I devoured this book in just a couple of hours. Seriously, is there anything better than a good thriller?

Millie’s fresh out of prison and on the job hunt like there's no tomorrow. She lands an interview for the live-in housemaid gig with the Winchesters and quickly moves into their attic, thinking she's struck gold. But soon, things take a turn, and this dream job becomes more of a nightmare.

This book had me hooked from the very start. Sure, it had some predictable bits, but I couldn't put it down. I was dying to find out what was really happening.

All in all, it's a compelling, quick read that I'd definitely recommend if you're in a reading slump. It's a real page-turner!
