A fast paced thriller that made me wonder about everyone, who did it?
A realistic but almost quaint setting set the scene for a claustrophobic whodunnit with well written characters and plenty of back story.
I couldn’t work out who the bad guy was due to all the unexpected twists and the end when it came was a bit of a shock, something I did not see coming.
Original and exciting, I will read more from this Author.

What an engaging read. I was a little confused at the start where it was going, but when it did I could not put it down. It was full of suspects, as just as you discounted them, their actions made you suspect them again. The plot twisted and turned like a corkscrew and the ending was more than ‘left field’. I would be amazed if any reader managed to completely predict the ending. I will now add Amanda Brittany’s books on my authors to look out for list.

This was my first book by Amanda Brittany, and I’ll definitely be checking out her others. I read a lot of thrillers and usually figure them out early on, but this one genuinely surprised me. The twists completely caught me off guard (like, gasp-and-hands-on-top-of-my-head surprised), and I never felt bored or stuck.

At first, the different storylines threw me off a little...I wasn’t sure how they were connected. But when it all came together, it worked. I’ve been in a bit of a slump with thrillers lately, and this one pulled me right out of it. Easy to read, fast-paced, and kept me guessing the whole time.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this ARC!

This book is one you won't be able to put down. There are so many twists and turns. There is a surprise ending also.

I was not expecting that ending. I genuinely suspected everyone at one stage and had no idea how everything was going to link together, but it did so perfectly.

Fast paced and easy to follow. I felt like I could understand and emphasise with the characters easily.

I devoured this in one sitting because the plot was so good. Would definitely recommend.


A very fast paced thriller of a novel from Amanda Brittaney. I found it easy to emphasise with the characters and the plot was so good, I stayed up late into the night to finish it. Highly recommended.

When Annie's brother Elliot has an accident, she doesn't really connect it to what happened to her friend Giselle.

Elliot is now paralyzed and unable to talkso Annie dedicates her time to him. Her friends death is a mystery so as the story evolves it turns into a really clever read.

I loved how the story unfolded and the author at times got me excited. I felt the ending was sudden but that said I enjoyed my reading time and I can't wait for the authors next book.

What a ride! This book had me hooked from the beginning and didn’t let me go. I kept saying one more chapter and I’ll stop, but that resulted in me sitting here all day and devouring this story. The author did a fantastic job leaving you wanting more after each chapter.

The story centers around Annie who comes home after her brother Elliot has an accident. What really happened to Elliot who is now paralyzed and unable to talk? Then there is the mystery of her friend Gisele’s death all those years ago. The story keeps you guessing all the way through as the author weaves the past and present together to tell not one, but several compelling mysteries. I never saw the major twist coming and don’t believe you will either.

The only thing that didn’t make it 5 stars for me was there was a lot to keep track of. While interesting, I found myself having to reread parts of the book to keep it all straight and the ending though unpredictable felt perhaps a little rushed and not entirely flushed out.

However, I still highly recommend this book as it’s the fastest I have read a book in quite some time. Keeping my interest is not always easy and Amanda Brittany definitely delivers!

Amanda Brittany’s latest novel Let Me Out is one crazy psychological thriller that had me guessing until the end. Told from different POV from different characters with flashbacks making this story ultra-intense and interesting. Secrets always have a way of coming back, there are so many in this book. This is one mystery that will have you on the edge of your seat.

When Annie leaves her hometown of Ridgewater she vows to never return. She focuses all her time becoming a doctor. when she gets a letter from her semi-estranged mother that her brother had a terrible accident she is forced to return. Secrets of the past are brought back to life and what happened to Annie's best friend at the age of 11 is uncovered- nothing is what it seems. overall the book was good- it kept me engaged but overall it was a little predictable.

i love it when a book almost manages to give you actual shivers.this book did that and a few characters and a certain house next door certainly made me feel them lurking.
it seemed like everyone in this book could have their own book. they were all keeping something inside. but then i thought, arent we all from those we dont know. but ok, not like something of the things this set of people were keeping quiet about.
ive got to admit when things started coming out i was wishing Annie to flee! or why would she come home in the first place. then again how could she not her brother was injured in the same way her friend died. and turns out another had gone missing at that time too!
but shes coming home for more than just her brothers sake. but this also mean facing a past that she needed to leave behind so much at the time.
i felt the atmosphere throughout this book. it was daring but seemed to fit perfectly together. there was no inconsistencies and it was dark but never seemed a over reach to the plot.
and it managed to make me care for Annie more than i usually do for people featured in this genre. she just seemed like a really good,genuine woman needing to do right and care for people was just in her nature.
i loved how Amanda gave me so many questions and questions in the suspects too. she left me each part or chapter thinking "oh so did you...?" or " hmm what was that?"
the final pay off was so much better than i thought it could ever be. and my suspicions new nothing of the brilliance to come. this book by Amanda is just stunning. fantastic writing mixed with fantastic plot.

Annie, a medical doctor from London, receives a call from her mother who still lives in her childhood home in Ridgewater. Elliott, her older brother, who has been living in the Scottish Highlands for the last twelve years, has been in an accident.
He is paralyzed and hasn’t spoken a word since he was found at the foot of a cliff at Ridgewater Cove.
Fairy Cottage is her mother’s home, the only other property closed by is Sycamore House, who Annie believes looks like something out of a scary movie. There, used to live her friend, Giselle, until she died at the age of twelve. A homeschooled recluse girl who her mother believed she had a medical condition with sun exposure.
Kerry Brewster, from Sidney, comes to the area to look for her sister Fiona, who went missing twelve years ago and she discovers the last place she visited in her European tour is Ridgewater.
Let Me Out is a complex book that intertwines many stories of the people from the small town. Most of them keep dark secrets that will unravel in the jaw-dropping ending. The stories go back and forth but as complex as it is with many characters, you will never get confused. It’s a well crafted work and the best part is the atmosphere. Joan’s house is frightening.
Thanks to the author, Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the advanced copy.

Reading through some of the other reviews, I think I might be in the minority on this one. I thought this was a decent read but for me I think it had so many mysteries and plot lines that none of them were developed enough to be really gripping. I do think the ending wrapped things up nicely and some of the reveals surprised me. If you are a thriller fan I would still recommend checking this one out.

Thanks to Boldwood Books, Amanda Brittany and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This was a twisty thriller, there is alot of different years in this book and it was easy enough to follow. The plot was good and really liked the twists at the end. The book is full of secrets, lies and hidden truths that go back years. Annie returns to her hometown after any years, her best friend died and she couldn’t cope. Now back facing similar problems as her brother was found in a similar situation, but he’s barely alive. It’s a quick read that keeps you guessing. A 4 star read. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

Many thanks to netgalley, the author and Boldwood books for approving my request to read this book.

For me this book was an absolute belter, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! I loved the creepiness factor in this book which is something I always enjoy in a good read. The plot was built up brilliantly throughout and the big reveal was excellently executed-for once I didn't see it coming and the various twists certainly kept me on my toes.

This book is an absolute must read for psychological thriller fans, trust me you won't want to miss it!

This book was quite the page turning. Annie finds out that her brother, Elliot is really injured. This leads her back home for the first time in over a decade to a place that is full of so many secrets. There are so many questions that you want answered as you read the book. I devoured this book so fast. Thank you Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the early access to read it. It was an amazing read!

If you love thrillers that keep you guessing until the final page, Let Me Out is a must-read. The story starts off a little slow as it sets the scene, but once it kicks in, it’s packed with twists, tension, and layered mysteries. At one point, I genuinely suspected everyone.

The final reveal completely blew me away—I never saw it coming, and I loved how the story kept delivering surprises right up to the end.

Told through multiple perspectives with short, bingeable chapters, it had real Never Lie-era Freida McFadden energy (not the recent stuff!).

I’m giving it 4.5 stars—mainly because of the slower start—but honestly, it might be the best thriller I’ve read this year. A must for fans of psychological thrillers that leave you reeling.

Thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the ARC!

I highly recommend this book! This was my first time reading a book by Amanda Brittany and will definitely not be my last! The twists and turns were continuous and the ending unforeseen. The author paints a whimsical picture of Ridgewater with its Fairy Cottage, the One Trick Pony, and the Sycamore House. However, Ridgewater also held mysterious deceptions of lies, secrets and murders among its people.

"Let me out" starts a little slow, with the main character Annie returning to her hometown whilst in the midst of a burnout and in sick leave as a doctor, to care after her brother who has fallen off a cliff and is - hopefully temporarily - paralysed and unable to communicate. Strange things starts happening as Annie reconnects with an old school friend who reveals a shocking secret to her, a burden she has carried all these years. In my opinion, the story could have been more developed - I thought the final revelation was a bit rushed, and there were maybe a little too much clues as to who did it - a little easy to find for me. It was still an enjoyable book with a good writing but not really edge of your seat material for me. Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book!
