Eve is a maths teacher at Caseman high school. She is married to a very handsome Nathenial who is an English teacher at the same school. People say that Eve is lucky to be married to Nathenial as she is a plain Jane and nothing to write home about. She also has a fetish buying very expensive shoes.

Eve warned Nathaniel of occurred to make sure that it does not happen again. But it is easier said than done when Addie develops a fixation to her teacher.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of ‘The Teacher’. Ms Fadden has done it again with ‘The Teacher’. Another fabulous read from the author. Another tense thriller with the authors trademark twists that kept me reading to the small hours of the morning. Yes at times it was a bit farfetched but that didn’t deter me from reading. I couldn’t put this down. I loved it and yet again, I thought it figured it out when it came that explosive twists at the end. 5 stars from me.

Wow! This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning pages to see the end. Two teachers are married and in a boring relationship. The wife begins an affair with a shoe salesman and the husband begins seeing a student. In the end the husband has had lots of relationships with students . A really great read.

I felt this one was a bit slow at times in the middle of the book and picked up again toward the end. As a teacher myself I was hoping for a unique thriller based on a teachers daily life, but I am not a fan of the student/teacher sexual relationship storyline. That being said, I love Freida’s writing style. Having read all of her books this wasn’t my favorite of hers but still worth the read.

Holy s*** this book was a wild ride. This was my first book I've read by McFadden and it did not disappoint. I could not put this book down and just had to keep reading. It's chock full of twists and characters you'll hate but can't stop reading about how f***** up their lives are. Wow wow wow.

This is my fourth Freida McFadden book I’ve read this year and certainly won’t be my last! So far, all her books that I’ve read have been enjoyably addicting, quite the page-turner with the crazy twists, and without a doubt, always end up reading it in one-sitting! Whenever I see a Freida McFadden book on NetGalley, I click request without turning back! It’s so hard to review her books because there’s so much to say but don’t want to give anything away!! Thank you to NetGalley for the advance reader copy!

The Teacher is a dark read and at times due to the subject matter, uncomfortable. It revolves around a high school teacher couple, Eve and Nate. As described, Eve is known to be the strict and stern Math teacher and Nate, the charming and handsome English teacher. While Eve and Nate have their own challenges in their marriage and life, more problems arise in their classrooms due to a student they share named Addie. Accusations and scandals follow Addie from her past and continue to throughout The Teacher. Readers will be captivated by the twists and turns and the multiple POVs to try and grasp everything Freida throws at you - can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

Wow! Great plot with excellent character development. McFadden knows how to weave a tale and this is one of her finest. Lots of twists and turns, and a story you won’t be able to put down. A husband and wife, both teachers, and both teaching in the same high school. Perfect careers, right? Hmmm, something seems to be a little off kilter. You will be flipping pages until you come to the crashing ending. Don’t Miss this one, it’s a keeper. Thank You To NetGalley, The Author Freida McFadden and The Publisher Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me to read this great novel for my honest review.

Oh my goodness! The moment I lay eyes on any Freida McFadden book, I find myself canceling everything in my life. Even in the midst of preparing Christmas dinner, with invited friends and a few accidental crisps due to my divided attention—I just can't resist diving into more chapters.

Her latest book should be promoted as the literary equivalent of Pringles: once you pop open the book, there's no stopping!

"Teacher" may have its faults, like plot holes, far-fetched twists, and characters you'd rather punch, curse, and scream at than care about, especially when bad things happen to them. Yet, it's undeniably addictive, with an extra-fast pace that keeps you entertained. I caught myself nervously laughing at the end of chapters, and thankfully, the final twist was a masterpiece. No one could see that coming, not even those with strong spidey senses and detective skills like me, who typically ruin surprises by revealing the killer in the middle of movies. I must applaud Freida McFadden; that amazing conclusion had me singing Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do"!

Now, let's delve into the main story, centered around three highly antipathetic characters: Eve, a math teacher happily married to the very handsome and older Nathaniel, an English teacher at Caseman High School. People give Eve side-eyes, assuming she's too lucky to have lured a man like Nate with her mediocre looks. However, behind closed doors, nothing is as it seems. Her husband touches her monthly as a mandatory activity, and they grow estranged each day, fueling her obsession to buy more expensive shoes and hoard them in secret places around the house.

It appears everyone is enchanted by her husband's charm. But when a problematic student named Addie is assigned to both her and her husband's class, Eve realizes she needs to be cautious. Addie is the reason one of her favorite teachers resigned due to inappropriate behaviors. Did the teacher truly touch that girl, or was she the stalker ruining the man's life? What if Addie sets her eyes on her husband? What if things spiral out of control?

I'll stop here to avoid spoiling your reading experience. Despite its shortcomings, I had an amazing, highly entertaining time with this thriller. Especially in the second half, things get so batshit crazy that you keep telling yourself, "no way," but yes way—it's a ride of expecting the unexpected! I'm rounding up from 3.5 stars to a solid 4; it's unputdownable, twisty, and well-executed.

I eagerly look forward to reading the next addictive book by the author, including the third book of Millie the Housemaid.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press/Sourcebooks for sharing this wonderful book's digital reviewer copy with me in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Freida McFadden is a physician specializing in brain injury. She writes psychological thrillers. I have read a couple and really enjoyed them. I was excited to read this story and review it. Unfortunately, I didn't find this story very exciting. The premise, a student-teacher relationship was a bit disturbing, but a psychological thriller it wasn't. The main characters, teachers Nate and Eve, and student Addie were rather predictable, as was the storyline. As usual, Freida had a twist at the end of the story which usually adds a lot of interest to a story. But in this case the twist had a blaring hole in it. Definitely not my favorite Freidan McFadden book.

This is a compulsively readable thriller that sucks you in right from the beginning. I enjoyed the pace of the story however there were some unbelievable parts. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. #TheTeacher #FreidaMcFadden #NetGalley

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. This is only the second book I've read by this author, and she is quickly becoming a favorite. The three main characters, Nate, Eve, and Addie have their own distinct voice. Nate is the handsome, easy-going English teacher. Eve, his wife, is the strict Math teacher, and Addie is the school pariah after an incident that happened the year before. I won't give any spoilers, but this book hooked me from the beginning, I couldn't put it down; I finished it in one day. And the ending...WOW. Love, loved this book! I will definitely be reading as many of Freida McFadden's books that I can get my hands on!

Wow! Frieda killed it again! What a fab read loved it! Did not see the end coming lots if twists and turned. great read
!

A great plot with so many twists that it’ll give you whiplash.

I was sucked in immediately until about halfway through when the subject matter got a little difficult to read and I had to take a break. I loved the ending, though it was unrealistic, but the epilogue had me a little frustrated. The last plot twist, which Freida is known to throw in the prologues, left some flaws in the timelines in previous chapters.

Other than that, I found this to be a great read! Freida’s writing style makes it very easy to read, even for somebody like me who struggles to focus.

I'd like to thank Poisoned Press & Netgalley for giving me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Addy is accused of doing some pretty inappropriate things with a former teacher. So when she ends up in the handsome Mr. Bennett's class, it's no surprise when things take a turn for the worse.

This book was.. WILD. Halfway through, I was convinced I knew what was going to happen.. Fast forward to the end, and I was slapped in the face with a huge OMG moment in the final chapter (epilogue) that I never would have guessed. Well done, Freida! This is the best book you've released in quite some time.

One of my top favorite books by Freida McFadden, The Teacher is a riveting thriller that will stick with me for a while. I was hooked from the first sentence and did not want to stop until the end. It dangles just enough surprises to keep the story interesting but not overwhelming.
Written in multi-character perspectives, the story is plot driven with scandals, revenge, secrets, and so much more. I am left wanting more!
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC copy. This review is my personal opinion and I have and will not receive any compensation for it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for letting me read The Teacher in exchange for my honest review. Let me start by saying that Freida McFadden is my absolute favorite author, I will always automatically read everything she writes, without reading the description. This one as usual blew me away and the twists at the end were so unexpected!! The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is due to some subject matter that I did not entirely agree with.

Sex, scandal, and bad poetry. That pretty much sums up the average high school experience. But nothing is typical when Freida McFadden enters the scene. Once again, she takes the reader on a wild ride with unpredictable twists and turns. Five-Stars.

A Compulsively twisty thriller, with characters so complicated that it's hard to figure out who the real villain is. Kept me guessing until the glorious final twist.

“The Teacher" is a meticulously crafted masterpiece that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very last page. The unexpected twist left me in awe, showcasing the author's unparalleled storytelling prowess. It's undoubtedly one of her finest works, and being among the first to read it felt like uncovering a literary gem. I consider myself fortunate to have experienced the magic of this five-star book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks for an e-ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

This book was absolutely PHENOMENAL. Like McFadden's other works, this is a fast read. There's nothing better than a nice short book that grips you that you can finish in a couple days. Previously my favorite of hers was "The Inmate", but this has topped that.

The first thing I enjoyed was that this was different. Her previous few books have been about doctors/nurses or set in hospitals. This is a completely different world, set in a high school and she clearly did some excellent research. The only thing I found unrealistic about this high school is the type of bullying that goes on throughout the book. Most modern high schools would notice and do something about physical bullying. Nowadays, kids mostly bully online via social media. (From personal experience, being in my 20s.) This book reminded me more of the type of bullying that would occur in the 80s or 90s.

Other than that, I loved it. It's a typical "you think you know how it's going to end, but you don't". So many unexpected twists and turns, especially near the end. If you like Lifetime movies or "My Dark Vanessa" by Kate Russell, you'll love this book.

Freida McFadden does not disappoint in this new psychological thriller. Twists and turns continue throughout the book bringing the story to life. This book will keep you reading until the very last page.
