Thank you to NetGalley, Taylor Adams and Joffe Books for the free e-book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow ladies and gentlemen! This is definitely one that shouldn't be missed! I enjoyed this one equally as much as No Exit surprisingly. It's fast paced and in the first few chapters I was afraid I was going to be disappointed, but it gets so much better and it was incredibly difficult to put down! There are so much twists to this novel and I was never sure when we were getting the truth and what the main character was getting up to. This is definitely going to be a favorite for this year and I can't wait to get my hands on a hard copy! This thriller is very unique, fast paced and twisty - you won't be disappointed!

This book does not disappoint!! Immediately you are sucked into the story and the characters. This was my first introduction to Taylor Adams and I am immediately picking up the first book by this author. The writing style is so easy to devour with great description of the scenery. This is very much a story you want to go in knowing nothing. If you're looking for a thriller that has you immersed in the plot, characters, and scenery, definitely pick this one up on June 15th. This novel does have a creepy element to it with the history of the bridge so if that is something that grips you, read this as well. I love the main characters and suspense of this novel. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me an arc copy of this book.

So this book was ALMOST perfect . The story was absolutely gripping though . But just short of perfect . Let me explain .

Firt off.. I actually took notes. During this read. Because I needed to write my thoughts down !
This book was very gripping , however unbelievable.. but then again .. isnt that what books are for? To escape into an unbelievable reality . So I won't deduct points .
What I did deduct my one star for what the difficulty to follow the story. The back and forth between the characters had me backtracking and re reading a few pages , because . . What the hell is going on ! This was a huge complaint for me . And maybe I'm one in a million to have this issue? But it made the story harder to follow than it already is !
That being said , I couldn't decide what it was the author wanted me to believe. And I think that is the genius of the writing . I was so confused in who I wanted to believe. Again - the point ! The back and forth . You form an opinion, than "BAM" another twist to throw you off . This book made me realize .. I'm not detective material AT ALL lol .

Near the end I felt the author may have tried to wrap things up to fast.. yet not fast enough.. make sense ? So it felt like some things were rushed .. but also, there was at least 5 times I thought I was reading the ending. Only to get another chapter .
The whole shoot out scene lost my attention . For a good chapter or two, I was ready for this book to end . . But then . Calm.. more twists? 6 endings 😆
And alot of vulgar descriptions of women . Namely, larger women .. I'm not going to deduct anymore stars . Because as much as this bothered me personally .. its not a deductable offense in my eyes . It honestly really just drove the nail in the coffin . "Ray" hated his " dairy cow of a wife" . I know exactly how he felt toward her thanks to these descriptive choices .

I'll admit I went into this one with some trepidation. It seemed to be receiving mixed reviews and so I was concerned I would not love it. I don't like to read too many reviews before I start a book, but this was popping up on my feed as all over the map. I think possibly some of the mixed reviews come from the high expectations that come after reading No Exit. I read No Exit at a difficult point in my life and it was exactly the thriller I needed to get absorbed and lost in. I think is was a thriller that wow'd many readers.

While admittedly, out of the two books, I enjoyed No Exit more, this still had me completely absorbed and flying through the pages. It was as intense as I would expect a Taylor Adams book to be! I truly enjoyed this and was satisfied by the entire tale. It is a wild ride that you need to buckle-up for. I was completely engaged in this read and I think if you like intense and thoroughly entertaining reads, this will be just as exciting of a read for you.

My complaint is that I do not know if I loved the constant switching of POV. I wish we just stayed with a select group of characters. That said, I can see how these multiple-POVs lead to some thrilling moments in the book.

I would argue that this is a popcorn thriller and I mean that in the best possible way. If you enjoy popcorn movies, this can be compared to any such action/thriller flick.

Well, this was fun.

Not my first time reading the author and it won’t be my last. He’s just a blast.

It’s an over-the-top adrenaline rush of a book. You know…the kind of book where it ramps up into one impossible situation on top of another and another and another…until you realize you haven’t actually been breathing for a page or two.

There are times – many times – when you’ll have to forget about logic, but you won’t care. You’ll just be so into Lean and some girl power fury.

Fast, fun, and I want more.

I really loved this book!! It had so many twists and turns. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next!! This was my first book by this Author, and it won’t be the last!! Quick read!! Highly recommended!! You won’t be disappointed!!

What a weird book. It basically starts with telling the reader the end of the story, and then the next 300 pages are just explaining how it got to that ending.

As I read, I thought I had a pretty good idea what the ending would be. I was wrong. And I’m actually disappointed that I was wrong because while my idea was predictable, the actual ending was... rough. Honestly, the further I got into the book, the more bizarre the storyline just seemed to get.

I will say that it kept my interest enough to make me want to keep reading, but I would not say that I enjoyed it.

Thank you to Joffe Books & NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book!

Probably if I had not just finished No Exit, I would have appreciated this one more, but it was still quite the ride!

Lena’s twin sister, Cambry, supposedly committed suicide by jumping of Hairpin Bridge, but Lena knows there is more to the story, even if they are estranged.

Corporal Raycevic meets Lena to discuss the details surrounding Cambry’s jump, and Lena will stop at NOTHING to uncover the full truth.

A lot of action all packed in to just a matter of hours! I also really appreciated learning some of Lena and Cambry’s backstory. Definitely provided insight into the characters.

I was pleasantly surprised by Hairpin Bridge and finished it in one sitting. The story unfolds over a few hours as Lena Nguyen tries to uncover the truth surrounding her estranged twin sister Cambry’s death. Cambry Nguyen’s death is ruled a suicide, but there are many things that just don’t add up, including a number of calls to 911 before her death. The book chapters are told in an alternating timeline format, one happening in “real time” as Lena searches for answers, and the other told by Lena as a way of guessing what she believes happened during her sisters final moments. This format took me a little while to get use to but once the pieces of the story began to fall into place I quite enjoyed it. This is definitely a thrill ride of a book, full of high action car chases and shoot outs. My only issue with this novel was some of the villains dialogue seemed a bit too basic “bad guy” to me and pulled me out of the story at times. As with most thrillers, there is some suspension of disbelief necessary to fully enjoy the story, but this was definitely a fun ride with a strong ending. Thank you Net Galley and Joffe publishing for the ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

If you enjoyed No Exit then you’ll love Hairpin Bridge. I however couldn’t stand either of them.

Hairpin Bridge just seemed like one long car chase. It was incredibly repetitive and the “twists”weren’t interesting enough to make up for it.

Fans of No Exit (me!!!), rejoice! Taylor Adams has brought us another twisty-turny insane story and I'm here for it.
A young woman, Cambry mysteriously jumps to her death off of what had been called the "Suicide Bridge". But her sister, Lena, refuses to believe her cause of death was suicide, and decides to meet with the police officer who discovered her body. But Lena also has her suspicions that the cop might also be a killer. Throughout a few hours of this bridge, where essentially the entire book takes place, Lena is determined to find out exactly what happened and won't stop till she has her answers.
While a little unbelievable and over the top at times, Hairpin Bridge is unputdownable and would make an incredible movie. Definitely add this to your summer reading list!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the DRC in exchange for an honest review.

Another heart-pounding book by Taylor Adams!

This was a fast-paced thriller full of intense action and gory details that kept me glued to my Kindle from the first page. Similar to No Exit, my anxiety levels were high in this one too! The suspense kept wanting to know more throughout. More in this case because almost every chapter ended on a cliffhanger. And every time I thought I knew what was happening, a twist came that made me question everything I had learned so far.

The only reason why it isn't a 5-star read is that I was confused by the narration in the beginning. The narrative in this book is unique and interesting but took me some time to get comfortable with.

Totally recommend this action-packed suspenseful thriller!

I tried to read No Exit by this author and failed. For me, it’s hard to read a book that takes place over hours to one day because I never feel completely satisfied by the plot. This was no different for me. I think a lot of people will enjoy Harpin Bridge especially if they liked No Exit, but it was just a miss for me.

I read and enjoyed Taylor Adams previous book, No Exit. I’ve recommended that book to so many people and still think about its fast-paced, action thrill ride. So when I saw Hairpin Bridge was releasing, I couldn’t wait to read it. Unfortunately, and maybe I’m in the minority, but this book was not it for me...at all. This is similar to No Exit in that it all takes place during one day with only a handful of characters and a crafty heroine as the main character. But instead of being a fast-paced moving story, this read just seemed to circle around the same info over & over and by the time we find out what happened, I found I didn’t care. The way the story is told just didn’t work for me or keep me interested, I didn’t care about any of the characters and the story was really over-the-top with believability for me. The meandering plot and implausible scenes just made this a real flop.

Lena travels to Montana to do her own investigation on the case of her twin sister’s death. The police ruled the jump from Hairpin Bridge as a suicide, but Lena isn’t buying it. So she jumps in the same car her sister drove there, brings a tape recorder, and set up a walk-through of the event with the officer who found her sister’s body...and his story doesn’t add up right from the start. This officer is the last person to have seen her sister alive the day prior when he pulled her over, he’s the one who found her body the next day, and he was named in the last text sent to Lena...so what exactly happened to her sister, was it murder or suicide, and what is going on at Hairpin Bridge...

Thank you to the publisher for an e-ARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest thoughts & review. Hairpin Bridge will be published June 15, 2021.

What a wild ride!! Taylor Adams did not disappoint with Hairpin Bridge. A story about twins, Lena and Cambry, Lena searching for answers of Cambry’s death. It was a little slow at first but it picked up very quickly. The ending was what really brought this up to 5 stars for me, twists I didn’t see coming. A story about family, the secrets that they keep, and the lengths they’ll take to find out the truth. Could not put this down! Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for the advanced eARC.

Hairpin Bridge was a thrilling novel that topped Adams' previous book No Exit. One year ago, Lena Nguyen's twin sister, Cambry, apparently killed herself by jumping off of Hairpin Bridge. The Bridge is the setting for the majority of the book, as the reader slowly pieces together why Lena ended up back there and what happened to her sister. The book allows Lena to narrate in three different formats. The main plot of the book traditionally alternates between Lena's point of view and the other people she encounters on the bridge. There is also a lengthy blog post dispersed throughout the book that explains what Lena knows and why she decided to return to the bridge. Finally, there is Cambry's story, told by Lena as the most unreliable narrator because it is Lena's version of the events, which may or may not be the whole truth.

This book grabbed my attention in the first few chapters and did not let up. Adams does a great job of withholding information from the reader only to reveal new twists at the maximum time to keep the story moving forward. Many times I thought I guessed the next story beat only to be delightfully proved wrong. Lena is an exciting protagonist, with the book slowly pulling back her layers to show new strengths and weaknesses. I was consistently thrilled by this novel and Adams doesn't let up at any point. This was a great thriller with complex characters and I could not turn the pages fast enough during plenty of sections of the book. I can't wait to read what Adams writes next because this is the second thriller I've read by him that has been a great example of a thrilling novel.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I have come to realize that books that take place over a few hours or one day are just not for me. This takes place on one crazy day where main character Lena meets with a police officer in a remote area of Montana to talk about her twin sister's suicide on Hairpin Bridge. Lena has been estranged from her sister but she cannot believe that Cambry would kill herself. The police man she meets with may or may not have reliable information about what took place that day. To say it goes down hill from there is an understatement. This was fast paced and had a lot of action in it.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book for review.

This is my second book I have read from Taylor Adams. This novel was very reminiscent of No Exit, in the style and pace of writing. You were a little confused throughout, but I am not certain that was on purpose.
We follow Lena as she is trying to uncover what really hapoened to her twin sister, Cambry, the night she died.
There were some twist and turns. The perfect novel if you just want to escape for a little while.
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this novel in return for an honest review.

If you loved "No Exit," you will love Taylor Adams new book. It has the same kind of fast-paced, high-octane ride that will have you glued to the pages. It is an intense and graphic read but so, so good.

Unfortunately, I was not a big fan of this one. I had a pretty decent experience reading this author’s last book, No Exit. It seems that they went for a similar set up with this one in keeping in line with the isolated setting with a small cast of characters, but I felt like a lot of things missed their mark.

With No Exit, we were set up to guess which character was the bad guy, and here we are given the bad guy up front and we are trying to piece together exactly what happened to our main character’s sister. While this can sometimes work, I rarely enjoy this style of mystery/thriller.

The isolated setting of the abandoned bridge was compelling as was the sister dynamic. But the strange narrative style with kind of wacky POVs was not a hit. We have the main character’s POV, main character writing as her sister “telling her story” (which is just her saying what she THINKS happened), the officer’s POV, and then another sprinkled in. It was too much and hard to differentiate sometimes without searching back through the text for names.

The pace surprised me in this, the story starts very slow and doesn’t pick up until maybe halfway where it hits breakneck speed — with twists happening left and right.

Ultimately a miss for me, but a lot seem to be enjoying this so it is worth a shot to pick it up and see where you fall!!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the chance to read this early for free in exchange for an honest review
