This was the 1st book I've read by this author. I almost stopped reading because about page 70-80 I was so mad at the character that I threw the book off my porch! After a couple days I decided to pick it back up and boy am I glad I did. The book is full of twists and turns. I loved the writing style. I like the details, not too much, not too little. It's perfect and I can't wait to read the next book of the series. If an author can make a reader so mad they throw the book you gotta give the credit there! Highly recommend

what a book!!

I read this book in two days. I couldn’t put it down. What a creative scary and terrifying new twist on being a housemaid! I didn’t see the many twists coming. Easy read with an easy flow about it. It was easy to picture the whole book in my head as I read it. Great read! Can’t wait to start her next one, The Housemaid’s Watching.

Great read

I read this book in 1 day and it kept me on the edge of my seat turning pages from start to finish. The plot twist was like wow. I didn't expect that at all. Character development was immaculate. This was my first book by this author but won't be my last.

I liked this book. It is probably one of the better thrillers/mysteries I've read recently, and I did finish it quite fast. The writing style is extremely readable, but don't expect imagery and beautiful language -- this book is very plot-based from start to finish. In the middle, some aspects got a bit repetitive but I guess we needed to have some understanding of Nina, Andrew, and Millie. The book itself also veers off into a bit of romance towards the middle, if you're into that sort of thing this would be a great read, but if not it may get a bit boring. The twists, however, are quite strong. We get a few clues, although I would say that in this book they're actually less subtle than the second one. Definitely didn't expect the ending. For anyone planning on going into this book, you need to know that it's a thriller first, everything else second. The character development is mediocre, especially with Millie (imho), which is why I don't think I could give it any more than 5 stars. Overall, solid, I understand the hype and it's worth the read. **spoilers** I didn't really understand all that was going on with Nina's daughter, Cecelia. The whole idea of her being allergic to peanut butter and overall being a brat didn't work that well plotwise, unless she was just meant to be an annoying character all around. I know in Nina's pov she talked about Cecelia always having to be perfect for Andrew, still there was some confusion I had while reading. If someone could clear that up for me that'd be great.

Amazing plot
