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!

This is one of the best thriller novels I have read. It’s one of those things you can come back to again and again and pick up new details along the way.

This is a very layered story about a man who has interlaced himself into the lives of multiple women. He’s mastered the devious art of lathering them up with words like honey, all to take advantage of them.

Lisa Jewell has done it again, I’ll certainly be picking up more of her novels! This one and None of this is true are easily 5 stars.

Wow, did this book ever suck me in. The story opens with a flower delivery to a mourning family who have recently experienced the unexpected death of their husband and father, Paddy. Described as larger than life, successful restauranteur, beloved by his family, and the life of the party. We follow Ash as she accepts the flower delivery and returns to her family inside the house. We then skip forward a few months, and she is still grieving her father when her mother receives a letter from one of Paddy's old friend's expressing condolences, Nick Radcliffe. Soon her mother and this old friend have become acquainted and are starting a relationship.

Ash thinks this old friend of her father's is too good to be true. She can't place her finger on exactly what is off about him, but she knows that even though he is also a successful wine bar owner that her mother is well off recent widower that could be taken advantage of.

As we follow dual timelines the past fills in the present and you learn just who Nick Radcliffe really is.

It took me about 3 or 4 chapters to start following all of the characters and become invested- and then I couldn't put this book down. The intricate way that Jewell uses time jumps and alternate POVs to fill in what has happened was perfect. Really made me question how many people are actually appearing to be totally functional human beings walking around like this. I have too much to say that include spoilers!

Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell
Thank you @netgalley for an eARC! Releases June 24th!

I have so many mixed emotions about this one. It started off SO confusing . I was completely lost. Jewell did a great job of making you hate the antagonist deeply; however, I felt that not much happened until about half way through the book and I felt a little bored.

The last part of the book was intriguing and exciting, but overall this one would be a “it was okay” rating for me, I love a lot of other Lisa Jewell books so I’m disappointed to say that! I expected to love it much more than I did!

Lisa Jewell is definitely one of my favorite authors. This story was so engaging and I hated the many named man so much I had nightmares about him. My favorite thing about this book is how Ash got all of these women together to finally bring Simon down. Women power! Thank goodness for that Epilogue because I thought he had gotten away with it all!!

4.5 🌟 Lisa Jewell does not disappoint with her thrillers! I was hooked from the first chapter and honestly did not want to put it down. It was gripping, exciting, mysterious, and shocking. It kept me on the edge of my seat, always wanting more, and was such a delight to read!

Don't Let Him In was the perfect thriller for a romance lover like me! The story is told between the present and flashbacks of the past and the reader is given bits and pieces of a man's story that are a bit puzzling at first, but when I pieced them together I was floored! The MMC is known as Nick - oh, and he might have gone by a handful of other names as well!! This silver haired fox is a smooth talker who is extremely charming and handsome. He knows how to make women happy and to convince them to give him anything he wants. His story and how he gets himself entangled in the lives of so many sweet, very smart women is horrifying, eye opening, and just hands down fascinating.

This story was complex, dark, and full of nail biting drama! I loved the characters, the POVs, and the way the story unfolded with pieces of the past being revealed while intertwining with the present. It kept me captivated from start to finish was one of my favorite thrillers to date. I highly recommend picking up this twisty and shocking tale!

Many, many thanks to Atria Books for providing me with a digital ARC copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Solid four star thriller from one of must buy authors. I really enjoyed this one, mostly going in blind, and I wasn’t sure where exactly the story was going to take me. I enjoyed the characters and how all the different timelines came together in the end. My only issue was the ending, it was a bit unrealistic and outlandish and I’m still wrapping my mind around it. But I highly recommend! Another great thriller from Lisa Jewell

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
