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.
