I absolutely loved this book! It was just as good of not better then the original. Freida always manages to keep the plot twists coming and me guessing at what's going to happen

Very similar to the The Housemaid which I enjoyed so I liked this one too. They are definitely an escape from reality and sometimes a bit over the top, but that's what makes a quick and interesting read. It's strictly entertainment!

Definitely a page turner! I always love Freida’s twists, though I didn’t enjoy this book quite as much as the first.

This sequel is amazing! The Housemaid is one of my favorite books of all time and this completely did it justice and was even better somehow! I love the characters, the twists, the writing and how addicting it is! I literally couldn’t put it down until I was finished. This has suspense, mystery, some romance and more! It was everything I love in a book. I never read thrillers until I found Freida and now I devour every single one of her books. They are all amazing! I highly recommend this.

This book is fantastic!! It's the second in a series and is so well written that I truly had a hard time putting it down! Freida McFadden has a magical way of creating characters that you become so invested in and you find yourself fully engrossed in the twists and turns of her many exciting thrillers! Definitely give The Housemaid and The Housemaid's Secret a read! You won't be disappointed!!!

At this point, whatever Freida McFadden writes, I'm reading. After reading almost all of her books in six months, you'd think I'd get better at predicting the outcomes. NOPE, not a chance. The Housemaid's Secret brought my favorite characters back and just when I was almost disappointed how easy it was, it all flipped over and over again.

Why is this still so surprising to me? I am a huge movie buff and besides a few special films (No Way Out, Primal Fear), I'm always disappointed by the twists and underwhelmed by the outcomes. And, we all know the big blockbusters of the past have come and gone.

Getting back into reading in my fifties has been a great joy. When I'm not reading a Freida book, I'm usually not reading enough.

The Housemaid’s Secret is the sequel to The Housemaid by Freida McFadden. An author who took me by absolute storm in 2022 and has become an auto buy author for me!!!

If you’re looking for a binge worthy, fast paced, absolutely jaw dropping twist then look no further!! This is definitely a book that even though it’s a sequel it can very much be read as a standalone!! This book immediately sucked me in and had me listening at record speed! This amazing storyline with short chapters was the perfect blend!! I highly recommend!!

Thank you to the publisher who kindly gifted me an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review!!

5 amazingly well deserved stars!!

If you loved The Housemaid, you will be obsessed with The Housemaid’s Secret.

The Housemaid’s Secret is the highly anticipated sequel to Freida McFadden’s bestselling book, The Housemaid. Many times, I have found sequels are not as good as the original. This is NOT one of those times. From the very first sentence, it is clear that Freida has worked her signature magic and created yet another unputdownable psychological thriller. Millie is back with another job as a housemaid, this time employed by the Garricks. It doesn’t take Millie long to realize that there is more going on in their lavish penthouse than meets the eye and she is determined to make the guilty party pay. Freida McFadden has proven herself to be among the top psychological thriller authors writing today. The Housemaid’s Secret is sure to be another bestseller!

If you’re looking for a book that will grab you immediately, keep you enthralled throughout, and shock you to your core, your search has ended.

As always, Frieda wrote another amazing book. I was lucky enough to be one of the few that got to read this early. With all of Frieda’s stories, you think you know what will happen…. And then it takes a twist you never saw coming. I am not ashamed to say that my jaw has physically dropped while reading many of her books, this one included. I’m so happy we got to continue Millie’s story. Without any spoilers, what I can say is that you are in for a treat.

And be prepared to binge this book… or really any of her books… just as I do every time.

A brilliant sequel to the first book, The Housemaid's Secret has everything you could want from a book of this genre. Millie is back and has moved to a new city. She takes on a new cleaning job at the home of a wealthy couple where the wife is mysteriously absent despite being in the house. As always with McFadden's plots, everything is not as it seems! The writer has a great way of leading you in one direction to then swerve you off the path when you're least expecting it. Fast-paced and an easy read.

After reading The Housemaid, I knew I had to read The Housemaid's Secret. It did not disappoint! Fast pace, I could not put this book down. The twists and turns on the emotional rollercoaster is well worth the ride!!

What can I say Freida Mcfadden did it again! I loved it. This should definitely be made into a movie. Every time you think you know what’s going to happen or how it is going to end, a twist come. I enjoyed all the characters, but my favorite would definitely have to be Alonzo.

I just finished reading the prequel to this book and loved it so I was excited to know there is a follow-up. Really enjoyed it and like the previous book, it has plenty of twists and turns. I hope to read more of Millie!

This book was a 10/10! I’m of course a HUGE Freida fan, but this book was everything I’ve ever hoped for! I love a good psych thriller that keeps you guessing every single page turn!

This one is a must read. Really ALL of McFaddens books are must reads in my opinion. Waiting on Ward D with as much patience as I can.

I actually loved this sequel just as much, if not more than the first one! I have seen very popular authors come up with sequels to their biggest hit that I felt failed miserably at living up to expectations, but this definitely was worth the hype! I think it is extremely difficult to accomplish something like that, especially when the first book has so much success. I'd be happy if this story continued on, I think there is so much potential to continue on with Millie's story here!

You know how "Aliens" is better than "Alien"? And "Godfather II" is better than "Godfather"? Well, this sequel is, IMO, is better than the first one. Which is hard to imagine because "The Housemaid" is a brilliant book. But "The Housemaid's Secret" is just amazing and I enjoyed it even more. From beginning to end, the twists and turns were coming at me like pellets from a gun. I thought I had figured things out - and believe me, there are several things that you'll think you have figured out - but I was completely wrong. I was shocked that I was fooled so easily but McFadden is a genius at taking what you think you know and turning it into something that isn't even on the radar. Loved this book!

This is my third Freida book read and I'm still not getting what's next correctly. I think that is something an author can get my attention to read more of their books. Reading thriller and mystery genres are now my favourite reads in my early 30s.

I'm so lucky to be chosen to receive an ARC from Netgalley and my first time ever! So, thank you, Freida and Bookouture.

Since this is a sequel to the next adventure of Millie Calloway, I am so excited to be reading it. I'm curious about her life after the first book and what will she be like after helping out women as a housemaid. I am really looking forward to this book and what kind of twist Freida will give in this story.

What I like about this book is that there will be a returning character that pisses me off from the first chapter of book one but then is loved after the final reveal in the book. A lovely reunion it is! I also like that no sexual description in it and all are straight to the story. I am not really into flowery words anymore I'm more into the action of the story that connects.

Things that I didn't like in the book is Wendy but she helped me hooked into reading more pages by being the intriguing character in the story. Also, I did not like Brock hahaha!

Overall, I finished the book in a short time. As a slow reader and caught up with life, I am thrilled to be reading this book at the end of the day and after being in a book slump for a long time. I recommend this book to read for those who are in their reading book slump as well. Hope this helps.

I cannot say enough about this book. It was a roller coaster ride from start to finish.
I’m a big fan of this author and love every book I’ve read by her.
Her characters can be loved or hated or both.
What I enjoyed most about this book is that there’s a sequel to it.
Thank you for the opportunity to read and review it.
Kudos to readers that guess the ending!!!

If you enjoyed The Housemaid, you will absolutely enjoy The Housemaid's Secret. I was captured from the first page and couldn't wait to find out what was happening. Freida does it again with this amazing sequel!
