Ratings and reviews

Good read. You kind of know what you're getting from this series of books, but that's no bad thing! I'll certainly keep on downloading them.

“She’s in your home…and in your head…” Keogh creates a dark and sinister tale where I was held captive and on the edge of my seat. The intensity increases with each page turn and I just had to know what happened to Gina!. The pace is slightly on the slower side, but does work in this case and its plot twists and outcome satisfies. The Lodger is another entertaining read from Keogh, that once again showcases her talent for storytelling.

Wow what a very good book this was. I loved it. It was tense ,creepy, unnerving and at times almost funny. I loved Leigh, the main character and I hated her boyfriend Matt. The plot was superb. Highly recommended.
