The Housemaid

⭐️: 4.5/5 (rounded to 5 on Goodreads & Amazon), Desperate for a place to live & and a steady income Millie finds herself accepting a job offer from a bored housewife who doesn’t lift a finger. She’s moody, demanding, erratic, and snobby just like her daughter but her husband isn’t bad to look at so the job isn’t so bad. From the outside looking in they’re the perfect family, but from within the four walls of Millie’s room in the attic she knows that’s far from the truth and the more time she’s there, the more she hears through the vine that the family she’s working for aren’t what they appear. But what is the truth? Millie has no idea but she’s gonna find out whether she wants to or not., •, As you guys know I am not a thriller girl. Romance of any kind has my heart and always has but this one y’all. This one was an amazing second introduction to thrillers for me. It was a super easy read, not confusing at all and fast paced but detailed too!! It has me at the edge of my seat the whole time. I literally read it in one day. ONE! Seriously, this was probably the second thriller I’ve ever read., I didn’t see any of it coming. I loved how it was broken up into 3 parts. It filled in so many gaps! It kinda made me wish for a few chapters in the POV of the male mc because I just want to see what went on in that head but that’s just me. The end had my jaw on the floor 😂 I cannot wait for book two next month! I’m so excited to read it!, Millie is the definition of not all heroes wear capes 😂

I just loved it. I couldn’t put it down. I screamed with joy when Millie locked Andy in the attic. I was so proud that Nina did not let her take the blame that is the sign of a real woman. And now we know why he was like this, this is what his mother did to him so it was a learned punishment. This is a wonderful book, and I can’t wait to read the next issue and see what Millie will do to help this woman. She is such a rock. I turly hope that this is just a made up story, I would hate to think that someone lived this life, but I know that is is 99% positive that this is someone’s real life. What a relief the way things worked out.

Millie is desperate for a job. Recently out of prison she took on a job as a waitress from which she was fired. She is living in her car with no real hope for the future. Then she interviews for a housemaid job with Nina Winchester who lives in a gorgeous mansion with husband Andrew and daughter Cecelia., Despite her scruffy appearance and lack of a decent resume Nina hires her. Initially Nina seems nice but then a dark side comes to the fore. Nice one day, horribly mean the next. And daughter Cecilia is seemingly spoiled brat. Meanwhile, Andrew, who seems to stay in the background when at home is as sweet as he is handsome. Millie develops an infatuation for Andrew., Even though the house is quite palatial, Millie was consigned to a tiny room in the attic with a lumpy cot for a bed. Regardless of the meager accommodations and Nina’s mood changes it was way better than being unemployed and living in a car., Enzo, the Italian gardener for the Winchesters warned Millie of danger involved in working for Nina. But Millie figured she could handle the sparse accommodations, moody Nina and bratty Cecelia, and control her infatuation for Andrew for long enough to build up a bank and find her own apartment and a better job., But what was the danger that Enzo warned her of? Can Millie continue to handle Nina’s mood swings? Can she keep her hands off Andrew? As the story unfolds it starts to get creepy. Be prepared for some twists and unexpected turns. I give it a 4.5 rating.

I did not believe all the hype but I really enjoyed the other McFadden books I read so after seeing thousands of raves, I finally decided to go ahead and read it especially with the second book due to be released this month. Wow! It was even better than anticipated., Right from the beginning the tension started. And it rose exponentially. There weren’t a lot of characters but those ones feature seemed initially ch caricatures but boy were appearances deceiving. What can an ex-con with a resume and life story full of lies expect? So much more than they’d experienced over the past incarcerated 10 years. But secrets always get exposed when you least expect them to., I was really surprised by all the sarcastic humor that was laced throughout the book. I think it was necessary to break the unrelenting tension! You know when you’re yelling at your characters you are really invested in what’s happening. I was very tired but I had to know what happened next so I fought falling asleep and it was more than worth it., My fervent advice is to read this book! Don’t wait! If you enjoy psychological thrillers this one will blow your mind! If you are Freida Fanatic don’t hesitate any longer. Read this book now!, Even though I had read this amazing book on Kindle Unlimited I like to always support authors when possible so I made a point of purchasing it when it came on sale.
