I understand that we were being shown just how destructive a single person was, but there were WAY too many characters and storylines going in this book for it to be effective for me. I chose to do this one on audio and was lost 90% of the book. I would have needed a damn map of characters and timelines for this to make sense in the way I wanted it to. I would have dnfd had I not used an audible credit

What a massive disappointment this was, it was just so unoriginal. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Don’t Let Him In – Lisa Jewell

This book was exactly what I needed to break out of a reading slump. Gripping from the very first page, Lisa Jewell weaves tension, mystery, and character dynamics so well that I found myself completely hooked. The pacing was perfect—no dragging, just twist after twist that kept me saying “one more chapter”.

The emotional impact was real—especially the hatred I felt for the main character!  

A perfect, binge-worthy thriller that reminds me why I love reading in the first place.

This book was so good!! It took me a little while to grasp the different characters/timelines but once it all came together, I could not put it down. I loved this book and want a sequel!!
