Ooooo this was gooood!

I hate to say it but I didn’t love Liv Constantine’s last few books as much as I loved their earlier ones but this book won me back.

Between the brutal, horrifying dreams that seem to come true, the flash backs, unknown wife POV - this was just done so well.

This was fun, twisty, intense - and hit the way you want a popcorn thriller to hit.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!

This was one of the twistiest thrillers I’ve read all year! Liv Constantine is a must read author for me. I went into this book blind and I’ll admit I was a little nervous with the psychic dreams. Paranormal type things aren’t really for me usually. The writing had me hooked though and this turned into one of my favorite reads. The betrayal, the lies, the deceit, the emotions. I was completely immersed in this story. An absolute must read.

I've been a big fan of this author duo since reading The Last Mrs. Parrish several years ago. I was super excited to start reading Don't Open Your Eyes and it did not disappoint. Once I started reading, I could not stop!

Anabelle is an interesting protagonist. She has a seemingly amazing life with a great career, a loving doctor husband and two wonderful daughters. What else could anyone ask for?!! So, when she starts having dreams about arguing with her husband and her daughters' lives being in jeopardy, she has trouble making sense of them until they start coming true and she realizes that they are actually premonitions and not just nightmares.

The story is told from multiple perspectives (namely Anabelle, her daughter Scarlett and someone referred to as "The Wife:") and dual timelines which can sometimes be difficult to follow. However, in this case, it was so well done and really helped build tension. and suspense. This was definitely the best psychological thriller that I've read so far this year!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballentine for my advanced reader copy.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the gifted e-arc of this book.

I'm kinda on the line with this one. I'm going to go with a 3.5 ⭐️ I found myself ebbing in and out of interest. In some moments I thought about DNFing and then I'd power through and be enjoying it.

Annabelle has a secret from her younger years that she thought she could keep from her two daughters. She has a loving, but sometimes overbearing husband. A great job that she loves. From the outside it looks like Annabelle has a perfect life. Inside her mind is a mess. She missed her mother dearly, she yearns for someone in the past, and she thinks she’s seeing into the future.

The book had some really good twists in the plot. Some of the twists gave clues to the mystery of the story. Others you won’t figure out until the end. Overall the book was super enjoyable.

I gave the book 3 stars because the author included dream premonition. While it made the story interesting it was vaguely mentioned once as to why Annabelle was having the dreams. It felt out of place with no explanation. It made the book feel like the author wanted something supernatural in the book, but did not follow through.

This was really great, super twisty, interesting characters. I loved the twists and turns! Most importantly, I can say I am glad I didn't give up on Liv Constantine, even though I really didn't enjoy her last couple of books.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

Liv Constantine does it again, an excellent following after the Parrish books.

The story flips between today, where Annabelle is married to James and they have two children together, Scarlett and Olivia. Annabelle coaches high end clients to efficiently run their social media and James is a neurologist.

Shortly following college, Annabelle had a baby boy with a professor she was seeing at the time. Unfortunately, the baby died, quickly following birth, due to a sudden onset of preeclampsia. Annabelle leaned on James for support and eventually, they got married and had children of their own.

Back to present day, Annabelle is having weird dreams that sometimes “predict” an event that is going to happen. James doesn’t believe her and suggests she take time off of work to seek intense therapy. This continues, and the divide between the two of them deepens.

It all comes to a head when an event that Annabelle had predicted, an injury to the older daughter, Scarlett, comes to light. Annabelle is overtaken with guilt and dismay as to the circumstances that have come together that caused Scarlett to get hurt.

Constantine manages to weave a thrilling story that has twists all the way to the end. Highly recommend!

If Liv Constantine writes it, i am going to read it. This edge of your seat psychological thriller will have you gasping out loud at parts you have never seen coming. Holy sh*t came out of my mouth more than once when reading this unputdownable book. For lovers of thrillers, this one won’t disappoint!

Love this author so was so excited to read this one. I loved the concept, but was a little “meh” about the catfishing aspect.

So grateful for the gifted copy of this one!

The start of this book was absolutely gripping. From the first page, it pulled me in so much that I couldn’t stop reading until I finished it all in one go. It had this magnetic quality that kept me hooked, and I really enjoyed the way the story unfolded at the beginning.

But as the story progressed, especially with the twist involving the main character, my heart started to hurt. The twist was so dark and complicated that it left me confused and a bit shaken. It was hard to fully understand what the character was thinking or why they acted the way they did. While the writing was impressive and the story was clearly well done, the emotional heaviness of the twist felt overwhelming at times.

Overall, the book is very well crafted and worth reading, but personally, a slightly less twisted turn in the plot would have made the experience more enjoyable.

Super quick and enjoyable thriller with engaging POV shifts and enough breadcrumbs to unravel the mystery but still have a mostly satisfying ending.

Don’t Open Your Eyes by Liv Constantine completely pulled me in. This is one of those thrillers I literally couldn’t put down—I read it in one sitting.

The story follows Annabel, who begins having disturbing dreams... and then some of them start coming true. Her family thinks she’s losing her mind, but Annabel starts to wonder if something much more sinister is going on.

As she tries to manage her life as a wife and mother, the line between dreams and reality starts to blur—and a dark, twisted plan begins to unfold. I was hooked by every twist, and the tension had me questioning everything right alongside Annabel.

Fast-paced, eerie, and full of suspense, this is a psychological thriller that’s both compelling and unsettling in the best way. Highly recommend to fans of twisty, one-sitting reads.

Loved this book !! Just when I thought I knew.. I didn’t!! Binged it in one day … loved it, definitely will buy . Thank you for the privilege of getting an arc to read early

I really liked this! LC is one of my favorite author pairs. I gave it a 3.5 rating overall. Short and quick easy chapters that kept you guessing until the very end.

Liv Constantine’s newest book is a psychological thriller about a woman with prescient dreams and the lengths she’ll go to prevent the tragedies she sees in them, much to the annoyance of those around her. Don’t Open Your Eyes is twisty and chock-full of unreliable narrators, wild reveals, and eerie, otherworldly elements that have the reader questioning how accurate a mother’s intuition truly is.

3.5
A fun, quick, easy, twisty, summer thriller is here! The reason to read Liv Constantine is to completely indulge yourself in an entertaining mystery. This book starts off strong, pulling the reader in. It sagged a bit in the middle when I wondered where the storyline was going, but by the end, I was hit continuously with my jaw dropping, resumed by a smile on my face after each satisfied twist.

Annabelle, the mother, begins having random dreams that start to actually come true-she is on high alert with a level of fear mongering amongst her family members. Scarlett, the daughter, is chatting with someone online and getting into dangerous territory. Worlds collide and the summer thriller is here!

I'm ready for her next one!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the gifted e-arc of this book.

I enjoyed this book and the flow of the plot. I had a few guesses of what was going to happen, and I was wrong, so that lends to a good book. I did think the book could be a little shorter there were areas of fluff. Overall, I enjoyed the journey while reading this and the suspense

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I’ve really enjoyed previous books I've read by Liv Constantine, so if you’re like me, you will not be disappointed!! Our main character, Annabelle has been having very troubling dreams. What is more troubling however is that they start coming true. She begins to fear that her husband and daughter are in constant physical danger and that she herself faces dangers as well. In hers however, a handsome stranger is involved. Par for the course, the author keeps you guessing as new plot twists come along the way.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this ArC in exchange for a honest review.

The book started really slow and I was about to DNF but because I enjoy this author I stuck with it and the rest of the book did not disappoint. I can always count on this author to give a great suprise ending and this book is no different.

Thank you NetGalley, Random House Publishing, and Liv Constantine for the ARC! I LOVED this book. The relationships between the characters were so twisted and the author did a really great job transitioning between character points of view throughout the story. 4 stars, love this author!
