The writing wasn't for me. Repetitive and overly descriptive of random objects. Everytime Millie picked up a phone I cringed.ย

What another fantastic psychological thriller !!ย
This books was so addictive I could not put it down. ย
We follow along with Millie as she begins her journey of being a housekeeper for the very wealthy Winchester family. ย Millie has a troubled past and really needs this job, but sheโs in for the ride of her life as she navigates the monster that is Nina Winchester, and soon realizes there is something more sinister happening. ย
I couldnโt help but see similarities in the first half of this book to the movie ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐จ, but it is much more dark.ย The twists and turns in this one keep coming and keep you guessing. ย
That is all I will say, as I donโt want to ruin too much.ย
This was a unique, exciting, edge of your seat thriller that you definitely need to grab! ย
And there is a sequel ๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ coming February 20th, 2023.

Listen, I tore through this book so fast and I hated it. I also couldnโt stop reading. Read if you like lukewarm feral women and donโt mind misogynistic portrayal of woman on woman hate. I might read the sequel.laurenhochschild's review against another edition
