Book Review: The Housemaid
Personal Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5 stars) The suspense builds up really well. Right out of the first few chapters, I felt just as uncomfortable as Millie and everything screams ‘something’s not right.’ The plot twist in the middle made me gasp and it kept me at the edge of my seat. To top… Continue reading

Book Review: When He Was Wicked
Personal Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5 out of 5 stars) I would definitely read it again as a standalone. It’s just so well executed. All the complicated feelings and their resolution were executed flawlessly. I thought by book six in the series it would start going downhill as that’s how sequels usually go. I am more than… Continue reading
