This is a new author to me but I was intrigued by the premise. I found it slow going at first but I was soon engrossed and really wanted to find out what Michael's secrets were.

The positives are that the pacing was good and the storyline held my interest for the duration. I also thought the chacters were well fleshed out and you could really feel Jenny's pain and confusion.

I did find the writing a little clunky at times - the dialogue, especially in the first few chapters didn't feel natural and there was a lot of repetition in the writing, there were a few instances where we were told the same thing twice in the same paragraph.

There were some loose ends that I would have liked to be tied up at the end like the whole Victoria thing. Was Gary's wife Victoria? If not then the whole Facebook thread with her was a bit random. I would also have liked to have known what Jenny was going to do with the financial mess that Michael left her in since that was a large part of the plot.

Overall I did enjoy this novel but there was definite room for improvement.

This is the first read I have read by this author. However, I highly doubt it will be the last. I do love a good thriller book and this has really kept me engaged throughout reading this one. I was attracted by the synopsis of this one and I haven't been disappointed. The author has made me want to keep reading this one from the very first chapters, although I do feel that the book lowed down slightly in the middle. The book is filled with likeable yet complicated characters, some of whom do make you suspicious as a reader.The book is told from multiple points of view, which is often nice as you really get a feel for the individual characters. This has been a quick and easy read which I haven't wanted to put down. The author is extremely talented and I have been completely engaged by this one.

This is a strong four star read for me.

This book was a quick and easy read. While it wasn't a bad story, it did not have any surprises or twists. The story was quite predictable.

I think the idea behind the book was great but it just needed a slightly better execution.

Thank You to NetGalley and Hera Books for this ARC!

A strong start but had a mediocre midsection. I found it dragged a bit and was a bit annoying at times. A middle of the road read for me.

This book didn't really hold any surprises for me.
I found the conversations stilted and awkward.
There were a few moments were it perked up,and that's what kept me reading to the end,so that's a definite positive.
It was ok.

Thank you to NetGalley for this advanced copy.
I had a hard time with this book - I just couldn’t engage with the characters
And found the story slow and a bit dull.

I did enjoy this book and was gripped, but a lot of the dialogue was repeated. I found it a simple and easy read. If you're looking for something easy then I would reccomenedd this. The chapters are in the view of each character.

Jenny, her husband, Michael and their son Daniel seem to have the perfect life. Then Michael is run down in a parking lot. He dies, but he does not die alone e. A kind witness is with him till the very end. Gary. Gary was their to listen to his last words and to be made as comfortable as possible.

She's also obsessed with the fact that her husband was not wearing his wedding ring. She knew for a fact that he never took off that ring. Jenny falls further into depression when she discovers that that the mortgage is past due and they owe thousands of pounds on their credit card bills. He didn't have life insurance and she will have to borrow money from his parents to have his body cremated. The o ly thing that brings her some solace is listening to his last moments from Gary. As the other twists and turns you discover that you are in for the ride of your life. Jenny can't trust anyone. Especially those closest to her.

Sorry, this one wasn't for me. Struggled to finish it. It's a relatively quick and easy read but I felt there was a bit too much backstory for each character and the plot was flimsy and predictable.

This one was just okay. I didn't love the writing and for some reason found it irritating that Jenny was constantly calling her mother-in-law "Mum". It had a strong beginning but got a bit boring in the middle. It was pretty predictable as far as plot.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

You Let Him In was a bit of a mixed bag for me.

It’s the story of Michael and Jenny. Married for 3 years living with their 3 year old son.
Michael is killed in a bit and run whilst attending a business meeting. Only after his death does Jenny learn that Michael has been keeping many secrets from her that will affect her and her son’s lives forever.

I was looking forward to reading this book from the synopsis and the first few chapters certainly kept me eager to keep reading. In the middle of the book nothing much seemed to happen to keep me, as a reader, hooked. I know that it was necessary for the story but it felt like a book of two halves.
The ending was ok, if not a little predictable. What I did like was the epilogue from Michael to tie up all of the loose ends.
I haven’t read a book by this author before, and whilst I won’t be rushing to see what else they have written I wouldn’t rule one out.

Thank you to the Author, Publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
