Psychological Thriller Book Review: The Visitor by K.L. Slater

​Oh my goodness, this one gave me the chills. It introduces you to a few characters - each one as full of secrets as the next. 

The Visitor literally filled me with dread from the first few chapters and the anticipation that something is about to go horribly wrong kept building and building until it exploded.   

​And the ending was just all wrong - but in the best way! It's a slower build to other faster paced psychological thrillers, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Have you read it? What did you think? Comment below and let me know. 

Here's the blurb:

Everyone has a secret in their past.

Everyone pretends to be something they’re not.

But someone is always watching… and that someone is closer than you think.

Holly returns to her home town after some time away – she has been through something terrible and now she needs a safe haven in which to recover, and to plan the rest of her life. She finds a room in a quiet and leafy suburban street, in the home of Cora Barrett.

David lives next door to Cora Barrett and he sees everything that happens on Baker Crescent. David stays at home, and he watches: he likes to feel safe and he doesn’t like to leave the house. He wants to keep his friends and neighbours safe too. So he observes them, and he records every tiny detail of their lives, just in case the information is ever needed.

Both lonely and vulnerable, Holly and David gradually begin to strike up a friendship. But Holly can’t shake the feeling that someone from her past might have tracked her down. And David is always watching… But uncovering the secret that could save his new friend and neighbour could be the one thing that destroys him.
