secondhandbookshelves 's review for:

The Housemaid's Secret by Freida McFadden
2.0
dark slow-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I decided 8 pages in I despise Millie....which is, of course, a disappointment because the entire book is from her point of view (until the twist is revealed and the "How to" portion of these books are reached)

She is a whiny, repetitive, awkward person and I do not enjoy how everything is spelled out through her. multiple times. In case you didn't catch it the first time she said it.

The twist was a little more expected this time since this is my second book by this author, but still well enough done & I hadn't guessed all of it. The secondary twist WAS a surprise. 
The ending was not & sets it up for more sequels.

Not as impressed this time around & Don't think I'll be picking up more from this author in the near future.
