Readers need to be on their game and pay close attention because Lisa Jewell has spun such a tangled web that spins one way and then the other way in this twisted tale! Secrets, lies, manipulation, twists, and turns all come into play in this riveting, shocking, wonderfully written, and tense book!!!! LOVED THIS ONE - but no suprise... I love lisa jewel!

I've read every single Lisa Jewell book, and this one might be in my top 3! It's THAT good! This isn't a traditional "dead body" thriller, but the twists and turns had me dying to know more. The ending is surprising but still satisfying, and overall this feels really fresh for the genre. Another hit!

Oh Lana Myersssss! We are in need of your services!!!

Seriously though. The story was a very complex one. There were lots of characters and lots of timelines to keep track of. At times it was overwhelming honestly. I know that it needed to be this way because of the story line and the plot but I was definitely overwhelmed and confused at times.

There were many details that kind of went right over me and honestly it almost felt like it dragged on too much at times. The epilogue and the last chapter were pretty great and tied everything up in a nice bow but it took a while to actually get to that point.

I have to say, I LOVED how they tied in the title though! It was like this cute little secret between us and the author.

Not bad but not my favorite by her.

Lisa Jewell has become one of my go-to authors and this book did not disappoint. Full of lies, manipulation, and suspense. It’s fast-paced and gripping all the way up to the twist at the very end. I loved it!

Thank you @netgalley @atriabooks and the author for the opportunity to read this advance reader copy in exchange for my honest opinion. All opinions are my own.

Lisa Jewell is an auto-buy author for me and Don't Let Him In keeps her in that category.

While this movie starts off a little slow, it quickly gains momentum and kept you engaged through the entire rest of the novel. The thrills were thrilling throughout! Jewell kept me on the edge of my seat and while I was able to figure out some of the twists, many others were as surprising as intended. My favorite character was the antagonist .. and boy did she make us hate him. Jewell captured this specific type of con brilliantly with a murderery twist. I hope to never meet a Nick Radcliffe. I really enjoyed the FMC Ash and her character development throughout.

A likely intended, but surprising for me, aspect of this book is the representation of single women.. especially single mothers. While single mothers are 100% some of the hardest, most fierce individuals I know there is definitely a vulnerability there that I think Jewell captured brilliantly.

Another good Lisa Jewell book! Some good twists and turns, though not as shocking as some of her other publications. I enjoyed the flashbacks and digging into the different characters and how they tied together.

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. Lisa Jewell NEVER disappoints. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book, constantly trying to figure out what was going on. There was even a twist right at the end.

How much do you truly know anyone? So much of our relationships are built on trusting what people tell us is true. What happens when that trust is built on lies and manipulation instead?

Lisa Jewel’s latest thriller starts with the tragic and mysterious murder of Paddy Swan. After that, a handsome stranger, with a convenient connection to Paddy, enters his widow’s life. Right away you question is Nick really shady or is Paddy’s daughter just dealing with the grief of losing her father and seeing her mom move on with someone else?

The story unfolds in a way that’s has you wondering who is telling the truth constantly, which helps build the suspense. I feel like saying more gives too much of the plot away. I will say the story is wider than the synopsis on Goodreads would suggest. Really enjoyed the book even though it filled me with rage at points.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for this advanced copy. 4.25 ✨ Pub date 6/24/25.

Lisa Jewell never gets it wrong. I don't know how she does it over and over again, but she always sucks you into the story and makes you think you know what may happen and then before you know it you're in complete and utter shock in the best ways

I found this book to be suspenseful and it kept me guessing. I was fully immersed in the storytelling and appreciated how little clues were dropped throughout the story. I think this book would be wonderful as an audiobook and I will purchase it as one when it is released.

Lisa Jewell’s latest novel, Don’t Let Him In, proves yet again why she’s one of the top authors in the psychological thriller genre. The novel follows multiple POVs and timelines, which at start were confusing to follow. Overall, I throughly enjoyed this novel and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The novel deals with manipulation, lies, and infidelity which may be a trigger for some.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the
ARC of “Don’t Let Him In” by Lisa Jewell.

A new thriller written by Lisa Jewell. Thank you net galley for the advance arc! 5 stars !

Without giving away too much, this book has a villain/ detached from reality man as a main character who thinks he has complete control. But never underestimate the power of women when they bind together to take him down.

FANTASTIC READ!! Lisa Jewell did it again! She kept me on my toes. This was a page turner! I had no idea where this was going to go, or how it was going to end! Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of turns but came together. My favorite part was that the last page or two had a completely separate twist I did not see coming. I love a lot of Lisa jewell books and would recommend them to anyone who likes a thriller, mystery, and good story.

4 stars ⭐️ Firstly, I love Lisa Jewell so I already expected to love this book and I did! It sometimes takes me a while to get fully immersed in a thriller but I was hooked pretty early on in this one! The surprises / plot twists were GOOD! This is a must read.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The best thriller I've read in a long time (and I read a LOT of thrillers). An amazing cast of characters, constant surprises, and an intrepid heroine made this unputdownable. Absolutely loved it.

Lisa Jewell never disappoints. This is yet another that, should time allow, one is reluctant to put it down; it deserves to be devoured in one sitting! I enjoyed the narrative voices of each individual storyline, and although this particular literary device seems to be somewhat overdone lately, Jewell's talent still makes it enjoyable. I look forward to her next novel with great anticipation!

It's a solid read! This one didn't have many unexpected turns and twists but did a great job of building anticipation and keeping me intrigued. Because of that, it was a fast read, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. My only critique is that there were often very long, winding paragraphs (arguably due to the antagonist's way of thinking and speaking) that I started to skim by the end.

In true Lisa Jewell fashion, this book was intriguing, had you wondering what was gonna happen next, and putting all the puzzle pieces together- watching the story play out from past and present, it keeps you interested in how and why everything was happening or how certain people fit into the bigger story. There are some twists and I was proud I guessed at least one of them🥳 The other one I wasn't really expecting, a shock for sure🤯 I definitely enjoyed reading my ARC from NetGalley and can't wait for the book to release!
