Love love love! This was an absolute blast. I tore through this. I think this will be a hit. Can’t wait for Lisa’s next book!

Don’t Let Him In might be my favorite thriller I’ve ever read! This book was perfectly paced and twisty and I couldn’t put it down! Add this to your TBR immediately!

A cunning con man, a daughter on a mission, a wife with many questions. As always, Lisa Jewell takes us on a wild ride with this book and it's hard to say more without spoiling the story for others.

There are a lot of characters and the story moves between the past and present frequently. This caused some confusion but not enough to detract from enjoying the book as a whole.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the advance copy.

First I want to say thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC.

Lisa Jewell’s “Don’t Let Him In” is a winding story. It was slightly difficult to keep up with all the separate POVs. I also don’t feel like too much really happened. And like her last book I found myself waiting for the other shoe to drop. It really never did.

I give this book a solid 3 stars because I did enjoy the story, but I feel like the execution and the twists could’ve been better.

This book stressed me out in the best way possible! I was so invested and utterly entertained up until the very last page.I have never met a villain in a book I despised as much as this one. I was so mad! I just wanted to yell, "STOP HIM!" 5 stars! This was utterly fantastic!

4.5 ⭐️

This is one of those books that as much as I want to write an entire synopsis to explain how page turning it was I don’t actually want to spoil a single chapter. I honestly feel like this was a new side of Lisa Jewell that I love! Every single chapter had me questioning where it was going and what was coming next. The characters were so well written that you loved some, thought some were very naive, and absolutely hated, wanted their world to come crashing on top of them. I opened this book not knowing what it was about and it was such a great surprise.

it has been a very, very long time since a thriller has made me feel this way. it had me staying up late, sitting for hours, canceling plans - this book is that GURL. by far my favorite Lisa book yet (which says a lot because she’s probably my favorite thriller/mystery author out of them all).

if you looked up the word gaslight in the dictionary there would be a link to purchase this book. this book is off its ROCKER. you get to know a few women but mostly pay attention to 3 main ones. as you go back and forth between their lives and POVs you also get to meet a man that ends up connecting all of them. just read and see & go into it as blind as you can!

this book doesn’t come out until the summer so want to keep my review short and spoiler free. go into it blind. expect all the emotions - it’s a really good one. thank you publishers and netgalley for an ARC ❣️ i will be shocked if this is not my favorite thriller for 2025!

A thriller that's actually thrilling! Never had read a Lisa Jewell book before, but after this I will definitely be picking another one up. It keeps you wanting to read one and keep turning the pages. The blurb and beginning might seem a little confusing, but it keeps you hooked once you start reading and there are twists and turns to keep you gasping. If you love thrillers, this is a must read. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

A new Lisa Jewell book is a real cause for celebration—I got hooked after 2023's None of This Is True and read every Jewell I could get my hands on. Her latest, Don't Let Him In, is an absolute banger of a thriller, centering on a con man who goes from woman to woman, swindling them of their resources and leaving a trail of confusion and broken hearts in his wake. When his latest victim's daughter starts noticing some suspicious activity from the charming new man in her mom's life, she uncovers more than she bargained for, including several murders. I loved it, and I'm a little jealous of the people who get to read it poolside when it comes out in July.

I think I said “Wait, what?” about 20 times during this read.

Don’t Let Him In is truly addicting as you find yourself rapidly turning the pages to uncover many secrets. This was such a riveting, twisty book and I had to take a day to think about it before I wrote my review.

I will say, in the beginning I got very confused with all the characters brought in. There were so many names, it was a little difficult to keep up with. I can only imagine how Thriller Queen Lisa Jewell was able to remember all these names and their roles.

The ending felt a little rushed and not as satisfying as I’d hoped it would be, especially after feeling frustrated throughout the book (which you’re suppose to feel).

Overall, I did enjoy this!

"Don't Let Him In" by Lisa Jewell delves into the dark world of a serial bigamist conman. With her signature expertise in crafting complex characters and intricate plots, Jewell masterfully unravels the tangled web of lies and deceit spun by “Nick”. The story follows the lives of several women who unknowingly become entangled in Nick’s deceitful games. Lisa kept me on the edge of my seat as always. I could not put this down!! I will say it’s more a domestic thriller than a psychological thriller. Which I didn’t mind but just something to tell readers. 5/5 ⭐️. Thank you Netgalley, Lisa Jewell, Atria books for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

very good! Lisa Jewell is an amazing author and I was on the edge of my seat. I love how surprising all the twists were.

💭What I thought would happen:

Don’t let him in sounds like my personal mantra. Are men getting increasingly worse or are many just saying the things that have stayed in the head? 🪦😂 obviously there’s a bad bad man in this book.

📖What actually happens:

👀Stalking
🎯Targeting
💰Scamming/con artist
🙅🏼‍♀️Gaslighting ⚠️
🪦Death in the family

🗯Thoughts/sassy musings:

If you’re planning on reading this one grab a buddy. Thank you to my ladies @Chatty.Chapters and @Lloydreads for being there for me to unload every thought after every chapter.

You know that meme of Charlie Day with the crazy eyes and suspect board behind him? Yeaaah that’s how I felt trying to keep track of all of the characters in the beginning. 😂

I’ll say there was something about the book that just couldn’t get it to a 5, I won’t say here because I’d very much like people to read and enjoy it without my grumpy bum tainting it.

Sooooo bingeable. Like you’ll want to clear your schedule until this book is finished and buckle up for some serious female rage. A perfect book for 2025 😂🤬🤬🤬

I’m certain this will be very popular. I hope ya’ll enjoy! This one is out June 24.

very very thrilling thriller with a VERY ominous antagonist and some very cool characters. 5 stars. tysm for the arc.

This was such a freaking fun read!! It felt like a bit of a slower paced thriller to me, since there wasn’t really anything too insane going on for much of the story. But I just could NOT stop reading, I needed the train wreck to happen.

I went in to this blind initially, so was a bit confused in the beginning with all of the characters. But I figured it out, had a great time, and loved the ending!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced digital copy!

My second Lisa
Jewell book and she did not disappoint!!! Keep me wanting to keep
Reading. Just when you think you’ve figured it out. No you didn’t!

First, thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for the advanced digital copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have been reading Lisa Jewell books for a while now and they are always a MUST read whenever new ones are published, so I was beyond excited that I was selected to read Don't Let Him In (publish date 6/24/25). This book a fantastic psychological thriller with a bit of a darker side to the story that will leave you speechless. This book is my first 5 star for 2025.

SPOILERS BELOW:
Don't Let Him In has multiple points of view, that may seem a little confusing in the beginning, but once you catch on to what is going on, you won't be able to turn the pages fast enough. One point of view is from Ash, a mid twenties woman that was living in London, though now living at home after a mental breakdown. She is also now having to deal with the tragedy of the death of her father. Nina, Ash's mother and recently widowed, meets a man that Ash is super suspicious of but unsure how to tell her mother due to her past issues. We also meet Martha, a florist, who has a new baby and 2 sons from a previous marriage and a new husband who is always traveling and never available.

One other point of view is from "Nick." The loathing I had for this man made me want to scream at the book. Creeper, manipulator, narcissist, his obsessions have made and destroyed families. The way he slithers throughout the book into peoples' lives is a masterclass of manipulation.

This book is packed with unexpected twists and turns that will keep you hooked from start to finish. This book was so cleverly disturbing and a perfect thriller for 2025.

Yikes. Another realistic, immersive, twisty read form Lisa Jewell. She sure knows how to write a realistic psychopathic main character. My only drawback was with all the moving parts, it was a little challenging to keep everything straight. However, it was still very well done!

I’m so excited to have had the opportunity to read Lisa Jewell’s upcoming release, Don’t Let Him In! This psychological thriller kept me engaged throughout. The different timelines tell the backstory of this particular man and his ‘unique’ lifestyle, and the women who fall head over heels for his charm and deceit. A lot is interwoven and slowly unfolds, keeping the suspense and intrigue levels high! The ending fell a bit short for me though. Otherwise it was a super engaging thriller with a few twists.

Lisa Jewell has done it yet again! Another compelling psychological thriller from an author that never disappoints. The multiple POVs and timelines make for a charged twisty puzzle. This one will keep you guessing and the deception alone will make your head spin.

Five women, five men and a whole mess of lies. How are they all connected you ask? Sharing too much can unravel this tangled tale. And what’s the fun in that? You will have to read it to believe it. Just remember, Don’t Let Him In.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.
