the foreshadowing was very blatant but it was a surprise twist

with Nina actually being a victim and Andrew being abusive

I found that at times i didn’t want to read anymore because it was the same situation over and over (now i understand it was to drive home how the main character was feeling but it annoyed me) then other points i couldn’t put it down. It felt pretty stereotypical for the characteristics of every main character, like the stuck up PTA moms and the foreign gardener who doesn’t speak english. I would say this book was exciting for the revenge aspects and a good set up for the series, but i won’t be finishing the series. The author writes in a very easy to digest way while still keeping the descriptions detailed enough; i just find that this book didn’t make me feel good. It was like it was dark for the purpose of shock or to be dark while the happy endings were glossed over.

wowwwww is all i can say. i started listening to this a couple of days ago but since it was a slower start, i procrastinated a bit on it. today i listened to the entire rest of the book from chapter 7 to the end. what a wild ride. the mystery, the thrill, and each character’s depth immediately hooked me in. it was not predictable for me at all and had me on the edge of my seat. the narration was also done beautifully to enhance the story which was a big part of keeping my interest high. i felt like i was on a rollercoaster all the way up to the ending. freida writes in a way that captivates you and is never short of surprises up to the last sentence. i thoroughly enjoyed this story and can’t wait to get through the rest of the series. certainly a new favorite for me in the thriller genre!

The Housemaid (The Housemaid Book 1)
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the first thriller I have read in quite a while, and I genuinely feel like it was the perfect reintroduction to the genre. It was a fast paced, edge of your seat read. I won't say too much because I don't want to give any spoilers, but this book had me trying to figure out how it was going to end the whole time. It had so many reveals, twists, and turns that I was constantly thinking of different scenarios and avenues the plot could take, as well as possible outcomes/ending to the novel. I did find some of the plot a smidgen predictable, but it was still extremely enjoyable. I found the ending to be the perfect set-up to book 2, which I will absolutely be reading! If you are looking for an easy mystery/thriller this is it!
