Another EXCELLENT thriller written by Lisa Jewell. She masterfully created these characters and I believe set the beginning of this book to be intentionally confusing and to really make you unravel Nicks Motivations. With the timeline not always being clear I really had to try to make sense of what was happening and put the pieces together but once the timelines collide it really starts taking off and the second half of the book was expertly woven together with a very good conclusion. I don’t want to give anything away by saying too much! but I really enjoyed this book and spent a whole day reading to find out the ending! Thank you so much for an advance reader copy for my honest review.

Jewell’s newest story is full of twists and turns way she plays with time is so trickstery. The whole time it was like sitting with your friends talking about the most the most insane dating story you heard and getting to find out it was way worse and more fun than you could have ever imagined.

Thanks to NetGalley for my gifted copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Don’t Let Him In is a fun and twisty mystery that kept me guessing for a while before I finally knew how it was going to end.
The story centers around three women who are somehow all connected. There are many twists and turns but the reader can slowly piece the clues together and see the larger picture. It was a fun read. Solid 4 stars!

Recommend this book to those who love psychological thrillers. Have enjoyed reading several thrillers by Lisa Jewell. Was fun solving the mystery by unravelling how each of many characters are interconnected. Especially liked reading chapters switching main character POV from chapter to chapter. Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for a review copy of the ebook.

Torn between 3 stars and 4 stars, so I’m giving this 3.5!
It was well written, had shorter chapters, and was engaging. I didn’t want to put it down because I was so in invested in how it all tied together, and how it would all play out.
However; all of the women in this book live so close together that I couldn’t wrap my head around how “he” took so long to have his lies unravel and her caught. I tried to ignore it, but the further I got into the story the more it annoyed me.

This was my first Lisa Jewell book and it didnt disappoint. I loved the flow of the book. The various different POV. Even though the plot was predictable it still left me not wanting to put this down. The final twist I didn't see coming.

A thrilling book that keeps you turning the pages until the shocking ending. Full of twists and turns and shocks. Brilliant! I highly recommend reading this book! 📖

This book was absolutely amazing! This is definitely my new favorite by Lisa !! I couldn’t put this book down. I finished it in one sitting (one day). Thank you for an amazing book with an ending that was extremely satisfying!!

Before the Epilogue, I was only going to give this book 4 stars. I can't tell you why or it would give the whole book away...
And on the heels of some great twists as this story bounces all over the place? YES. SO MUCH YES.
This book is 5-star worthy. Lisa Jewell writes epic thrillers that you can imagine being real. Or maybe they are real?
The timelines in this story feel disjointed in the beginning and you think you can piece together what is happening... and then the path diverts and you're left wondering what just happened.
The MC devolves in real time but you get a birds-eye view courtesy of flashbacks to see the whole of his evolution and it is such a wild ride.
This was a binge-worthy book that everyone who is a fan of thrillers needs to add to their TBR. Pre-order it now. Add to cart. Tell them I sent you.
Release date: 6/24/25 just in time for some epic summer reading!!

I'm not going to say much about Lisa Jewell's newest "Don't Let Him In." I love Jewell, she is one of my favorite authors and I have read a lot of her books. This was probably the most underwhelming book for me. I had high expectations after "None of this is True," which is a hard act to follow. This story follows many women and the con-man who is charming each of them, giving each woman everything she wants and then taking from them what he needs.
By the last 1/4 of the book, I was actively avoiding reading it. There was not a twisty ending that I expected. It all played out relatively as expected and did not thrill me. That said, I know many will love this book and rave about it. And I will still adore Lisa Jewell and read all her books. This was a miss for me, however fun to read for the first half or so.
2.5 stars
Thank you to the publisher, Jewell and Netgalley for the ARC.

Really fun read, well structured, took a while to figure out, and I enjoyed the mystery. I also loved the strength of the characters, especially Ash

4.5 stars - With "don't Let Him In", author Lisa Jewell has done it again & delivered another banger of a domestic thriller! I really liked this tale of a 50'ish new widow & her daughter & how their broken lives intersect with another woman, who's an abandoned housewife - let's just say they have some "things" in common LOL! Loved the short chapters that kept me flipping pages late at night, and I did not mind the alternating POV's either. The ending was good & I appreciated the epilogue. This one is very dark and quite suspenseful - I really liked it! My sincere thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for my advance readers copy - a true pleasure to read & review it!

3.5 / 5

I can't imagine the overwhelming expectations that must exist for the follow-up to a book as hugely successful as None of This is True. Not surprisingly, Don't Let Him In goes in a different direction, unfortunately it didn't quite come together or reach the same heights.

The entire book is an exercise in anticipation, it feels as though it is constantly on the edge of revealing something big but never quite comes to fruition.

As far as characters go, Jewell has successfully created one of the most vile and reprehensible male antagonists in quite some time. Perhaps that is partly why the book stumbles slightly, we await comeuppance for so long it ends up being impossible to meet those expectations.

The writing is superb and my interest was kept but ultimately it ended up being a tad ordinary.

Unimaginable thanks to Netglley and Atria Books for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion.

This is a page turning thriller, about three women and a psychopath who has infiltrated all of their lives. True to Lisa Jewell form it is twisty and psychological in nature and oh so good until the very last page. The only reason I can’t give this five stars is because I hated Nick Radcliffe so much! He’s just the worst, but bravo to Lisa for making him so hateable. 4.5 stars ⭐️ Thanks to NetGalley & Atria for an advanced copy - you’ll want to put this on your list when it’s released in June!

3.5 stars

This book follows the story of three women that find themselves bearing the arrival, and maybe departure, of a seemingly "too good to be true" man in their respective lives. As they dig deeper into his story, and his role in his life, they learn that there is more to him than meets the eye and that the men plaguing each of them might be connected.

Lisa Jewell's thriller books are always the perfect mix of mystery, suspense, and darker themes without overdoing any of the three. She creates intriguing characters that unravel the mystery, or themselves, throughout the story that often provides productive commentary on social issues and the complexities of human relationships. Don't Let Him In does this just as well as her previous titles!

Seriously don't let him in..... This book is a fast paced thriller that will keep you up all night. In Lisa Jewell's newest book, you follow three different storylines through three different lives. The book is engaging and easy to read with twists and turns around every bend. I can't wait for her next one!

Lisa Jewell has done it again! I did not want to put it down!

This is a story about three women who are all connected even though they don't know this in the beginning. As events occur they start putting the pieces together. While you don't think the story can go any further, it does! If you love thrillers, you will love this book too.

Thank you to NetGalley & Atria for an advanced copy.

Read this in one sitting. Felt so sorry for the three women in the book. Perfect for fans of the dirty john series. This book comes close to answering the question we have when reading a con story - how did she not see the red flags?

This one was not my favorite sadly. I absolutely loved None of This is True and it was my first read by this author. However, this one was just too much domestic drama that didn't have enough twists. It just didn't feel like a thriller to me at all.

DON’T LET HIM IN was an enjoyable read that was quick to capture my attention. The plot was intriguing and well written, and the different narratives and timelines did a great job bringing the pieces together. It occasionally got confusing trying to keep track of everyone but overall still very well done given the complex timeline the author was weaving together.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the opportunity to read and review DON’T LET HIM IN.
