The Housemaid | Freida McFadden

I'd been recommended to read this repeatedly, and it was reinforced at family Christmas so I put it on the list to be my first read of 2026. I didnt anticipate being quite so interested and reading it so fast.
Now to decide if I want to see the movie.

ferskner It's crazy how addicting this is! I held off for a long time and then was immediately swept in once I started. 3h

“Nothing brings people together better than death. It‘s like the sound of a high-pitched whistle for a dog that has strayed from its owner. When it happens, they always come.”

#Celebrate Day 3: An oceanic #Journey to witness the northern lights turned into a nightmarish near-death experience. A rare case of me enjoying the movie adaptation more than the book. Read this as part of my face to face book club who is hosting a netflix watch party instead of discussing the book next week in Dubai. Makes perfect sense, I thought. Book is paired with BJ‘s Dubai chocolate pizzookie and dubai chocolate espresso martini.

The momentum of this book was so slow. It just did not keep my interest, but I was halfway through and invested, so I decided to finish it. It does finally pick up towards the end, but by then for me, it was too late. A woman finds a mysterious book on a nightstand that she soon realizes is about her. Who wrote this book and how did it get there? The MCs life starts to unravel until the secrets of her past are revealed.

The Housemaid – Tome 1 tells the story of a young woman who works as a housemaid in a seemingly perfect home. Behind the clean rooms and luxury, dark secrets, lies, and disturbing behaviors slowly emerge. As she becomes more involved in the family‘s life, the tension grows until shocking revelations change everything. This first tome truly impressed me. The suspense kept me hooked until the very end.🫶🏻❤️#bookreview#reading

I hadn't updated my bracket since June so it took me a little while to figure out the rest of my favorites and find my 2025 winner.

#12BooksOf2025 @TheEllieMo

Forgot to do yesterday's, so here's both:
July: WIVES AND DAUGHTERS w/ the #hashtagbrigade and @BarkingMadread ... I don't think I ever would have read this without them! 🥳
August: THE CHATHAM SCHOOL AFFAIR: I definitely would not have read this if I hadn't been gifted this book by @TheLudicReader. Such a compelling read! 😍

TheEllieMo How lovely that shared and gifted reads have made your list of favourites. Reading is not the solitary experience some people think it is! 2d
dabbe @TheEllieMo So true! 🎯♥️🎯 1d
