On the day author Mari Morgan receives the email, she has little left to live for.
The message—simple yet utterly life-changing—offers a glimmer of hope to her dismal existence. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime, and if she takes it, it could change everything.
Mari’s immediate sense of unease is eclipsed only by her curiosity—elicited from the supposed fan on the other end of the email. Unsatisfied despite doing her due diligence, and with no way to discern the legitimacy of the sender, Mari takes a leap of faith and replies.
What harm could come from one innocent message?
Soon, as she comes face to face with her ‘number one fan,’ it’s all too clear things are not what they first appeared. Now trapped by a villain far more sinister than she could’ve crafted herself, the fate awaiting her is inspired by the darkest depths of the monsters in her own novels.
In order to escape and survive, Mari must use the strength of the heroines she’s spent years writing about. But this villain has spent years inside her worlds, too.
How will she defeat an evil who has learned from the best?
For fans of Misery, YOU, and Behind Closed Doors, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a haunting tale of obsession and survival in the form of a writer’s worst nightmare come to life.

Suspenseful story
I’m happy that I tried another book by this author because it was suspense at its best and even kept me up past my normal bedtime. This is the book that makes me want to go back and start reading her back list (all 38 of them).Mari is an author who is having trouble writing. A little bit of vodka seems to help her through the day and wasting time reading email helps the time go past. Until she reads an email from her number one fan. She replies to the email – her first big mistake. Soon after, she gets notification that a Hollywood producer wants her to come to dinner to discuss making one of her books into a screenplay. She isn’t really sure that its legit but decides that dinner will be nice, the man’s wife will be there and she can always leave if she’s not comfortable. These were all her assumptions and the truth ended up totally different. She ended up drugged and woke up tied to a bed in a dusty old basement with her number one fan keeping her captive. He wants to play out all of the scary parts of her previous books and always seems a step ahead of her. Does she have the strength – both mental and physical to escape from her cruel captor?I can’t reveal anything else about the story because I don’t want to spoil it — but I will tell you that this story is a roller coaster ride that will keep you turning the pages as you speed towards the end. This fast paced book is full of twists and turns that will keep you biting your nails until the end.

Worth reading
This is the first book I have read by this author. I enjoyed the book, but kept feeling like something was missing. I’m not sure what though. The story had a good villain and storyline. Maybe it was because it reminded me so much of the movie Misery. I think you will enjoy the book. It is well written and a fast-moving book.

3.25 star book
When mari, an author, receives an email to meet a producer. She can’t believe it’s true but ultimately goes to meet him. However he isn’t who he says he is. Drugging her and leaving her locked in a room. Saying he is helping her get better after the loss of her family. With torture as the main form of getting mari back into writing can she survive and escape him. With a few twists and turns on this story I enjoyed this quick psychology thriller story. It’s a nice quick read as a palate cleanser for romcoms and fantasy books.

Mind-Blown: ‘Do Not Open’ by Kiersten Modglin Delivers a Jaw-Dropping Twist
*5/5 Stars*I’m still trying to process the whirlwind of emotions I experienced while reading “Do Not Open” by Kiersten Modglin. I devoured this book in one sitting, ignoring the world around me until I reached the final page.The twist? Absolutely masterful. I’m talking jaw-dropping, goosebump-inducing, “did-that-just-happen?” shock. Modglin’s skill at crafting intricate plots and surprising readers is unparalleled.What struck me most was her ability to create relatable characters and immerse me in their world. I felt like I was right there with them, experiencing every fear, every doubt, and every revelation.I’ve read my fair share of psychological thrillers, but “Do Not Open” stands out from the crowd. Modglin’s writing is addictive, and her talent for storytelling is evident on every page.If you’re a fan of the genre, do yourself a favor and pick up “Do Not Open”. But be warned: once you start, you won’t be able to put it down. I’m still reeling from the experience, and I know this book will stay with me for a long time.

Her Best Yet!
DO NOT OPEN may be a nod to MISERY, but Kiersten Modglin made this story wholly her own.Mari Montgomery doesn’t have a lot left to live for. Once a successful writer, the words just won’t come to her anymore. She’s lost her husband and son in a vaguely referenced accident, and she tends to find solace at the bottom of a bottle instead of creating stories at her desk. When she receives an e-mail one day from a fan praising her work, she’s shocked to see that the sender owns a production company. Needing this opportunity more than she’d like to admit, she lets her best friend silence that little voice that cautions, “𝑩𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍.”It isn’t long before Mari realizes she’s made a terrible mistake, and she finds herself trapped with a monster in human form. Be aware that some of the scenes, while I wouldn’t call graphic, are much darker than what appear in her previous books. However, they are absolutely integral to the storyline and weren’t at all disturbing to me.When I tell you that the tension I felt throughout this book was palpable, I mean that I was barely breathing. It was as if when Mari was hiding, I was right there alongside her. As a long-time reader of this author’s books, I thought I was used to her twists, but this one absolutely blindsided me, and I sat there dumbly with my mouth open. She was far from finished, and before I recovered from that one, she hit me with one that left me absolutely silent, eyes filled with tears. Yes, I know I sound hyperbolic, but it was that intense.This book was so much more than a thriller. It was about confronting fears, accepting loss, and moving on even when all you want to do is give up. It is also a haunting tale of how social media has given us so much access to people we admire, and that is often a double-edged sword.
