I love reading, but if the book<\/a> isn\u2019t gripping enough, I get super bored and distracted. In recent years, books have taken me around three months to finish because they didn\u2019t get me hooked quickly enough, which put me off reading. That was until this year<\/a>, when I discovered Freida McFadden, an American thriller author who is a practising physician specialising in brain injury.<\/p>\n Although Freida is not her real name, her debut novel was released in 2013, but I didn\u2019t start reading her books until this year, when The Housemaid became popular on social media. I\u2019m now hooked on her content, and I\u2019ve read around 15 of her books this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Housemaid is the first in a four-part series. It is a psychological thriller about a housemaid, Millie, who begins working for the wealthy Winchester family.<\/p>\n It\u2019s sold over two million copies, and the unbelievably twisty read had me glued from the first chapter, which is incredibly rare.<\/p>\n In fact, this book had me on the edge of my seat so much that I read it in two sittings and finished it in just two days.<\/p>\n I have also read the second in the series, The Housemaid\u2019s Secret, which continues to follow Millie on her adventures, and it was just as gripping.<\/p>\n After reading five of Freida books, I thought I would begin to work out the twists and turns in the novels, but I just couldn\u2019t, which kept me engaged with the book.<\/p>\n You can buy The Housemaid series from Waterstones for \u00a37.99<\/a> on sale or from TGJones<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A more recent read was Never Lie, which was about newlyweds Tricia and Ethan, who were searching for their house of dreams.<\/p>\n They think they\u2019ve found it in the remote manor that once belonged to Dr Adrienne Hale, a renowned psychiatrist who years ago vanished without a trace, and although the twist wasn\u2019t unveiled until the very end, it was an incredible read.<\/p>\n
