I received a copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Elle has the life many writers dream of - a bestselling debut novel in international languages, a deal for a second book and a wonderful clifftop house in Cornwall with a beautiful writer's room. But not all is idyllic as it seems, and when Elle comes back from a summer in France, she starts feeling like she's not alone as she thinks in her empty house, and old fears and memories come back to haunt her.

I found You Let Me In an extremely atmospheric, creepy read and felt really sucked in after a few chapters. Elle isn't a particularly likable character and does come across quite cold, and almost uppity at times but I liked that she was also an author and I did wonder if some of her thoughts and frustrations with her writing was an exaggerated reflection of Lucy Clarke's - particularly when it came to the pressures of follow-up novels after such a successful debut.

There seemed to be a lot to uncover with this story, and Elle was definitely a character with a lot of secrets, all of which were revealed one by one. If I could describe this book with a colour, it would definitely be a misty gray - I don't know if it was just the subtle creepiness of potentially Elle not being alone in her house, the description of her home or the cliffside/beach setting.

I definitely guessed some things that happened in this book but not all, and I did find the twist and reveal pretty entertaining.
