The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.

I guess I'm not like all the other girlie's? I was not enjoying my time with this. I guess psycho rich people just aren't my thing.

Chefs kiss good. I ended up really enjoying this one. Great gothic vibes with a swoon worthy romance. I loved the chemistry between Corvina and Vad. There were some really good lines that will stay with me. The mystery was also pretty good. A couple things here and there that didn't make a lot of sense, but overall, I had a great time.

I ate this book up! I really do love Sophia Lark's writing. She knows how to suck you in and make a book oh so binge worthy.

Welp I want to love this series, but so far that's not working out for me. I liked the first half more than the second half. It was predictable and slowwwww.

I just was not enjoying my time. The characters were very meh and I didn't like the writing style at all.

I really do love this series. The way every book has flowed into the next. The cast of characters both new and old. There were great action scenes and human togetherness and conflict. I felt like there were some slow points, and that's the only thing that knocked the book down a little for me.

I really enjoyed this book. There was a pretty good balance between back story and present. Annie was such a good character. She used her brain and made smart decisions throughout that led to her figuring things out in a natural way that didn't feel forced. Which to me was refreshing. The conclusion made sense, and you saw where all the clues throughout pulled together at the end.
