• The sequel to The Housemaid was just as mind blowing as the first one and it’s definitely one of those books that aren’t easily forgettable! 

• I often questioned if I’d like it as much as the first one while I was reading it because there were some resemblances and I thought that I had the twist figured out but I didn’t see that ending coming at all!! I don’t remember much tbh because I read this months ago but all I remember is that I yelled “what the actual fuck” at the end and that’s a sign of a good thriller imo 

• I didn’t rate it 5⭐️ because the ending seemed a bit far fetched but I’d still highly recommend it if you loved The Housemaid and I’m patiently waiting for the third book!!

The housemaid's secret is the sequel to The housemaid.  It follows Millie who is main character in first book. She is now turning over a new leaf so to speak. Millie is only taking "legit " cleaning jobs . After losing a well paid job, she puts in a ad for a new one . Soon after Millie gets a job offer from a well known CEO of a tech company . As she starts the job , Millie starts noticing weird things happening involving her employer's wife . 

I rated this book 5 stars . I really enjoyed how easy and fast this read was . The plot twist I didn't see coming . The heart racing ending . Even the romances on the side plot were enjoyable . I definitely recommend . 

Trigger /content warnings : domestic abuse , murder , mention of suicide and suicide ideation, cheating , fat phobia , eating disorders , and more .

I definitely enjoyed the first one more but this was still good. The begging was slow, and Millie’s attitude toward her relationship with Brock was just super annoying the entire time. However, the story has the same flow as the first book and it grabbed my attention once the action started.

I would agree with others that this can be read as a stand-alone but I would recommend reading book 1 first!
