I was up late last night finishing this book. It was like reading Goosebumps with my kids. Every chapter (which most were only a few pages long), left me hanging to turn the page and see what was going to happen next. Not my usual genre, I had to read it for Book Club, I'd classify it as "Creepy". I stopped trying to figure anything out, because every time tried, it definitely was not what I expected. I told my husband I would make a terrible detective! And I am going to make him read this one!

What fun! This is the 5th of McFadden's books that I have read and she has not disappointed me yet. This kept me turning pages (as all her books have). I love being inside the heads of her characters! This is a tale of suspense and surprises where everything may not be as it seems.

Not my genre, as we frequently hear. But oh, I couldn't stop reading until finished. Short, snappy chapters, twists and turns I never saw coming. I really loved this book and have already ordered the sequel.

At first I really liked the story, but it totally changes and becomes very creepy, and somewhat unrealistic.

I didn't realize until after reading a Housemaid book that it was a series. Of course, this most recent read was the first in the series; reading it does prove, you don't have to always read books in order to enjoy the read. As with the others, I read The Housemaid out loud to my husband, so we could both read the book. The story is a psychological thriller, and it did that to me; I kept worrying about what was happening to the characters and wondering who the real âbad guy' was. My husband is very âblack and white' and he felt quite a bit was overdone and unbelievable. If you like reading something that is not comforting, rather terrifying, and includes twists and turns you don't expect you may want to pick this one up.

Caught me off guard. At first seemed typical and then the switch, and the foreshadowing of the mother. Good read.

It kept my interest the whole time. A great book keeps the mystery alive. This one does not disappoint. Keep reading! You will never forget this one.
