The Housemaid
By Freida Mcfadden
Review:
⭐⭐⭐/5
I read this one with the @thrillerbooksandcoffeebookclub
I was behind all month, but I did finish it within 2 days of the group "deadline" 😂 I love our little book club.
Did I love this one? No, but I will say it was much better than I anticipated it being.
All of the characters annoyed me. Every. Single. One. So, I didn't really get invested with any of them.
I will say it was a fun ride in some parts even if it was somewhat predictable.
I thought I had it all figured out in the first few chapters. And I sort of did, but it went in a slightly different direction than I initially thought.
I thought in the beginning, both the husband and wife were in cahoots together and were going to hold the "housemaid" prisoner and "breed" her. My story would have definitely went in a more horror-centric direction 😂
This isn't a spoiler because that is NOT what happened.
This felt like a classic LMN domestic thriller. Y'all remember LMN (Lifetime Movie Network)?
This isn't really my "cup of tea" or a book I would chose to rrad on my own, but I don't regret reading it. For the story itself I give it 3 stars because the last part had some major redeeming parts.
