I started this book yesterday and accidentally stayed up WAY too late last night because I had to finish it. This book is like if Behind Closed Doors and Gone Girl had a twisted, creepy baby. I was on edge from start to finish and truly struggled to put this book down. It was fast-paced, high stakes, everything you could want from a good thriller! Because I had read both books mentioned previously I could guess some of the plot twists in this book, but others took me by surprise. 

The Housemaid’s Secret has jumped up my TBR after reading this!
