I'm sorry but Millie was just way to annoying in this book.
First of all, I felt so bad for Brock and it's clear she never liked him so why was she leading him on.
Then at a point she said she questioned whether Enzo was really trustworthy cause he beat a man half to death when she should definetely be the last person judging someone for that so I was really confused at where that even came from.
The ‘twists' were also really underwhelming and were not written well at all.
4.5* this writing style is so compelling and fast paced! Exactly what i needed to get me out of my slump
Really enjoyed this. The first one was superior. The very last twist, unnecessary.
this book totally takes me back to the exciting world of Bollywood thrillers from the 2000s. The level of drama in this book is off the charts! It's like a wild rollercoaster ride, one intense moment after another, leaving me speechless and completely puzzled. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of the delightfully crazy scenes. Who doesn't enjoy a little bit of delightful craziness, right?
Beginning was good, but I felt the second half very predictable, and very far fetched. I can usually let farfetched things go in thrillers, but this got too much.
I couldn't put this book down. jaw was dropped several times. I recommend reading this. Another favorite and can't wait for the 3rd book!
I definitely did not see that ending coming but I'm glad I waited a few months to read this sequel because I feel I would've gotten bored with the characters. I didn't even know a new one was out and now I'm glad I have a new story with Millie to read in the future!
A quick paced thriller of a book. McFadden does a great job of story building and feeding the reader crumbs of the mystery until BAM a twist and BOOM a turn. And suddenly everything knits together into a beautiful, twisted work of art.
Why was Millie so insufferable this book- where's the gaslight gatekeep girl boss
Iba con algo de miedo porque el primer libro me gustó mucho y tiene un final bastante cerrado, así que no sabía si este me iba a gustar tanto. Pero me equivoqué, la escritura de Freida es adictiva y super ligera. Y este segundo libro está al nivel del primero.
Everything I want in a mystery! Major twists and turns, under 350 pages and a bit of a thriller. Voted GoodReads Mystery/Thriller of the year 2023! David N.
I am on a book tour today for @freidamcfadden and @bookouture for the release of The housemaids Secret...
Millie has to get another job and pronto. She does not have the money to cover anything if she doesn't, so when Douglas Garrick calls her and calls her in for an interview, she cannot believe her luck.
She lands the housekeeper job and cleans an immaculate apartment for a woman she never sees... A woman Douglas claims is sick... Everything is perfect until the day Millie finds blood on the wife's nightgowns and Millie's protective instincts kick right back in.....
Oh I have missed MIllie. This sequel really lived up to the hype and I am so thankful I was part of this tour. First off I loved seeing where Millie had ended up and what she had been doing. She is fierce with a heart of gold and she is flawed in all the best ways that seeing her character develop was pure magic.
The plot was really very clever. I thought I knew what was going on and it turns out I was super wrong. This book had me whipped up harder than a tornado in the midwest. I had no idea where my feet were going to land and I loved every moment. I always enjoy a good roller coaster ride in my thrillers and Freida McFadden did not disappoint.
A page turning, heart thumping good read, you may want to have a glass of wine and shut your phone off for hours until you are done.
5 stars! Thank you @netgalley and #bookouture for my review copy! Out NOW!!

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE EPIDEMIC OF THIS HERE CRACK PIPE
read this in one day, it was very similar to the first book thats why its one star lower but still a crazy read as always. freida puts crack in those books.
The Housemaid's Secret karya Freida McFadden adalah sekuel dari novel thriller psikologis The Housemaid. Novel ini mengisahkan Millie, seorang wanita yang bekerja sebagai pembantu rumah tangga. Setelah melalui serangkaian kejadian yang mencekam di buku pertama, Millie menerima tawaran untuk bekerja di rumah seorang pasangan kaya yang tampaknya memiliki rahasia gelap.
Millie kini bekerja sebagai pembantu rumah tangga untuk seorang ahli teknologi kaya dan istrinya yang tertutup. Namun, saat dia semakin dalam menggali peran barunya, Millie menemukan jaringan rahasia dan kebohongan yang mengancam untuk mengungkap fasad keluarga yang dibangun dengan hati-hati.
Karakter Millie yang cerdas dan pemberani membawa pembaca terlibat dalam konflik psikologis serta ketegangan. McFadden juga menyoroti tema kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dan bagaimana seseorang mencoba mencari kebebasan dari situasi berbahaya.
Meskipun beberapa pembaca mungkin menganggap plotnya agak mudah ditebak, narasi yang cepat dan karakter yang menarik membuat The Housemaid's Secret menjadi bacaan yang berharga bagi penggemar thriller psikologis.
A fantastic book. I even liked it better than the first one. I knew there will be crazy plot twists, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find out how everything sorted out.
