This was everything I could ever want in a thriller!! Granted its not the most realistic hut it is just utterly captivating and spell binding. You honestly won't be able to put it down. The characters are so well written that you can literally see these people going about their lives. It's like watching watching a Netflix series! Absolute, all encompassing, escapist, bliss!!

Well this was a nail biter read! I don’t want to say too much to spoil it for anyone but be prepared for some page flipping twists. And that ending was genuis, completely original and fabulous! Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture and Freida McFadden for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Absolutely loved this book, partly predictable but needed an easy read and it did not disappoint 5 stars

Hi! The Housemaid by Freida McFadden is a must-read thriller. From the very first line, it kept me hooked and I’ll explain why here in my review.

Now, there are some books you love because they’re rooted in reality and there are some you love because they’re well, fictional. This was the latter. Not because it had dragons or flying fairies but because it had the best ending I could ask for. You’ll have to read the book to find out what I mean (no spoilers) but I can promise you will love it.

Why you should read this book

*The characters!!! They are all so very complex, it’s impossible not to get drawn into their lives and interactions. You’ll see hidden meanings and motives everywhere, it’s a definitely enthralling thriller.

*The plot definitely made me love this book. I don’t know what I expected from the story but I definitely didn’t expect to finish the book in just two sittings or end it with a huge smile on my face.

*I appreciated the author’s writing a lot. The book was comprised of relatively short chapters and there was dark humor sprinkled into the chapters that somehow kept the story light and managed to make me love the book even more.

*This book left me wanting more. Now, recently, I’ve read a lot of books that made me tear up, laugh and feel connected to the characters. All great reads but this is one of the very few that left me wanting more. I wanted to know more of Millie’s story, I needed more.

So, all-in-all, read this book if you like thrillers. That’s all I will say, all I CAN say because I’m going to start sprouting spoilers otherwise. An easy 4.5 star read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my review!

My first read by Frieda McFadden and I was absolutely gripped. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!

Fast paced, lots of twists and turns and I enjoyed the story from different points of view.

Well plotted, keeps you engaged and the characters keep you wanting to read more.

I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.

A must read!

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for an ARC of this story.

This is my 5th book from Freida McFadden and I loved every bit of it from beginning to end!
This book will keep you hooked and want to keep reading.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

This book is a MUST READ! I couldn't put it down. Often i found myself thinking i had the twists figured out (which I never actually did) and then there would be a complete curveball. I loved this book and I think anyone that enjoys thrillers will also find it riveting. Another great book by Freida McFadden!

It just doesn't get any better than this! Twists and turns galore from start to finish and the ending will knock your socks off!! I absolutely couldn't put this down until I knew what was happening next. To say I highly recommend is an understatement!! Don't miss this one you will love it!!

Wow! This was one of my fastest reads since quite some time! I finished it in a day, setting my own new record (*cheers and claps*)

Okay, now that I have patted myself on the back, I must say that this feat has been achieved only because the book was a total page turner. I couldn't wait to see what happened with Millie and Andrew and Nina.

Millie has spent a decade in prison and is now looking for a new job. Of course, it is not easy with her background. And she is literally living in her car so a good job is the only way to get her out of this situation.

When the ultra-wealthy Nina Winchester calls her, offering her a place as the Winchester's housemaid, Millie is thrilled. At last, she can straighten her legs while sleeping.

But from the get go, she senses something is terribly wrong. What is happening?

The only saving grace of the Winchester household is Andrew Winchester. Unfortunately for Millie, she finds herself falling in love with him.

How will the three of them get out of their tangled loved? Will they ever be happy?

If the first half of the book is about the people, the second half is absolutely crazy (in a good way). I guessed the plotline quite a while before I got to that point (blame reading excessive thrillers), but even though I knew, the suspense didn't let up till the end.

And while I'm talking about the end, WHAT AN AMAZING ENDING THAT WAS! I did NOT expect it. At. All. Yay for woman power!

5 stars!

Thanks to Netgalley, Bookouture, and Freida McFadden for the ARC.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and Bookouture for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I absolutely loved every page of it. Fast paced with an intriguing storyline yet so easy to read. I now need to find some more books from this author, a huge 5* from me.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. This was a good twisty thriller, and it kept me engaged throughout trying to find out what would happen at the end. The plot was slightly implausible, and some of the characters not wholly realistic, but the book still kept me gripped right to the last page. I would be interested to read more from the author in future!

What a fun and creepy suspense novel! I loved the main character, who had plenty of her own secrets... but then she goes to work as a live-in maid with a dysfunctional family that has plenty of their own! I did not see the end coming. Definitely grab this one!

The Housemaid it a fantastic read that gripped me from the first chapter. I loved the storytelling from two povs and found it the house story completely engrossing. I would highly recommend this to any thriller fans.

Absolutely loved this book! Gripping from the beginning and kept me guessing, I’m honestly surprised I didn’t guess the twist. I loved the two POVs and believe it was wrapped up nicely, I had no lingering questions upon finishing.

I just discovered @fizzziatrist this year, and I’ve been binging her books ever since. I love how dark and twisted they are. This story had some similarities to The Wife Upstairs, but I enjoyed every second of it. I read the entire book in one sitting, and while I’ll likely have some trouble getting up when my alarm goes off tomorrow, I have no regrets 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you to @netgalley and @bookouture for the arc in exchange for my opinion..

Millie is fresh out of jail and in desperate need of a job and Nina is a wealthy suburban mom in desperate need of a maid- or maybe more then that…
Millie takes the job as Housemaid to the Winchester family under the assumption she will do cleaning, light cooking and a bit of childcare but will live upstairs in the families attic. It seems a little strange at first. She thought she would stay in the guest room but against her judgement she goes along with it.
Not long after she starts, she realizes her boss Nina, is off the chains. Mentally and verbally abusive and down right nuts. Not to mention a total slob!!! I kept finding myself so annoyed by Millie who continues to take such abuse from Nina! I couldn’t understand why anyone would stay in a job that they were some jerked around in. I mean I got she had to keep employment for her parole but come on. This stuff was like gaslighting as it’s finest! But you know, it was not what it seemed. The story really jumps off around the middle part!! I’m glad I keep chugging along.
The housemaid was a simple mystery by Frieda McFadden. I say that because it was not complex. If you were a fan of Behind Closed Doors by B.A.Paris you may really enjoy this one.
I found it to be a quick read- less than 2 days and I breezed through and had it all straight after the mid point! I liked the short chapters and even the slight humor from Millie who was a typical 20 something.
Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for the ARC

And I give you my first 5 star of the year! I am pretty stingy with 5 stars and don’t give them out very often. In order for a book to be 5 stars, it must absolutely BLOW ME AWAY and well, this book did just did that. It’s been a few days since finishing it and I still can’t get out of my head. It will be one of the rare books that stay with me forever.

I love when a book derails from the direction I initially thought it was headed in. Buckle up and get ready to be turned upside down because the TWISTS are about to rush all of your blood to your head and blow your mind. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Freaking bravo Freida McFadden. Bravo!!!

This domestic thriller is a page turner and I couldn’t put it down! The author’s familiar, relatable writing style immediately drew me into this compelling book. No spoilers…highly recommended.

This was my first time reading a book by Freida McFadden and it will certainly my not be my last. In fact, I just finished and I’ve already purchased two more of her books for my Kindle.
This book was THAT good.

There were so many layers to peel back in this tale of a woman hired to be a maid for a wealthy family.
Every chapter brought something new to light and I savored every word!

If you love thrillers- you MUST read this one!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Thank you Net Galley for a ARC in exchange for an honest review. I love a good page turner where the plot twists are as twisted as the main characters. Freida McFadden does a great job setting the scene and developing characters that are all just a bit questionable but only reveals enough about each character to keep you guessing. I really enjoyed the shift to another character perspective in section 2 and how it all eventually comes together in section 3 for a disturbingly satisfying conclusion. I will definitely be checking out other titles by this author. .
