The Housemaid (The Housemaid Book 1)
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was the first thriller I have read in quite a while, and I genuinely feel like it was the perfect reintroduction to the genre. It was a fast paced, edge of your seat read. I won't say too much because I don't want to give any spoilers, but this book had me trying to figure out how it was going to end the whole time. It had so many reveals, twists, and turns that I was constantly thinking of different scenarios and avenues the plot could take, as well as possible outcomes/ending to the novel. I did find some of the plot a smidgen predictable, but it was still extremely enjoyable. I found the ending to be the perfect set-up to book 2, which I will absolutely be reading! If you are looking for an easy mystery/thriller this is it!
⚠️Warning⚠️
