The Intruder

Pretty great thriller, nothing extraordinary but it was a solid story!

Casey, a former teacher, is alone in a remote cabin during a violent storm when she finds a bleeding, knife-wielding girl named Eleanor outside. Despite her fear, Casey lets the girl in and promises not to call the police, a decision she soon regrets. As they are trapped together by the storm, dangerous secrets begin to surface. Casey realizes the real danger may not be Eleanor but the truth she has been running from. Freidaaaaa Readahhhh and proud. This one seemed like a hit or miss for bookstagram folks but I—who is easily entertained and easy to please— loooooved The Intruder. I always appreciate that a Freida read is an easy read and guaranteed to a have a twist (or two, or three) that I didn't see coming. If you don't like predictable reads (which every Freida book kinda is??) I would say maybe pass on this one. If you're a Freida fan and haven't read this book yet...are you a true fan?? Just kidding. Have you read The Intruder? Yay or nay?? Trigger Warnings: Violence, assault, weapons, blood, isolation, fear, trauma, suspense, stalking, intimidation, psychological distress, life-threatening situations, abusive behavior

Kept my interest. It has a good twist at the end. The names were very similar which got confusing of whose story was whose. I suspect it was intentional to show the similarities of their upbringing.

She got me again.

I thought someone was someone else and nope, that wasn’t it. And thought it was going one way and it didn’t. She took me on a ride. I thought I was going to hate this book 50% in, then in true Frieda fashion, she got me. Loved it!

Wow what a twist
