This was a complex back and forth thriller. Yes I enjoyed it but I was a little underwhelmed. It was still a great read and I recommend. I think I just loved Taylors debut No exit so much that this didn’t feel as good
Ooooh! This was good! Just as fast paced and violent as No Exit, which was the first Taylor Adams book I read and prompted me to immediately request this advanced reader’s copy of Hairpin Bridge. I feel like the suspense was more ratcheted up in Hairpin Bridge, giving it an almost a frenetic energy.
This is a story of a twin sister trying to get to the bottom of her sister’s death. Is Raycevic good or bad? What were his motives and intentions? What are Lena’s? I really felt like I was out on the road with them with the fire fast approaching. I love the way Adams can write a scene and suck me in.
The relationship between the sisters seemed lacking for the majority of the book, so you depend on the implied twin bond as motivation for Lena’s actions. I think the relationship becomes clearer and more solidified at the end.
Overall, a great thriller! Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for this advanced reader’s eCopy.
I really enjoyed hairpin bridge. Super entertaining and equally as messed up, ha! Good for thriller fans. Would make another great movie
This book is fast paced and very entertaining throughout. It all takes place within a couple of hours with occasional flashback scenes. I had a lot of fun reading it, and overall recommend it for a popcorn movie horror/thriller experience. However, I do think certain twists and plot points were very convenient and not realistic. This is the type of book that you don’t think too hard about but have a great time while reading.
I absolutely loved it! Great book, great character development and intriguing story line. I would definitely recommend people this this one up!
No Exit was one of my favorite books of last year, so I was thrilled to be offered an advanced copy of Hairpin Bridge! What starts as a supposedly innocent confrontation leads to a life and death battle on an abandoned highway bridge. With new twists and turns I really didn’t see where it was going to end up, but overall I enjoyed it. Warning: very gory
Nothing can beat no exit, but this was really good! Fast paced and I loved the dual perspectives! I will definitely be looking forward to any other books that Taylor Adams writes!
This was one of my most anticipated summer reads. This one was just as intense & exciting as his debut novel, No Exit. Hairpin Bridge is about two twin sisters, one (Cambry) who allegedly killed themselves by leaping off a bridge & the other (Lena) who doesn’t believe it & is hell bent on finding answers. This one had so many twists and turns that I never knew what to expect! It kept me on the edge of my seat and it was agonizing when I had to put it down. I give it all the stars!!
I’m the beginning I thought I had it all figured out. But boy, was I wrong! This is one crazy, twisty, heartbreaking, addicting book.
I haven't read anything by this author before, so I didn't know what to expect. What I didn't expect was to enjoy it from the start and keep on reading until the very end. Recommended for anyone who loves a good read!
Hairpin bridge is a story of a girl named Lena looking to find out what really happened to her sister. Her sister is found dead at the bottom of a bridge as an apparent suicide, but Lena doesn’t buy it. She decides to meet up with the detective who called in the body and find out exactly what he knows. The story takes place on the bridge. Yes-the whole story. This fact alone made me resent this book. The plot was slow and it was too much car chasing for this girl. Would not read again or recommend
Unfortunately I didn't finish this book. I was so excited to read it because I absolutely loved No Exit by this author but for some reason this one just didn't hold my attention. I read about half of it then gave up. I would still give this author another chance though.
Omg! This book was amazing! I didn’t think I would be as shocked as I was! The first book by him was crazy good. This book knocked my socks off. It has you thinking one way then takes you down another just as you have it figured out BAM nope totally not how it ends! Highly recommend this author to anyone who loves a good thrill!
Overall Hairpin Bridge was a bit of a miss for me. I loved Taylor Adam’s first book, No Exit, and was really looking forward to Hairpin Bridge. We start of with Lena trying to figure out what happened to her twin sister, Cambry, who supposedly had jumped from a bridge in Montana. What follows is Lena’s interactions with a cop who was at the scene, but the pace is slow and the ending fell flat for me. I would still pick up Taylor Adam’s next book though!
I went into this book with such high hopes because I had heard great things about the author's first book but this one just didn't work for me. I listened on audio while also reading my ebook and the narrator's at times just didn't make sense to me. We are following two timelines in this book. The first is in present day and we are following Lena who is trying to figure out what really happened to her sister Cambry 4 months ago. We are also getting the last few hours of what Cambry experienced before she died. Im not really sure what didn't work for me with this one other than everything. I was underwhelemed by the story and the characters, there was a twist towards the end that surprised me but overall just not for me. Thank you Joffe Books and Netgalley for my gifted copy for review.
Honestly I was not sure what to expact of this story. It turned out as something completely different than I'd expacted. I've read No Exit by Taylor Adams and could not quite get the hype over this book.
However Haipin Bridge got me at the end. Like in No Exit Taylor Adams lets the story happen within a short period of time in one place (how does she manage this??) with lots of flashbacks to bring the reader up to the current situation.
Be sure to be confronted with some strong women and lots of 'bad guys' and some real action. Sometimes, IMHO, it was a bit too much action but the end made it for me!
Thanks a lot #Netgalley #Joffe Books for the ARC of this story
Hairpin Bridge is pure adrenaline. I felt my heart pounding out of my chest the whole i time I was reading this book. Did that stop me? No way. This up-all-night page turner had me hooked instantly. Taylor Adams is becoming a must-read for me for sure.
Lena’s twin sister died recently of a suspected suicide. Lena isn’t so sure and creates a plan to find out the truth about her death no matter what the cost.
If you like suspense you’re going to love this book. Thank you to Joffe Books and NetGalley for the advanced copy.
Too repetitive, boring and a little confusing. This book was just not it for me. I am not a fan of a book taking place all in one place really and not interested in finishing this.
This is another full on thrilling story from Taylor Adams. I did enjoy No Exit more, but this definitely lives up to the action packed thriller that No Exit delivered. Taylor Adams can really write intense stories. I did not get as invested in this story and the characters as I was in No Exit. But I definitely recommend this and will read everything Taylor Adams writes.
I wish this book met my expectations that I had as No Exit was a 5 star for me.
Lena wants to find out exactly why and what happened to her sister on Hairpin Bridge. The police said it was suicide but she doesn't believe that, but rather that she was murdered. For most of the story Lena doesn't waver on who she thinks killed her sister. I won't say whether she's right or wrong however this story for the most part isn't trying to tell whodunit but rather why it was done.
This book is told in dual POV. One told the sister's story and what happened before she died and the other was the story of the sister figuring out what happened. This was definetely an interesting choice and way to tell the story.
While this book as only okay and a 3 star for me, I will still considered by more of Taylor Adams' books in the future.
