The Intruder

"A dark and stormy night. An isolated cabin in the woods. A runaway child with a mysterious past...Thriller fans, buckle up!" -- Jason Rekulak, New York Times bestselling author of The Last One at the Wedding

There's someone at your front door - should you let them in? Find out in a riveting new thriller from global sensation and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid, Freida McFadden!

Who knows what the storm will blow in...

Casey's cabin in the wilderness is not built for a hurricane. Her roof shakes, the lights flicker, and the tree outside her front door sways ominously in the wind. But she's a lot more worried about the girl she discovers lurking outside her kitchen window.

She's young. She's alone. And she's covered in blood.

The girl won't explain where she came from, or loosen her grip on the knife in her right hand. And when Casey makes a disturbing discovery in the middle of the night, things take a turn for the worse.

The girl has a dark secret. One she'll kill to keep. And if Casey gets too close to the truth, she may not live to see the morning.

In this taut, deadly tale of survival and desperation, #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden explores how far one girl will go to save herself.

Casey has moved to a secluded cabin in the woods. The cabin has seen better days and a storm is rolling in. Her landlord Rudy says he will fix the roof and the old leaning tree after the storm. Her neighbor Lee offers her a place to stay, but Casey just wants her in space. The storm arrives and a mysterious face appears in the window. The night is sent to go a little crazy.

A typical Freida read. It’s quick and gripping, it want to know what’s going on!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️– The Intruder by Freida McFadden

Actually loved it. I have to admit it took me a while to figure out who everyone was and how they all fit together, but once I did, I was hooked. Like always with Freida McFadden, it’s fast-paced and impossible to put down—I finished it in one sitting. I love her writing style; her choice of words makes it so easy to picture everything exactly as it’s happening, without drowning you in unnecessary detail. She just knows how to give you enough. This one was definitely better than the last one I read from her, and now I honestly can’t wait for her next book.
