\u201cWelcome to the family,\u201d Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I\u2019ll soon learn that the Winchesters\u2019 secrets are far more dangerous than my own\u2026<\/p>\n

Every day I clean the Winchesters\u2019 beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.<\/p>\n

I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew\u2019s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it\u2019s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina\u2019s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.<\/p>\n

I only try on one of Nina\u2019s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it\u2019s like. But she soon finds out\u2026 and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it\u2019s far too late.<\/p>\n

But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don\u2019t know who I really am.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t know what I\u2019m capable of\u2026<\/p>\n

My Review <\/p>\n

I feel like I am the last one to the party and everyone and their granny has read this book. Millie didn’t think for a second she would actually land the job as live in nanny et al for the Winchesters, the house is dripping money\/class and Millie is living in her car with all kinds of baggage following her around. Get the job she does and she is determined to keep it, even if the wife blows hot and cold and seems off the scale at times. Seriously the more you read the more unhinged you see just how bad the wife is. Her kid is a brat and her husband is not only attractive but super nice and Millie can’t help but find herself wondering how his wife bagged him and just how nice he is. Millie find that not is all it seems in the Winchester house but then nor is Millie dun dun duuuuuuuuun.<\/p>\n

I read this in under a day, like maybe 7 or 8 hours, had to stop for food and an appointment but immediately picked it back up. The majority of the book we hear from Millie and maybe the last quarter we hear from the perspective of Nina (the wife).<\/p>\n

It is shocking – an absolute page turner, normally I give themes in our reviews but to do so would give spoilers this time so apologies I cannot. If you are triggered by certain topics I would maybe check out some other reviews to prepare yourself.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t predict where it was going and felt the rug pulled a few times which is always a good thing in a book, for sure. 4.5\/5 this was my first dance with McFadden and I have just bought book two!\n<\/p>\n
