Liv Constantine always delivers a solid psychological thriller and this was no exception! I read this in one day because I had to know what happened. While I’m not 100% sold on the “conclusion” of one aspect of the plot** (scroll down if you want to see a spoiler) throughout the book, the rest was super satisfying and twisty and great.

*her dreams.

Constantine weaves a masterful web of deceit, betrayal, and lies. There's a lot of moving parts to the story which comes together nicely at the end and all makes sense. The complexity of the plot makes it impossible to guess the twists and turns that are coming. Another unputdownable thriller!

Another thriller by Liv Constantine that was impossible to put down! Don't Open Your Eyes follows Annabelle, a married mom of two, as she tries to unravel the meaning behind a sudden onset of bad dreams that keep coming true. This novel had plenty of plot twists that kept me guessing along the way. Loved this book!

I LOVED this book and I’m so happy that I was able to read it early. I had such a great time reading it and I love the way that she put all of the pieces together at the end to wrap it up.

This book was a fast-paced, enjoyable read. There are a few different POVs that give the reader a good insight but also keep you guessing. I flew through this one (no pun intended, I did read it on a flight).

Nothing ground breaking but definitely worth the read!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc!

I am. a huge fan of this author. I have read every book written by them. This was another great book. So different from all the other psychological thrillers I've read lately. I feel like the other often use the same plot line but this was new! I like how it flipped between past and present. I also liked how one of the characters had chapters titled "Wife" but you didn't know who it was until near the end of the story. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. I had to keep reading to find out what happened!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I flew through this book and it kept my interest the whole time. I really liked it alot, but my one "complaint" is that the ending started to go off the rails a bit for me. I recommend reading the book though, you'll read it very fast!

This is fantastic! I love me a twisty thriller, so this is right up my alley.

Annabelle is the wife of a wealthy neurosurgeon, has two beautiful daughters, a great job, and a lovely home, but when she starts having strange nightmares, her life starts spiraling out of control. As it turns out, these nightmares are a harbinger of what’s to come.

The writing is superb, the plot is implausible but fun, and the ending is crazy - a trifecta of perfection. Thank you, NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for the eARC.

This was a true thriller in typical Liv Constantine fashion. The twists and turns just kept coming. I always enjoy her/their books and this one was no different. Enjoyable read that kept me guessing.

Don’t open your eyes is a slow burn thriller that combines 2 timelines and multiple POVs to keep the reader turning pages. Although this could have potential to be confusing, Liv Constantine makes it work. The story is told through the eyes of Annabelle, her daughter Scarlett, and “the wife,” an unknown person.

Annabelle is a wife and mother that has started having bad dreams. Or are they premonitions? Scarlett is a typical teen that has a secret online friend. The wife is up to something, but who is she? Although a slow burn, there were enough events happening that the story kept my interest. Some events were outside the realm of possibility, so as a reader, you have to suspend belief just a little. I would have liked a little more emotional depth to the characters, so I connected with them a little more rather than just reading their story. Overall, I enjoyed the story. I would rate it a 3.5 and round up.

3.5 stars rounded up

I really enjoy this author - she writes thrillers that have a lot going on between all the twists but somehow manages to make it not feel like *too* much. While not my favorite of hers, a very enjoyable read that I absolutely flew through.

Liv Constantine is one of my very favorite authors. I was so excited when I received the approval to read this book. I was definitely not disappointed. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. So many twists and turns. Highly recommend.

Don't Open Your Eyes is a well crafted psychological thriller that grips you from the very first page. Liv Constantine expertly weaves suspense, paranoia, and the terrifying power of premonition into a nail-biting story that keeps you second-guessing every twist. Annabelle’s descent into fear and uncertainty is utterly compelling, making the tension almost unbearable as her dreams begin bleeding into reality. The pacing is relentless, the stakes are high, and the final twists are jaw-dropping!

Annabelle appears to have it all—a loving husband, two wonderful daughters, and a fulfilling career. However, her world begins to unravel when she is plagued by vivid dreams depicting a future where her family is in peril and her relationships are fractured. Initially dismissing these as mere nightmares, Annabelle becomes alarmed as elements from her dreams start manifesting in reality.

I have loved every book I've read by Liv Constantine, but this one was a little tough to get through. I really didn't get Annabelle and her husband's relationship. It's difficult to explain without spoilers but she seemed to be tougher and take less sh** when she was younger. The past/present story line was fine and not at all confusing but I think the past could've had less extraneous details and moved the story along a bit quicker.

Overall, it is a decent popcorn thriller. It’s entertaining enough for a quick weekend read, but it doesn’t break new ground. If you’re looking for a thriller with unexpected twists and complex characters, you may find this one a bit underwhelming.

Annabelle is having weird dreams that sometimes come true and sometimes do not. Chapters rotate between characters and go into the past and into her dreams. Readers need to stay alert! If they do, they will be treated to a wonderfully intricate, beautifully written, and excitingly plotted psychological mystery. Excellent! Thanks to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group, Ballantine, and Bantam for providing an ARC.

"Don't Close Your Eyes" by Liv Constantine is a gripping psychological thriller that keeps you hooked with its multiple layers of mystery. Instead of just one central unknown, the book unravels several intriguing questions, which kept me engaged and eager to see how everything would come together.

However, one aspect that didn’t quite work for me was the handling of Anabelle’s dreams. Throughout the novel, they consistently seemed to foreshadow future events, but the dream that ultimately solved the mystery took a more retrospective turn. This shift felt out of sync with what we’d been led to believe about her visions, making the resolution feel slightly off-balance.

That said, the book was still an entertaining, twisty read that I’d recommend to fans of psychological thrillers!

Another Liv Constantine book that was so fun, so well done, riveting and one that I HAD to finish before resuming real life.
The dream element was truly such a trip in the best way. I absolutely LOVED the twist at the end.

Highly recommend! If you like Constantine’s prior books, you will love this too!

A thriller that keeps you guessing up until the very end! I love this author and every book is always full of twists and turns! I highly recommend this book for the readers that love suspenseful books!

Liv Constantine is one of my favorite authors. In fact, the name is a pen name for sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine. I was thrilled to receive early access to their upcoming book, Don't Open Your Eyes, which is set to be released on June 17, 2025. I love how their books always keep me guessing! Just when you think you have it all figured out—boom, another twist! This one definitely delivered! I highly recommend it!

#DontOpenYourEyes #NetGalley

DONT OPEN YOUR EYES was a quick domestic thriller with multiple POVs. I found the dream aspect to be a bit off and unbeatable and the twists weren’t terribly shocking, imo.

If you’re looking for a Liv Constantine book I’d recommend either THE LAST MRS PARRISH or THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR.

Thank you Netgalley and Bantam for the arc!
