I really enjoyed this twisty thriller! Something so simple about falling in love with the wrong man yet terrifyingly real. How many people do you really know?

4.5 stars that I have rounded up because when I wasnt reading I was wondering what would happen next.

Don't Let Him in a tense jaw dropping read with nasty characters that you love to snarl at and those you love to cheer on.

The story is told from multiple POV's and Lisa Jewell has mastered this very well.

There are many victims in this book : all women who are vulnerable and the main antagonist knows just how to play them.

Luckily we have one suspicious daughter who thinks something is just not right about her Mum's new Prince Charming.

Twists and turns you wont see coming and an ending that is perfect.

I have said too much already so I will leave the rest up to the reader.

CLear your schedule and be ready for this roller coaster of a ride.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the privilege of reading and reviewing Don't Let Him In.

So good! Another well done book by Lisa Jewell. A lot of timelines and POVs, and they could be a bit confusing.

This book was quite different than other Lisa Jewell books. It hopped around and I had a hard time keeping track of what was happening as well as character names.

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A group of amazing women get taken in by the same conman. Diabolical.

Another well written book by Lisa Jewell! This book is a hard one to put down.
The book starts off by jumping right into drama. A death leaves a mother and daughter heartbroken . Along comes prince charming. The book follows a few women and their relationships. Is everything as it seems? I did not expect that ending at all.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to review. This is the story of a con man who seems to find the most unintelligent, gullible women in the UK and continues to pull the same scam over and over again. Their stories became repetitive until I lost interest. I stuck around until the end in the hopes that there was karma. I had to suspend disbelief for the final reveal.

I love Lisa Jewell. None of This is True is probably my favorite of hers, and it was a 5-star read for me, so I was really looking forward to this one. I appreciate the ARC from Netgalley...but this one just didn't land for me.

The beginning hooked me...but then, it was just the same sad story over different timelines and from different perspectives, but really all the same. It was very predictable, a "setting up franchises" type of story. It's funny, because there was a note to the reader at the beginning which told us that in this book we'd think we knew the characters, but we'd be wrong. Nope. I was right. All the way through. Never surprised, not even when I think I was supposed to be.

For me, it was groundhog-day-esque. I would have been glad if it ended way before it did, and normally I just want more more more!

This book was great. Three women connected in a crazy thriller. Lots of twists, I keep it at 4 stars since I found it predictable which I don't like but very good book nonetheless.

Ash’s father, Paddy, died under suspicious circumstances. Soon after, her mother connects with a former associate of her father’s, a handsome older man named Nick. Nick makes Ash uncomfortable- it seems that he becomes very involved in their lives so quickly. She also doesn’t believe anything he says about his life, including why he disappears so often and for so long. She decides to investigate and finds that Nick is not who he seems to be and she was right to be concerned. At the same time, Martha thinks she's married to the perfect guy - handsome, loving, a good father - but he keeps leaving her alone for long stretches at a time. She starts to believe that Al is cheating on her and keeping secrets. Could these two women's situations be linked? It didn't have as many twists as None of This is True, but the story had me hooked.

This book kept me intrigued the entire time I was reading it. While there were some threads I could connect early on, there were enough moving pieces to keep me guessing.

I enjoyed the jump between pov and the multiple timelines. The large range of characters was a challenge to follow. This is a thriller version of an are we dating the same guy reddit.

Lisa Jewell delivers another spine chilling twisted tale that had me racing through each chapter. In Don’t Let Him In, Jewell does was she does best - weaves a thrilling narrative of lies, twisted intentions, vulnerability and multiple point of views that culminates in a gut punch ending that left me stunned.

The scariest thing about this novel is how real it felt. Every twist and turn had my pulse racing because I could imagine this happening to someone in my life. Often the most terrifying monsters are the ones that hide in plain sight. Jewell’s latest antagonist had my skin crawling with every chapter from his point of view. The development and depth of each character in this book made it so easy to fall into the story and care about the fate of these characters like you would real people you know.

If possible go into reading this book with little to no plot knowledge - you’ll want to be confused, intrigued and worried alongside the characters learning each twist with them. It’s no surprise that Lisa Jewell’s latest tale is a complete success, and it rose to a level I didn’t expect.

Lisa Jewell is the queen of psychological thrillers! This book is one I couldn’t put down. There are so many intertwined stories, timelines, and cons that I’m not sure how the antagonist keeps his own story straight. I enjoyed the ride and was satisfied with the resolution.

Thank you to Lisa Jewell, Berkley Atria Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book!

📖 Book Review 📖 The death of Paddy Swann leaves his family mourning and connects a web of deceit and mystery that will leave everyone guessing. Lisa Jewell strings the reader along on a slow unraveling of the truth behind the secrets that bind together a group of unsuspecting women. Dark and deliciously twisted until the very last sentence, Don’t Let Him In does not disappoint one bit!

Well this was not my favorite of Lisa Jewell's books, but oh well. I still enjoyed her writing style and her way of tying up everything with a bow by the end. I just didn't love the story itself. The compulsive liar just got frustrating to read.

4.5 stars

This book was wild! In the best way!

I got so invested in the justice that needed to be served in this book. Up until the very end, I was clueless as to how Lisa Jewell was going to wrap it up. It was perfect!

The changes in perspective and time-line in this book was very well done. I normally don't particularly enjoy when books are told in non chronological order, but the author pulled it off very well. It shows how much she's grown in her craft over the course of so many novels.

My only real complaint - and it's so minor - is that I wish there were a couple extra scenes going into the pasts of a couple characters. I understand why it probably wasn't added for the sake of pacing, so I wouldn't even call it a serious critique.

I had a gucci time reading this. It played out like a TV show in my head and kept me invested until the very end.

Great job, Lisa!

Thank you to Netgalley for the review copy. Lisa Jewel’s latest book revolves around a man who is not who he claims to be. I found the book very slow moving and just didn’t make me want to keep reading. This is unusual for me with a Lisa Jewel novel, as she is one of my top authors. The novel is good, just not GOOD.

This was such a fun read! Twists, turns, and plot twists that weren't totally predictable. I will be recommending this to students who love suspense/thriller reads, as well as to my book club group!

Lisa Jewell delivers another gripping mystery/thriller with Don't Let Him In. From start to finish, the story is packed with suspense, keeping the reader on edge as secrets unravel. Jewell masterfully weaves multiple perspectives, creating a layered and immersive narrative that slowly pieces together a chilling truth.

The pacing is excellent, with just the right balance of tension and character development. The characters feel real and flawed, making their decisions and emotions all the more compelling. Jewell’s signature atmospheric storytelling keeps the suspense high, making it impossible to put the book down.

Overall, Don't Let Him In is a fantastic psychological thriller that delivers on mystery, intrigue, and emotional depth. Highly recommend to fans of twisty, immersive reads!
