Thanks NetGalley and Atria Books for an ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review.
I had a hard time at first keeping all of the characters and the timelines straight but once things started coming together, it got interesting and I had a hard time putting it down. There were she times that I found things a bit unbelievable but overall I was satisfied with the story line and the ending. I did figure out one of the twists but there were others that I never saw coming.

I was so honored to receive this ARC of my absolute favorite author! Lisa’s writing is superb & everything is well thought out & this book is no different! The characters were all flushed out & I kept waiting to see how this insane story ended. I did see one of the twists coming, but that’s okay I still enjoyed it. I thought the pacing was good, the middle got a *bit* repeated (que Nick’s B.S) for me. The Amanda character shocked me the most & the one I have the most questions for. Overall, I enjoyed this novel & greatly look forward to more by Jewell. Thank you so much Atria Books and the queen, Lisa Jewell for allowing me to read this in advance!

This was a slow, tedious “thriller”. The writing was good and the plot had potential but…
The convoluted past/present timeline with dual POVs just dragged on for me. The four years was over the top and made it confusing at times.
The author’s portrayal of the female characters was conflicting at best. They were career oriented, educated and financially stable except where “he” was concerned..then they became weak, needy and pathetic.
I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, women of a “certain age” would be so vulnerable to fall for gaslighting, love bombing and financially supporting a man to that extent.
The epilogue at least provided closure.
Lisa Jewell is one of my favs, but I’m sadly disappointed with this one; such an awful representation of women.
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was a good one!! Lots of twists and multiple timelines, so it felt disjointed at times but overall enjoyable. The ending is so satisfying, if not a little unrealistic. Loved the psychological element, I really good description of narcissism and psychopathy.

Thanks NetGalley and Atria Books for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Jewell is one of my favourite authors, and after her last book, I was so excited to read this one.

This book is different than some of her other ones. It alternates points of view and timelines, so you really need to pay attention as you read. I think that it’s a little bit slow to start, but it really makes up for it in the last 50% of the book. There are a few twists that I did not see coming, and she puts together a great ending as she always does. I would definitely recommend sticking with this book as it does change in the second half. It was for this reason alone that I had to give it a four star rating. Definitely check this book out when it’s published later in June 2025.

This author! She never disappoints. This is a cautionary tale that should be required reading for every female. There are men out there who are harmful to women. Great ending - very suspenseful. One of those stories that would make such a good movie.

This was a great book to end the year with! Don't Let Him In was filled with multiple timelines and storylines that intersected. At times, this made the story a bit hard to follow, but overall, the story of a narcissistic man and the lives he impacted kept me reading! I finished the book in two days and highly recommend it!

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC approval.

A little difficult at first to keep people and the timeline straight as it seems to go back and forth, but all in all a solid look into the mind of a narcissist who lies to himself as well as all his women. An interesting concept that’s done so well I could not put the book down.

Lisa Jewell has done it again with this delicious, psychological thriller! I read everything this woman writes and this may be my favorite book of hers. I couldn’t put it down.
The story revolves around three women, Nina, who just lost her husband Patty, Ash,Nina and Patty’s daughter and Martha, mother of three and floral shop owner. Their lives swirl around each other and collide as dark secrets are brought to light.
There is also a man of many names. The real central character who is beautifully written. You will hate him. Lisa Jewell is truly gifted at writing these bizarre, creepy characters and getting into their minds so completely that they are made real.
I don’t want to say too much about the storyline and ruin it. You have to give this one a shot. I highly recommend it!
Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read this advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Lisa Jewell does it again with her newest release! I literally finished this novel in the span of one night! So good!

Slightly different than the typical Lisa Jewell novel, this one wasn't as much of twisty thriller as some of her previous ones. It's more of a psychological thriller where some of the plot is predictable, yet at the same time it's addicting. Although, the ending did have a nice shocking twist. There were plenty of times that I wanted to knock some sense into all the women characters who were being conned by one masterful con man. One thing is for certain...don't let him in...you may be sorry.

Another example of how masterful of a writer Lisa Jewell is, this is one not to miss!

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

AMAZING. Lisa Jewell does it once again. A story set from multiple view points, with unreliable narrators, and many twist and turns.
Even after finishing this book....I'm still not sure what exactly happened 🤯

Another amazing 5 ⭐️ read by the queen herself!

This book took you on multiple timelines through a very troubled man’s life and several other women impacted by him. The amount of hate I had towards this man while reading was strong. There were times I wanted to throw my kindle or punch this antagonist character because I just couldn’t believe what I was reading. Lisa Jewell captured this type of man; a gaslighter, abusive, con-man, sleazy, a cheater, woman hater and overall awful man so well through the pages of this book. And the sad part is that there are actual men out there like this. And I unfortunately was married to one. But I digress.

I loved the short chapters, and how the timelines all made sense in the end. At times it was hard to follow. A lot of characters. But in the end it all made sense. And it was a triumph end for sure. Don’ Let Him in was a thrilling mystery, a domestic page turner thriller and binge worthy for sure.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC approval. This was a great book to end 2024!

Queen Lisa does it again. Thank you thank you thank you @atriabooks and @netgalley for my e-arc I devoured this in days in an impromptu buddy read. Thanks for letting me join @marishareadsalot

Don’t Let Him In by @lisajewelluk is a suspenseful and gripping domestic thriller that delves into the darker side of family secrets, obsession, bigamy, and trust. Known for her ability to craft layered, complex characters and interweaving narratives, Jewell once again delivers a chilling story that keeps readers guessing until the very last page.

Jewell masterfully blurs the lines between trust and suspicion, creating a tense atmosphere that kept me on edge.

With her signature blend of atmospheric tension and vivid character development, Jewell delivers an engrossing read that will appeal to fans of domestic thrillers and family dramas. It’s a chilling reminder of how little we sometimes know about the people we let into our lives. The mc reminded me of my ex husband 🙃.

Sorry peasants- this isn’t out until 6/24/25 but you should pre-order it and add to your Tbr.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lisa Jewell has done it again! I could not put this thriller down. The book follows one conman and many women throughout, with twists and turns at every chapter. There was a lot of characters, so you may need to write stuff down to keep track but it was a very good read!

This is my favorite Lisa Jewell so far. A twisty read, weaving together people and places with a sinister connection. I found this such a fun and quick read, and was unsure of what was going to happen until the very end. Definitely a worthy read!
Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the digital ARC of this novel.

Amazing book! I was in a bad reading slump after reading 299 books this year. This was number 300 and I’m out of my slump and ready for the new year. This was jam packed with greatness. I loved Ash. This book captivated me from beginning to end. So happy to have been chosen to read this early! When it comes out I will also listen on audio I loved it that much!

Loved this bool and Lisa Jewell however I expected a bit more of a twist from Lisa Jewell. I had guessed Nick was all these people and that he sent the letters to Ash and that Amanda impersonated Tara. Amazing pacing though and Nicks psycho perspective was great

9/10 (rounded up)

I really enjoyed the characters. She absolutely did a great job of creating a detestable character in Alistair/Nick/Simon/etc.. you live for his demise. I loved how she wrote so many women, at different points and positions in their lives, are all able to be manipulated by Nick. She writes him as such a true psychopath, but rewrites the script on what a “typical tv psychopath” looks like.. she writes the minutia, the small behaviors, the personality traits, and she writes them well. it made my skin crawl, and it actually made me wonder if any of the people around me, any people i know, are like this.

Ash, Martha, Tara, Amanda, Nina (and many others) all have something unknown in common.. They’ve all let him in. Much to his dismay, Nick has sent these women careening towards eachother on a path paved with lies, money, and manipulation.

tiny summary:

When Nick comes into Ash and Nina’s lives, Ash can see the writing on the wall, but Nina can’t. In order to protect her mother from this opportunistic conman swooping in to win over her mother after her father’s untimely murder, she must expose Nick for what he is. However, in doing so, she exposes murders, extortion, coercion, and the sheer psychopathy of the man worming his way into her life and her deceased father’s place.

my one and only complaint about this one, is that it was slightly long winded, and could be confusing. there were a lot of women with very similar storylines, and it could be hard at times to separate the present from the past, and who was who. Ash was really the only one with a different enough story to differentiate.

thank you to NetGalley and Atria books for the ARC of this novel in exchange for my review 🤍

Lisa Jewell has a knack for crafting compelling page-turners, and Don’t Let Him In is no exception. The story pulls you into the chilling world of Nick Radcliff—also known as Al, Jonathan, or whatever name he’s using with whichever woman he’s ensnared. The book is a quick read, but it leaves a lingering unease as the full scope of Nick’s secrets is revealed.

While the plot is dark and twisty, piecing together the fragments of Al’s life, the lack of a significant twist at the end was a bit disappointing. It felt like the story was building to a bigger payoff that didn’t quite materialize. Despite this, it’s a gripping, unsettling read that will make you think twice about letting anyone like Nick into your life.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy.
