Frieda is somewhat of a mastermind when she comes up with these twists and turns for her readers to enjoy. I have read several of her books now and going into this one, I swore I was going to be able to figure it out before the ending. First, I noticed it was a teacher/student type of ordeal and was grateful I don't get triggered by that. The chapters alternate from character to character and it's nice to get the other perspectives. About halfway through the book I was SURE I knew what was going on and that I had it all figured out, but a few chapters in I was slapped in the face with a big fat WRONG on my part. I could not put this book down; it was such an easy read yet intriguing enough for me to want to stay up way past my bedtime to complete it. Once I finished the book, I laid in my bed wide awake, with a slick grin on my face thinking to myself "oh my god". I was stunned. Paralyzed almost. Just lying there trying to comprehend everything that I read over and over. I almost wanted more but was very satisfied with how Freida ended it. I loved it. I would pay money to erase my memory of this book just so I can read it again, for the first time!

Well well well... Freida has done it again.

As usual there's an intriguing plot, interesting characters & imaginative settings. Also, can't forget, twists galore.

The story just flows off the page and suddenly it's over and you're left questioning the characters, questioning your morals, questioning the day of the week and if you have an adequate amount of shoes...

Just read it. Go on, it's time. You won't regret it.

Thank you to NetGalley & Poisoned Pen Press for early access to this novel. All opinions are my own.

The Teacher will not disappoint!!! Although there is definitely some cringe yuck, it is twisty and dark. I so wanted to give Addie some backbone. The characters were great. I loved Eve and Hudson. I know, but I really did like Eve's character. I could have used just a tad more story, but my imagination has had a good time filling in blanks!!

Avid Frieda fan here. I have read all of her work and had high hopes of The Teacher. The book has twists and turns throughout. I thought I figured it out but was still shocked by the ending. She writes amazingly well and the plot develops beautifully. I was able to connect the dots as I read: that is, right up until the ending. I love this author and her style of writing, but this particular book I wouldn’t read again.

I do suggest a trigger warning for the teenage grooming and sexual relations mentioned in the book.

My first Freida McFadden book! I've been hearing all about her on social media and her books are very popular at the library I work at so she's been on my radar for awhile.

The Teacher switches between two perspectives, Eve, a math teacher at a high school, and Addie, a student in her class, and begins on the first day of school. Something very dramatic happened the year before and you slowly learn the details while learning something even more dramatic is about to happen!

I did like McFadden's writing and the fast pacing of the book but this isn't my kind of thriller. The twists were interesting but I didn't really care for the characters and that's an important thing for me. I'm glad I read it and saw what all the hype was about though! McFadden is on auto buy at my library!

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

As usual I loved this book. The last twist at the ending completely took me by surprise. Not ti mention all the suspense that had built up half way through, I had to keep reading so I could find out what happened.
I really enjoyed the different perspectives from the characters as well. It was just enough to cast any doubts on what may or may not happen without becoming confused.

Special thanks to Netgally for for the advanced reader copy of The Teacher. I am a big fan of Freida McFadden and have read all of her books, however, as much as I loved this book it didn’t feel like a psychological thriller until the very end. I thought the book was very predictable until the very end, and I really enjoyed the book. I will still be buying a physical copy for myself!!

Wowzer! This book captures you on the first page and it is one fast pace thriller you don't want to miss. I may have screamed at the book, may have wanted to toss it a few times, yell at some people and there a few ick moments in here but thats make it such a great read.

Nat and Eve are married and teach at the same high school. Nat is one that captures all the girls hearts by being the hottest teacher in school. Eve is worried going back this year as they both have Addie in their classes this year. Addie caused a scandal last year by people believing she was involved with a teacher.

I was so happy I could clear the day and binge read this as they just crazy good. So many great one lines in this and the shoe obsession made me laugh.

4+, it's crazy and so good! Freida McFadden's writing is addictive and sucks you right in. I don't care that some things seem too unrealistic and insane- it's just a fun, wild ride. Read this in one day, could not put it down. Thank you #NetGalley for this ARC.

I love Freida McFadden; she's an insta-buy author for me. So I was really excited to have received an advanced reader copy of her new book. I literally dropped everything and started reading the book. Sadly, I have to say I did not love this book. I found all the characters unlikeable, and the plot was just okay. I kept putting the book down and finding it hard to pick it back up. I felt like I was watching a really bad B-movie. But I kept thinking it's Frieda; it will get better. But sadly, no, the twist at the end didn't even redeem it for me. This was just an average read. I still love Freida, though, and I will still read anything she writes

Thank you to NetGalley & Poisoned Pen Press for the E-ARC

All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.

As an avid reader of Frieda McFadden, I was excited that this one centered around a theme/setting that I have not read from her before including the theme(s) of a teacher, a high school setting, a student, etc. Told in multiple perspectives but mostly from the point of view of Eve and Addie, McFadden writes in a way that leaves you rooting for both characters yet also skeptical of who to trust. While I have never read a Frieda McFadden book that I didn’t enjoy, I was very intrigued by this one and did not predict that ending (as usual!) which always excites me because I do not enjoy a thriller that is predictable.

Plenty of twists to keep you guessing. Every time I thought I had things figured out here came another twist! I never predicted the one at the end. My first McFadden book and I will read more.

I think a lot of customers will enjoy this book but it just wasn’t for me. As a former teacher, I had a really hard time getting past the student/teacher relationship in the book. I also felt like it took way too long to get to any type of suspense or twist in the book.

Once again, Freida McFadden has delivered an un-putdownable book, with such a twist of an ending that I did not see coming. This was such a fast-paced book and I just had to get to the end. Freida has a way with her characters, so much so that even though I didn't particularly like any of them, I was still rooting for two in particular.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this e ARC of The Teacher. Well done!

Freida McFadden’s newest title, The Teacher, is hard to put down. If you’re looking for a quick read, try this addictive new thriller. The plot unfolds with alternating points of view from the three main characters as secrets are revealed.

Caseham High School is still talking about last year’s scandal when a teacher was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student. Addie, the student in the scandal, is facing a school year with the alienation of her classmates and the lingering trauma of her father’s death. As the new school year begins. Eve and her husband, both teachers at the school, learn Addie is in their classes. Eve and Nate’s marriage is strained, Addie is not to be trusted and Eve has her own secrets to hide.

McFadden has created an atmosphere of uneasiness during this psychological thriller. I loved the references to Edgar Allan Poe. My favorite of her titles so far and the perfect escape read!

Thanks to Sourcebooks, Poison Pen Press and NetGalley for the advance copy in return for my honest review.

I love this author’s writing style as it is always believable and you are always gifted with several surprise twists at the end. This book was no different and held to my expectations. While a couple twists are expected, I think that is ok because that is what makes it believable and draws me in to feel what the characters would be feeling in the moment, but then BAM! …she gets you! I felt that the characters were relatable. I felt angry, sad, vengeful, empowered, happy, and probably many other things. AND, yes Freida…it kept me up until the late hours of the night!! BUY THE BOOK!!

Greatly anticipated this book and it did not disappoint! Twisting and turning until the very end. When you think you know the full story, you still don’t!

You did it again Freida! I was so anxious to read this and found it very hard to make myself move to do things that needed to get done... laundry... make my family their meals. I finished it quickly and just when I thought it was all wrapped up....WHAM...I was thrown for a loop. I couldn't believe the twist and I bet nobody will see this coming. Loved it!!!! Well done...Freida's books never disappoint me.

If Freida writes it I’m going to read it. However I have to say this isn’t my favorite of hers.

The prologue opens with someone digging a grave for someone and then we are taken back 4 months. To Eve and Nate getting ready for school, as they are both teachers and Eve is putting on her Jimmy Choo heels. From the aspect of wearing heels all day and o teach math I find this impractical. I also don’t know why she is obsessing over her husband being hotter than her?

Next we have Addie a “troubled” student that was rumored to be with a teacher last year. Which perfectly sets up for her to have a relationship with Nate.

This was a decent book, however, certain unbelievable things left me confused.

But loved the Epilogue put everything into perspective with Eve and Jay that I didn’t realize was needed

I devoured this book in less than 24 hrs, Frieda really captures my attention and I couldn’t put the book down. I didn’t see any of the twists coming and at the very end I regretted reading an ARC because I was so confused and shocked and needed to vent and read what others thought. When I read the synopsis there was no mention of inappropriate relationships, I think that should have been mentioned as a forewarning. I rounded up, but I’d give it a 3.75 stars. I know people will love it!
