Review: The Maid's Secret - Book #3 Molly the Maid Series - Nita Prose - April 2025

Molly Gray is back for one last mystery at the Regency Grand Hotel, and what a final adventure it is! In The Maid's Secret, Nita Prose delivers another delightful, heartwarming, and intricately woven story featuring the lovable yet complex Molly the Maid. This installment brings together elements of family secrets, hidden pasts, and a thrilling mystery that keeps readers engaged until the very last page.

Molly has now risen through the ranks to become the esteemed Head Maid of the Regency Grand Hotel, a role she takes immense pride in. Her meticulous nature and deep-rooted love for cleaning—instilled in her by her beloved Gran—make her a perfect fit for maintaining the hotel's pristine reputation. But when a theft threatens to tarnish the hotel's image, Molly finds herself entangled in yet another puzzle that demands her unique perspective.

What sets this novel apart is its deep dive into Molly’s personal history. While she’s busy solving the present-day mystery, she stumbles upon an even more intriguing enigma—secrets hidden within her Gran’s diary. The diary reveals a past she never could have imagined, raising questions about why her Gran cut ties with certain people and kept these truths from her. As Molly untangles these revelations, readers are taken on a dual-timeline journey that beautifully explores the impact of family secrets and self-discovery.

One of the reasons I felt a strong connection to this series is because of Molly’s character. As someone on the spectrum, she approaches the world in a way that feels both authentic and refreshing. Her literal interpretations, her struggle with social nuances, and her deep love for structure make her an incredibly relatable protagonist. Nita Prose does a brilliant job portraying Molly’s unique perspective with warmth and respect, making her one of the most memorable and endearing characters in contemporary fiction.

This book also brought back memories of my mum and her love for Antiques Roadshow. The themes of uncovering hidden histories, the appreciation for things long forgotten, and the excitement of revealing truths all resonated deeply. However, it also brought a bittersweet feeling—knowing this is the last installment in the Molly the Maid series. Saying goodbye to a character I’ve felt so at home with is never easy, but I’m grateful for the journey.

Reading The Maid's Secret was another reminder of why I love being a book reviewer—getting the chance to experience incredible stories before they hit the shelves. With its April release date, readers still have time to anticipate this final chapter in Molly’s story, and I can confidently say that it’s a mystery worth unraveling.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
