The previous books in the series were more tense than this one. I had been wanting a look at Flora’s life growing up and we finally got it in this book. A few rogue periods and commas in the ARC. No one dies in the end! Thank you Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine Books for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own! #TheMaidsSecret #NetGalley

This book had me laughing for much of the beginning half. It’s such a sweet story you wouldn’t expect from sci fi and fantasy.

I think immigrant women who seek better for their daughters is one of the highest forms of love. I see my family in these 2 and will make this book gifts for my mom and grandmother.

I was counting this book out 80% through because I thought I knew the identity of the murderer. I was very wrong because the twist then second twist at the end is crazy.
