"Welcome to the family," Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway.
Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like.
Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.
I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how Andrew, her husband, seems more broken every day.
But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
I soon learn that the Winchesters' secrets are far more dangerous than my own...
I try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon found out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late.
I reassure myself though: the Winchesters don't know who I really am.
They don't know what I'm capable of...
My Opinion
The Housemaid by Freida McFadden is an absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you hooked till the end. With every page, my heart was racing, thinking, what is going to happen next? The book is one of the best thrillers written to date. Each character has their own voice, and you are going to love them. Andrew was just brilliant, but Millie was mind-blowing. The climax was just wonderful. Reading the book was an adrenaline rush. With every word, my heart literally jumped from my mouth, and by the time I reached the end, it nearly stopped beating. If you are looking for a book with a fast and addictive plot, then this one is for you. The book definitely deserves 5 stars.
