I always look forward to a new release from Liv Constantine. They write fun, read in a day popcorn thrillers. This did not disappoint and could cure any reading slump. I found it to be a real page turner.

I really enjoyed this book about Annabelle who had a difficult life in the past, but now has a seemingly perfect life in a Fairfield County CT. A mom to two girls with a doctor husband and a successful career. Then she starts having nightmares that come true…

This was a four star book all the way for me, but I did find the ending especially enjoyable.

As always thank you to NetGalley and Random House for the earc in exchange for my honest review.

3.5Stars. This books definitely kept my attention, and was a good read. The plot centers around the MC Annabelle, a married mother of two who suddenly starts having vivid dreams that turn out to be real. I would have liked the author to expand upon the origin of these dreams. Its barely mentioned that Annabelle's grandmother also had premonitions. There is a good reveal towards the end that I didn't see coming, and the ending is satisfying.

Fan-Freaking-Tastic!!!! This book had me hooked from the start and kept getting better as it went on. The twists and turns made me feel like I was on a tilt-a-whirl.
Liv you didn’t disappoint on this one… It has it all!!
The who dun it will have your mind spinning and thinking you know but you just don’t know.
Thank you to Random House publishing and NetGalley for this ARC for my honest review.

I was really intrigued by the synopsis of this book. Once I started reading it, I was immediately drawn in. As the story progressed, I thought I knew who did it, but I was sorely mistaken. I do feel that the ending was a little much, but overall, I enjoyed it.

I loved the different take on this thriller! Every time Annabelle goes to sleep she dreams. When she wakes up the dreams are seeming to come true! Annabelle must make decisions to make changes in her life to keep what she dreamt from happening! Are the dreams going to really happen or is Annabelle worrying for no reason? This book kept me guessing the whole time!

I love Liv Constantine's books, and this one was no exception. I devoured this one in a few sittings- Annabelle has the perfect life, loving husband and two amazing daughters. However, she starts having nightmares that seem to be coming true, and Annabelle will do anything to stop these her nightmares from coming true.
I appreciated the ARC, our library will be purchasing this book when released

This book had me hooked early on—the writing was super readable, and the suspense kept building in a way that made it hard to put down. I liked the eerie vibe, especially with the dreams and the shifting timelines. That said, some of the twists felt a bit over the top, and the multiple perspectives didn’t always add much for me. Still, I appreciated the originality and the way everything eventually came together. Even if this wasn’t a favorite, I’d definitely pick up another book by this author.

I read this sitting on the beach, and it had everything I wanted for a quick beach read! Well written with some great twists and turns.

I love books with an ending so twisted you could have never predicted it! This does not disappoint! Twist after twist in the last 20% of the book. 😍 That said, the back and forth in time between chapters was a bit hard to follow and did not hook me right away. But as always, it all came together in the end!

I think I’ve read all books written by Liv Constantine, and I always enjoy everything they write- this is no exception! However, I didn’t love this one as much as some of this duo’s other works. First, the good: this is an extremely fast, easy read. Initially wasn’t sure I could get onboard with the dreams that are really premonitions, but it worked! The writing isn’t complex. It held my attention throughout. Lots of twists and turns! Which leads me to the less good: I think this book sacrifices something in trying to introduce all of those twists and somehow almost becomes… predictable? I hate spoilers in reviews so I will try to be vague but, for example, the introduction of “the wife” chapters immediately was a red herring for me and I ended up guessing where we were going. So still a fun book, but I didn’t really get the shock value they were probably going for. Will still recommend!

Thanks again to Random House and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this thriller!

I received Don't Open Your Eyes from NetGalley for an honest review. This book follows Annabelle and her family. Annabelle has a husband and two daughters and lives a seemingly normal life. She is however having dreams that seem to give her visions of what will happen in the future. These dreams start to come true and she begins to have visions that things will go wrong in her own life.

The story goes between a few perspectives as well as time periods in order to create a full picture of what is happening. While fast paced, I found many of the twists predictable and parts of the book felt very repetitive. The characters were also quite flawed with many being unlikable. I enjoyed the book but found it to be unsatisfying in the end. If you're looking for a fast paced fluff piece, this is for you. But if you are looking for something unique and thought provoking, look elsewhere.

When Annabelle begins having dreams that quickly become reality, she freaks out. She worries these dangerous and scary dreams are premonitions for the future of her and her family.

Typically I enjoy everything Liv Constantine writes, and this was no different. This book was slower than some of her other books, but really picked up speed around the last third of the book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bantam Books, and Liv Constantine for this ARC. It will become available on June 17, 2025.

4.5 Rounded Up!

What a wild ride this book was! I loved the twists and it had some great full circle moments as you are figuring everything out. I had some things figured out but there were some I didn't see coming. I wasn't a big fan of how Scarlett's character played out, I felt like there could have been less chapters from her POV but when there were some, sprinkled in here and there, that they were done with a more meaningful purpose. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend to fellow thriller lovers!

Annabelle has an ideal life. A fulfilling career as a social media marketing specialist, a loving husband who also happens to be a doctor, and two beautiful daughters. Annabelle begins to have vivid dreams predicting the future. The thought of having her family leave the house terrifies her. What is prompting her dreams? I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

I have constantly heard great things about this author, so I was excited to dive in. But the writing was so juvenile. I couldn't find anything I liked.

When Annabelle’s dreams start becoming reality, she slowly starts to piece together all the wrongs in her life. She fears the most for her oldest daughter, Scarlett, who is also going through something herself. The story goes back & forth between the POV of Annabelle & Scarlett, with an occasional POV from a mysterious “Wife.” The story was very fast-paced & entertaining that I had a hard time putting it down. It came together in the end with a satisfying resolution.

Thank you to NetGalley & Bantam for an advanced eARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

The queens of plot twist are back!

If you love psychological thrillers that keep you constantly questioning what’s real, what's not and who to trust, Don't Open Your Eyes is an absolute must-read. Again, Liv Constantine spins a brilliant web of deceit, secrets, and unexpected connections that had me hooked from the very first page.

Annabelle seems to have it all , a loving husband, two beautiful daughters, & a fulfilling career. From the outside this idyllic existence is shattered by deeply disturbing dreams. These aren't just fleeting nightmares; they are vivid premonitions of a future where her love for her husband has turned to animosity and her daughters' lives are in danger. Unsettling things begin happening and Annabelle's dreams seem to come true. I loved the writing style, character development & multiple twists!

I would like to express my thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and NetGalley for their generosity in allowing me to read this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Pub date : June 17, 2025

This one hooked me from the start and kept me intrigued the whole way through!! This story is told from a couple points of view with a look into the main character’s past as well. Loved this one!!

What a twisty read that kept me hooked from beginning to end. While the story does require a little bit of suspension of disbelief, fans of Constantine’s style will eat this up like her other novels. I did see some of the twists coming but there were so many layers I was surprised multiple times within the novel.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.

The queens of plot twist are back! I have been hooked on this duo since the wife stalker. It is a thriller but also has a dash of other genres and I loved every moment of it. This has become my new fav by them.
