The Lodger
by Valerie Keogh

 

She’s in your home…

Leigh Simons can’t say for sure what made her do it. A moment of madness, perhaps, but when the young, loud and gorgeous waitress at her favorite coffee shop reveals she is homeless, Leigh offers her the empty room in her house.

In your head…

Gina is the perfect lodger; Leigh, lonely and frustrated with her life, becomes infatuated with the woman – her boldness, her zeal. If only Leigh could be more like Gina…

And missing without trace.

So when Leigh returns from a work trip she’s shocked to find Gina missing. Where could the young woman have gone…and why?

Leigh fears that something terrible has happened – why else would Gina leave her?

But as she sets out to find her missing lodger, what Leigh discovers changes everything she knows about Gina….and her own life, too.

REVIEW

On a whim Leigh offers her favourite coffee shop waitress Gina the empty room in her house after she reveals she is homeless! She realises all to late that she really shouldn’t have done that but doesn’t know how to get out of it now she’s moved in. Gina is young, gorgeous and very free spirited and seems like she will be the perfect roommate, but Leigh doesn’t get to discover much about Gina as pretty much as soon as she moves in Leigh is sent away for a weeks anger management course following an incident with a male colleague at her office. When she gets home, the house is empty and all signs of Gina have been removed. Leigh can’t wrap her head around why she left so abruptly and she can’t let it go so she tries to find Gina.

This is where things start to take a turn, strange goings on happen around the house, and a general feeling of unease comes over Leigh that something bad has happened to Gina and whilst this is all going on her boyfriend Matt is starting to get distant.

Does Matt know something or hiding something about Gina? Who is messing with Leigh in the house? You will have to read this to find out those answers. 

The only part of this story I did not enjoy was the ending, I felt like although it was tied up in a neat bow it was literally the last chapter before we go the truth about Gina. Ok I did enjoy the ending I just have to admit as I was seeing my progress show that I was nearing the end on my kindle I was worried that we wouldn’t actually find out! lol
