I have read many of Louise Jensen’s books but, in my opinion, this wasn’t one of her best. Although in some ways it was a good scary plot with lots( too many) twists and turns,I found it quite complicated trying to remember who was who and what family they were in and then there were the different timelines. Some parts of the story didn’t add up for me and didn’t quite ring true and I was all for giving up. I did finish it and I’m glad I did and yes , I could appreciate that it would be a good read for some!!

Wow what a great read. Loved this book from the first page I would highly recommend this book. This author never disappoints.

My review on Amazon: A fast paced rollercoaster of a thriller that keeps you guessing. https://amzn.eu/d/5KqhBih

I loved this and would recommend this writer to anyone. She is consistent and has a great skill to bring characters to life.

Well…..wow. Honestly. Incredible.

This story starts with the murders, and we go along with the plot, and it’s all fine, getting a bit spooky, a bit ghost story….and then you get punched in the face - repeatedly.

I was shook. The plot twists in this one. Just what?!!

This is a fantastic book - told from two timelines, the story of the murderer family, and the present day caretakers.

Honestly, shook. Brilliantly done.

My thanks to Netgalley and HQ for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Oh My Goodness! Miss Louise Jensen does it again!! Another book with so many twists and turns it made me dizzy. There is a dual timeline and dual POV! Literally, my favorite!
Newington House has a very dark history. James and Cass move in as caretakers and sinister events begin to happen. The Prologue and the story don't match up at first. You have to keep reading and all of the pieces of the puzzle come together. I promise it is so worth it!
If you like Freida McFadden or Kiersten Modglin and you haven't tried Louise Jensen do it immediately! You won't regret it!

I'm so late to read this one and I regret not reading this one sooner! Thank you to @fabricating_fiction, @harpercollins @hqstories, @netgalley. For a gifted copy of this ebook. It is out now. All thoughts and opinions, as always, are my own.

Starts off pretty well with Cass and James making their first home together as caretakers of a large house, scene of a brutal crime near 30 years previously. The house appears haunted by the ghosts of the victims and in particular the eldest daughter.

The story is told from various viewpoints past and present, which allows the author to misdirect the reader in a significant way. Once the big reveal happens and the motive for the murders is exposed, the story loses its way. The differing narratives offer little intrigue, the murders are largely hidden from the reader and the climax and epilogue are just plain silly.

Too many coincidences, a clunky and unbelievable secret central to the plot, and a risible conclusion make this a disappointing read.

Great twisty book that had me guessing until the very end! Would highly recommend as always with Louise Jenson's books.

Thank you HQ and Netgalley.
Wow, wow, wow what a thriller I couldn't put it down.
I devoured this book.
So many twists and turns I had to go back through to book to re-read parts.
Absolutely brilliant - more please.

I very quickly learned to read this book in daylight hours/ Do I need to say more? Chills, thrills, spills...oh my!

What's that old adage - if something looks too good to be true, it probably is...

Clearly advice that Cass seems determined to ignore when her long-distance boyfriend of just 6 months suggests they live together in a murder house!

Employed as caretakers cum inventory writers, Cass and James move into the dusty old pile meaning they can save up for their own place while living and working in Newington House.

Each wrapped up in their own grief and troubled family circumstances, Cass and James don't always communicate well and this paves the way for easy misunderstandings and unspoken concerns.

Louise Jensen skillfully turns this melting pot of scenarios into a tense psychological thriller that had me guessing all the way through, and being very unsure of who was trustworthy.

Louise Jensen has a wonderful way of drawing the reader into the story and I found myself quite cross with Cass and James jointly and individually - there was a delightful sense of unease and a strong undercurrent of building tension and darkness. I felt strongly that things were really not as they seemed and boy was I right but in a more sinister and depraved way than I could have imagined!

Overall, an intelligent and cleverly plotted psychological thriller.

A fantastic read with so much atmosphere. The writing makes you feel as though you're actually there in the house and feeling the same level of creepiness and unease as the characters. Slightly disappinted with the ending but a good read nonetheless.

What a twist! I was so confused I had to go back through the book and re-read bits to get my head around it. Brilliant turn of events.

Louise Jensen have never disappointed me. Another excellent read, fast paced, beautifully constructed.
Everyone has secrets. Sometimes they cause misunderstanding between people, lasting more than one generation's life, and then the situation turns out of control because nobody knows what really happened many years ago.

This book was exciting to read. The connection between the characters was excellent, and it shows that sometimes you will do anything to protect your family. I did get a but confused between the characters, and the end wasn't as good as I expected.

This book took me too long to get into and by the time I did get into it I was fed up with it. Thanks for the opportunity to read it.

This is one of the twistiest thrillers I have read for a long time. I was on the edge of my seat for most of this book and couldn't put it down!
I loved the dual narrative between Cass and James and found it such a compelling story. It got a lot darker than I was expecting too! Their stories are alternated with Zeta and Rose's narratives from thirty years before, detailing the events that led up to the Medley murders at Newington House where Cass and James are house sitting.
We are slowly drip fed information about what happened in both Cass and James' past and how these events are connected to the present day.
If you like creepy, atmospheric thrillers I would definitely recommend this one. I always enjoy books by Louise Jensen but I think this is my favourite one so far.

It took a while for me to really get into this one, I felt like the beginning had me almost predicting the ending from very early on, it did pick up about halfway through though and there were some good twists and turns to keep me interested.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Tense, fast paced, twisty, and gripping. A sort of gothic thriller very entertaining.
A more extensive review will follow
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

My thanks to HQ and NetGalley for a copy of “ The Intruders” for an honest review.

I already knew , from her past books , that Louise Jensen was a good writer , but this time she has excelled herself !
This was the perfect example of what a psychological thriller should be like., dark and puzzling.
I thought I knew what was happening with the story , when it took off in a completely different direction.
The book was totally absorbing and I expect it’ll be in my top ten reads of the year.

The Intruders by Louise Jenson is a psychological thriller and starts thirty years previously when the family who lived there were murdered.
Cass and James are invited to be caretakers in this old mansion house, where no one has lived in since the murders thirty years previously.
Is it a house of horrors or is someone watching Cass and James?
It is a very twisted and dangerous story, with events happening very quickly near the end. Will Cass survive or will Rose win.
So many twists and turns and only one person can survive.
Highly recommended
