Wow this book has so many twists & turns, it took me a bit to keep up but every time I had to put it down to do life (boring I know) I couldn’t wait to read more. It’s part love, part horror, part thriller, part murder book but all the characters & stories for each one are brilliant & keep you wanting to find out what has happened to all. I was a bit emotional about parts of this book but it made it more special. It’s a complicated book but a bloody good one.

Thank you to the Author and Netgalley for this ARC! This book is just wow! So many twists and turns!! From Elliot’s wild ride, to Giselles. I cant believe Giselle wasnt actually who it said she was! Totally did not see that twist coming at all!! I would have preferred if the Ansa chapter was left out though since it was only one 2 page chapter. There was definitely a lot going on in this book. Between around 6 characters POV’s. Definitely have to pay attention but it was so good in the end! I will be thinking about this one for a long time!!

Although Annie has steadfastly avoided returning home to the town of Ridgewater for many years now, circumstances have now compelled her to change that decision.

The problem is, she is still haunted by the events that took place there over a decade ago, culminating in the death of her best friend Giselle.

Returning home means Annie must contend with the obsessive grief of Giselle's mother, as well as the questions she struggles with over the events of that time. Will this return home provide Annie with any of the answers that she needs? And does she even want to know the truth if it implicates those closest to her?

A gripping story, skillfully delivered, this one is definitely worth checking out. It gets 3.5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC. That was absolutely diabolical. If you think you have it figured out, no you don’t! I read most of it in one day. Too bad work gets in the way, I could hardly put this book down. If you’re looking for a thriller, this is it. Well done Amanda Brittany….well done.

This book is hands down one of the BEST mystery books I have ever read! It is a must-read for any mystery lover!

Murders,...dark secrets...emotional rollercoaster....twists,,,and turns. This book has all the characteristics needed to embody a great psychological thriller. IT HAS IT ALL!!!

A doctor's brother has suffered a terrible accident. He is now in a situation where he is unable to speak to tell anyone what has happened. However, this happened to the doctor's friend 12 years prior. Coincidence or not? You will have to read to find out!!

The characters were awesome and full of personality. They held my attention throughout the whole read, which by the way, was a quick one. The story transitioned well and had the perfect timing when doing so.

I gave this book 5 stars and that is something I do not give out frequently. This is an absolute MUST READ for anyone that enjoys a good mystery thrill.

Thank you NetGalley , author, and publisher, for the eArc!

Buried secrets are coming to the surface.

Its been a long time, this is identical to her friend Giselles that led to her death twelve years ago.
Leaving London behind and her job as a doctor at the hospital, she returns to fairy cottage in Ridgewater Devon and is shocked by the seriousness of his condition. Why didn't her mother pick up the phone instead of a letter?
One creepy read, Let me out has got all the grips and feelings in every single chapter.
Mind-blowing and my kind of read.
I loved it.

This is such a brilliant read, it kept me hooked from the start! The characters were really well written and I loved the different narratives. The plot was twisty and interesting and I really enjoyed it.

'Let Me Out' by Amanda Brittany really had me hooked! This is an excellent psychological thriller and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I loved the character development and following the intertwining stories, the different POVs helped to deepen the plot. There were many twists and turns, when I thought I had guessed what would happen, another surprise was revealed. Everything tied together really well at the end when all of the answers were revealed. I struggled to put the book down and felt like it flowed perfectly. I'd definitely recommend this book, keep an eye out on the 29th June!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this book. This was an outstanding read! It pulled me out of the biggest reading slump I've had in a very long time. The characters were crazy and well done but the story was amazing! So many twists and turns that I did not see coming. Highly highly recommend

This book is a must read! I could not put it down. The suspense is overflowing and an ending you won’t see coming. I thought I had this book figured out but to my delight I was not even close. The author did a great job with character development. Each character is easy to identify with and pulls you in deeper. Each sentence draws you in deeper. This psychological thriller is one that will have you on the edge of your seat. Thank you to the author, Amanda Brittany, for this 5 star read.

Returning to her childhood home after suffering burnout and depression due to her highly stressful role as a doctor, Annie has no idea just what she is letting herself in for. Yes, Elliot, her much loved brother, is in some kind of Psychological Paralysis due to a fall off the local cliffs, and Florence, Annie’s mother is still talking to the fairies at the bottom of the garden, but what the community is about to discover amazes and shocks them all.

Another entertaining book from this author, and I think her best so far. The writing was fast paced and the suspense was well built. A bit of a mad reveal, but still entertaining enough to keep me engaged.

Plenty of twists and turns, with some more unexpected than others!

3.5*

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books.

This is a book that leaves you wanting more. Fast paced dramatic writing about a small coastal village and the past history of its inhabitants.
Childhood memories are not all they seem to be with some startling revelations towards the end.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book.

A brother who mysteriously fell off a cliff and cannot speak with lots of underlying mysteries all intertwined? Sign me up. I really enjoyed this book and loved all of the characters. I can find this many characters can be confusing, but I like how the author was able to present them individually and then weave their stories together at the end. I did find this book a little difficult to get into, but couldn't stop after the first half. Overall, I definitely recommend!

this is a very addictive read. Annie left her hometown moved to London and became a doctor but with the stress of the job has had a breakdown she has never wanted to go back home. she had a schoolfriend Natalie but never kept in contact and her other friend and neighbour died. she has never wanted to go back home. but she gets a letter of her mother her brother Elliot has had a fall .so she goes home. won't say no more but this story is just so good.

Twelve years after her best friend Giselle died in a tragic accident, Annie returns to Ridgewater after her brother suffers a similar and mysterious accident.
But something darker still lingers in the town. With old friends haunted by the past and of another missing girl, Annie begins to suspect her family’s secrets run deeper than she ever imagined and someone will do anything to keep them buried.

Wow, what a wild ride! This book was gripping from the very start, with a chilling atmosphere and perfectly paced tension. As the story unfolded, the chapters ended on a cliffhanger, keeping me guessing (and second guessing) all the way through. The twist completely floored me! The plot was not only addictive but genuinely thought-provoking, and I couldn’t rest until I knew the truth. I also loved the short, punchy chapters that made it so easy to fly through. Amanda Brittany has done it again and absolutely deserving of a full 5 stars.

Thank you to Amanda Brittany, Boldwood Books & NetGalley for an ARC

Wow!!! Just wow!!! Everytime I thought this was coming to an end there was more. So many creepy twists. Left me wanting more. Thank you so much for the pre read 😊

This is the first book I've read of Amanda Brittany and it won't be the last so many twists and turns I couldn't put this book down it was absolutely fantastic.

Review of ‘Let Me Out’ by Amanda Brittany due to be published on 29 June 2025 by Boldwood Books.

Annie, a doctor who is struggling with depression due to the pressures at work, is called back to her family home, Ridgeway, after she receives a letter from her mum saying her brother, Elliot, has had an accident. She discovers this happened 6 weeks prior, with Elliot having fallen off a cliff, and although uninjured, he is paralysed and can’t speak.

The circumstances are eerily similar to an accident her childhood friend, Giselle, had twelve years ago. Add in a former friend, Natalie, who confides in Annie that she was attacked and Kerry whose sister, Fi, disappeared twelve years ago, resulting in them searching for answers of who is to blame.

The storyline cleverly sets up lots of possible suspects to something more sinister having occurred, twists and turns galore lead to an ending that was totally unexpected!

Recommended read.

This book was superb. Though the real high point was how Ridgewater was the very best character. I didn’t feel comfortable there..and I was just reading. It takes huge talent to write a location that feels so creepy and untrustworthy but this was done incredibly here.

A novel for those who want to immerse themselves in a book with excellent pacing and with an ending that surprised me.
