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.
