The Lodge: a gripping psychological thriller Kindle Edition
Anna has rebuilt her life after a toxic relationship with her obsessive, controlling ex, Clayton. She's finally found happiness with her fiancé, Joel, a veterinarian in the running for a dream job on a game reserve in South Africa.
When Joel is asked to interview at the luxurious safari lodge, Anna is delighted to be invited too. But her exotic holiday takes a sinister turn when she discovers that toxic ex Clayton is also a guest at the lodge.
Clayton seems happy with his new girlfriend, but Anna isn’t buying it. She doesn't believe in coincidences, and her gut tells her that Clayton is here for all the wrong reasons.
And she’s right. Because what Clayton has planned is beyond her worst nightmare. She escaped him once before – but this time he’s prepared the perfect trap.
The Lodge – the shocking psychological thriller from the best-selling author of The Visitors and What She Knew.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2023What a great read refusing to start a new book without leaving feedback. I generally go for insanely sadistic stories as written by Wade H. Garrett, Jon Athan, Ian Rob Wright, Bryan Keene & many more. Just throwing out some author's names for others that travel the darker side never hearing their names because they are independent writers with no publishing companies to back them up. I knew going into this story that it may not be what I generally go for but after reading the synopsis peaked my interest & did not disappoint. Did such a good job inserting the characters into the very descriptive surroundings (which did not bore me to death), actually felt I was there. When you feel present while reading, that is probably the authors highest praise. Thanks for the great read.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023Great suspense throughout the story with many twists and turns to encourage late night reading. Very well written. This is my first Rijks book but it certainly won’t be the last. Thanks so much for an excellent read 😀😀
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2023I needed a good cleanser after some of the horrific things I've read recently (Blood Bath Island anyone?), and this really hit the spot. Nothing to shocking but I did enjoy the "twist" well enough. Anna was utterly annoying to me, however. I felt like all she did was complain in the beginning. Granted, she wasn't entirely wrong, but regardless I felt like she was being bit of a wuss about the plane, especially after she revealed that she has had prior experience on them.
Overall, it was engaging enough that I finished it in a day. 3.5/5 rounded up to 4 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a story that develops in a way that doesn't feel rushed. By the end of the book I was in shock. Truly one of the best books I read during this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars another WOW
Miranda Rijks is a fantastic author and sadly I think I’ve come to the end of her books. This one was particularly good and I read it in a day as I couldn’t put it down. I didn’t guess what was happening this time,great read.
- BookloverReviewed in India on November 1, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful
This is such a riveting, suspenseful and heart pounding thriller. It is fast paced and narrated in past and present timelines. Anna and Joel go on an exotic holiday in South Africa. But when they plan something special there, suddenly people begin to die and the lodge becomes a perilous place to stay. Anna’s toxic ex Clayton also comes back to her, about whom she thought is dead. Joel is a veterinarian and he is Anna’s fiancé. And she finally found her happiness with him. But soon her world turns upside down. The book is so suspenseful and it is filled with twists and turns.
