Easy five stars!!

This book honestly blew me away, but I’m having trouble writing a detailed review, because I don’t want to give ANYTHING away! It was so easy to read, it was suspenseful, and there were twists I didn’t expect.

The book follows the story of Millie, a convicted felon who has recently been released from jail, desperate for a job. Despite her past, Millie is shocked to be hired by a wealthy family as their housemaid. Millie assumes Nina must have surpassed her background check, but could she really be so lucky? Millie is in for a shock when she finds out why she was truly hired.

About halfway through the book, it seemed like the storyline was almost over, and I wondered how that could possibly be, when I still had so much of the book left. Oh, let me tell you, it was NOT almost over.

The first half of the book is told primarily from Millie’s point of view, but once this first plot twist takes place, it switches to Nina’s for a while. I will warn you, at one or two points the storyline becomes a bit gruesome, but it is so worth the ick. The entire storyline comes together perfectly and was SO well executed. Freida McFadden is a genius, and her writing style is intriguing and so easy to read.

I actually didn’t know this was the first of a trilogy when I bought it, and I’m KICKING myself for not buying the next book at the same time.

HIGHLY recommend. Really, I cannot stop telling all of my friends they have to read this book. Please read it, you won’t regret it.
