About this deal

his presence alone had me screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain and it's 2am and i'm cursing your name, you're so in love that you act insane and that's the way i loved you. After thoroughly enjoying the first installment, I eagerly dove into this book, hungry for another whirlwind adventure in the world of Millie the maid. It just felt so authentic and added another layer of immersion to this novel for me being a New Yorker and all. Told through dual POVs, this domestic thriller has quite the dose of dark humor, yet also kept me on the edge of my seat. McFadden is truly making a name for herself and I look forward to reading every single thing she’s written and all her future novels.

She also juggles cleaning and nannying jobs that come her way through word-of-mouth recommendations. i sent my baby shei a picture of the goosebumps on my arm😭i had made a theory, but had forgotten about it because i really assumed i was wrong and when it happened i was freaking out as if i didn’t know it was going to happen…freida drives me crazy…a good crazy. wendy’s backstory, her tiresome plan, and her boring point of view) dragged on for so long, i was losing my fucking shit. But when she finds herself suddenly out of a job and hunting for a new employer, she realizes just how hard it will be to find a way to pay the rent.She doesn't share with her boyfriend, Brock, about her past because he is a successful attorney and afraid he will dump her. I love how all of her books are so fast-paced and addictive, you simply can’t put them down even if you tried. This book does work nicely as a standalone but reading the first book gives you more insight into Millie and her need to help others.

This sequel doesn't exactly continue from the end of the first novel, but provides enough of context to help us bridge to the events of this book. Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this one, it’s really well written and I love Millie’s character, however, it was pretty similar to the first book in so many ways.

But if you’re willing to throw out your suspension of disbelief, it’s still quite the chilling (and thrilling) tale.

Seasoned thriller readers may want less "telling of the plot" and more discovering of the reveal (at least i did), but we still get some major twists, a nail in the coffin moment and a lifetime movie end. she’s one of those dense people who would be dead by the opening of any horror movie because they weren’t smart enough to leave the danger behind, and kept purposely ignoring all the signs. After devouring the housemaid in one day I promptly downloaded the housemaids secret… to be honest I wasn’t expecting it to be as good but I haven’t got any work done or spoken to my family since picking it up.Furthermore, she embarks on a journey to become a more effective social worker by enrolling in social psychology classes at a community college to better assist those in need.
