huge shoutout to RBmedia and NetGalley for the ALC! 🙌 It’s a YA thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists and all the high-drama suspense you can handle. One minute, I'm like, “I totally got this,” and then—BOOM—twist after twist, leaving me shook! 🚨

✧ High-Stakes Drama 🔥
✧ Secrets & Lies 🤫
✧ Twisted Revenge 😈
✧ Suspense That Won't Quit ⏳
✧ Heart-Stopping Chase Scenes 🏃‍♀️
✧ Unreliable Narrators 🤥

Okay, so here’s the sitch: Brooke's life was perfect—perfect grades, perfect everything… until one wild party at her lake house turned into a nightmare. Someone ends up dead, and now she’s got some serious consequences coming her way. Someone’s lurking in the shadows, and it’s turning her life into a full-blown horror show!

The drama? OMG, it was so high school, so messy, but so entertaining. I was ALL in for the ride. The pacing? A++! BUT. The characters… um, yeah. They were all kinds of problematic. I couldn’t root for ANY of them. Brooke, poor girl, was stuck in a cycle of bad decisions, and honestly, I was like, “Can someone just do something smart for once?!”

As for the ending? 😵 WHOA. Didn’t see that coming. Megan really knows how to keep you on your toes! The twists were INSANE, though there were a couple of plot holes that left me scratching my head (like, um, why did only one person get caught?). But despite that, I was STILL glued to the page the whole time! 📚💨

And I have to give major praise to the narrator, Justis Bolding. 🎧 She brought the intensity of the story to life in such a gripping way—her pacing, her tone, the way she conveyed the tension… it was perfect for this kind of thriller. I was totally immersed in the story because of her performance! 🌟

Would I recommend this? Heck yeah, if you’re into YA thrillers that will keep you up at night with all the suspense, drama, and revenge. Get on it, like, NOW! 🙌

Rating 4/5 ⭐️

This was such a fun listen!
It kept me guessing the whole book and really left you wondering what was going to happen next.

Brooke is a popular teen about to graduate and go off to college. Her family is really well known in the community. She is used to getting her way, not having consequences, and having the perfect image.

She is trying to move past an incident and start a new life some where else, but someone won’t let her forget it. As she and her friend are driving home they are being chased and told to confess what really happened during that incident.

This book switches between the past and present. It gives you two different timelines which really allows for you to grasp and understand what is happening and why it is happening. The characters were really well drawn out.

This is the perfect thriller for teens, YA, and adults. It is a super quick listen, the narrator was perfect, and the plot was riveting.

Thank you to NetGalley, the Publisher, and the author for the ARC.

Megan Lally’s first book, That’s Not My Name, was on my shortlist for my favorite book last year. I have recommended that one to countless people, all with amazing feedback. When I saw this book, the cover made me think of her last book, and it immediately got me excited. This book did not disappoint. It was a rollercoaster, and I loved every moment.

The book’s POV is from Brooke, but it’s across two timelines. One timeline is the present day, and one is simply just being called before. Before referring to an incident that Brooke will fight to keep hidden.

It’s hard to go into details without spoilers, so I won’t say much. I will say the way the present day and before are woven together is perfect. There are a few twists that you will see coming, but that still doesn’t affect the power they have.

Brooke comes off as a character that you don’t want to like, and the more you learn about Brooke, the more you will dislike her. The reveals that come out about both Brooke and her family, while not always shocking, always make you hate them all.

I love it when an author can pull this off. She gives you an unlikable character that just does crappy things, and they still managed to get you so invested in the story.

Everyone should have this on their list of books to check out in 2025.

3.5 Rated up
In this fast-paced YA thriller, Brooke is (trying) to live her best life as her past keeps coming to haunt her. Who is messing with her? Who wants her to keep reliving the worst night of her life when she just wants to move on. I couldn't get enough of this and NEEDED to find out- the answers did not disappoint 👏🏼

Just finished a wild ride! 🎢 This book had me on the edge of my seat with its fast pace and mounting tension. The flip between past and present kept me hooked, and those mini cliffhangers? Pure genius! Even if the characters were a bit outlandish, the heart-pounding action made it all kind of worth it! 📚💥

I just love Megan Lally. Her latest, No Place Left To Hide was a great one! I listened to the audiobook and couldn’t put it down.

My first book by Megan Lally.

Fast paced YA thriller. Audio kept me engaged the whole time. Recommend if you need something new!

Brooke is a perfectionist who values her image above all else. After a traumatic incident, she works hard to maintain a perfect life. When she gets into her dream university, she agrees to celebrate with her classmates. However, her night takes a turn for the worse when someone begins aggressively tailing her and her best friend on their way home. The mysterious driver seems to know the truth about the incident, and Brooke must confront her worst fears in order to survive.

The author discussed the challenges of writing a new book after achieving great success with a previous one. I can only imagine the pressure they must feel. While I have the luxury of sitting back and enjoying some incredible books, offering my honest opinions, it's not fair to overlook the immense pressure authors face.

I found this book to be enjoyable, although it's important to remember that the target audience is young adults, so it may not fit the typical thriller mold. The writing style was engaging, and I appreciated that the plot didn't give away too much too soon. The characters were portrayed as typical teenagers dealing with drama in their lives, some of whom were insufferable due to their privileged lifestyles and entitled attitudes. It's crucial to keep in mind that this is a young adult book, as there were moments that might elicit an eye roll.

While some aspects of the story may have been a bit far-fetched for real life, they were still somehow believable. The writing was suspenseful, dramatic, and dark, catering to the target audience while still providing an enjoyable read. Although I preferred the first book, I appreciate the author's consistency in maintaining the tone and style.

If you're a fan of heart-pounding, dark read with unresolved teenage drama, or enjoy stories of revenge among mean kids, this book is for you. It's a binge-worthy read with unexpected twists and turns, particularly as the story reaches its conclusion.

Thank you, Sourcebooks Fire and RBmedia, for the digital ARC copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Excellent book! I loved the author’s debut novel so I snatched this ARC up as soon as I soon her name on it! I went into it completely blind and was drawn in immediately. I listened to the audiobook in less than a day, the narrator was perfect! Highly recommend this one and I cannot wait for her next book!

No Place Left To Hide is a heart pounding, addictive, unputdownable, fast paced thriller that had me absolutely consumed. After Megan's debut which was absolutely amazing, I had high hopes for this one and once again she delivered. The suspense throughout the whole book is on high. The Before & After timelines were truly getting inside the thick of what happened. Once those twists started hitting it just fuelled my need to keep on reading and race to the end.

Beware these are some of the most unlikeable characters ever. They are seriously hard to love. They're not quite adults but not teenagers either, they're 18, so sometimes their decision making might not make sense to you, but it's normal, they're still figuring themselves out. This is a YA thriller and this is what Lally does best, for me she did a great job with it. The plot was great, the storyline also everything progressed nicely with all the thrills. The author truly has a special way of writing and building her stories that am I truly a fan of !

This is a great binge worthy YA thriller with unexpected twists and turns that will keep your heart racing until the end.

🎧 The narration by Justis Bolding was great. I loved her voice & tone. She did a really good job at building the suspense and creating the fear. I could feel it in her voice. She brought the characters to life!

✨️Thank you to @netgalley, @sourcebooksfire, RB Media & @meganlally for my gifted ARC & ALC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Net Galley for the ARC audio of No Place Left To Hide. This is a bingeable YA thriller. Brooke, Jena and Claire are classic mean girls of teenage elites. Rich kids who are entitled and will do anything to get what they want and this book is a story to prove that. I cannot believe how Brooke handles this situation and then her dad’s reaction. My mouth was on the floor at the ending!! I cannot believe how it all played out! Great thriller and completely terrifying! It reminds me of the Murdaugh family. 3.5-4 stars

Is there such a thing as too many twists, mysteries and what is happenings? If your answer is no or at least in the dozens then No Place Left to Hide is sure to leave you thrilled!

Megan Lally truly knows how to keep the YA thriller genre feeling fresh and new, both of her novels have used the themes that are popular in the genre but with fresh twists and turns. In No Place Left to Hide, Brooke has just been accepted into the family alma mater, but even that is not enough to please her family after last year's "incident". That one night has haunted her, culminating in her tires being slashes and someone stalking her to get her to tell "the truth". She hasn't responded and now the stalker has ramped up the hunt and turned it deadly, chasing her and her best friend down an isolated road. Will she survive the night and the truth come out? What do they think really happened that night?

This book was dark! The kind of thriller that I absolutely love, where there are multiple mysteries and timelines. There was no shying away from the terrible things that can happen when people think they can get away with anything. It was not the most terrifying story, which is a bonus for those that want a thriller without the horror or lots of gore. The audio in particular was a great way to read this, because the narrator did an excellent job of giving the story presence and characters personality, bringing it all together.

While the book was thrilling, it was not the most surprising end. There were a couple of things that I didn't guess, but for the most part I saw most of the big reveals coming. I still enjoyed the journey the author led me on, and the craziness of the plot though. But this might be a turn off for some people. Another thing that could be a deterrent is if you need to have a character to really root for, because the people in this story are at a minimum unlikeable.

I loved Megan Lally's first thriller and am delighted that the second is just as amazing. She is fast becoming a go to author that I will recommend to all of my thriller lovers. I really enjoy how she writes from one POV, but still manages to give all of the characters such rich personalities. I can't wait to continue to read more of this authors work.
