Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And 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 her husband Andrew 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 only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late.

But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am.

They don't know what I'm capable of...

Quick, easy read with a twist.

Quick, easy read with a twist.

Good read. Nothing too exciting and thrilling.

This is a good easy read overall. The story is not complicated or that thrilling in the end, the twist are what saved this book for me in the end.

Very predictable

I felt that this book was very predictable; just like most thriller novels.

Amazing suspense! A pleasure to read! I want more!

This was the first book from this author that I've read. It is such a fast paced, easy read I am looking forward to more from her. Plot is wild. Characters fabulous. Love love love love this book. The way she writes just makes it so easy to keep reading. Thrillers and suspense are my genre and she delivers!!!!!

Fantasy.

Not for me. Domestic violence books are prevalent right now. Whole new genre of social problems. New look at problem about 3/4 through had my attention. But the ending fell flat for me.

Couldn't put it down!

1st book I have read it quite awhile. Couldn't put it down. Highly recommend. Can't wait to start the next one.

Very good

This book kept showing up on the different book apps so I eventually bought it and dang it was a good read.

Suspense from the beginning to end

Wow!!! is all I can say. So many surprises, I couldn't put it down.

You Are Not Prepared

Oh my gawdddd. I loved this book so much. It’s not at all what I expected! You think you know the plot, but no! Reconsider what you think you know. This book is so well written. Throughout the pages I’m learning to be more empathetic and bam, the next page shows me just how much empathy I’m missing. It’s eye opening and invigorating. Every person should have this book on their shelves. This is truly a stroke of genius. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book.

Worst Book Ever

Honestly did not like this book at all. It is the first new book I have thrown in the trash. The beginning chapters were somewhat interesting. As the chapters filled with torture sequences, I just got grossed out. The story could have been written without the locked closet attic room...

Absolutely Captivating

If you love a psychological thriller with twists and turns, leaving you on the edge of your seat, you'll want to read The Housemaid. Freida McFadden did an excellent job keeping me engaged and leaving me wanting more with each page. 10/10!

This book will not disappoint.

Ooh my God. This is the first time that I have ever read a book by Freida McFadden and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The book was suspenseful, thrilling, surprising, funny and held my attention all the way through. I purchased the book to take on a cruise but I finished reading it before we left. I purchase part 2 can't wait to see how it ends.
