You Let Me In by Lucy Clarke

Today it is my stop on the blog tour for this absolute corker of a read, You Let Me In.

Those of you who follow my reviews will know what a big fan of Lucy Clarke I am so you can imagine my delight when her latest release landed on my door mat.

I have brought every one of Lucy Clarke’s novel time and time again for friends because they deserved to be read far and wide and I fail to see how any one would not love them as they are always full of suspense. Lucy Clarke’s new release is You Let Me In has a different look to her previous novels, gone are the sea scenes that seem to have been her signature style and in place is a white and grey chilling cover.

Bestselling author Elle returns home from a writing retreat but as soon as she walks in she knows that something isn’t right. She had rented her home out for the first time on air bnb but she had locked her writing room wanting to keep her privacy but on return the room is unlocked.

As the days follow and the deadline for her next book is looming but the words won’t flow, numerous unexplainable and creepy things begin to happen to her as if there is a constant presence in the house.

Wow wow wow! How does Lucy Clarke do this to me every time? Some books you read and they have that warm cosy inviting feeling, well not Lucy’s books her books chill me to the bone and have me so tense, I am talking shoulders permanently up by my ears from start to finish!

This book was so cleverly plotted keeping me guessing and having me suspicious of each and every character me meet, including our main character Elle! When the revelation came I was in complete and utter shock I had not seen this coming.

I don’t usually like to use the typical page turner quote in my reviews but this book has to be an exception as each time I went to put the book down instantly picked it back up again flying through the pages intrigued to see what was going to happen in the house next, I was so relieved when my Saturday night plans fell through so I could continue on this creepy chilling discovery!

This is an absolute corker of a book and to make it even better our main character Elle is an author so it was great to have a little insight into the authors pressures when a deadline is due. What I have always loved about this authors writing is how beautifully she describes everything from the surroundings to the feeling and emotions she just makes everything feel so heightened which puts us on edge even more as she pulls us in ready to take us by complete surprise.

I will be recommending this book to every bookworm I talk to and any of you who have read Luc Clarke’s previous novels will be blown away by this, her best book yet.
