First I want to thank Freida, NetGalley, and Poisoned Pen Press for an advance copy of this book. ♥️ This was my 16th Frieda McFadden book and I am always amazed by her work. She is definitely auto buy author for me. I found this book to be a solid 3.5. It’s not her best nor her worst work. It falls in the middle. I found it to start on the slower side with a ton of details and then I went from 0-100. I will say you the twists were definitely in her story and you should pick it up! Can’t wait to hear what all of you guys think.

Firstly, thank you to Netgalley and Mandy at Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC!

3.5 stars - I thought this book was very binge worthy, I read it in a weekend. It is pretty scandalous but is not a thrilling and twisting as some of her other work but still a great read!! All of that being said, I still very much enjoyed this read as I do with any book by Ms. McFadden!

Another great read by Freida McFadden. It did not disappoint. I loved the different teaching styles of Nate and Eve. At the beginning of the story I found my self wishing that I could have been one of Nate's students. As Nate's and Addie's relationship grows, I could not put the book down. I loved all of the twists and turns. The ending took my breathe away. I really enjoyed this book.

Frieda McFadden is easily one of my favorite Thriller authors, her writing style grabs ahold of your attention and keeps you turning pages from start to finish.

Directly after I got "The Teacher" it was moved to the top of my TBR and I binged it in one reading session. I thought I had the plot pretty well figured out but I didn't expect that final twist at all!

Fans of this author know that she has a way of crafting characters that will produce strong emotions within you. This storyline definitely had it's share of despicable monsters.

Another solid Thriller, I think her audience will enjoy this book!

Thank you Frieda McFadden, Net Galley and Poisoned Press for providing me with an ARC of this book!

THE ENDING! Described in my words as I finished it "a bamboozle, a shock, a twist, a trick!"

If you have a flight from Ft. Lauderdale FL to Grand Rapids Michigan, you can finish this in one day! I was bossed. I couldn't put this down and I did NOT see that ending.

This is a fast-paced thriller that you won't be able to put down. Focused on a married couple that are both teachers. As well as a student with a questionable past. You won't regret picking this book up!

I'll admit, when a certain gross plot twist happened about 40% of the way, I was debating DNFing this. I was like "the mystery seems intriguing as hell, but this plot just took a gross turn and I can't possibly read it." But knowing her books, I had to finish and see it through, and I'm so glad I did. The twists kept coming and I audibly gasped every time. It's a fantastic read. I do feel like one thing that seemed major in the beginning (Mr. Tuttle) kind of faded out into the background and got forgotten about, which I am still very curious about, but I figure I can fill in the gaps decently enough. Still, there's a hole there I'm curious to have filled. Either way, great, fast read. Kept me going to the end. Already recommended it to my mother, who loves McFadden's work.

Frieda has done it again!!! When I think I figured everything out, there's another mind-blowing twist! I like how she switches each chapter from different characters' points of view. And she has a way to make it so you get so aggravated with some of the characters! Until the very last page, this book is full of surprises.

Here is my arc review for The Teacher by Freida McFadden. I’d like to thank Netgalley and Sourcebooks for giving me early access to this book. I’m giving this book 4.25 stars

In this book we have a dual pov where we follow Eve, a high school teacher and her husband who is also a teacher. The other pov is Addie, a student that has mystery surrounding her due to something that happened last school year with another teacher, who no longer works at the school. She’s being bullied by mean girls, she’s in both Eve and her husbands class, and is completely misunderstood. There were quite a few wtf moments that I didn’t see coming and had me saying “wait what” and rereading the sentence.

There’s a teacher / student relationship that I honestly didn’t like reading about because of the age gap. And there’s a scene that could be a slight trigger for people.

Overall the amount of plot twists and shocking moments in this book had me binging this book because I just had to know what was going to happen. Freida has done it again with another page turning thriller and I’m wondering if this book will have a sequel?

**Spoiler free review of The Teacher**
The Teacher is a slow burn mystery with crazy drama, and even crazier twists. As usual, Freida makes characters complex and intriguing, even if they are not the most likable or relatable character. You never know quite who to root for, which is an interesting aspect of her books that keeps you on your toes. Every chapter ends on a cliffhanger that makes you want to read the next chapter. The best part, as usual to Freida’s books, is the amount of amazing and surprising twists. I never know what to expect, and even though I had an inkling of what might happen, she still surprised me time and time again. Perfect for fans of Freida’s “The Perfect Son.” A great read with plenty of twists to look forward to!

Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an advanced copy from one of my favorite authors!

In typical Freida fashion this one sucked me from the beginning. This is a true page turner full of twists and drama. The very end, like the last two pages was a full on WTF moment. I did pretty much figure this one out before the end except for the very last little twist in the final pages.

This book really kept me guessing, as always! A lot of twists and I did NOT guess that ending! Honestly I did not guess any of the twists, which is not a surprise. Another great read by Freida!

This book quickly sucked me in! And the ending oh my goodness blew my mind and left my jaw on the floor! Typical Freida writing another stellar page turner! This book is in my Top 2 favorite Freida books!! Highly recommend!!

Only the second Freida McFadden book, but I will be reading more.

Love all the twists and turns in her books. And this one was no exception.

There were some parts of the book, that I didn't like. but for the most, I loved the book.

So if you are looking for a book of suspense, then this book is the one for you. The end surprised me. There were things about it I didn't see coming at all.

Eve Bennett is a math teacher, her husband and English teacher at the same high school. Their relationship is not what it once was. Tries to engage her husband. Her husband seems to be uninterested. Their marriage is stagnant. This book. Is told in first POV and there are three characters that we see those POV’s from. Eve, Addie, and Nate. Now I really enjoyed the coworker today that has been my favorite book that Freida McFadden has written. I have tried the housemaid, and I am going to try it again. But since it infuriated me, I soft.DNF’d it. And it wasn’t because it was bad. But some of the characters had me angry all the time. I will say Freida is very good at getting an emotional response from me. While I didn’t have the same anger in the teacher that I did the housemaid. She had my brain turning from the beginning, trying to figure out what the twists were going to be and trust me when I said the last two chapters had my mouth open in shock, because I was not expecting it. That alone is something that does not happen to me often and because of this, I am definitely giving this book 5 stars. I really hope Freidas next book is just as amazing!

The Teacher had me hooked from the very first chapter! Freida McFadden never disappoints! This book was full of twists and turns and that ending had me completely shocked! The way everything came together in that last chapter was 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻! One of my favorite books by Freida so far!

Accurate depiction of teacher-student relationships.
Fast read, easy reading, witty and humorous at certain parts. There are some plot holes and the epilogue is exasperating. But this book is written in signature freida style so fans would definitely be in for a treat.
Thanks to netgalley and Sourcebooks for this arc!

OH MY GOSH!!!! I have to say, this is one of absolute favorite Freida McFadden books!! It is right up there with the housemaid!! The Queen of twists has outdone herself with this one!!! The ending literally had me say 😱😱😱 OMG!!!

Thank you NetGalley for letting me have early access to this book!!! I will be buying this once it comes out to have on my shelf and to re read!!!

A book I will never forget!!!

As a picky reader who gets bored easily and will absolutely DNF if I’m not thoroughly enjoying what I’m reading - I was SO thrilled to receive an ARC for The Teacher! Freida’s books are not only fast and easy reads, but she keeps me engaged and wanting to continue reading the entire time! The Teacher was no exception and I finished it within hours. I held many theories, always trying to guess what twist she will get you with this time. While I came close in parts, she held high with twists and turns all the way to the very end that I never saw coming! If you enjoy a good psychological thriller, you definitely need to check out The Teacher!

I’ll admit this book is addicting - I read it in two days and it’s definitely binge-worthy and fast-paced. But I didn’t think it was that suspenseful or mind-bending and I’m shocked to see all of these four and five star reviews. The only twist that truly surprised me was the one that came in the epilogue. The writing throughout this book seemed very juvenile. I know the author was writing a lot of this from a teen perspective but it became painful to read all of the “likes” and “for reals.” There is also a major plot hole at the end that I can’t look past. I’m giving this book 2.5 stars but rounding up to three because it’s entertaining and binge-worthy.

Okay wow! I am a massive Freida McFadden fan already but… she has possibly written her best book yet. I am a sucker for multiple perspective novels, and she nailed this one! Both main characters (Addie and Eve) were unlikeable, until they weren't. The perspectives are running simultaneously so there is never any confusion on what is happening in the story. I also loved how Freida left a cliffhanger on every single chapter, it was never enough to stop reading!! Don't stop at the end of the book, make sure you read the epilogue for the twists to keep coming....This is a five star read for me and it makes me want to reread all of her other novels.
