It was an amazing experience reading this book. It was really really tense but I just feel the ending could have been better. Around 20-25 pages more could have been really effective in developing that effect on the reader

4.5

I really enjoyed this book and finished it in 2 days! It’s a great quick read that doesn’t require too much thinking.

I enjoyed how one of the topics discussed/utilized in the book was the gaslighting of men and making people think that women are crazy when it’s really their reality.

There were at times when I wish events were more intense, kind of like the level of “You” if that makes sense.

I wish the plot explored more of when Millie and Nina both realize they had both been locked up in the attic.

Overall, it’s a great suspense/thriller novel that isn’t too dark or unsettling! I would give it 4.5 stars

The first half annoyed the heck out of me. The characters are all awful, except Enzo. The second half was great

This is my second Frieda book and all I can say is wow! What a twist! I can honestly say I didn’t see it coming! 
Can’t wait to read the next book!

Oh damm. Oh DAMM. OH DAMM. This is awesome. Millie is an ex-con looking for a new job after she was fired from her last job. Nina Winchester is looking for a housekeeper to help cook and clean but, also look after her daughter Cecelia occasionally. As Millie spends more and more time in the house she realizes that the perfect Winchesters aren't so perfect. This book is the perfect mix of slow burn and engaging. The plot unfolds at a nice pace but leaves a lot for the ending climax. My only real issue with this is a level of predictability. Not sure if its my Criminal Minds addiction or what but, The first few chapters of character description and background told me all I needed to know.

Read in one day. Good premise and kept me interested. Was unsure about how the book was split up.
