I had to ruminate on my review for this book before committing to clicking submit.

I have been in a thriller kick for a while now and was super excited to read this. Megan Lally is a phenomena writer, so any chance to read her new work is a win for me.

The storyline is easy to follow and fast-paced, but somehow, equally slow. It only took a day to finish, which we love to see! The characters frustrated me, but they’re mostly teenagers, so that was an on-par reaction (lol).

I will say that I was disappointed that I didn’t enjoy the ending, and felt that it was a little predictable. As we got closer to end, I was hoping for something more.

I do recommend reading this book, it’s worth a read. If you’re looking for a thriller that isn’t too intense, you’ll enjoy this!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to an ARC of this book!

Brooke tries to have the perfect appearance especially after the incident. She decides to go to a party to celebrate getting into her university of choice. Then she is getting tailgated and her worst fear may happen.

3.5 stars ⭐️ rounded up. I feel like I had flashbacks to another similar book I recently read. I did like the back and forth between past and current as it added to the drama. It seemed a little immature at times, but it is a YA novel.

Thank you to Megan Lally, RBmedia and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

No Place Left to Hide is a fast-paced young adult thriller. This is the second book I’ve read by Megan Lally, but I’ll admit it wasn’t my favorite. I think the reason this book didn’t hit for me was that the plot felt a bit too YA. A lot of the issues the teens were dealing with made me roll my eyes. Overall, this was just an average read with no major shocks or surprises.

This teen thriller was a gripping, atmospheric page-turner that made for the perfect popcorn read!

I’m always drawn to a good revenge plot, especially when it’s packed with rich people behaving badly, catty mean girls, unreliable narrators, and delightfully unhinged, unlikeable characters.

Told through dual timelines, this fast-paced, tension-filled read flew by thanks to its brisk pacing and short chapters.

3.5 stars rounded to 4 for Goodreads

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Megan’s first book and was so excited to see her second book was out! She did not disappoint! I couldn’t stop reading this book! The audiobook was fantastic as well!

I listened to an eARC of this one & it’s easily one of the best YA thrillers I’ve come across. It has major Gossip Girl x Pretty Little Liars vibes, which totally gripped me. This isn’t my usual genre but I kept seeing it everywhere on BookTok & it absolutely lives up to the hype. I was captivated the entire time and did not see the twist coming!

Wow, this put Mean Girls to shame. For a YA thriller/mystery, I liked it more than I thought I would. The ending was satisfying but i needed an epilogue for sure.

This was a thrilling fun plot twisty book that can be read in a day! I loved to guess at which goats was around the next corner or which event haunted their past. The ending was phenomenal and the characters are to die for.

Actual rating: 2.5☆

Thank you so much to NetGalleyand the publisherfor providing an eALC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

This book is perfect for you if you are looking for an incredibly fast paced thriller with absolutely unhinged and unlikable characters.

However, I feel like this book was way to predictable so the twists didn't really shock me and it also wasn't that scary.

The audiobook was very good, the narrator did an amazing job distinguish between the different characters. If you pick this book up I would definitely choosing the audio version route.

This book was all sorts of nuts 🤣 seniors in a fancy school, all legacy type with a couple less privileged ones mixed in. Anything I say will give away spoilers, but it’s a mystery and captivating!

A thrilling Audiobook listen with twists you won't see coming! Lally crafts a suspenseful tale that will keep you guessing until the very end. I loved the dual timeline, the narrator wove the story very well.

For a young adult mystery/thriller, it was good. It was giving a cross between Mean Girls and the Murdaugh Murder vibes.

The entire cast of characters were unlikeable, it very much had many “Ha! Sucked in moments” and it portrayed teenage jealousy, betrayal and rage very well.

I requested this after seeing the hype of Megan’s debut novel - That’s Not My Name and I’m hoping I can’t get to that one soon.

Thank-you @netgalley RBMedia and Megan for this Digital Advanced Readers Copy, in exchange for an honest review.

I read "That's Not My Name" by Megan last year, this was the same fast paced and engaging storytelling that made me wanting to keep listening. I liked the aspect of them being followed and trying to figure out who it was and why. I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next. Overall it was a good read. I do prefer adult thrillers over YA but I would still recommend.

I'm so glad I decided to take a chance on No Place Left to Hide. This thriller kept me interested from start to finish with complex characters, a well built mystery, and great tension all the way through with great end of chapter cliffhangers. Brooke Goodwin appears to have a perfect life, going to a perfect prep school and going to Yale in a few months. She just has to survive the next few months and she's free of a lake scandal from last year forever. However, one party and one night on the road threaten to dismantle everything. The story itself is told in dual timeline, telling both of the day of the nightmarish drive and the night of the infamous party. While one section was easy to get lost, I did enjoy how both mysteries progressed at the same time. Brooke was a very interesting protagonist from start to finish. As the story continues, she becomes more intriguing. The other characters were also fleshed out and have their moments. I called the big twist early on, which made it so satisfying when the truth was finally revealed, and made the ending that much sweeter. It was a twist that I think readers paying attention will catch, but many will be blindsided by it. There is plenty of profanity and some gore. The narrator, Justis Bolding, does a great job with the narration, especially once certain things are revealed. If you're looking for a good YA thriller, give this a try.

I like this aduibook. I think it had an interesting plot. It had me hooked from the very first page until the very end!

This was a quick and easy YA thriller to read! I liked the dual timeline, and the suspense, but this reads YA and one of the main aspects of this book is catty drama with HS girls, but this also had some adult topics mixed in.

Can I say wow! I can not believe how gripped I was by this story! I literally couldn’t stop listening.
This story is about a popular, wealthy, image conscious Brooke who is being blamed and harassed for her potential role in the death of her best friend Claire. What happened that night at the lake? Only Brooke seems to know mind you someone certainly thinks Brooke had something to do with it. After an evening of celebrating with her friends (Jenna and Felix) and her crush (Dylan) at a lake house it appears as though Brooke’s enemy/stalker is ready to get Brooke to confess at all costs.
This book was non-stop entertainment. I felt like I was back in high school or that I was watching an episode of gossip girl or pretty little liars. I’m an avid thriller reader and I must say this is a fantastic YA thriller. If I was in my teens I would have read this and made all my friends read it too. This is my second book by Megan Lally and I loved this one even more than the first (which I also really enjoyed). Solid 4.5 star for me..

Story: 3.5 ⭐️
Audiobook narration: 4.5 ⭐️
Overall: 4 ⭐️

The main character, Brooke Goodwin, is an Ivy-hopeful from a majorly well-to-do family, and she just needs to get through the end of her senior year (at a Waldorf private school, of course) unscathed. The problem is that someone clearly has it out for her in the wake of some Serious Drama™️ that took place at the back-to-school party she threw at her family's lake house. Now, she's finding slashed tires on her car, dirty lake water in her locker, and literally hundreds of calls from a mysterious blocked number on her phone. The last thing her family needs is its name dragged through the mud when they are waiting on her Yale acceptance and her dad's appointment as judge, so Brooke quietly cleans up the messes and puts her phone in airplane mode. If she ignores this, it will just go away, right? Right?!

Told from Brooke's first-person POV in two timelines, "before" (in the fall) and "now" (in the spring), the entire plot of No Place Left to Hide is the incremental revelation of who is after Brooke and what happened back in the fall that has them putting pressure on her.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I felt like the first half dragged along, but the second half was perfectly paced, especially once it became clear that the truth about both the past and present would be revealed at the end. These characters have exactly ZERO charm—in fact, they are downright insufferable—but I found their story ultimately satisfying.

Justis Bolding's narration was spirited and very listenable. This is my second listen from this narrator (the first being Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch by Codie Crowley), and I found her instantly recognizable when I heard one of the voices she uses for teenage boy characters. Felix in this book sounds *exactly* like the twins Hunt and Howl from Vengeful Bitch, and I can't decide if that is cool or not.

Author: No Place Left to Hide

Author: Megan Lally

Megan Lally does a fantastic job of keeping the reader on their toes and unsure of what’s going to happen next. I felt as if the characters were built well in this book because by the end, I couldn’t stand any of them, even the victim, which I think was her point. This book read more YA than her previous thriller, which is jading my thinking a bit, her last thriller although YA did not read that way to me as much as this one. Obviously, that’s my issue not the authors.

Spoiler: The audio was great except for the very end when they were reading the text messages. All the initials and abbreviations made this part very confusing.

Enjoyable thriller, I will continue to look forward to Megan Lally's books.



Instagram review coming soon.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I will definitely be reading more. This was a fun and fast paced YA novel. Some of the twists were surprising others were a little predictable, however still entertaining. All of the characters were interesting and developed throughout the story. I listened to the audiobook the narrator did a great job, she narrated for all of the characters. Would recommend for someone looking for a YA action-packed story.
