Another banger from Lisa Jewell! I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review, so here it is.
In Don’t Let Him In, Ash Swann’s life is turned upside down when her father is killed one evening coming home from work. Her life becomes even more unsettled when her mom begins dating a man, Nick, who claimed to know her father back in their youth. Ash is confused and hurt that her mother would start dating so quickly and that every day feels like it is inching her closer to having a new stepdad. Ash begins to suspect that Nick isn’t the world’s most perfect boyfriend, and as she starts to dig deeper, interconnected lives and lies start to surface.
Overall Don’t Let Him In is a solid 4/5 stars for me. The twists, turns and u reliable narrators worked perfectly! Jewell has SUCH a talent for crafting thrillers that hook you and keep you engaged from page one. Was I able to guess all the twists correctly? Sure. Did it detract from the experience of reading this book? Not at all. I would totally recommend this book to anyone who wants something quick, engrossing and thrilling to read.
