Holly lived with her aunt and uncle in Nottibgham after her parents died. She could hardly wait to leave and travelled to Manchester looking for a new and better life. After a bad experience she returns to Nottibgham but nothing is the same. Many twists and turns with an amazing ending. Thank you NetGalley, Bookoutre and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

4.5 stars.
The story flicks between Holly and David. Holly's chapters go back and forth from past to present so that the story builds up to events that happened as a teenager. We know something happened as she seems to be running scared but we don't know quite what. I really liked Holly as she is obviously wanting to get her life back on track and I was willing for everything to turn out right for her.

David is very much an odd ball. I didn't know quite what to make of him. He has done something in his past, of which I was dying to know just exactly what. It took me a while to warm up to him as I wasn't quite sure where exactly he fitted into the whole story but the further into the book I got, the more he started to grow on me. He actually reminded me very much of Jim Nicholson in As Good As It Gets and the friendship that him and Helen Hunt strike up.

The Visitor is yet another compelling read by the author that had me totally hooked. I know as soon I start one of her books that I won't be disappointed and I emerge myself totally into the story forgetting the world outside. The tension and suspense mounts as the story goes a long, guaranteeing those pages getting turned. Whilst some things I guessed correctly, others totally took me by surprise and have to say I absolutely loved that ending.

The Visitor by K.L. Slater is a psychologist thriller that has you on the edge of your seat. It has plenty of twists and turns and keeps you guessing until the end. Holly has had a bad time in Manchester and returns to the place she grew up to make a new life for herself. She meets Cora, who gives her a room in her house because Cora is lonely and wants some company. Cora's next door neighbour is David who still lives with his mother. David is a nervous person who doesn't like to go out and spends most of his time spying on his neighbours and recording their habits. David takes a special interest in Holly. This book is full of secrets and deception with interesting characters. I would like to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wow... that ending blew me away! I could not wait to read this book after enjoying all of KL Slaters other book.

Holly left Nottingham 10 years ago.. and thought she would never return. But life in Manchester did not quite go the way she planned and something terrible happened to her. She has returned and is a visitor staying with Cora.

Cora's neighbour David is a bit different... he is 40 years old and still lives at home with his mother. After an incident a few years ago he no longer likes to leave the house after dark. He spends his afternoons watching the people on the street and keeping a close eye on their lives.

Will Holly will be able to start fresh in Nottingham, and will David be able to be her friend.?

I loved this book... not knowing until the end the truth behind the characters behaviours. I have had a quiet weekend of reading and read this one in a few hours.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a copy of this book to read and enjoy in exchange for my honest opinions

Excellent book with a brilliant storyline and great main characters. I would recommend this book.
