So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want.
It's almost perfect. But I still haven't met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I'm sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I'm doing laundry. And one day I can't help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything....
That's when I make a promise. After all, I've done this before. I can protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe.
Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It's simply a question of how far I'm willing to go....
The Housemaid’s Secret is a standalone follow-up to last year’s edge-of-your-seat thriller, The Housemaid.

Talk about a dazzling mystery. The Lies I Tell kept me on the edge of my seat, questioning what I believed to be true.
From the very beginning, I knew that Every Last Secret would be one twisted, complex thriller. The plot is addictive, and it kept me enthralled from beginning to end.
What a ride Stillhouse Lake is! I love it when women who are helpless victims become fierce and formidable foes. Gwen Proctor gave me those Sarah Connor in Terminator and Ripley from Aliens vibes.
Where the Blame Lies is unlike any Mia Sheridan book I’ve read before, and I liked it. I really liked it. There’s enough detail to convey the horror of the victim’s situation, to develop a connection to her and maintain the suspense, but not so gory that it’s unbearably painful to read.
I pulled an all-nighter reading The Lion’s Den. Yes, there’s some over the top drama and questionable character choices, but it’s deliciously addictive! I have the dark circles under my eyes to prove it. I would not have guessed this is Katherine St. John’s debut novel.
The conclusion of the Life Duet is every bit as riveting as I anticipated. The Life You Stole is twisted and dark on a totally different level than book one. I feel like I’ve been emotionally pummeled.
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around what I just read, but what I do know is that The Life That Mattered knocked my socks off. With painstaking execution, this entirely unique, consuming, passionate, and thought-provoking novel puts Jewel E. Ann’s literary sorcery on full display. Nice to see you again, Book Hangover.
Unloved serves up angst on a silver platter, which was perfect for me because I was in the mood for some heavy drama. This is not a warm and fuzzy story.
I had forgotten just how well Jewel E. Ann writes suspenseful fiction. Jersey Six is mind-blowing, nail biting, deliciously complex, and intriguingly dark. I. Loved. It. That’s really saying something because I don’t typically go for dark stories.
I have been in a romantic suspense mood lately, and Say You’re Sorry is a darned good one.
I don’t even know how to write this review. Because Verity? Well, that is some Grade A phenomenal whatthefuckery right there.
