Well written drama.
A fast paced storyline which i raced through.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

3 stars.

Some thoughts:

- The premise of this absolutely sucked me in and I enjoyed the overall story. I liked the duel pov with the unknown 3rd pov thrown in as well. It definitely makes you question who it was and what was happening.

- I enjoyed the authors writing style. It made it easy to read, nothing felt overly complicated to understand and for a thriller it kept my attention.

- I do think the big ‘twist’ or reveal was pretty obvious, quite early on. Just based on the things we’re told about the characters. However, I was intrigued to see how it would all play out in the end.

- As far as unhinged characters bee definitely ticked all the boxes.

- I disliked all the men in this book. Not one had anything redeemable about him.

- This did feel messy at points. Whilst some things really added to the plot, there were a lot of things that actually had no relevance and were just thrown in for the sake of it. E.g. the stuff with the art dealer felt really unnecessary and didn’t actually link back to Lynda in the way I thought it would. It was left just open ended and therefore, I don’t really understand what the point of it was. I was left with a sense that some things could have been better explained which maybe would have led me to a higher rating.

Overall, this didn’t blow me away in any sense but it was enjoyable for an easy, quick thriller read. I definitely think this author is one to keep on watching and I’ll be looking out for more in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley and Joffe Books for this ARC!

The social media trope in thrillers is one of my favourite things, so of course I had to take the chance to read this book. The story shows again that what we see in instagram or tiktok is never everything. Often, it is not even the truth.

It was a really good read, told in the POV of Frankie - an influencer with a lot of followers, whon seems to have just the perfect life - Bee, who has a more exhausting and surely not glamorous life, and a thirdn POV inbetween telling us something about what happened in Folkestone in the past.

The book has everything I want - a lot of twists and turns, a fast pace, and the short chapters I do usually prefer when reading. All in all, highly recommended!

I loved this book and while I did have a few things I didn’t love, it’s still a 5 star read for me. Addictive, the books was throughly addictive, I read it in one day and it got better and better

As each chapter closes out you’re left feeling differently about each of the characters. The main character, Bee is quite unlikeable and I didn’t care for her.

Each time you thought you knew what was happening, surprise! You’re wrong. The ending was left a little bit open ended but wasn’t satisfying and I don’t feel I’d need to read a follow up but this one was perfect.

The perfect mystery/thriller.

Review of ‘I Let Her In’ by Sophia Spiers, due to be published on 1 May by Joffe Books.

What a read! Brilliant book full of suspense, intrigue and mystery.

Each chapter changes your mind about how you think about certain characters, you think you know what’s coming, but then it twists to something unexpected and surprising. Told from three different points of view, with one of them intentionally unclear on whose memory it is recalling.

I’d not read any of Sophie’s books previously, but this will definitely not be the last.

Highly recommended read.

Thank you Joffe Books and NetGalley for an early copy of I Let Her In. This was a fast read, I felt very sorry for the main character, her story was tragic. She was a whack job but now I know why. When it all came together, it was terribly sad. Be prepared to NOT like any of the male characters, they were users and also useless.

She thinks she knows me. It’s all a lie. She has no idea what the truth really is . . . I let my fans think they know every detail of my life. My Instagram page is carefully curated for my 800,000 followers: my latest manicure, behind the scenes content from my yoga studio and gifted collabs from the hottest brands. It all looks so glamorous. But they don’t see the other side the vicious messages and anonymous threats. They only see what I want them to see. Great read! Wow! Chilling thriller just like! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! It had shocking suspense, murder, mystery, gaslighting, and a few wild twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and Joffe books for sharing this book with me!

Frankie is an infuencer with a vapid life and addicted to likes. She's in a situationship with Stefan who probably likes her better than she does him and who she refers to as her "secret lover". Frankie also relies on her best friend Lynda for emotional support, and together they're in some sort of toxic friendship triangle with Grace. Frankie is the creator of Pilaga, a new exercise craze, and is becoming more and more famous thanks to it. Oh, and she also gets the odd threatening message from an anonymous account here and there. She's incredibly protective of her past, although at the same time she's open about coming from nothing and going down the wrong path until she found meaning in work. So what is she hiding exactly?

Bee is one of Frankie's followers. She had to fight her way through life and both admires and resents Frankie's perfect life. She laments her ex-best friend Charlotte, whose dad won the lottery and moved the family from Folkestone to London. Now Bee is also moving to London with the hopes of seeing what Frankie's life is all about and meeting her. Bee shows up at Charlotte's, asking to crash at her place for a couple of nights, to which she agrees. Bee stays in Charlotte's housemate Taffy's room. Taffy dislikes Bee because she's sure Bee stole her top the last time she stayed. Bee denies it, but she stole from her deceased mum once, so... Is Bee as unhinged as she sounds? And then, the unthinkable happens. She sees an advert of a cleaning job at Frankie's Pilaga studio so she goes in and asks for it. Is Frankie making the worst mistake in her life?

Back then, a third POV tells us about something that happened in Folkestone that would shape her life forever...

This was an incredible read! I finished in one sitting. I thought I had the twist right, but it was way more shocking!! The ending was diabolical. A solid 5-star!

WOW! WOW! WOW! A top-notch, suspenseful thriller with many twists and turns and an ending you won’t see coming!

I read it in twelve hours I could not put it down! It’s definitely a must- read! From the first to the last page, it was captivating and I could not look away for a second. I was completely engrossed from start to finish!

The pace is quick and relentless, and the plotting is flawless. By far the easiest 5 stars I've given this year! I’d highly recommend! This is the first book I’ve read from this author and it won’t be the last!

Huge ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars from me!
