Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the ARC of this highly anticipated novel.

Jewell describes this story as a kaleidoscope of intertwined characters. However, after reading it I would say the plot is like a braid, dosed in lighter fluid, attached to a bomb! Ash is healing from her father’s sudden death when a man enters their lives. Ash unravels the braid to a bomb you don’t see coming.

I loved the different fonts in this novel, I hope the publisher keeps this. It helped with understanding the storyline.

Overall, I bet this book will be a best seller! Don’t let him in!

What an intense read! This book had twists and turns around every corner! There were several characters and storylines to keep up with but the connections are made and woven together in such a satisfying way.

This might be my favorite Lisa Jewell book so far!

Thank you to Lisa Jewell, NetGalley, and Atria Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

After Nina's husband Paddy dies in a tragic accident, Nick, a man from her husband's past makes his way into Nina's life. Nina's daughter, Ash, suspects this man might not be who he says he is, starting a deep dive into Nick's past.

I think this was one of my favorite Lisa Jewel books in a long time. At first, I had some confusion trying too hard to figure out which way the book was going to go. Once I finally just went along for the ride, it was much more enjoyable. Despite different timelines and lots of different characters, everything was fairly easy to keep track of. The plot of possible fake identities and revenge was done very well. The ending was excellent and I loved how some ends were tied up that I didn't even realize needed to be. Highly recommended!

I LOVED this book! I’m not always a fan of psychological thrillers, but the ending is so well done, and structurally, to see the chaos of “his” life and hear so many women’s stories is a great way to show the depth and breadth of his deception. Nick, Al, whatever his name is preys on women as a career, and leaves no woman safe. But what is stronger than a narcissist sociopath- women, collaborating together to change the narrative. Well done! I also love the concepts of mental health, grief, love bombing, and greed are addressed.

As shared on Goodreads and StoryGraph:

Lisa Jewell never misses! This was so fast paced and tense and had me hooked from the beginning.

Thank you Atria Books via Netgalley for the ARC!

The story started.slow. I felt like there was something missing. About a third of the way into the story it picked up tremendously. The story became twisty and the last half of the book I couldn't put it down. The story had a few unexpected surprises and the characters were well developed. Definitely worth a read.

Lisa Jewell does it again. From the first page she grabs you inane you do not want to put the book down. This is well written with great detail.

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Lisa Jewell is such a talented author, she tells a twisty tale of how the lives of three women are all unknowingly connected by one man. Nick Radcliffe is charming, polished and seems too good to be true, is he? As he gets closer to her widowed mother, Ash questions his past, and dark truth begin to unravel. Lisa delivered another great book, I couldn't put it down.

This thriller is an absolute masterpiece, with a gripping plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The twists and turns are brilliantly executed, ensuring you’re constantly on the edge of your seat. This one will likely end up in my top 2025 books of the year! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book!

Lisa Jewell is a master of domestic suspense, and *Don't Let Him In* is another gripping example of her talent. This story delves into the complex and often unsettling dynamics of family secrets and the lingering impact of past trauma. We're introduced to a seemingly normal family whose lives are upended by the reappearance of a figure from their past. Jewell expertly weaves together past and present, slowly revealing the layers of their history and the dark secrets they've tried to bury.

The tension in *Don't Let Him In* builds steadily, keeping you on the edge of your seat as you try to piece together the puzzle. Jewell's writing is sharp and compelling, drawing you into the characters' inner turmoil and making you feel their anxieties as the threat closes in. I found myself constantly second-guessing everyone's motives, which is a hallmark of a good suspense novel.

While the pacing is generally excellent, there were a few moments where I felt the story lagged slightly. Additionally, while the ending was satisfying, I did find one particular plot point a little less believable than the rest of the narrative. These minor issues aside, *Don't Let Him In* is a thoroughly enjoyable and suspenseful read.

Overall, this is a solid addition to Lisa Jewell's body of work. If you enjoy twisty domestic thrillers with complex characters and a lingering sense of unease, then *Don't Let Him In* is definitely worth picking up. Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book. It was gripping from beginning to end. Lots of twists and turns I didn’t see coming.

I love Lisa jewell! None of this is true is actually my fav book but Don’t let him in is just as good! I did kind of figure out the ending quicker than expected and the topic has been quite popular in the recent years. Tingle swindler vibes for sure. My only negative comment is that it didn’t need to be that long chapter wise but it 100% tied together the way that makes your mouth drop in the "wtf style".

Thank you net galley & atria books for this e-arc 💓

Okay so this has a lot of good reviews and part of me thinks I just read it too slow to really enjoy it. I kept getting confused because it went back and forth so many times between points of view. It was definitely a good book but I never found myself on the edge of my seat and maybe that was my fault for reading so slowly. I do like the way it all connected back in the end but I just couldn’t follow it well enough

Thank you netgalley for this ARC when i saw lisa had a new book out and especially with this cover that i love so much i had to read it. This novel was so good and fast paced and i thought the storyline was so good.. We follow a character who we see the POV from but also see him under different names and living different lives and his mind was something one of my favorite things in thrillers are past chapters and present and we had that in this novel and i really enjoyed the daughter of the new woman and how she was getting suspicious vibes from him so she decided to do her own digging and maybe she figured him out maybe she didnt. I will say this novel also touched down on how people can become so obsessed with people to the point that they are so envious of them to the point they want to mirror the life they live and will go above and beyond to make that happen. This storyline definitely had secrets and betrayals i will say tho some of the characters didnt have alot of time in the book so sometimes when they mentioned some of the names i didnt really remember who some were but that could just be me. Lisa writes such great thrillers and i own some of hers that i really need to dive into because they are very enjoyable. Lately ive been getting back into thrillers and this one made me realize why i used to love thrillers alot. Good book!

It took a minute to get going for me. Eventually seeing how everything was connected, I was able to appreciate the detail and nuisance of the writing. Good read.

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this! I have read several other Lisa Jewell books, so when I saw this I knew I wanted to read it. Wow! Lisa does a great job with crazy and this was no exception. Manipulative and evil! A quick read that I recommend!

I love anything and everything from Lisa Jewell and Don’t Let Him In was no different. I found it to be fast paced, very engaging and I was on the edge of my seat at multiple points while reading this.

Thank you to the author, Atria Books and NetGalley for the advanced digital copy.

A bit slow and predictable. I felt like it took me ages to get through I was never really wanting to pick it up. It was an interesting concept but just not quite exciting enough for me.

I’ve read a lot of books by Lisa Jewell and loved them, but unfortunately, this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

The story was interesting, and I definitely got hooked, but everything felt super predictable. Which, for a Lisa Jewell book was severely dissappointint. That said, I still enjoyed the read—it felt like I was watching a movie, and the writing was great.

One thing I didn’t love was the switching between first-person and third-person POV, plus the constant time jumps. It made the first half of the book a bit hard to follow, and when I was already a little checked out from the characters, it made me not really care to follow.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!
