Reviews

Character you will enjoy hating.

"If you live to hate characters you will love this read."

— Shelley H. (5/5)

A Chilling Page-Turner You Won’t Forget

"Don’t Let Him In had me hooked from the first page. It’s eerie in the best way possible. every chapter peels back a new layer of tension until you’re second-guessing everyone. The writing is sharp, the pacing relentless, and the ending left me staring at the wall for a good minute. A solid, chilling read for anyone who loves psychological thrillers."

— Riddhi T. (5/5)

Great read for modern times

"A fan of LJ books, this was one of her best! It’s current, relevant and can totally serve as a warning to people. Without giving spoilers, a middle aged man charms his way into the lives of several women, with the intent of swindling them out of copious amounts of money. All the lies make for some suspicious people and a this an armchair investigation ensues. Can easily serve as a cautionary tale for lonely people who are nervous when someone who appears too good to be true shows up in their life."

You'll Hate Him - And That's the Point.

"When a villain makes you feel this much hate, you know the author has done their job well. I finished Don’t Let Him In, and I did like it. The suspense and pacing were good, and I was entertained from start to finish. But the real story here is the villain. Seriously, he is the most revolting character I have ever read! He got under my skin in a major way. As a woman, the things he said made me feel so self conscious at times. His manipulations felt so disturbingly real that the entire time I was reading, I couldn't believe how so many intelligent women could fall for his garbage! I was desperately rooting for Ash to get the evidence she needed to take him down! I’d say it’s a pretty gripping 4-star read. Would recommend."

— CStacey (4/5)

Don't let Him in

"Although it was a decent read, I was disappointed in the novel. I kept waiting for the twists to happen, or some big reveal to blow my mind and not see coming, but it never happened. Everything that did happen was pretty predictable. What keeps you reading is wanting justice for the victims in the novels."

— Emily M. (3/5)

Lisa Jewell's latest thriller Don't Let Him In.

"An awesome thriller by Lisa Jewell. She builds characters so cleverly. Hard to put the book down. She's so good at weaving the twists and turns of the story."

— K. B. (5/5)

It has everything you look for in a 'can't put it down' read.

"I was in the mood for a good, twisty, tension filled novel and I found it in this book. It's the kind of book you can't wait to get back to."

— Writer11 (5/5)

Most boring

"Most boring novel of hers I have read. Drags on forever, stick figure characters so it's hard to remember whi is who. Very trite situation."

— Bev76 (1/5)

Great

"Don't Let Him In is a chilling domestic thriller that showcases Lisa Jewell’s talent for suspense and character development. While some elements may feel familiar to long-time fans, the emotional intensity and psychological depth make it a worthwhile read for thriller enthusiasts."

— Stargirl820 (5/5)

Kept me interested

"I found the book somewhat interesting. It was a little confusing at times since there were so many characters to keep track of, so you really had to pay attention. But overall, it kept me engaged from start to finish."

— Jlynn (3/5)
