About this deal
no, scratch that, she's more like a red carpet stained with blood - okay, maybe i'm being a bit overly dramatic now. Once again, McFadden delivered with some mindless entertainment (if you’re looking for a literary masterpiece, this isn’t the book).
I really enjoy the style of writing, the plot twists and the character development and I plan to read more by this author, no doubt!Revenge drives this twisty jaw-dropping thriller, and the author keeps the suspense high throughout. Gripping, shocking and hard to put down, The Housemaid's Secret kept me turning the tables and left me sitting with my mouth open at one of the reveals in the book.
At the end of the first book, she embarks on a journey to work in special homes, thanks to the highly-regarded references from Nina. Tylko dlatego nie pięć gwiazdek, że pierwszy tom mnie wziął z totalnego zaskoczenia, a teraz już wiem, jak świetnie Freida McFadden konstruuje swoje książki, więc nie przeżyłam już takiego szoku jak przy „Pomocy domowej” ❤️ Co nie zmienia faktu, że to są absolutnie wybitne kryminały.I was very happy to get right back into what is going on with the main protagonist Millie since the ending to “The Housemaid” was pretty wild.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The first twist, while slightly more apparent, is not due to the author giving it away but rather because the book's concept encourages readers to think outside the box, fostering doubts about everyone's motives and leading us to suspect every move made by the other characters, all in an attempt to deceive us (or perhaps not-so-poor Millie, who retains her big heart to help others). While Millie swears she won’t get entangled in domestic drama again, once she realises that Wendy Garrick is likely being abused, Millie knows what she has to do.
i should definitely be afraid of this woman though👀now i’m wondering if millie will be the fmc in the third book! But like I said, I still enjoyed it, these books are quite lighthearted for a thriller so they make for quite easy reading.
