The Intruder

The Influencer Series, Book 3

De: Adriane Leigh

Narrado por: Amy Hutchins

How far would you go to reclaim the life you were denied?

Shae Halston wears her lies like a second skin. The dutiful daughter. The perfect wife. The loving caregiver. After a lifetime of betrayal, abandonment, and unspeakable abuse, Shae has learned one truth—revenge is the only way to heal. When she takes a job caring for Kelly, a once-renowned therapist left helpless and disfigured after a tragic accident, Shae sees it as the perfect opportunity.

Because Kelly isn't just her patient. She's the woman who destroyed Shae's life.

As secrets unravel and memories resurface, Shae's grip on reality begins to slip. Kelly knows more than she lets on, and Shae's carefully constructed revenge spirals into something far more dangerous. In a house filled with buried secrets and ghosts of the past, the line between victim and villain begins to blur.

How far will Shae go to punish the woman who left her? And what happens when the monster you're hunting…is you?

Darkly twisted, chillingly intimate, and deeply unsettling, The Intruder is a psychological thriller about generational trauma, manipulation, and the darkness that festers when revenge becomes an obsession. Perfect for fans of The Locked Door by Freida McFadden, Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, and The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, this story will haunt you long after you've finished.

The Intruder is the third and final book in the series and is best enjoyed after listening to The Influencer and The Imposter. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Repeatitive!!!!

The story seemed to be filled with filler talk by using repeatitive word and sentences as if trying to meet a word count quota. This book would have way shorter had it not been filled with filled words.

Repeated Language

ok, so I have read the first 2 books in this series. I don't know much about the author or if the repeat of the main characters statements or tag lines was intentional but it was annoying after a while. I wish I would have kept track of how many time Shay said "my voice dripping with...(insert emotion here) or "get some rest, tomorrows a big day" or "you don't get to be the victim (or other similar variations). The plot was interesting enough, but by book 3 all I could think was, why the hell hasn't this woman be caught yet? Overall, if you read the first 2 novels in the series, you might as well read this one too.

Great series. Wonder what's next??

Great series. Wonder what's next?? I think there needs to be a fourth book. Nothing will stop her now...more please!

I felt tortured

I did not care for this book. Book two was the best out of the series.

Repetitive

I loved the first one. Liked the second one. And had to force myself to finish this one. A ton of the same old thing over and over. Disappointing.
