Addison Cavalier’s Reviews > The Intruder > Status Update

Actually insane. Lee is Eleanor’s uncle, and Anton is Eleanor’s real dad. Casey is actually Ella, Eleanor was never Ella (but they had the same kind of life). Anton is in jail for life for killing his dad, and Lee goes to see him every Friday. Eleanor thinks Anton is actually dead but he isn’t. Casey realizes Anton is her dad when she sees a photo. Anton wanted Lee to live near Casey to look after her.

Anton and Ella stood up to Brittany because she’s bullying them. Anton injured Brittany very badly and the cops take him away. Ella will never see him again. Casey realizes Eleanor (Ella) never intended to hurt to her, she wanted to hurt her dad (Lee) instead. Ella just escaped from the closet where her mom locked her up, and she burned down her house and now she’s after Lee who is her dad and Casey realize this.

Very good so far. I love Anton and Ella‘s friendship so far like how they could both open up to each other. Eleanor is clearly Ella from when we go to the “now” chapters and see Casey’s POV. Idk what happened with Ella to where she was found in Casey’s shed. She has blood all over her shirt and is starved. Maybe she did something to her mother? (She has more cigarette burns) but that seems too obvious.

There are two first person characters that you follow - Casey and Ella - I think that the girl Casey found in her shed during the storm is Ella. Even though her name is Eleanor. Rudy is a perv and Lee is very suspicious. Rudy and Lee both said they didn’t see the little girl that Casey saw outside of her window, staring at her. - The book is very good so far and a very quick read.
