Lisa Jewell is one of those authors whose new releases go to the top of my TBR pile. I was beyond excited to get her latest book, “Don’t Let Him In” ahead of its release. She does a beautiful job of setting the stage with multiple character viewpoints and it takes a bit to piece together what is going on. She created a villain that I haven’t had as much hatred for since “the prick” in Bad Sisters. The plot moves at a great pace, has strong character development, and a satisfying ending. The twists and turns are well timed and it was hard to put down. The title is very appropriate as I wanted to warn several characters to not let him in! It was a perfect summer weekend read and one you will still think about long after finishing the last page. 4.5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the digital ARC of ”Don’t Let Him In” in exchange for my honest opinion.

Oh. My. Goodness. It’s been awhile since I’ve hated a character this much. Lisa Jewell knows how to write deeply disturbed individuals, and she can get into their reasons and motivations like few authors can. This book will be another huge hit. It’s a fast read, because you get sucked in immediately, trying to figure out who’s who when many different women are involved.

Little hints about Nick’s past are dropped here and there, and Jewell keeps you guessing throughout. I don’t want to give away too much, but I got really, really angry about the self-justifications made. You ain’t all that, honey child! And no one OWES you anything…they’re just existing! Ugh!

To sum up, this is well worth a read. For me, I read it so fast partially because I wanted to be done with a certain perspective, and I definitely won’t be reading this again. It makes me too angry. And yet…isn’t that a testament to Jewell’s extraordinary ability to write characters that get under your skin? I’d say so.

Looking forward to her next book! I’m giving this one a 4.25, rounded down.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for gifting me an eARC. All opinions are mine.

This was a WILD ride!! I really enjoyed this one and the multiple POVs that were going on throughout it. Nick Radcliffe was such a con artist and made me hate him so much by the end after what he did to all these women. I wouldn’t consider this a thriller more a mystery I felt. I thought this was good but it didn’t blow me away like Lisa’s other books that I felt blew me away ‘None of This is True’ &’ Then She Was Gone’. Thank you Netgalley and Atria books for my ebook in exchange for a honest review.

I devoured this one!! I couldn't stop reading this book and had to know how it was going to end! The main character Nick, was so annoying and I disliked him so much. But that's what made the book that much better. If you're a fan of Lisa Jewell I think you'll love this one. So much drama and I loved the ending so much!

Lisa Jewell is one of my favourite authors and this book is a great example of why! Fantastic characters and kept me on the edge of my seat. Loved it!!!

'Don't Let Him In' is about a mysterious but seemingly perfect man and the women in his life. I liked that it ended up being about women getting together to take down a jerk. It had good tension and used good storytelling, though there was some predictability. This was an interesting concept and classic Lisa Jewell storytelling. I loved the ending, that these women didn't tear each other down, but working together to tear down a man who tried to tear them down. There were some aspects I predicted, and some I didn't.

Who are you? Who are you really?

Three women are connected to one man in this thriller. There were different timelines and different points of view which made it very easy to keep reading to find out what happened.

It was a fantastic greed and very interesting. I loved all the twists and turns and it kept me interested in reading till the end

This author never disappoints .

This book will be published June 24, 25 and will be available soon and I highly recommend it .

I loved this book! Lisa Jewell is so good at letting you think you have her plot figured out and then takes you in a direction you never imagined. A great and twisty thriller with a great protagonist, the perfect date, mate, husband with a twist. This book has many dual story lines to follow as well as jumping back and forth in time. This took me a minute to remember all the characters but once the story grabs you it all winds together seamlessly. This is a great beach read or a rainy summer day it pulls you in quickly. Which I feel like is signature Lisa Jewell, and makes her books a must read for me.

Lisa Jewell always knows how to write a book that I cannot put down! I devoured this in one sitting and loved how the story ended up playing out with these twists!

Thank you to Lisa Jewelll, NetGalley, and Atria Books for letting me read and review an ARC of this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC. I must say Lisa Jewell is kind of hit or miss for me. This one though I think is my favorite thus far. The final twist at the end was well played. Definitely worth the read.

Don’t Let Him In is a story that follows the stories of three women and the mysterious men in their lives.

After Paddy Swann tragically loses his life, his wife(Nina) and daughter(Ash) are left to pick up the pieces. After the loss, Nina is contacted by an old friend of Paddy, named Nick Radcliffe. While he seems like the perfect man, Ash can sense that something is off.. that things seem to be too good to be true.

In another story line we learn about Martha and her doting husband, Alistair. While Al can seem to be the perfect man at times, he has a secret side to him that frustrates Martha and leaves her wondering just what is he hiding.

How do these characters all fit together you may ask?? Well, you’ll just have to read the book for yourself to find out!

Don’t Let Him In is another solid production from author Lisa Jewell. While the story was a little slow in the beginning, it picked up as I got further into it. It was hard to understand at first how each character fit and to keep them straight. But by the end, I understood each one well and appreciated the full storyline. Overall, it was a solid read with a good ending.

Thank you to Atria Books and Net Galley for providing me with the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Also thank you to the author, Lisa Jewell, for providing us with another great read!

Easily one of the best thrillers I’ve read thus far! While it started a little slow and took me a bit to get settled with who the characters were, once it got going I could not put it down.

The book follows two main points of view, Ash, whose father passed the year prior and has some reservations about her new boyfriend, Nick; and Nick’s POV through the past.

The only thing I wished it had was a more “revenge is a dish best served cold” type ending. If you’ve read and enjoyed Lisa Jewell novels in the past, you must pick this one up!

3.25 stars. I liked Lisa Jewell's last release, but DON'T LET HIM IN had me perpetually shaking my head. The story follows a narcissistic con-man/psychopath hellbent on destroying the lives of many women through his lies, violence and manipulations. I've seen this story play out in many mediums before, but this book had me more frustrated than captivated. Jewell does demonstrate how easy it is for a hot man to swindle you over and over again, but I can't help but feel that these women's intelligence was grossly underestimated. Like, I know the point is that these kinds of men exist and take advantage of sad and broken women, it just made me so angry to see it happen repetitively. The red flags were all there, you're really telling me you would let this shit play out as much as you did? I have trauma too, but the minute my gut is telling me that hottie is a baddie, it's prolly true. IS THE DICK REALLY THAT GOOD? (GUESS SO?!)

Like AMERICAN PSYCHO, it's intriguing to follow the mind of a crazy person, because sometimes their internal dialogue is scarier than the reality. In this case, both the reality and psyche are equally fucked. Like, ew, thank goodness for these daughters because you men are resting on your looks and it shows...you're not getting a DOLLAR from me because I’m forever side-eyeing you sexy moochers that have a battalion of excuses and sob stories. But I get Jewell's point that there are many things we let slide when we love someone because love is blinding like that. This is why you trust no one, especially silver foxes that promise you the world.

Jewell is clearly a talented writer, but I read this in chunks because I was so frustrated by the dumb excuses and gullible characters that weren't using their brains, and the reveals were predictable, convenient and honestly far fetched. Moral of the story: work on your self-esteem so these fuckers can't prey on you. Woof. This dude is the worst and it's scary to think there are thousands of men just like him out in the real world right now. Special thanks to NetGalley and Atria for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another banger from Lisa Jewell!!! Felt like I was watching a Netflix documentary. Had me gripped from the beginning, even though I was confused because so many characters had been introduced right off the bat, it made me want to keep reading to figure out who everyone was.
And the ending was very satisfying!!! Even though the twists were predictable it didn't deter me from reading or getting bored of the story. Definitely recommend for thriller fans!

Thank you to Atria Books for the NetGalley ARC!!

I can nearly always count on Lisa Jewell for a good time, and Don’t Let Him In continues that trend. With her trademark propulsive storytelling and intriguing character development, Jewell weaves an addictive story about gaslighting, manipulation, and redemption that had me hooked from the very beginning.

I’m not going to summarize the plot here, because it’s pretty complex – and besides, it would be more fun to go into this one with no idea of where it’s headed. It’s a little confusing at first, as Jewell introduces a large cast of characters and sets up the connections among them, but once things get going, they don’t stop. What I love about Jewell’s books is that they’re not always super twisty; often, it’s patently obvious what’s happening very early on – which is the case with Don’t Let Him In. The good stuff is in the way she plots her books and the vibrant, richly-detailed characters she creates. She makes it so delicious and fun to watch how everything plays out.

I would classify Don’t Let Him In as a domestic drama with the pacing and propulsion of a thriller. It’s very much focused on family dynamics and how people cope with loss, grief, and trauma. I do perhaps wish the villain at the center of the story would have had a few more shades of gray to him, just a bit more complexity to his character – but ultimately his horribleness served as a catalyst for a lot of growth and empowerment for many of the women in his life (or should I say lives?). Don’t Let Him In was thought-provoking and satisfying and, sadly, all too believable in today’s world. Thank you to Atria Books for the early reading opportunity.

I was so excited to get this book as I have read others from this author and liked them. However, this one fell flat for me. There wasn’t really any depth to the characters and the plot is a con man going after widowers. The beginning was and ending were ok but the middle just took forever. Nothing really interesting happened and I found myself bored while reading.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster publisher for my advance readers copy. This is my honest and voluntary opinion.

WILD. From start to finish, this will definitely keep you on your toes. Lisa does a great job of dropping details that will come back later. I will admit though that the first 40% of this definitely felt hard to follow timeline wise... Once you understand the pattern though, it all comes together. It also felt a bit slow until the last half. There were a few details that I wish had planned out more, not sure the purpose of a few characters, honestly.

The font thing definitely needs fixed, I understand wanting to separate each character's chapters but the MMC's is TOO tiny. Names at the beginning of the chapters would have sufficed. Also, ugh!! Why was Jane not involved! She could have been a scorned ex of Nick's or something. I am not sure what her purpose was.

This book had me hooked from the very first chapter. The suspense never let up, and just when I thought I had it figured out, another twist hit. Lisa Jewell masterfully blends tension and unpredictability, making this a standout thriller. Huge thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC.

Lisa Jewell has done it again! The queen of twisty, “popcorn thrillers” is back with another great novel! This time, the main character will make you want to throw your kindle! I’m serious, I don’t know if I have ever read a more frustrating point of view. I loved to HATE him!

Two storylines intersecting come together at the end with some twists, and have your jaw dropping. Just when I thought I had an idea of where the plot was going, the twist happened and I was left gasping! It’s been a while since I enjoyed a thriller so much.

Thank you Lisa Jewell, Atria Books, and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this novel- out June 24th!

I picked up Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell with high hopes, but I struggled with the back-and-forth timelines and multiple character perspectives. I found it hard to keep track of what was happening, and eventually I put it down before finishing. It just didn’t hook me the way her other books have. That said, I’ve seen plenty of readers really enjoy it so it might just be a “not for me, for now” kind of read. I may circle back to it later with a fresh mindset.
