No Place Left To Hide by Megan Lally
3.25
Read Completed 1/20/25 | 3.25 stars | Book #4 of 2025
Megan Lally's debut, THAT'S NOT MY NAME, was my favorite book of 2024, so needless to say, I had really high hopes for this one. I did get to see seem reviews that put my expectations in place before I read it, so that definitely helped my enjoyment, though.
This was an easy read, much more young adult in terms of.... reading level? It was much simpler and less complex than THAT'S NOT MY NAME. I didn't enjoy it as much, but it was easy to breeze through and I really did like the ending! It had a little bit more of a slasher vibe than psychological thriller, which can still be fun but usually doesn't blow me away.
The beginning took a little too long for my tastes, since it's a shorter book. By 20%, I'm hoping to really be into the heart-pounding thriller aspects and we were still setting up high school parties -- in the present and in the past. I wished there was a little more sinister of a feeling to the flashbacks. It took a while to really get dark!
I liked a lot about the ending and I could have given it 3.5, but part of the believability took me back down. It was still a fun read, but much less gripping than TNMN, in my opinion!
