Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for my gifted copy.

I love all Liv Constantine's books, and this one was good, but it was not my favorite. I definitely think it is still worth the read, because you may love it.

Liv Constantine has been a go-to author for me and will continue to be so after her newest book. This has a lot of good twists some I didn't see coming at all and an almost supernatural element to it that worked well in the story. I enjoyed this book and will continue to recommend what she writes, 3/3.5 stars. I want to thank NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Bantam for the gifted digital ARC!

So... this one is tough for me to rate and review. I had to sit with it for about half a day after reading it to really get a solid idea how I felt about it. On the one hand, it was paced well and intriguing enough that it kept me turning pages, and I would ultimately say I binged this one. On the other hand, it had a *really* triggering storyline for me, and there was one aspect of the plot that I think needed to get expanded on further.

I won't include what triggered me in my NetGalley review, I will save that for Goodreads so I can wrap it in spoiler text.

At the end of the day, I think seasoned thriller readers will be pretty "meh" about this one, especially when compared to Constantine's previous books. Regardless, I won't hesitate to pick up whatever she comes up with next!

Don't Open Your Eyes pub date is June 17.

Licv Constantine, queen of the twists! I've loved Luv Constantine for a while - she's a go-to when the book club wants a thriller or you're recommending a solid read to a friend. This story flips between present day Annabel and and a younger version. Lots of family drama, eerie premonitions that come together to create a story that had me staying up at night to finish it. Loved the main character (and many others!) in this util the very last page. Thanks for the ARC - can't wait to recommend to my audience!

3.5 stars rounded up.

It took me a bit to get into this one, but I flew through the second half to get answers. Did I necessarily love or buy into the whole set up? Part yes, part no, but either way it kept me turning the pages at a rapid pace to find out what was going on.

The idea of dreams as premonitions is fascinating and lowkey a little terrifying. It was really interesting the way it was used here. I kept wondering which of the dreams would end up having been premonitions of some kind and how the situation would translate to the actual event playing out.

There were a lot of moving parts, timelines, and POVs in this one that, for me, made it somewhat challenging to follow more than it added to the intrigue. That said, it did make sense for the way the story was being told. I wish there had been a few more answers about some situations in the past because I have my own theories that I feel were hinted at but never confirmed.

Overall an entertaining read that kept me on my toes. Thank you to Bantam via NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was highly anticipating this book because I really enjoyed Liv Constantine’s previous books. This one lived up to the anticipation for me. I really loved that the main character was having dreams that were materializing in real life - I thought that was very interesting. I was definitely hooked from the start of this book and I’ll definitely be recommending it.

Annabelle’s dreams start becoming more like psychic visions which is freaking her out understandably. When her daughter is hit by a car while riding her bike, lots of secrets come out - some going back 16 years or more! This is a very unique storyline filled with mystery.

Annabelle seems to have a life most dream about. Great career, happily married to a doctor and two wonderful daughters. But when she begins to have terrifying dreams that begin to become more like premonitions, she does everything possible to try to change what is happening before the consequences become reality. Once again Liv Constantine has delivered a twisted psychological book with a wow ending. Thank you Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group for the EArc. This review is my opinion.

WOW! Best thriller I've read in a while! Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. SO GOOD! Run to read this one June 17!!!

I really liked this book. I was captivated by it from the beginning and had a heard time putting it down. I like the way the story was told from Annabelle and Scarlett’s points of view. I think they each brought a unique perspective to different parts of the story. This book felt more like a thriller to me than some of Liv Constantine’s other books. I do feel like I figured out some of the twists of the book before they happened but that did not change my enjoyment of the book at all. Overall, a very good and enjoyable read!

Don’t Open Your Eyes starts strong. The pacing is tight and the tension keeps the story moving. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen. Where it stumbles a bit is the final stretch. The plot gets a little too tangled, and some of the twists feel more rushed than satisfying. It doesn’t undo the good setup, but it does take the edge off the ending. Still, this is an engaging, fast-paced read that I enjoyed. Highly recommend!

2.5–3⭐️ Don’t Open Your Eyes is a popcorn-style thriller about Annabelle, a woman who starts having disturbing dreams that seem to predict a dark future—one where she hates her husband and her daughters are in danger. When pieces of her dreams start coming true, she’s forced to figure out how to stop them before it’s too late.

I really liked the premise but I wish some of the dreams were more vivid or detailed. It kind of felt like the author gave up on those halfway through. Some twists kept it interesting, but a lot felt predictable, and the writing wasn’t super polished. Readable, but not a standout for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts!

This book captured me from the start! I loved the storyline and overall plot. So many twists and turns that keeps you guessing and the way the reveals and truths were revealed really satisfies the readers. This was another great book by these authors and the perfect summer beach read or vacation read. Full of suspense, mystery and thrills I recommend it!

Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for an ARC.

Annabelle has a seemingly perfect life, a husband, 2 daughters, and a successful career. Suddenly she starts having dreams that start coming true, some with tragic outcomes. Annabelle will do everything she can to protect her family but she's not the only one keeping secrets.

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read that kept you wondering what was going on.

Wow, I was so hooked by the first few pages! This book follows Annabelle, main character who is experiencing very vivid dreams that seem to keep happening in real life. As Annabelle's dreams get darker and scarier, we learn more and more about her secrets of the past. I really enjoyed this book and the twists that were scattered throughout! There were a few times, the plot felt "too big" and complex, but everything tied together nicely.

A very interesting book with some twists and turns that you don't see coming... unless you're dreaming. The ending feels a little rushed but I loved the anticipation building up to the end.

Annabelle has a seemingly perfect life: great job, loving husband, wonderful daughters. When she starts having vivid dreams that her marriage is unhappy and her daughters are in danger, and fragments of those dreams start coming true, she is sufficiently spooked.

I enjoyed reading Don’t Open Your Eyes. It is mysterious, and I thought I was connecting dots while reading that didn’t end up actually connecting; it kept me guessing. The chapters are on the shorter side, and perspective shifts from Annabelle, to her daughter, to Annabelle in the past, and a mysterious character simply called “the Wife.” If you are looking for a quick summer thriller, this is a good bet.

3.5 stars

In this latest effort, Constantine delivers a solid summer read: not particularly complicated but delivering some suspense, mystery, and a ending that makes the experience worth the time.

Annabelle has two daughters, a husband whom I found instantly unlikeable but she seems pretty good with initially, and a successful career where she has just turned down a promotion in an effort to spend more time with her family. This goes awry when she gets a new client who demands more of her time both waking and asleep! On a related note, Annabelle's dreams play an integral role throughout. She finds that she is seemingly predicting the future. This goes on for quite a stretch, and I could have done without it. Is there some sort of psychic connection here, or is Annabelle simply becoming aware that the folks who externally seem sus are, in fact, sus (or at least participating in sus behavior)? I found this hard to care too much about over the course of the novel. Another challenge? Annabelle's relationship with her parents. There are many sections in which Annabelle recalls or the narrator elucidates details about Annabelle's mom's decline and her absent father's choices. It's not hard to figure out why this info is included, but for me, the payoff was not worth the time in this area. I'd have much rather gotten deeper into other characters' backstories (there are some interesting individuals here) than spent so much time on this.

Somewhat experienced readers may find that they too easily pick up on where this book is going earlier than they'd like; I did. I still enjoyed the journey and found the final outcomes to be more action packed than I anticipated, which helped bring back some of the thrill/mystery I anticipated.

While this one comes with some challenges, it's an entertaining read overall and should join you on the beach or a road trip at some point this summer.

2.5 stars

This entire book is super frustrating. The characters aren’t likable and everyone seems to be fighting. We never get a real reason for Annabelle’s random dreams. The twist just made me even more frustrated and sad. I also found the writing of this book to be not as great as the author’s other books.

I would not recommend this book. This is just not the author’s best work.

I've been a long time lover of this author duo, and they're certainly an auto-buy author for me. DON'T OPEN YOUR EYES lived up to my expectations for the most part, although there was one particular thing I didn't enjoy.

I really loved the overall plot, how it unfolded, and all of the double-crossing. While I was onto the truth, I wasn't exactly right! Despite many twists, the way the reveals were presented made sense. I only was left with a couple minor questions.

There was unfortunately a bit of deus ex machina that leaned a bit too close to a trope I hate. I wouldn't quite put this book in the surprise paranormal trope, but the dreams being used to solve the case was a bit much for me. I would have preferred a real-life explanation for WHY Annabel was having the dreams, instead of the dreams cracking the case and then magically stopping. If the authors had left the dream bit out entirely, this book would have been near perfect!
