I put a hold on this book with the library within minutes of finishing book 1. I was that blown away.

This is not a repeat of book 1. This is a whole new twist! 

Millie is back at it, cleaning houses for those employers who don't bother to do a background check, and when she ends up with the Garricks, it's cleary very early on that SOMETHING is going on. 

After reading the first book, The Housemaid, I had an idea of what to expect from the sequel. But I had no clue how the author could do it again. We saw what Millie was capable of, we saw what situations she was put in, but...what could POSSIBLY happen next to top that?

Oh boy. I didn't know the treat I was in for. And I can't tell you without ruining the entire book. Just know this - if you loooooved the twist in The Housemaid, you will be over the moon for the twist in The Housemaid's Secret! 

Now I just have to bide my time until book 3, The Housemaid is Watching, releases in June. (Unless NetGalley approves my request for an ARC? Crossing my fingers!)
