Liv has done it again! They have a big hit on their hands again ! Thank you for the early access to this amazing book. Great job on the cover. It really catches my eye. Great concept of a story with the dreams.

If you can get past the unrealistic aspect of this it’s absolutely a page turner. It was very entertaining & I was never at a point where I was bored or didn’t want to pick up the book. Some of the twists were somewhat predictable but the ending/twist was surprising, unexpected & satisfying! I feel like it redeemed parts of the book & bumped it up to being 4 stars. Popcorn thriller yes, but it was not a bad book. The premise & direction it went was clever & I definitely didn’t expect how things tied together. So if you’re alright with it being extremely unrealistic (such as psychic/premonitions) I’d absolutely recommend giving it a chance. I genuinely enjoyed this book it kept my interest from start to finish ☺️

I went into this book expecting a typical thriller where I’d spend the whole time trying to figure out the “who done it.” But this one completely flipped the script—in the beginning, you don’t even know what was done, let alone who did it! The twists were wild, the plot was a total rollercoaster, and I genuinely had no idea what was coming next. It kept me guessing the whole way through. I highly recommend going into it blind like I did—you’ll enjoy the ride so much more. Five stars from me for delivering a thriller that actually surprised me!

WOW!! I read this one so quickly! It had me on my toes! There are multiple developing storylines as you continue reading, meaning it's hard to put this book down! I couldn't get enough and needed to know what happened next.
Annabelle has the perfect life. A devoted husband, two beautiful daughters, and a career she loves. But Annabelle starts having nightmares and certain details start to come true. And then the dreams start to show her daughter in danger. She is so scared and no one seems to believe her.
We have two different timelines of Annabelle's life. Before James and after James. Before James, she experienced extreme heartache and she can not handle those emotions again, especially if her daughter is in danger.
Liv Constantine is a must read author(s) for me and this one does not disappoint!

The past couple books by LC have been a hit and miss for me, however Don't Open Your Eyes has been a great read. While the dreams showing what will/can happen is a little out there, this didn't negatively impact the story. The different timeline jumps added to the story in how Annabell got to where she is today. There was some twists and surprises, nothing that really shocked me but was still good. Without giving more away, I would have liked to have more info on what happened to Randy later on in life. Story was a slow burn and the ending was somewhat all rushed together.

Thank you net galley for my copy!
I loved this book. I devoured this book. I didn’t expect any of the twists.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because for me it seemed like the ending dragged. It’s one of those books where every thing needs to be explained at the end so they cram it all in.
Still loved it though! One of my favorites this year.

3.5 rounded to 4 for GR! this was a lot of fun, deff my fave of hers since THE LAST MRS PARRISH.
the twists were surprising to me (and one was very savage lol!) and it was overall so quick and easy to binge which was exactly what i was looking for. kept me coming back to finish, which i did in 2 quick binge sittings!
deff an easy pool/beach read. more of a slow burn family drama mystery vs hardcore thriller. tbh it has soooooo much drama!!! the middle was getting a bit slow for me pacing wise, but the last 20% got super juicy and had numerous twists. for fans of Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena.
thanks to Random House for the gifted copy! deff a “grab” in my eyes!

This was interesting and a bit different than Constantine’s other novels as it had a supernaturally element to it. The multiple POVs and mystery wife worked well to keep the suspense high. I liked how Annabelle’s dreams were predictors of what was to come. However, some of the twists were a little too soapy for me and felt like they were added just to have more twists, especially towards the end of the book.

I received this book for review. I am a big Liv Constantine fan, so I was very excited to get her newest book for review. I love the way she tells a story. She has a knack for telling a compelling story that is not bogged down with descriptions and explanations. Liv has a way of letting the reader get to the point /conclusion without having to hold your hand the whole way. In my opinion, the way a book should be written. This is the story of Annabelle that appears to have a great life with a beautiful family and a fulfilling job. Then, the premonition dreams begin. Premonitions of not good things that lay in store! I loved everything about this story. I cant wait to

The beginning was a slow burn. Setting the plot up by understanding a caring wife who is having crazy dreams that eventually come into her reality. She tries her best to prevent the bad ones from occurring, but they are happening for a reason. Once you get about halfway through it really picks up and becomes a great read.

A Gripping, Twisty Thriller You Won’t Be Able to Put Down!
Don’t Open Your Eyes is the kind of psychological thriller that grabs you from the first chapter and refuses to let go. Liv Constantine delivers another masterclass in suspense, weaving a story full of secrets, betrayal, and jaw-dropping twists that kept me guessing until the final page.
The pacing was perfect—fast enough to keep me turning pages late into the night, but detailed enough to let me sink into the minds of the characters. I especially loved how the story plays with the idea of trust and perception—just when I thought I had it figured out, everything shifted again.
The alternating perspectives added so much depth, and the character development was excellent. You truly don’t know who to believe, and that sense of unease made the suspense even more intense. Liv Constantine does a phenomenal job of blurring the lines between victim and villain.

I really enjoyed this book just not as much as others I have read from this author. It did hold my interest but was a bit drawn at at times. Overall 4 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Don’t Open Your Eyes is a tense, twisty psychological thriller that hooks you from the very first dream and doesn’t let go. Liv Constantine delivers another addictive page-turner with a unique premise—what if your nightmares weren’t just dreams, but glimpses of a terrifying future?
Annabelle Reynolds is a strong, compelling protagonist with a seemingly perfect life that begins to unravel when her vivid, disturbing dreams start coming true. As reality and premonition blur, the suspense builds steadily, and you’re left questioning what’s real, what’s inevitable, and how much power Annabelle truly has to change her fate. The stakes rise sharply when her daughter’s life is threatened, and from there, it’s a breathless race to uncover the truth.
The character development—especially of Annabelle—is a standout, and Constantine’s knack for writing layered, believable women shines here. The plot twists were genuinely surprising and kept me guessing throughout. If anything, I was left wanting a bit more explanation behind the supernatural element of the dreams—but the gripping storytelling and emotional depth more than made up for it.
Overall, Don’t Open Your Eyes is a chilling, original thriller with a strong female lead, sharp twists, and just the right amount of eerie uncertainty. A must-read for fans of psychological suspense with a supernatural edge.

OBSESSED - Liv Constantine does it again! I couldn't put this book down, it had me hooked from day 1 and even if you thought you saw the twist coming, another one comes right for you. I was slightly confused with the twist at parts but the last 20% of the book had my jaw on the floor. Would recommend for anyone and everyone!

This was good! Not great…or at least not as great as LC’s other books. There was a lot to like. The twists. The dual timelines/multiple POVs. The surprise ending. But I couldn’t get past Anabelle’s dreams. I can suspend disbelief as much as the next gal but I was hoping for resolution at the end, perhaps in the form of an aha moment…and it just never came.
This is worth reading but I won’t be adding it to my favorites list.
3.8 rounded up to 4.

Don’t Open Your Eyes is an easy, fast-paced psychological thriller with an intriguing twist on the familiar husband-and-wife-secrets trope. The writing is smooth and straightforward, making it extremely readable. I flew through the pages, eager to see what would happen next.
What really sets it apart is the psychic dreams element. It adds a fresh spin to a genre where I have read many similar plots. While some of the secrets, affairs, and online dangers felt familiar, the dream angle was unique and helped keep me hooked.
I found Annabelle to be a sympathetic, layered character, and I was intrigued by the hints about her past love. Scarlett’s point of view also felt real in many ways, though at first her online naivety seemed hard to buy. It helped that the book later explained she thought she was talking to her brother, which made her trust more believable in context.
The pacing was one of the book’s biggest strengths. It never dragged and kept me engaged throughout. Even so, the ending fell a bit short for me. The resolution felt rushed and relied on long, expositional monologues to explain everything rather than letting it unfold naturally. I also finished not feeling entirely clear about all the details, which made the conclusion less satisfying.
Overall, this is a solid, enjoyable thriller that will keep you turning pages quickly. It did not hit five-star territory for me because it lacked the deep emotional impact and lasting effect I want from the best psychological thrillers, but I would still recommend it to readers looking for a fast, engaging read with a slightly different twist.

Always a fan of anything written by Liv Constantine and I devoured this in one sitting. Short chapters, beautifully paced and I was hooked from the very beginning! Thank you so much Netgalley for this copy!

This book had some interesting twists but it also left a lot of ends undone. I wanted to finish it so I could see what was going on, and I think the author did a good job of creating suspense.

Interesting story. When you think it is done not quite yet. The timeline jumps require you to pay attention. I did not know who was guilty until the very end.

A dream is a wish your heart makes when you’re fast asleep… or in Annabelle’s case more like a nightmare. Annabelle’s waking life seems perfect- married to a handsome doctor, two beautiful girls and a fulfilling career. But when she goes to sleep at night, scary scenarios plague her mind. No big deal right- until they start coming true. Can she trust her dreams or is it all just coincidence? Told in now and then chapters, Annabelle’s story unfolds in a way that will leave your jaw on the floor. I would have rated it higher had it not been for the spooky vibes making the thriller less grounded IMO. Real life is always scarier than magical vibes. Still a really good read though- and bonus points for being based in CT where I live. Always fun to see the home state represented.
