I enjoyed this book 8.5☆. At first, I wanted more drama earlier on, but you needed the build-up first to understand the twists and turns and the ending.. and then, just as you thought it had all come together, there was another twist. I enjoyed learning about Millie and her family, and again, I liked/disliked the characters in a good way. I would recommend this one and the first book as the best ones.
The Housemaid Is Watching by Freida McFadden is a pulse-pounding thriller that drags you into a web of lies, obsession, and revenge—where nothing is as it seems, and no one is safe. With shocking twists, chilling suspense, and a jaw-dropping ending, The Housemaid Is Watching will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, haunting page.
I wanted to love it, I really did. Millie...girl....let me hold your hand when I say this... WAKE TF UP!!! I think everyone in this book needed a slap in the face and to get a grip.

Frida must've forgotten to write the part where Enzo falls down a flight of stairs and forgets who Millie is cuz ??? Why are you hiding that you're helping the housemaid next door escape and lie about to to the person who you've done that 100 times with?
Blood pressure my ass
Also why was the flirting cheating thing never explained. I feel like that had the potential to really take it somewhere interesting but it just died as soon as Enzo revealed what he had actually been doing. Esp when Suzanne mentioned the thing about their marriage being only about the kids? Like?? That was so insanely out of pocket then shrugged off. It feels like that was the og plot then Frida just took a complete right turn and dropped everything she set up for the story line.
Also the leash kid? Is he ok? Why was he emaciated and wearing a wool sweater in the summer?
I just hate plot holes sm so that bothers me.
If this series continues I hope Ada grows up to be wiser and more bad ass than her mom.
