The Housemaid

Product Information

I started this book thinking I’ll get the temporary satisfaction of a quick thriller (my favorite genre of book) and move on to the third Harry Potter afterwards. do you know those movies about the scary cult of, like, creepy kids who can read minds and worship the devil and live in the cornfields or something? Thinking back on everything, I can’t tell you how many authentic jaw-dropping moments I had while reading this as this novel completely blew my mind. AND IF YOU HAVE READ THIS BOOK, PUT DOWN WHATEVER YOU’RE READING AND GRAB ANOTHER FREIDA MCFADDEN BOOK!

After all the buzzing hype surrounding this book that never seems to diminish, I finally decided it was time to dive in and award myself some entertaining popcorn reading.The Housemaid” by Freida McFadden is just one of those novels that for years to come, I will speak highly of and recommend to anyone that wants an incredible thriller. I wasn’t expecting the most as I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews, but personally, I flippin’ loved it. I was undecided if I wanted to read this book, as I heard alot of mixed reviews about the story and the writing. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because I wish there were a few more mini-plot twists sprinkled throughout, but overall, I really enjoyed it and would definitely read the sequel!

Though originally anticipated to be a quick read, the unfortunate weeks of literary dormancy prolonged my journey through the pages, creating an extended but not entirely unwelcome experience. Yes I said creepy characters that put shivers up my spine the whole way through,I thought I had it worked out but not tthe reveal had my head spinning, I loved every twisted sick moment of this book.

She lives with her family and black cat in a centuries-old three-story home overlooking the ocean, with staircases that creak and moan with each step, and nobody could hear you if you scream. How can Millie describe her new, tiny attic room in the Winchester house as an "inhuman place, like a torture chamber", when she's been living in the back of her car right before moving to said attic room, and has spent 10 years in jail right before that? Read both books in under 2 weeks because I was so into it, would have been sooner if I didn't have stuff to do, or work lol! In addition, she learns that Nina spent time in a psychiatric hospital after trying to kill Cecelia when she was a baby.

There are so many twists and turns in this book I was in knots and althought I thought I had it sussed no, no I definitely didn’t. Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train won’t be able to put this down! When she gets hired by Nina and Andrew as a live-in housemaid/nanny she believes she has found her dream job.Freida definitely delivered the best twisty ending … Gripping from start to finish … honestly, I just could not put it down… An absolutely mind-blowing shocker that kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat literally until the very end.

I won't put spoilers in, but I was also pleasantly surprised and rooting for other characters that I very much disliked in the beginning by the end as well.Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window , The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train won’t be able to put down The Housemaid ! Millie is young and pretty, ensuring that Andrew will be attracted to her, and is desperate for a job. Millie interviews with the elegant wife/mother in her elegant house with her elegant handsome husband. i always had it in the back of my mind of what could’ve possibly happened, but when shit happened…idk what i expected, but let me just tell you that it wasn’t THAT.
