Short Story Description:

The Housemaid’s Wedding is a winter-themed short story meant to fill in the long gap between Book 2 and Book 3 of The Housemaid series . It can be read either between Book 2 and Book 3, or after Book 3.

Today is supposed to be the happiest day of my life.

I’m engaged to the man of my dreams, and in a few short hours, I’m going to stand before a judge, who will declare us husband and wife, till death does us part. Despite some bumps in the road, this day is everything I dreamed it would be.

There’s only one problem:

Someone out there doesn’t want me to live long enough to say my vows.
And if I’m not careful, they may very well get their wish.

Jessica’s Review:

The Housemaid’s Wedding is a short story and just 63 pages.  It is meant as a quick filler between books two and three of the Housemaid series.  It’s not to be taken seriously; and is a fun and very quick read for the fans who wanted to read about Millie and Enzo’s wedding. 

I didn’t have to read about their wedding, but when McFadden mentioned it and I was able to buy a paperback copy for the inexpensive price of $2.79 I jumped at the chance!  McFadden wrote this for the fans and is not making any money off this short story being written.  I enjoyed it and I listened to the entire Housemaid series on audiobook, I heard the narrator Lauryn Allman’s voice as Millie again as I read this one!  Allman is perfect as Millie for me with the audiobooks. I can’t wait to see how the movie will be.

Read it or not, that is up to you as the reader.  If you have enjoyed The Housemaid series then I say go for it. Just remember, it’s a very short and quick read!
