6 Fredia Mcfradden Books You MUST READ

I absolutely LOVE Freida McFadden! I'm obsessed with every book of hers I've read. I rate them all 5 stars. She's the reason I even started reading. I've never been into reading, then decided to give her Housemaid series a shot & fell in love! I read constantly now. I even got my mom back into reading 📚😃💓

I love freedom McFadden books also. I can only read a couple in a row, though before having to switch to something easier as reading too many thriller books back to back to back causes me nightmares. I have currently read all of the Housemaid books as well as The Boyfriend and The Teacher amongst several others.
