Book: Don’t Open Your Eyes

Meh. This was just a mediocre read for me. There is really nothing exciting or groundbreaking about this storyline and the characters are frustrating. At the end I was just reading to finish it. I find with this author I have more misses than hits but I did love The Last Mrs. Parrish. One thing to note is that Liv Constantine is a pen name for sisters Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine. I really feel like at times you can tell two people are writing because things don’t flow like you think they should.

Thank you Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine, Bantam and NetGalley for this sneak peak! Publication date is June 17, 2025.

4.5 stars! ⭐️ This was a page-turner! It starts off a little confusing with multiple POVs and timelines but once you connect the pieces, it’s all worth it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group Ballantine for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Don't Open Your Eyes was absolutely fantastic! The author wrote a story that was so well written I found myself flying through the pages, unable to put the book down, pondering what would happen next. My favorite piece of this entire story was how believable the characters were.

The writing is clear and clean, and very immersive. The book hums along at a good clip, but the pacing makes sure we're given time to breathe between plot-intensifying moments. The story was absolutely engaging and the work that went into the settings was noticeable and superb. I felt absolutely transported and I'm so incredibly glad I was able to read an arc of this story.

I love Liv Constantine. She can write a mystery/suspense book like no other! She’s been a long time favorite of mine and her latest is another winner. I was pulled in right from the start with the really engaging premise of the book. The characters and the story itself were well crafted and interesting. The pacing of the book worked for me. I found the ending to be very satisfying and unpredictable.

Many thanks to NetGalley and to the publisher for the advanced reading copy.

Thank you to Netgalley for this review copy! I really enjoy this authors work, so I definitely jumped on the opportunity to read this ARC. Overall, it was a solid domestic thriller. It took some twists and turns that I was not expecting, so I enjoyed that aspect. The dreams or premonitions that our main character experienced added an intriguing layer to the story as I enjoy an unreliable narrator. The first 30% or so was slow, but it still kept me engaged with the story. There were also several grammatical/spelling errors in this ARC copy. I had a feeling earlier on about who the 'real' bad guy was going to be, but overall, I enjoyed this thriller.

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. You know that feeling when you’re enjoying a book so much that you don’t want it to end, so you put it down so it doesn’t end but then can’t resist to pick up up again? That was me with this book! Liv Constantine has done it again—wow! The twists and surprises kept me on my toes, and all the characters were fantastic. I especially appreciated how she took the time to develop each one. I’m already looking forward to its release and can't wait to listen to the audiobook. Highly recommend!

Liv Constantine is a favorite author of mine and this book did not disappoint. When the dreams that haunt Annabelle begin to come true, I was quickly hooked. With a loving husband that dismisses these dreams and recommends she schedule an appointment with her therapist, Annabelle is left feeling defeated and alone. Will she be able to save her family before any additional dreams become her reality?

Suspended between her dream sequences and the life she is living, Annabelle does what she can to keep those that she loves safe, but as the dreams continue so does the possibility of injury to someone very dear to her, her daughter, Scarlett. Wrapped up in her own teenage life, Scarlett seeks space and independence, but things aren't always what they seem. Her decision to take a risk could change everything.

This book was engaging from start to finish. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

I finished “Don’t Open Your Eyes” by Liv Constantine earlier today, and I loved it!! This is the same author who wrote “The Last Mrs. Parrish” which I absolutely loved as well! Ms. Constantine has definitely become an auto buy author for me!

You never know where the story is going when you read one of her books, and they definitely keep you entranced! This story is told through multiple Points of Views and multiple timelines, but don’t let that scare you….it was not confusing at all.

Ms. Constantine’s thrillers are always so good and juicy! You can never go wrong with one of her novels.

Great, great thriller! This was an Advanced Reader Copy that is due to be published on June 17th. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary copy in exchange for my review. This book earned a solid 4 stars from me!! Read it!

This book was so insane and so good!! I absolutely loved it and couldn't figure it out until almost the very end. There were so many nuances and questions and some incredibly developed characters and its going to go down as one of my favorites this year.

Thank you Random House Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC for my honest review.
I would put Don't Open Your Eyes in the middle of Liv Constantine's books. I devoured the pulpy The Last Mrs. Parrish and twisty The Stranger in the Mirror.

The twists and turns in this book were pretty good, if packed up a little too neatly in the end. I think the narrative device of having the main character have premonitions was pretty sloppy and the book would have been fine without it.

I was hooked from the start and then it started getting chaotic and I had to sit on my review for a day.

I love Liv Constantine books, so I was excited to read this book because the premise sounded entertaining and it could have been but the ending felt rushed and just thrown together to try to make sense of the situation.

Annabelle is married to a neurologist named James and she has two beautiful daughters. She has a great job and she’s happier than ever. Out of no where she keeps having disturbing dreams that keep
Coming true, so Annabelle tries to prevent them from happening but her family doesn’t believe her.

She’s starting to spiral out of control but she’s trying to save her family from getting hurt.

Thanks Netgalley and publisher for a chance to read this book for free for my honest opinion before it’s published on 6/17/25

Liv Constantine delivers in this domestic thriller. Annabelle begins suffering from strange and terrible nightmares. They have aspects of her life that she cannot imagine happening... except some of them do. She must figure out what her dreams mean and fast in order to protect her family. This novel was hard to put down. I enjoyed the mystery and alternating time frames. I thought I had it all figured out, but I was wrong. I love that in a book! I would recommend this to anyone who likes domestic thrillers.

Not gonna lie, I'm still puzzled by the title of the novel even after reading it.

This was a quick domestic thriller with an interesting premise. I love when stories weave in dreams, but in this case, the writing didn't quite unleash the chilling intensity of the nightmarish visions Annabelle experienced. These characters felt generic and insufficiently developed; this made it hard to connect with them even at the story's emotional height. I still found myself wanting to keep reading it after putting it down, so I consider that an entertaining read.

I really enjoyed this book! It had me hooked from the start. I really liked the premise of her dreams coming true because that’s something I’ve always enjoyed. It did seem a little far fetched in some areas but I really enjoyed the ending!

Good book! Keep me wanting to keep reading! My second by this author and i will read more !! Highly recommend this author !!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝:
⇥ Despite not typically enjoying “dream-related” thrillers, this one managed to hook me early on. The premise and opening chapters were intriguing and drew me in right away.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐝:
⇥ The dual timelines didn’t work for me. The past chapters felt like filler and ultimately added nothing to the story—plus, they left a major plot hole unresolved.
⇥ I don’t know why it bugged me, but the authors used three versions of “you’re going to pay for this” and it just felt soooo elementary school writing. The FMC was written so unlikeable and annoying, just very amateur and unrealistic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠:
★★★.5
This wasn’t groundbreaking in any way, shape, or form. I didn’t love any of the characters—especially the FMC—and I found the multiple plot threads (the dream-related plot, the past timeline, an unknown POV, and the present-day drama) didn’t mesh well. There just weren’t enough thrills to make up for the sluggish middle chapters.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That said, I might be in the minority here, and maybe this one will work better for you. I absolutely loved The Senator’s Wife, so I’d recommend picking that up instead. But as always, if this book is on your radar, give it a shot and see for yourself!

Thank you @netgalley and @randomhouse for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a great book! I think it was so good at making you question reality (or the reality of the main character). It was eerie, and had the perfect vibes of a psychological thriller. I think it was very well written, and it definitely kept me on my toes!!!!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

If dreams come true….
From the outside, Annabelle seems to have it all. A loving husband, 2 amazing daughters and a career she loves. So why is she having constant, nightmarish dreams?

Let’s talk for a minute about those nightmares. Here’s the thing... they may actually be short snippets of her future. As she continues having them...they come true. And these dreams aren’t happy, joyful moments. They are frightening glimpses into her future and Annabelle isn’t sure she can stop them from coming true.

Meanwhile, with Annabelle’s focus wavering for just a moment, her daughter Scarlett has met someone on- line. Uh-oh. Is this an innocent friendship? (Are they ever)?

Told from multiple points of view and timelines, all adding to the building tension. Will Annabelle be able to take control of her future? Can you change your fate?

I devoured this book in just a couple sittings. Filled with plenty of characters sure to infuriate you - some more than others!😅

This was another fabulous, gripping thriller from an amazing sister duo, penned under the name Liv Constantine. Already looking forward to their next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine

Liv Constantine is the QUEEN of domestic thrillers and I will always be first in line to read them whenever she drops a new one!!

In “Don’t Open Your Eyes” we follow Annabelle as she tries to unravel the meaning behind her recent onset of extremely vivid nightmares that seem to be more of a premonition of what’s to come. The twists and turns in this books are so shocking and unpredictable that it kept me wanting more, I absolutely devoured this book.
