Estuvo entretenido. No podía creer el último capítulo y la razón por la que esa persona hizo lo que hizo. Tuvo años para reflexionar y, aun así, seguía esperando.




Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was SO GOOD! I devoured it in one night. I don't want to give anything away. Read it and enjoy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria for this ARC.

I personally enjoyed this book, it was a fun read but I’m not obsessed with it. It didn’t hit like None of This Is True. Still, I would recommend this. The plot line is intriguing but it was just a lot to process. Maybe I wasn’t in the right state of mind to read it.

This one has so many characters to try and keep track of and the back and forth with past and present time lines that it took awhile to get into the story. I found it very confusing and almost stopped reading. Once the ball starts rolling it is surprising to see what a web of lies one person can do and how much damage they can cause.

Ash has lost her father. Now, her mom is dating Nick and she just doesn't trust him. She starts to dig into his past.

She weaves an intriguing tale which keeps you wondering how it is all going to end. The ending left me with questions ?

I spent the majority of this book so confused and wondering what was going on, and I loved every minute of it. What a great way to start off my reading year. I love a Lisa Jewell book and can always count on hours of fabulous entertainment and I definitely got all of that and more from this one.

It ticked off all of the boxes that make a great psychological suspense for me. Some crazy bad person - check. A great heroine or two - check. One wicked twist - absolutely check! Chaos and mess that makes me want to pull my hair out and chuck the book across the room - check but I don’t recommend actually throwing your Kindle, probably not a good idea.

I highly recommend this book to lovers of all of those things. This was a great read and I enjoyed every moment.

Thanks to Netgalley for a chance to read and review this arc

Always delivering a thrilling ride, Lisa Jewell has done it again. This kept me on the edge of my seat. I love a book where you cant quite figure out the ending and are always getting deeper and deeper into the tangled web of shock and suspense.

Without a doubt this will be a must read for suspense bookies and those new to the suspense genre.

🩵𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚊𝚢...Lisa Jewell is one of my favorite authors! 🥇I mean I am obsessed with how she can write a thriller. 🎤This book just happens to be publishing on my birthday 🎉 this year & one of the main characters is named Ash 🙋‍♀️so what a gift, right?!? 🎁 Even better that I got to read early so thank you @atriabooks @lisajewelluk

✿What is always flawless in a Jewell thriller is how she can deliver such a bang🔥so seamlessly👌…This one man(think Dirty John vibes) who is involved in these women’s lives is such a shit, but what’s even scarier is he is so real! 😳This thriller is the most believable one yet. I love how the pages almost flip themselves. 🤓🤓Oh & this book does feel a bit different than her others so maybe just go in knowing that & you will love it too! 🩵🤩

This book really took me by surprise. It felt so different from some of the other books I have read by the author. While some things still clearly felt the same and the writing style was what I expected… this book almost felt more like a drama/mystery than a thriller. That’s not to say that I did not enjoy it. It was very easy to read and kept me engaged the whole time. I had a good time! It was definitely different than I expected it to be though.

3.75 stars!

I want to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this story!

This book time jumps and bounces from different people’s pov’s. One thing I would suggest at the beginning of the chapter if there’s a time jump it’s noted but I feel like it should also say who’s pov the chapter is about because there are a lot and it got confusing at points.

Nick is reaching out to an old friend’s family after he passed to reminisce and send his condolences. He gets close to Paddy’s widow Nina and develops a relationship to the point where they start dating. But Nina’s daughter feels things are very suspicious and starts investigating who Nick really is. Al is Martha’s husband, she’s a thriving florist but Al is always going away on business and can’t be reached while she’s juggling her business and children. Martha, Nina and many others find themselves being taken advantage of, money stolen, stalked, some have even lost their lives over this man who weaves so many lies and identities.

I was really excited for this one but unfortunately it just missed the mark. I thought it would be a bit more of a psychological thriller and while it wasn’t, the suspense and story definitely hit.

One thing I couldn’t get past was the alternating POVs. I just found it to be a bit too much. I liked the story but around 50% of the way I found it harder to figure out what was happening when and with who. The short chapters were great and J loved the writing style, I just wish there had been one less POV.

Thank you Netgalley and Atria for this ARC!

Lisa Jewell’s Don’t Let Him In is a masterclass in psychological suspense. Twisty, thrilling, and oddly touching, it delivers relentless tension while crafting a villain so wicked yet strangely sympathetic. The vindication is satisfying, the emotions unexpected. Jewell once again proves her genius at blurring the lines between horror and humanity.

3 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outlier alert!!

I don’t really like being on outlier island, but here I am. After reading and loving None of This is True, maybe my expectations were too high - I mean it’s Lisa Jewell after all - but this was just ok for me.

If you are expecting a psychological thriller, this is not it. However, I did like the suspense and I LOVE to hate despicable, revolting characters! The short chapters are always a plus for me and I liked the ending.

The main thing I didn’t like about this book - the alternating POVs - something I usually love. It was confusing at first, but once I was able to keep up with them I was bored. I grew tired of waiting for something to be revealed. I guess it was too much of a slow build up for me.

There are tons of glowing reviews for this one, so maybe it just was wasn’t the right book for me at that time.

I do enjoy Lisa Jewell’s books and I’m looking forward to the next one!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for my advanced copy to read and review.

This one took a bit for me to get into but once I was in, I was hooked!! Suspenseful and loved the domestic elements of the plot line. Fans of this author will enjoy!

Lisa Jewell is a spectacular author and this new book did not disappoint. I love all the different perspectives and characters and how they all weave together. Nick is an absolute snake in the grass, opportunistic character. This book will not disappoint!!

In the oversaturated thriller genre, Lisa Jewell always finds a way to stand out and deliver a consistently engaging well written read.

The story felt a little predictable, but was ultimately told an engaging story and wrapped up with a satisfying ending. You find yourself rooting for the main characters, and the women she writes are complicated and multifaceted . I'll never say no to a Lisa Jewell book!

Thanks for the ARC NetGalley!

Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell
The book immediately caught my attention. I was a little confused because there were several story lines introduced at once. The story also does time line jumps. Although I was originally confused, I really thought that the way the book was written was interesting. It kept my attention and each chapter left me wanting to know more. I liked the character Ash and had sympathy for her. I also really liked Jane and thought she was a fun character. 4 stars for me!!!

I was almost so mad at the ending of this book and then it ended alright! I have to repeatedly remind myself that it’s fiction because I was so upset. There was a lot of characters but it felt like it got all wrapped up in the end.

Thank you to #NetGalley and Atria Books for the advanced copy of this book. This publishes June 24th.

What to expect in this book:

-Domestic mystery
-England setting
-Dual POV
-Various timelines
-Untrustworthy characters
-Amateur sleuths

Thoughts

This is my third Lisa Jewell thriller and this one felt the least 'thrilling' to me. While I did not LOVE it as much as None of This is True, it was a nice change of pace from some other books that I have been reading recently and I enjoyed reading it. The story begins with the tragic death of restauranteur Paddy Swann at the hands of a mad man. After the death of her father, Ash is devastated and trying to pick up the pieces of the life that she once had. An unexpected gift from a friend of her father's sends a new man into Ash's mother, Nina's life, and therefore Ash now has to adjust to Nick being a fixture in her mother's life and very quickly, in their home. Ash has a feeling that she cannot trust Nick and not just because she is still grieving her father's death.

I felt like this story was easy to figure out from early on. There are several POV and without chapter titles by narrator, it makes it a little confusing to understand the characters' back stories at first, but once I understood who the characters were, I found it all a little contrived. I am a harsh critic of thrillers especially and while I love a good mystery, I felt like there were no true twists in this that did not have foreshadowing that led right to them. While it was predictable, it was an entertaining read and I cannot say that I did not enjoy it. I loved the coastal english towns and the variety of characters. I especially loved the chapters from Nick's POV and better understanding his character.

Ultimately there were just so many parts of this that felt like I could see the writing on the wall. While that does not bother me too much, I just expected a little more, especially from a book with such a sinister title. I look forward to reading more of Lisa Jewell's backlist. If you have read her others, what do you suggest next?

Lisa hits it out of the park with this one!!!! Probably one of my top favorite books from her. Highly recommend!!!!

Well well well. Another solid Lisa Jewell book. This story gripped me immediately. A perfect combination of a slow burn thriller all the while keeping the reader intrigued. This book made me absolutely question all men, including my husband. Joking. But dang, this MMC was a real piece of work. I loved how this all tied together at the end.
