Thank you to NetGalley and RBmedia for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a good job. I really enjoyed the author's debut novel but this one fell flat for me. This book was predictable from start to finish. The pacing was good, but it lacked suspense and I didn't love or root for a single character so it was hard for me to get invested.

3.75 stars rounded up. I felt like this book was a little slow in some places and there was a lot of high school drama. Overall, I enjoyed the book. It had several twists that kept me wanting to read, and I wasn't expecting the ending.

YALL!!! Just go buy this book right now. I am officially a Megan Lally stan forever. I read That’s Not My Name last month and my jaw was on the floor the whole time. I got approved for this book and the audio for it and I was so excited to jump in. I read this while listening to it and when I tell you the twists and turns will take you for a ride I’m not kidding. I was very impressed by the narrator for the book. The voice changes for each character did the book justice and I was sooo glad for it!! Now to the actual story; this book has some twists and turns you won’t see coming. The whole time I was on my toes. I listened to parts at the gym and I had people coming up asking what I was listening to because of my facial expressions 😂

This book follows Brooke to a party after getting into her dream university which her best friend dragged her to. She didn’t want to go until she found out her dream guy was there. Brooke had an “incident” the year before and this story follows that time line as well. Everything seems fine at the parties but you just never know what’s going to happen. If you love thrillers then I highly recommend running to get this book right now!!

Thank you NetGalley, Megan Lally, Sourcebooks, and RB Media for a copy of this ARC and ALC!

Brooke was once the epitome of popularity at her high school, effortlessly charming her classmates with her radiant smile and outgoing personality. However, everything changed after a mysterious incident during the summer break. Since then, she has withdrawn from the social scene, no longer the vibrant social butterfly she used to be.

Beneath her composed exterior lies a heavy burden—she is concealing a deep, dark secret that haunts her, one she believes nobody is aware of. Just when Brooke thought she could keep her past buried, she starts receiving unsettling messages from a stalker. The sender insists that she must come forward and reveal the truth about what happened.

As paranoia begins to creep in, she finds herself questioning who could possibly know the details of her secret, and whether anyone she once considered a friend could be behind these messages. The tension builds as she navigates a world where trust has become scarce, and the shadow of her past looms ever larger.

This was a great sophomore novel. I was glad to see that Lally was able to duplicate the tension and thrilling twist of "That's Not My Name" with a new story behind it.

I didn't love how much suspension of disbelief was necessary--there's no such thing as a tapped bumper at 90mph, and I would have loved at least a partial reason sooner as to why Brooke wasn't able to bring problems like these to authorities, or at least her parents. However, despite those things, I couldn't stop turning the pages. The fear, intrigue, drama, and suspense all came together in a wonderfully entertaining YA thriller.

Unfortunately this was a miss for me. I think it was the narrator. I much preferred Sophie Amoss in Lally's last book to this narrator. It didn't flow, felt fragmented. I don't want to give the book a poor rating over the narrator but they missed the mark on this one.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing the audio in exchange for an honest review.

YA thrillers are a hit or miss for me, especially because I get turned off if there's a romance subplot. Yet, I was excited to read this one because I loved Megan Lally's first book, 'That's Not My Name'. So, I went in blind.

The book is fast-paced and kept me guessing what happened that night. The chapters alternate between past and present, told from a third-person narrative. The last chapter and twist is too good. I loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this title for my honest review. I listened to the audiobook and liked the narration. The storyline flowed well and had some surprising twists and turns. I was invested early in the story and didn’t want to stop listening. I found myself wide eyed at some surprising moments. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable mystery that I would recommend.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC opportunity!

I really enjoyed this story. It had the perfect amount of back and forth in timeline to keep you guessing. I started to catch on to Jenna half way through the chase scene, but that was the point. Once i connected those dots, the rest made sense too.

The ending was perfect too. It left it open for interpretation on if they continue to get away with it or not, but lets be honest. We know they did.

This was a fun ride!

While I really loved Lally's debut, I struggled with this one. To be fair, I 100% picked it up on the strength of her previous book, even though this premise didn't appeal to me in the slightest. So I might just be the wrong audience.

What didn't work for me was how unlikable, unsympathetic, and uncompelling I found the main character. The majority of the book is from her POV and she annoyed me from the start. A rich, privileged girl who manipulates people to maintain her privilege? Getting all worked up over a high school boy she's crushing on? Very unrelatable to me, at every stage of my life.

I still very recommend her debut, if you get a chance!

No Place Left to Hide is a delicious young adult mystery. Presenting a perfect image is difficult and parental pressures are exhausting. Five stars!
The narrator was great!

I have to be honest, I felt let down by this one. I was so excited for this second novel by this author. There were so many moments of intense suspense so I gave it 3 stars. But unfortunately for me there were too many plot holes.

Thank you to NetGalley and RBmedia for the Review Copy of this Audiobook.

How far will you go to protect your image and to get what you want? What happens when someone thinks they know the truth and are set on making sure everyone else knows too?

For me, this was a 'page turner' to find out what was going to happen. However it was a little predictable to me. I didn't see part of it coming, but predicted another part. (No spoilers). Narrator was great given character age, etc. Would recommend this one.

No Place Left to Hide is a YA mystery thriller by Megan Lally that came out on January 7th. This one is FULL of messy girl drama! It’s a fast paced who-dunnit of sorts, starring a crew of high school senior girls who are totally boy crazy and extremely catty. The bottom line in this one - Trust No One! I personally found it a smidge too immature for my taste but that’s my own fault because I requested the audio arc before noticing it was YA.

I just couldn’t get into this one. It’s definitely for a much younger audience (however, the unnecessary cursing was a bit ridiculous. It felt like it was every other word). I just felt the entire thing was a bit immature and offputting. I enjoyed the previous book by this author, but this one wasn’t for me. It just felt like listening to a bunch of whiny teenagers.

The narrator was decent and fit the teenager role well.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and RBmedia for letting me preview this book in exchange for an honest review.

No Place to Hide is a total page-turner! This YA book throws you right into the drama with a group of friends who are being stalked. Think Pretty Little Liars with a dash of Gossip Girl – secrets, lies, and tons of suspense. I couldn't put it down! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am thorn between 3 and 4 stars!

The book was such a quick read that I could not but appreciate this. The mystery was not complicated. I grew a real anticipation towards Brooke and I kept wondering whether this is not weird or not :)
The book was easily predictable, though there were details, which were hard to foresee.

I’m going to start off by saying that this was more of a YA book…so, my thoughts on this one may be swayed due to that.

Brooke is a HS Senior. She comes from a very wealthy family…and their mindset is that that they CANNOT be touched. Her father is a local bigwig attorney who is now up for a judgeship….

If and when Brooke should ever find herself in trouble, all she has to do is call Daddy…

So, that ticked me off right there! I’m sure we all have someone on our radars who have similar tendencies…and I’m going to guess that they are NOT well liked…

That being said, her parents are NOT warm, fuzzy people. Actually, they don’t seem to care for her much at all…. But, being as her father’s carreer is notching up, she needs to always be on her best behavior…. And, being as she’s gearing up to be accepted at Yale, she needs to be her absolute best!

She does have friends at school, but are they truly her friends, or just in it for what she can bring to the table with her $$ and assets??

And being as we open up with the death of one of their classmates…well, this one is just all over the board…with feelings, rumors, accusations, and just normal…everyday…teenage drama.

I did enjoy it, but feel it was geared towards those much younger than I am!

This book was very well written. I love a book that I don’t see the twists coming and this book definitely succeeds!!! Definitely should be added to your TBR.

That ending!!!!! The first half of the book I was completely enthralled. The story was interesting and the time jump added so much to it. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to keep reading. From halfway up until about three quarters through it seemed way too similar to another book I had read and my attention started to fade. Until that ending! Brilliant! Thank you netgalley, Megan Lally and RB Media for this ARC. It was very well written and the narrator was perfect
