Lots of triggers in this book. It was torture reading it. The world is dark enough to invite this type of darkness into your life while reading. I wonโ€™t read anything else like this book if I can suss it out before I start.

<spolier> poor CeCe. Everyone else was an absolute bellend. He's abusive because he was abused? Piss off. What was the weird bigotry towards Enzo

The writing wasn't for me. Repetitive and overly descriptive of random objects. Everytime Millie picked up a phone I cringed.

I picked this up immediately after finishing ๐™‰๐™š๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง ๐™‡๐™ž๐™š and I think it is safe to safe Freida McFadden is now an auto buy author. 

What another fantastic psychological thriller !! 
This books was so addictive I could not put it down.  

We follow along with Millie as she begins her journey of being a housekeeper for the very wealthy Winchester family.   Millie has a troubled past and really needs this job, but sheโ€™s in for the ride of her life as she navigates the monster that is Nina Winchester, and soon realizes there is something more sinister happening.  

I couldnโ€™t help but see similarities in the first half of this book to the movie ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™‰๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฃ๐™ฎ ๐˜ฟ๐™ž๐™–๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™จ, but it is much more dark.  The twists and turns in this one keep coming and keep you guessing.  

That is all I will say, as I donโ€™t want to ruin too much. 
This was a unique, exciting, edge of your seat thriller that you definitely need to grab!  

And there is a sequel ๐šƒ๐š‘๐šŽ ๐™ท๐š˜๐šž๐šœ๐šŽ๐š–๐šŠ๐š’๐šโ€™๐šœ ๐š‚๐šŽ๐šŒ๐š›๐šŽ๐š coming February 20th, 2023.
