She is such a narcissist, all I wanted was Douglas to just tell her her reality and find a life of his own. But when she stumbles upon bloodstains in the bathroom and uncovers the reason for Wendy Garrick's seclusion—a battered and bruised face—her anger ignites. I've come across several comments stating that the second book doesn't quite match the excellence of the first. i have so much to say so that should give you an idea about how interesting it was to read about her. Wowsers… The end twist was MAGNIFICANT, and it was the first time ever, when reading any thriller, that I have gasped out loud “noooooo?

Yes, there were a few discrepancies that I caught while reading this (but who’s counting, 😉), so I’m going with 4. Faced with no other options and fortunately without the need to move in with Brock (not broccoli), Millie manages to secure a promising job at the last minute. She doesn't share with her boyfriend, Brock, about her past because he is a successful attorney and afraid he will dump her. Because Freida's hero is believable--as far as these sorts of stories go--and extremely sympathetic and brave and unrelenting.Well, at the very least, the beginning did… The only other bit that bothered me was how far-fetched it felt. I also recommend both The Housemaid and The Housemaid’s Secret as they are fun, entertaining, thrilling reads! I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed that Freida McFadden won't keep us waiting too long for the next dance—or perhaps many more dances—in Millie's thrilling adventures. it felt as though she was stuck in a loop, constantly regurgitating the same phrases and ideas over and over again.

Definitely recommend this wild psychological thriller novel to anyone who love crazy and creepy plot twists and unhinged characters. So, now Enzo and Millie live together in the SOUTH BRONX, and I guess she’ll find another cleaning job? Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train will be completely hooked! well if you start your book with a cute little sentence like that then i’m bound to read it quite fast😀if you are in a reading slump, then i 10/10 recommend freida’s books! This sequel delivers in ways only McFadden can conjure as it’s another incredible psychological thriller of a read.Bestselling author Freida McFadden is a practicing physician specializing in brain injury who has penned multiple Kindle bestselling psychological thrillers and medical humor novels.

Then she sees Wendy with a busted up face and at some point Millie gets Wendy out of the PENTHOUSE APARTMENT ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE and to a cheap motel that is even worse than the SOUTH BRONX, but Douglas finds her and brings her back to the PENTHOUSE APARTMENT and continues to escalate the abuse. This sequel doesn't exactly continue from the end of the first novel, but provides enough of context to help us bridge to the events of this book. But if you’re willing to throw out your suspension of disbelief, it’s still quite the chilling (and thrilling) tale. This is the second book I’ve consumed in the last few days by Freida McFadden, and I use “consumed” because that is exactly how it’s been. 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.Although the book featured Freida McFadden's classic twists, these twists failed to "sweep me away" and, instead, left my eyes rolling. Given her compulsion to help women in danger, she wants to learn what is really going on behind the opulent front doors. This book does work nicely as a standalone but reading the first book gives you more insight into Millie and her need to help others.
