Freida McFadden is my go-to author guy and after reading The Housemaid, I have always wanted to read more of her books. Here is the list of my personal favorite Freida McFadden books.
1 The Housemaid
My all time favorite Freida McFadden book which actually got me into reading more of her books. Always be no. 1 of Freida McFadden best books.
2. Never Lie
I devoured this book in 24 hours–this book was SO good and I actually loved it. Hopefully, this book will be made into a movie soon.
3. Housemaid’s Secret
This is the second book of the Housemaid series and though not good as the first one, still it was gripping and really good.
4. One by One
This is my other favorite book of Freida McFadden. Kind of made me scared to sleep without lights on 😦
5. The Locked Door
This book as serial killer concept in it and again, this is one of my favorite Freida McFadden books.
6. Ward D
The fact that this was based in a mental hospital and the doctor working at the night shift made the whole story scary to read and intriguing to read.
7. Do Not Disturb
This was just a wow book, with twists and turns and the ending was super unexpected I couldn’t put the book down
8. Dear Debbie
Her latest book which was released this year. Unlike the previous books which was released the last few years, this book was better–it was funny and enjoyable to read
9. The Teacher
Kind of a disturbing thriller but twists and turns in this book was crazy
And the last but not least
10. The Housemaid Watching
The 3rd and final book of the Housemaid series. Not as good as the previous two books but still, this book kept me to the toes.
Quick Review–overall, the story is poorly executed, pacing was slow and there is lack of suspense in the book
Rating:- 2.5/5
I survived. He died. And now someone wants me to pay…
When I spot I’m in row 13 on the flight, I barely notice. I’m not superstitious. But then I am offered the window seat by a stranger with melting brown eyes and no wedding ring. As we begin to chat, I find myself drawn to him. I never imagined that just half an hour later, I’d be clutching his hand, passengers screaming around us as our plane plummets terrifyingly through the night sky…
Months later I’m trying to make a fresh start as the only survivor of the crash. My brand-new apartment should feel like a haven for me but I’m still jumping at every noise, frightened to confide in my new neighbors. My therapist tells me this is normal, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not alone in my new home.
Then the notes begin. Notes that say It should have been you. You weren’t meant to survive. I think back to the stranger on the plane, who seemed to be just a nice, uncomplicated man. I remember his last words, lost under the roar of the failing engines. ‘There’s something I need to tell you. Look out for—’
If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be alive. But is he the reason I am in terrible danger now?
A completely gripping and unputdownable thriller that will have you turning pages deep into the night. Fans of The Silent Patient and Jeneva Rose will be completely hooked on The Woman in Seat 13.
When I saw Ellie Midwood is writing a new psychological thriller, I was surprised and immediately want to read it. I have read Ellie Midwood books before and most of them are historical fiction and I love reading her historical fiction novels as I just enjoy her writing style and how she makes people engage into the story. I was having high hopes in this books, thinking maybe this would live up to my expectations.
But the book did not actually live up to my expectations.
The story starts with Jessie boarding a plane, excited for the vacation. When one of the passengers refuse to allow Jessie’s dog to sit with her, a business class passenger Leonardo asks Jessie to come to business class to sit with him. But then the joy is short lived and the plane crash occurs and Jessie is the only survivor in the plane. Now months later, Jessie is trying to move on with her new life–she has bought a new apartment, she is seeing a therapist and she is running a therapy office with her friend Mira. But then Jessie starts receiving notes–threatening her, saying that Jessie should have died in that plane crash. Jessie remembered Leandro was going to tell her something but Jessie couldn’t actually remember what it was. Someone wants Jessie dead.
The plot was great and unique. However, I didn’t like how the story was executed. The pacing overall was slow, the quiet frankly, there is lack of suspense in the book, despite being a psychological thriller. No twists or turns like you would expect in a thriller, and it’s as if the whole story is like Jessie is sweet and nice and the author was too busy portraying Jessie as a nice and sweet person instead of building tension. Ellie Midwood is a great writer as I have read her books before but this book I hate to say wasn’t her greatest. Maybe, she should instead write historical fiction.
Anyway, the book is OK and worth 2.5 stars.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The rview is based on my honest opinion only.

gory and disturbing images of killing
A feminist slasher novel fueled by female rage and haunted by gruesome murders, in this contemporary reimagining of Tess of the D’Urbervilles there can only be one Final Girl.
Darcy and her high school friends haven’t gathered together in seven years. After a tragic murder on prom night, the group graduated and never looked back. But when the lakeside cabin they spent their summers at is put up for sale, they reunite for one last hurrah.
Darcy hopes it will be an inspiring weekend that will help them all move on from their shared trauma. But Ashley, her biggest tormentor and the group’s manipulative self-appointed leader, is sure to stir up trouble. After a first day filled with jealousy, heartbreak, and unexpected guests, tensions are bursting, and the feud between Darcy and Ashley resurfaces.
The reunion takes a sinister turn when a masked killer slaughters one of their own. Cut off from the outside world with the death toll rising fast, the terrified friends turn on each other and uncover long buried secrets. Someone is seeking justice for their past betrayals and with friends like these no one is safe in this dark-femme slasher for fans of Maeve Fly by CJ Leede and The Indian Lake Trilogy by Stephen Graham Jones.
Darcy and her high school friends, Ashley, Nate, Lettie, Spence and Kai all gathered together for a union at the cabin before the cabin went up for sale. Many years ago, a murder happened which changed their lives and one of them ending up in a mental institute. Now they are all united except Ashley brings her girlfriend Su-Ahm while Nate brings Eliza who is the sister of Tessa who was involved in that incident years ago.
Truth to be told, I had high hopes for this book. I really thought this book is going to be interesting, gory and intriguing, like one of those slasher movies in 80’s and 90’s you have watched. But to be honest, this book is OK–it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as great as I thought it would be.
There are multiple POVs–we have Darcy, who happened to be the main character, Su-Ah who is Ashley’s girlfriend, Ashley and Eliza. To me, I didn’t like any of these characters. The plot was great but the execution of the plot wasn’t that great. This was slow burn and it took me some time for me to really get into the story. I really wish the author has described more in detail about what really happened on the prom night where one of their friends actually killed someone brutally. The ending was actually predictable but the ending would have been more satisfying if everyone dies in the end and someone else not connected to the story discovers the body. This book wasn’t as dark and scary as I thought it should, by the title.
Will I read more books from this author? Probably. Would like to read more books from this authort and would like to give another chance. Worth 3 stars.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
Quick Review:- Though the first few chapters were boring, the momentum starts to build towards the middle of the book–lots of twists and turns by the middle of the book and the ending was completely unexpected
Rating:- 4.5/5
The Sunday Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ugly is back with a psychological masterpiece that will leave you questioning everything you know about love, identity, and revenge.
Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into, Spyglass, an enchanting old house in Hope Falls, nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that the stranger is his wife.
One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.
Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner called Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person’s date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel, and as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.
My Husband’s Wife is a tangled web of deception, obsession, and mystery that will keep you guessing until the last page. Prepare yourself for the ultimate mind-bending marriage thriller and step inside Spyglass – if you dare – to experience a story where nothing is as it seems.
Alice Feeney is always my go to thriller author–I always make sure to buy all her latest books. My Husband’s Wife was released this year and I have to say, this was an unexpected book.
We have a woman named Eden Fox who goes for running around Hope Falls, where she and her husband had recently moved to. But when returned home, she finds out that the house locks have changed, and a woman, who looked eerily similar to her appearance answers the door. The woman says that her name is Eden Fox. Eden tries to call her husband Harrison but Harrison pretends that he doesn’t know her and acknowledges the strange woman as his wife. Eden, wondering what was going on leaves the house but was determined to prove herself who she was but someone wants her dead…
Birdy is being diagnosed with cancer and she has only certain number of days to live. She gets a surprise visit from a solicitor who tells her that her grandmother had died and left her a house in Hope Falls for her to inherit. Birdy moves to Hope Falls and meets Seargeant Carter. Hope Falls is free from crime and Carter is determined to keep Hope Falls that way. But then a woman’s body is washed up ashore and the woman might be the missing Eden Fox.
This was a fast-paced thriller. The story is told in the POVs of Birdy, we also have POV of Eden and Carter and Harrison. At first, you feel like there are two different stories going on but then it was towards the middle of the book where things start getting more intriguing and interesting. There were so much of twists and turns and you see that the narrators are all unreliable with a secret that they are hiding, which makes the story more interesting. The ending had the most biggest twist and most unexpected ending I ever had. It was I felt like WTF moment when the ending was revealed, revealing the connection with what thought of as two different stories.
Alice Feeney wrote so many twisty thrillers and this book is exception. I would give this book a five star rating.
Quick Review–as usual, it was fast-paced with some twists and turns, the ending was quiet unexpected though
Rating:- 4/5
Sometimes, enough is enough…
Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all of her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighborly advice. Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction.
Or at least, she did.
These days, Debbie’s life seems to be spiraling out of control. She just lost her job. Something strange is happening with her teenage daughters. And her husband is keeping secrets, according to the tracking app she installed on his phone. Now, Debbie’s done being the bigger person. She’s done being reasonable and practical. It’s time to take her own advice.
And now it’s time for payback against all the people in her life who deserve it the most.
From #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a biting, subversive thriller about what happens when women finally choose to take justice into their own hands – with killer results.
I ALWAYS make sure to read all Freida McFadden books, including her latest ones. Dear Debbie is her latest novel, which was released this year.
Debbie Mullen works as a columnist for a local newspaper in the town where she writes a column named Dear Debbie. Women send messages and seek advice from Debbie on how to repair or get away from their marriage. Debbie helps them to sort out their issues and sometimes she end up giving sinister advice.
Then Debbie gets fired from her job and she soon notices her daughters are behaving strangely. Even her own husband, seem to be mysteriously disappearing to somewhere and she cannot track him down through the tracking app she had made. Debbie will do anything–including murder to protect her loved ones.
This was intense. As usual, McFadden’s books are fast paced and this book is no exception. It was fast-paced, it was tiny bit disturbing. The story is mainly told in Debbie’s POV but we have Cooper, who is Debbie’s husband’s POV as well, and as well as a woman named Harley who reportedly is cheating with Cooper. Debbie seem to want to take revenge on the people who belittle her and her family. Debbie also had a traumatic experience that made her drop out of MIT and still dealing with that experience. There were twists and turns and the ending of the story was quiet unexpected though unreliastic in my opinion as well.
I feel her writing style is the same and the story is easy to follow and read. She will be releasing another novel this year.

Quick Review:- I know a Place is a collection of short dark horror stories. While some stories did give you jump scare and made you feel like you are on the edge of the seat, some of the horror stories are OK and maybe little boring. However, overall, this is a highly entertaining horror book you can read in one go
Rating-; 4/5
-Gory and bloody scenes that maybe disturbing to some readers
-disturbing deaths
A diabolical, haunting, and unforgettable horrorshort story collection from USA TODAY bestselling author Nat Cassidy, featuring his unique blend of gleefully terrifying fiction, and including his Bram Stoker Award–nominated novella Rest Stop.
There are locations in this world where the light doesn’t seem to reach. Where, no matter how illuminated the place might be, shadows creep in too strongly to fight back.
A suspiciously empty gas station rest stop in the middle of the night, littered with googley eyes… A doctor’s office, where a bottle of booze and a tear-stained folder wait on the desk… A tech millionaire’s haunted kitchen… A Bible-quoting ventriloquist’s dingy apartment… A yoga retreat in the middle of the desert, silent except for the screaming…
These supernatural and sinister locations are your destination, and bestselling author Nat Cassidy will be your guide. Featuring the Bram Stoker Award–nominated, critically acclaimed novella Rest Stop (one of Esquire’s Best Horror Books of 2024), along with a number of other original short stories, some which have never been published before, I Know A Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours is a travelogue down twisting side streets and through alleyways where the darkness has eyes…and teeth.
Let’s hope you make it home in one piece—if the ghosts, gory visions, and splatterpunk nightmares don’t get you first.
I Know a Place is a collection of short horror stories with supernatural and gory scenes. ThIs is the first time I am reading from this author and I actually quiet enjoyed this book. Some short stories I actually enjoyed but other stories were slightly confusing or I didn’t take much notice of that story.
Here are the short stories I liked
Rest Stop – this is a story about a musician who is on the road and pulls into a gas station. He notices that despite there are vehicles on the the parking lot, the gas station is empty. Then this musician gets the worst nightmare of his life when he gets trapped inside the convenience store, fights off with poisonous spiders and snake and then survived (almost survived) from a deranged serial killer. The atmosphere was tense and scary and I felt like I was on the edge as I read this story.
Meet-Cute #1: The Unluckiest Girl – A man and a woman meet up at the bar and complain about the whole world. The greatest twist was revealed at the end when the man’s last name was mentioned and that woman was really the unluckiest girl in the world (clue–the name is a real name of a real life serial killer)
Generation- this short story is about a gynecologist who had to deal with breaking the news to the parents about the fundamental changes in pregnancies. Not much horror and the story was bit vague which surprisingly I liked it.
Nice- an elf asks a child to become naughty for the Christmas so that the Santa wouldn’t bring any presents as the elf is tired of walking carrying the presents. But the child takes too far and the elf realizes his gravest mistake. A kind of a disturbing horror short.
Laughlines- this is by far my favorite short in the whole book. A girl goes to England to find her biological father but then ends up in a creepy palace with a dark story. Like the format how it was written in the form of email and the twist at the end was unexpected.
Come- a story of a cursed sex-tape going around in high school where whoever watches the tape and have sex later dies in the end. It was kind of funny although the horror element is interesting.
The rest of the other short stories, it was either I didn’t really understand the ending or I didn’t really like the ending much.
Overall, this is a great collection of short horror stories that is mixed with supernatural and gory elements and sometimes there are funny parts in the book as well. If you are looking for a perfect book to read Halloween, check this book out! Overall, this is a four star read!

Quick Review:- a fast paced thriller and a page turning thriller. The ending was quiet unexpected as it divides between past that happened in 1999 to the present.
Rating:- 4 stars
A dinner party in a beautiful Notting Hill townhouse turns into a sinister game, as six old friends are forced to spill their darkest secrets…or else.
Six friends reunite in London to celebrate the life of their recently deceased ex-employer, a professor that brought them together in 1999 to help build a dating website based on psychological testing.
But what is meant to be a night of bittersweet nostalgia soon becomes a twisted and deadly game when the old friends find themselves held at gunpoint. They are given an ultimatum: reveal their darkest secrets to the group or pick each other off one-by-one.
It soon becomes clear that their current predicament is related to their shared past. The love questionnaire they helped develop in 1999 for the dating site was also turned into a tool for weeding out The Wasp Trap. This and the other tragic events of that summer long ago may help reveal the truth behind a killer hiding in plain sight.
Alternating between the past and present with a colorful ensemble of characters, The Wasp Trap is a fast-paced and twisty thrill ride that is perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and Alice Feeney.
Will gets invited to a dinner party at Notting Hill to celebrate and remember their deceased professor, Professor Sebastian. As they share their memories, they soon get locked inside the house was forced to play a sinister game. Out of the six guests, one of them is holding a deep dark secret. The secret goes back to the time in 1999 when all the six guests were students and used as test subjects for Professor’s experiment and one of them ends up getting killed…
The story is told in multiple POVs–we have the main protagonist Will, the story shifts back and forth from the present day to 1999. We also have Mia who was apparently hiding inside the house even though her parents believe that she has gone out. We know most of the characters are unreliable characters including Will and we are all curious as readers to see what the secret was about. The whole story was fast paced and there were some twists and turns in the book and the ending was quiet unexpected.
Overall, this is the first book I have read of Mark Edwards and looking forward to read more books from this author.

Domestic abuse, murder
My job as a waitress means I’m used to watching everything – and used to lying. Soon I’m posing as someone’s girlfriend… But what does he really want from me?
When I slip on my waitress’s uniform I become a different person. And I’m good at what I do. I instantly identify Trent as the most important man in the room, and I catch his eye as I serve canapes to his rich clients. We share a little smile… and later that evening, he asks me to pretend to be his girlfriend.
Of course I accept. It’s the perfect way for me to escape my own past. He just needs me to watch certain people. It seems easy.
Soon I’m living in his opulent home, wearing a new wardrobe of designer clothes. Then I discover there was a woman here before me. Saskia. Nobody will talk about her…
Suddenly I don’t feel safe anymore. If I leave, I’m no longer protected. But if I stay here, in this silent apartment of secrets, will anyone miss me if I disappear?
A completely compelling and twisty page-turner from number 1 bestselling author K.L. Slater. Fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden will be hooked by The Waitress.
The Waitress is K.L. Slater’s latest book which will be released this month. K.L. Slater is one of the psychological thriller authors that I would definitely read on the whim. She has many books that will keep you on the edge with twists and turns. But her latest book, the Waitress, unfortunately did not live up to my expectations.
Alicia is working as a waitress for an event at Orbit in London. She gets fired from her job but a handsome man named Trent, who claims to own the Orbit. Trent hires her promising her to pay an exorbitant amount for her job–her job is to spy on the man named Steve Brett. Alicia agrees with the job, as she has always dreamed of providing better life for her son Brody and sister Jen. But there’s a problem–Brett also had hired Alicia to spy on Trent. But unlike Trent, Brett has threatened Alicia that if she failed to do her job, he will use any force by means to attack her son and her sister.
This wasn’t boring per-se. The story is fast paced and not boring but I didn’t really like the plot of it. This felt more like an action thriller than a psychological thriller. While in most psychological thrillers, you have unexpected twists and turns and an unexpected turn, this doesn’t really seem to have that much of twists and turns and the who-dunnit part particularly the drowning of a woman who was dating Trent at that time was direct i.e. you know who did it. We do have multiple POVs in the book and the part where Jen accepts her abusive man back into the life seems ridiculous. Overall, this wasn’t K.L. Slater’s greatest book, having read her psychological thriller books. She could have done a bit better. Worth 2.5 stars.

Rating:- 4 stars
A BRAND-NEW romantic, Spring getaway book from bestseller Jennifer Bohnet, set in the South of France. Perfect for the fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.
Can a grieving chef and a group of writers find their own happy endings?
Eight months after his wife Jacqueline died in a tragic car accident, Michelin starred chef and proprietor of Villa Celestia Guy Lyon’s life has been in freefall. Consumed by grief and plagued by questions as to why she was in a taxi that fateful day, the doors to Villa Celestia have remained closed.
When a good friend, Sandy Thoreau, asks to rent the villa on the French Riviera for a fortnight to hold a women’s writers retreat after being let down, Guy reluctantly agrees.
All the women at the retreat are looking forward to being inspired. Helena and her friend Mandy are writing debut novels, Isobel is editing a cosy crime story, Liz is desperate to kickstart a new book, self-published author Lorraine is looking for advice and Becky, well Becky is a law unto herself.
Over the course of the next fortnight, two of these women will change the course of Guy’s life forever and new chapters – hopefully with happy endings – will begin for all of them.
The perfect tonic and escapist book to the South of France full of warmth and second chances.
Guy Lyon lost the love of his life in a car accident and since then, he had been in grief, mourning at the loss of his love. He is a Michelin starred chef and owns Villa Celestia but he has no interest or desire to run the villa or cook. So when his good friend Sophie asks Guy’s help to reopen the villa to host the writer’s retreat, Guy reluctantly agrees. The writer’s retreat consists of all women and many aspiring writers–we have Liz who recently went through divorce, Helen and Mandy, Lorraine, Isabel and Becky an influencer. This book talks about finding true love and moving on with the life.
This was a good book to read and perfect to read during the holidays, especially if you are someone who is planning to go to a vacation soon. One unique thing about this book is how realistic the situations are compared to other romances–the grief of getting divorced, losing a loved one etc. The whole setting in Antibes, made me feel like I was actually a part of the writer’s retreat, enjoying the south of France. The writer’s retreat also taught me about the conventional ways of publishing. AI being the most talked topic in this era, I was interested about learning how AI can be used to write a novel. More than that, I like how all the women who attended the retreat started becoming friends with each other–going into bars, enjoying early morning swim at the beach and above all, encouraging each other to write the book. I really like the camaraderie between all the women. I like how the slow romance developed between recently divorced Liz and recently widowed Guy.
I enjoyed this book very much and will look forward to read more books from this author. This book is worth four stars.

Some scenes of domestic abuse
What if murder is in your blood?
The new dark and twisty psychological domestic suspense from the bestselling author of The Serial Killer’s Wife, about compulsion, betrayal, and whether blood really is thicker than water — perfect for fans of Lisa Jewel, K.L. Slater, and B.A. Paris.
Lily thought she was an ordinary woman with an ordinary life. But when a DNA test seems to reveal she carries the ‘serial killer gene’, she is terrified by the thought of passing it onto her future children. She decides to break off her engagement and move back in with her devoted mother, Eva — until unexpected sparks fly with a charismatic journalist, and Lily finds herself diving into a wild, intoxicating new relationship.
Their obsession soon turns toxic, and as they spiral out of control Lily’s traumatic past resurfaces, leaving her questioning everything she thought she knew. Could she be the monster she fears she is?
Confronted with a sudden, horrifying murder, Lily’s only choice is to turn to the one person who has always protected her mother. But Eva is hiding secrets that could destroy them both…
From the bestselling author of The Serial Killer’s Wife, this is a new gripping psychological suspense about compulsion, betrayal, and whether blood really is thicker than water — perfect for fans of Lisa Jewel, K.L. Slater, and B.A. Paris.
Lily believes she is an ordinary woman with a perfect job and seemingly in a perfect relationship. But when she does DNA testing for fun, she finds out that she has what is called a “warrior” gene. Lily researched about the gene to find that people who has “warrior” gene has serial killer gene in their blood. Lily gets out of her engagement, moves in with her mother Eva and enters into a toxic relationship with a woman named Margo. Soon, Margo seems to be controlling her–from coming to her workplace and basically controlling everything, including trying to find more about Lily’s past childhood. Lily is worried that the past might caught up to her. Then an unexpected murder happened and Lily turns to one person she trusts most–her mother Eva.
From start to finish, this book was fast paced and page turner. The concept of having “serial killer” gene is really interesting though I am not sure if it was biologically proven. The story changes between present and past and part of the story is told in Lily’s POV the rest of the story told in Eva’s POV. The story covers sensitive topics, such as domestic abuse, murder etc. The whole story is well written, with snippets of Lily’s childhood shown in the story, to paint a picture of what Lily is actually like during her childhood. Lily’s own toxic and controlling relationship with her girlfriend Margo was well written and described.
There is tension in the whole story and the tension seems to be building gradually throughout the story and I like how the author manage to create that type of tension. The whole story was gripping and intense read and the ending…the twist at the end and the reveal at the end was quiet unexpected.
This is the third book I have read of Alice Hunter and she certainly didn’t disappoint me with this one. This is a unique thriller with a serial killer gene concept and this book will make you feel like you are on the edge.
Overall I give this book a four star reading and looking forward to read more books from this author.
Thank you Avon publishers for inviting me to review this book. Thank you Netgalley for providing the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
