Another Liv Constantine book that was so fun, so well done, riveting and one that I HAD to finish before resuming real life.
The dream element was truly such a trip in the best way. I absolutely LOVED the twist at the end.

Highly recommend! If you like Constantine’s prior books, you will love this too!

A thriller that keeps you guessing up until the very end! I love this author and every book is always full of twists and turns! I highly recommend this book for the readers that love suspenseful books!

Liv Constantine is one of my favorite authors. In fact, the name is a pen name for sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine. I was thrilled to receive early access to their upcoming book, Don't Open Your Eyes, which is set to be released on June 17, 2025. I love how their books always keep me guessing! Just when you think you have it all figured out—boom, another twist! This one definitely delivered! I highly recommend it!

DONT OPEN YOUR EYES was a quick domestic thriller with multiple POVs. I found the dream aspect to be a bit off and unbeatable and the twists weren’t terribly shocking, imo.

If you’re looking for a Liv Constantine book I’d recommend either THE LAST MRS PARRISH or THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR.

Thank you Netgalley and Bantam for the arc!

Thank you, NetGalley, for this ebook ARC of 'Don't Open Your Eyes" by Liv Constantine - expected release date of 06/17/2025.

ARC was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't even bother reading the summary for this ARC before I requested it, I've read 6 other of their books and I knew whatever was in it, I'd be entertained. This one DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Just when I thought something was explained enough and I had things figured out, boom, another twist, turn. I didn't know what was going to come next. All the things that happened were so preposterous and wouldn't happen in real life but man, the writing was so good that I didn't even care. I wanted to see where this ended up. Another great book by the Constantine sisters, keep em coming.

I absolutely love Liv Constantine books. This one did not disappoint. A great mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting to find out what happened next!

The pacing in this was solid, but it felt a little disjointed by the end. The motives of the villains didn’t feel well enough established; I think we would’ve benefitted from knowing the crime upfront versus it being a “twist.”

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Love Love Love Liz Constantine's books. This one did not disappoint and I started and finished in the same day. A fast paced page turner that I could not put down for a minute.. Will certainly be a beach read this summer!

I have loved all of this author’s books I’ve read and this book is no exception! I loved the multiple points of view and learning how they all connected. It is a crazy twisted story about a supposedly happy family. Annabelle is married to James and they have two daughters but soon Annabelle starts having prophetic dreams. This was a page turner from the beginning and I highly recommend it!!

I'm a longtime fan of Liv Constantine! I've read all of their books-The Wife Stalker remains one of my favorite thrillers of all time. And I SO enjoyed their upcoming book, Don't Open Your Eyes. This book has all their signature high-stakes domestic drama and mind-blowing twists, but this book also had a super fun new element, a main character with nightmarish visions of the future that start coming true! Out on 06/17; thriller readers will definitely want this one on their lists for the year!

Exactly the twisty domestic thriller that I expect from Liv Constantine. Just when you have it figured out another curve ball is sent. Don’t Open Your Eyes is a quick read that will not disappoint domestic thriller fans.

Couldn’t put it down! A domestic suspense about a mother who starts having premonition-like dreams that her daughter is in danger. The plot got a little wild, but the author did a good job with the twists and pulling everything together.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

Don’t Open Your Eyes was a fast paced read. Annabelle is a mother who is having dreams that elude to some truths in her life. The dreams become warnings of events to come true. She is trying to understand how this is possible while keeping her family safe. Annabelle is feeling uncertainty about her marriage and begins to question everything This book is filled with twists and when you think you figured out who the villain is.. you are shocked!

LOVE this author! It was told from 4 different perspectives, and at first I was worried it would be a problem, but it all turned out ok in the end. I knew something was "wrong" but I could not predict where or who or why. It was a good read overall!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars

After loving The Last Mrs. Parrish, I had high expectations for Don't Open Your Eyes—and Liv Constantine did not disappoint! This book is an absolute thrill ride from start to finish, filled with jaw-dropping twists, devious characters, and a sinister atmosphere that kept me glued to the pages.

The psychological tension is masterfully crafted, making me question every character’s motives and second-guess what I thought I knew. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, another twist would completely upend my expectations. The pacing is relentless, the writing is sharp, and the story had me hooked until the very last page.

If you love dark, twisty psychological thrillers with strong, manipulative characters and shocking reveals, Don't Open Your Eyes is a must-read. Liv Constantine has done it again! Highly recommend!

This was a real intense book – it had my anxiety up for the most part while reading it. But I could not put it down. Especially when … I loved the book from the start – the crazy twists will have your mind whirling – such a great read! Thank you for the ARC Net Galley #Don’tOpenYourEyes #LivConstantine #NetGalley

Don’t Open Your Eyes
Publishing date 06/17/25
Rating (5/5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House - Ballantine Books for this e-ARC! Amazing!!!! Author duo Liv Constantine NEVER disappoints!

Synopsis - Don’t Open Your Eyes follows Annabelle, a mother with a seemingly perfect life—she’s married to a doctor and has two healthy, beautiful daughters. But suddenly, she starts having vivid dreams where terrible things happen… and then they start coming true.

This was a page turner! It hooked me from page one and I couldn’t stop! I love a thriller with multiple POVs, and I really enjoyed the pacing throughout the book. This one is right up there with Mrs. Parrish series for me. Highly recommend this one when it releases this summer.

Don't Open Your Eyes is a deliciously twisted thriller. As she juggles her busy work life (social media marketing) and home life (husband James, daughters Scarlett and Olivia), Annabelle starts having troubling dreams - dreams that seem to be coming true. Is Annabelle really having dreams about the future, or is it all just a coincidence? Can she keep her family safe? Is the past about to catch up with her? The novel alternates between past and present and among several different voices, which deftly adds to the psychological torture.

This was a page turner!! It hooked me from page one and I couldn’t stop!

This is told from multiple POV’s (Annabelle, Scarlett, and the wife). Annabelle keeps having terrible dreams. When some of them start to come true, she becomes more and more paranoid and protective over her children. Annabelle continues to struggle to tell which of her dreams are her anxiety and which may come true. When Annabelle dreams something terrible may happen to her daughter Scarlett, she subsequently uncovers a heartbreaking truth about her past.

This was so addictive! I didn’t want to go to sleep because the story was so compelling! I loved the different POV’s, especially the one from The Wife. Her chapters were so short and mysterious and my mind was racing trying to figure out how it played into the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for this e-book in exchange for this honest review.

At first, she dismisses them as mere nightmares. But when details from her dreams start manifesting in real life, Annabelle realizes she isn’t just imagining things—she is seeing glimpses of a terrifying future. And then comes the most horrifying vision of all: someone wants her daughter Scarlett dead. Now, every choice Annabelle makes feels like a step toward or away from disaster.
