I used to love this series but I’ve been slowly falling out of love with it and I think this will probably be the last one I read. I’m definitely in the minority with this review but I really struggled to get through this one. I wouldn’t recommend reading this as a standalone because there are way too many characters to keep track of if you haven't read the rest of the series. Even I struggled to remember who was who sometimes.

My main gripe with this book was the dialogue came across as awkward. Everyone seemed to talk to the other charcters as if they were stupid. They all work in similar roles and don’t need the basics explaining as if they are naughty children. It was just weird. Jenna and Dave are also an odd couple. I feel like they were more coupley before they got together than they are now. As for the murder, the hunt was intriguing and I didn’t guess the killer but the ending wasn’t very satisfying. It felt rushed and kind of incomplete. It's not a bad read, just not for me. But if you love the series then you should probably still check it out because as I said, I seem to be one of the very few who didn’t enjoy it as much as the other books.

This book was such a great read. As a horse girl I loved the horsey element. It was done so well and you could really experience the barn atmosphere and the horse world. Emily and Justin were great characters but there were some incredible side characters. Lottie and Dean were hilarious and I need Lottie as my hype girl. I was expecting the murder part of this to be an easy whodunnit but it still had twists and turns. The romance element balanced with the murder perfectly and the dual POV kept me hooked until the very dramatic end. It did feel like Justin was declaring his love when they barely knew each other and had only actually spent a few hours together but whats a romcom without instant love. It was a nice easy read and I will definitely be checking out more from this author.

This is book 2 in the housemaid series and I feel like everyone and their mum has read book 1. I have to say I didn’t love this one as much. It was still a great read but I found Millie frustrating. Considering everything she went through in book one I questioned some of her actions. I did also see the main twist coming. However, I got way more invested in part 2. I love the different parts and perspectives these books offer and it definitely made the story so much better. There are also several twists and turns to keep you hooked until the ever dramatic ending. Highly recommend this series but you need to read them in order.

I loved this book. It was funny, had a touch of spice and the romance was cute. Both Logan and Clare were such lovable characters and their banter was great. I also really enjoyed the friendships and seeing them both interact with each others friends. There were so many great side characters as well as some villains. The dual POV had me hooked and I loved getting to see both sides. The 3rd act breakup due to miscommunication was predictable and my least favourite part but I enjoyed the rest of the book enough to let it slide. I will definitely be checking out more from this author

This is such a great creepy series. The scene setting is done so well and you can really picture Slayton and feel how eerie it is. The creepiness of the town definitely adds to the suspense of the crimes. I also love seeing more of the recurring characters. It was nice to see Sarah seem more sure of herself in this book and a certain development in her personal life was adorable. The case of the baby bones was heartbreaking and it just got sadder the more information was uncovered. It was written so well though. I also wasn’t expecting anything about that ending. My only criticism was the ending felt a bit rushed and it was all wrapped up so quickly. I also struggle with the obsession with Elsie’s weight and how it feels like people respect her more now that she’s losing weight. Her character is lovable and interesting without her weight constantly being mentioned.
