Cassie, her husband Jon, and their son Teddy moving into Jon's childhood home after he's inherited it. Cassie was glad to leave her old home behind her. At times, she felt someone was watching her. She is hoping the move to the new home will bring her friendships and a new beginning. Yet next-door neighbour Becca is sullen and rude from the outset.
Cassie 's only hope for friendship is Amy, who she meets in the park. Can Amy be trusted, or has she got an ulterior motive to befriend Cassie?

Oh boy, Cassie is so desperate to make friends that she literally lets in a stranger to her house. I think I would be a little bit more wary.

I Let Her In is told in different POV, which added to the story. There are not many characters, so it makes it easy to follow. Though I have to admit, I didn't really like either of the main characters. Cassie is weak. Jon is controlling, which really infuriated me. How did he manage to get away with it for so long?

I really thought I had the story sussed out halfway through the book, but the ending still took me by surprise.

This was an easy read, and I definitely will read other books by this author.

Thank you to netgalley and bookouture for the advanced reader's copy.

This was such a fun read. Quick paced and draws you in right away. I enjoyed the character development and friendship between Cassie and Ann. Definitely hated the husband! Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC!

This is a book that will draw you in. The description makes you want to get stuck right in.

I let her in is full ofl twists. Each and every one shocked me to the core.

Characters that you will love and plenty to hate.

This is a psychological thriller at its best. Bravo.

Wow! What a fantastic book! I was so intrigued from that first chapter so I literally couldn't put this down. I was dying to know what was going to happen. So many times I was frightened throughout this. It really has you hooked honestly and just when you think you know how it will end it completely shocks you! This author is definitely one of my favourites now! They know how to write a bestseller! I will be recommending this to everyone!

This was an ok read for me. There wasn’t anything that made it bad, but nothing that made it really good either. The plot was interesting, but predictable. It was a quick and easy read.

Cassie & Jon recently moved back to Jon's childhood home with their son Teddy after Jon's mother passed for a fresh start. Cassie is relieved to move into a more reasonable sized house compared to the house that they were living in, and happy to get away from whatever or whoever was lurking outside the house. But, what exactly is Cassie getting herself into?

It doesn't take long for Cassie to meet a new friend and they quickly became close.

Jon seems to know the neighbor, but doesn't want to tell her how. It doesn't take long for Cassie to realize that they know each other, but the question is just how well.

This book was from different points of view so really gave a good look into what was going on from each persons perspective which i really appreciate. This book was fast paced and easy to not want to put down!

I really liked this book! It was a great page turner. I will admit though, that the characters were pretty frustrating at times. There were several obvious solutions to their problems, such as secret cameras. Overall, the story was great!

Maria Frankland has deftly crafted her latest I LET HER IN, which is a well-paced, gripping and spine-chilling psychological thriller!

Cassie is excited to be moving back to Cherry Tree Lane to start fresh with her family; however her casual meeting with Amy is a cursed destiny! The moment Cassie lets her into her life, it unravels the haunted past that has many buried dark secrets, and soon Cassie finds herself ensnared in great jeopardy!

I was instanteneously drawn into the tangled web of love and hate in I LET HER IN, and was on the edge of my seat as the suspense intensified as I turned the pages, holding my breath until the end! This is a superb chilling thriller that I highly recommend to fans of mystery and suspense.

A gripping psychological thriller that explores the dangers of secrets and betrayal, with a twist-filled plot and a shocking final reveal.

Fantastic!
I was hooked from the get go - great paced thriller with different POV which added to the story.
I though i knew what was coming but was very wrong!
Such an exciting read, I love this author.
Top-Notch!

This is definitely a page turner! I was locked in from the very beginning - it's a very fast paced psychological thriller. I loved the multiple POVs. It was hard to root for the characters with their questionable morals. At about 85%, I was sure I had fully figured out the twist, but BOY WAS I WRONG. Each twist and turn took it to another exciting level and I definitely stayed up a little later than I should have because I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC!

Wow! What an exciting story this was! I love psychological thrillers and this one was really outstanding. Thank you, Net Galley for the opportunity to read this fast paced book!

This was okay. Not much in the way of twists and turns, but it was just intriguing enough to keep me reading.

Done in a better way.
Cassie, Jon and their son Teddy, along with dog Suki have recently moved to Rawdale to Jon’s old family home he’s inherited. While Cassie wants to make new friends in the area, her neighbour isn’t the friendliest towards her and instead chooses to observe the street from her windows. She feels lucky to meet Amy, who is of similar age, and quickly lets her in to every aspect of her life. But is Amy’s motive really to befriend Cassie? Let Her In is a fantastic thriller that’s best read not knowing too much about it. The information and detail surrounding certain characters really brought them to life, with some being unlikeable from the beginning. Others characters have an air of mystery surrounding them the majority of the way through, but then you find out why. Not too many characters either so makes it easy to follow exactly who is who.
This book is similar to an Emma Curtis book if you've read that book. It's a bit slow in the middle but it's done in a better way.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. I wanted to like this book because it started strong. However, the characters were just not likeable and there were no real twists in the plot. This was just ok in my opinion.

I Let Her In
by Maria Frankland
Pub Date: March 19, 2024
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
I love thrillers so I was excited to gain access to this ARC.
This was my first time reading a book from this author and it was so good! From the get go the book opens up with something happening which sucks you in and makes you think who it is? The plot was thrilling! I loved how consistent and clear it was.
This was giving 'The Housemaid by Freida McFadden vibes' and I was thinking 'you never know how coincidental specific situations can be when you are blinded sighted due to being an open book.'

As for the characters, It was hard to root for any of them because they were unlikeable. I liked Cassie and Amy’s character. It's a book that makes you feel quite a few different emotions which keeps you connected with the book.

Thank you Netgalley, Bookoture and Maria Frankland.

Here is my confession…

I tried really hard to like this book. Really hard. My issue, wasn’t with the plot, it was solid enough, my issue was with the twits, or should I say lack there of, and the horrible characters. Now, I don’t have to like every character, and as I’ve stated before, not liking them can be pleasurable, but here, they were just lousy, rotten, individuals. Jon, is a horrible man, narcissistic, controlling, and just despicable. In addition, he is rather hateful, and spiteful, without any depth. Cassie, is simply, a pussy with no backbone. She is weak, pleasing, controlled, and makes so many excuses for him, it was sickening.

The story is about moving to Jon’s family home, where she makes fast friends with the neighbor, and of course that lends itself to trouble…
When Cassie befriends Amy, we are immediately introduced to trouble. So of course, we start to disbelieve and mistrust her. Is Amy a stalker? And then we have Becca, the neighbor, who is depressed, unpleasant, and rude, and in my opinion pointless until perhaps the end of the book? The only character I liked, was the dog, Suki, a very protective and loyal German Shepard.

There was potential here, if more time was spent on building suspense, having actual twists, and not focusing on deplorable characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this advanced eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I loved this book! It was just as great as I had been hoping for. The storyline was gripping from the beginning, and kept me gripped until the very end. It had a lot of twists and turns, and definitely was a great read. I would highly recommend!

From the first few chapters once again I was hooked. The night I started to read this book I told myself I was only going to read a chapter or 2 and go to bed, well that didn't happen because I had to know what was going to happen.. I love it when I read books that I cannot put down ,that has me so captivated that I have to know what's going to happen next.. This is an incredible read and incredible author and to think I almost passed this book up that would have been a huge mistake.. 100% worth the read.
