This was a twisty and fun read. I loved all parts of the story/all of the main characters. And it all tied together nicely. I would definitely read more books by Lisa Jewell.

Lisa Jewell is such an amazing writer. Don’t Let Him In was a great read. So many twists and turns and connections, very suspenseful!

5⭐️ Lisa Jewell has written a page turning edge of your seat thriller with this one! I couldn’t put it down!
At first it seems the chapters are a little disjointed, but it all starts to come together perfectly! The story unfolds as Paddy, the father of Ash Swann is laid to rest after being murdered. Enter handsome Nick, long lost friend of Paddy, charming, caring, attentive. Soon Paddy’s widow Nina is smitten, but Ash senses something not quite right.
It’s soon revealed Nick holds many dark secrets! I wanted him to get found out so bad. Without spoiling anything, he is such a psycho! The writing and twists are perfect!
I loved the ending and would love a sequel!
Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for the eARC in exchange for my honest review

This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! Highly recommend! As the storyline intertwine, I couldn't believe what I had just read. I will never look at anyone the same.

I enjoyed reading this book, the story was compelling, especially since I have read a non fiction book of this happening to woman and seen a Dateline episode, that I think is referenced in the book, about women in America all being conned by 1 man.
Nina is recently widowed and her daughter Ash is living with her when a man seemingly comes from out of nowhere into their lives. Suspicion propels Ash to dig into this new mystery man and unravel his deceptions. How many people will be affected by this one con man? Read this book and find out!

Lisa is an auto read author for me. She has a way of writing such a twisty story that just flies by and this one was no exception. I flew through this one. I love a dual POV her shorter chapters, It makes the story much more digestible.

This will be in my top 5 for the year! At first it was hard to get into. Lots of characters and timelines but whew .. this one was quite the ride. It’s worth paying attention to the characters and timelines. The intensity of this book just kept building. I had to know what happened. This book was tense. I was on the edge of my seat and at many times angry at the main character. It’s hard to write a review because there are so many storylines to go with BUT let’s just say there is more to the story than meets the eye and some people need to come with a warning label. 5 stars!

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!
