“Welcome to the family,” 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’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own…

Every day I clean the Winchesters’ 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.

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’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out… and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.

But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am.

They don’t know what I’m capable of…

An unbelievably twisty read that will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train won’t be able to put this down! (less)

3.5 (Bom)

Até o meio do livro parecia até que eu tava lendo uma versão de Verity 2.0 hahaha
A leitura é muito fluida, da uma sensação de inquietude em alguns momentos, mas achei previsível.

Alguns pontos com spoiler:
- millie doida emocionada achando que ja era dona da casa depois de ficar 1x com o cara?? Hahahaha mas vingança mt boa, e era óbvio que ele não sairia daquele quarto
- plano da nina mt doido e bem elaborado, mas ao msm tempo coitada da menina.. vc quer sair da situação e empurra outra na ESPERANÇA de dar certo. Mas pelo menos ela voltou pra ajudar, então se redimiu comigo pelo menos
- final mega conveniente com o policial que não sabia NADA do que a filha passou mas ainda assim resolveu encobrir o caso
- a mae do andy outra louca, não é a toa que o cara virou o que é
