One of my favorite Freida reads. Per usual if you think you have it figured out , you don’t. Page turner for sure. Even some Freida humor thrown in there. Loved it.

She's such an amazing author! Didn't guess this at all. I relished every part of this book! Make sure you don't miss out on an author who provides books that grip you from beginning to end!

Another great Freida read. Fast paced with many twists and turns. Just when I thought I figured it out, it surprised me again.

I always enjoy Freida McFadden's books and this one is no different! Suspenseful, page-turning and I had no idea what was going to happen next! I loved it!

I really enjoyed this book! I felt like it had so many great twist and turns in it and the ending had me SHOOK!!
Blake- fired from his job and desperate to make ends meet gets a new tenant to live in his spare room.
Whitney- new tenant arrives and everything just goes from bad to worse.

This wasn't my favorite book of Freida McFadden's, but overall, another solid read. The queen of suspense reigns supreme!

Freida’s books are so addictive!!! I could not put this book down. While I could predict some of what happened, the twists aren’t insane to me, it’s still so entertaining and enjoyable! Loved it!

I really liked the tenant. I liked the twist, it was different having a male main character but I thought it worked well.

Again Freida killed it with this book! I have not read any of hers that I did not like....Can't wait for more!

Loved it!!! The twists and turns were unexpected. Definitely a page turner, read ir in one sitting.

These days it feels like anytime a Freida McFadden book comes out, reviews are always between a "I Love It, I Hate It or I think I can guess what's going to happen but I just cant stop myself from reading" type of reviews. I tend to fall into the latter... I enjoy her stories even if some see predictable or repetitive, plot twists and the suspense of trying to see if my guess is right category.
The Tenant did exactly that for me. Reading Blake and Krista's story was enjoyable, even with the repeated fruit flies becoming annoying. As is par for Freida books, you want to scream at her main character for being clueless and missing all the red flags! This is true for about 80% of the book... then the twist hits! In this case, I do feel the twist is better than in some of the more recent books I've read! Just as with any other of her books... it's Freida McFadden so go ahead and read it because that's what we do in this community, we read anything she releases!!

When I tell you I've never read a book so fast!!! A page turner for sure! It took me 4 days to finish The Tenant. A phycological thriller that will keep you up at night thinking about the characters motives! I was immersed into this book. The pacing was chefs kiss** 👨🍳 and the build up for the suspense was mind blowing. Just when you think you have the ending figured out you DONT. In true Frieda style she has a way of making you have a love /hate relationship with these characters I don't know how she does it but yeah. Book was Recieved as an arc in exchange for my honest review thank you Freida

Freida McFadden continues her string of incredibly addictive, fast-paced thrillers with the release of The Tenant. McFadden is so skilled at taking tried and true tropes—in this case, the roommate from hell—and turning them into delightfully twisted tales that feel simultaneously fresh and familiar. She’s a plot-focused author who wields her words in ways that draw readers in and keeps them turning the pages until the final reveal is unleashed.
The Tenant is the story of Blake Porter—a bro who seems to have everything going in his favor, until it’s not. After suddenly losing his job and not wanting to disappoint his fiancée, they decide they must take in a tenant to help cover costs until financial stability is once again achieved. Enter their worst nightmare—Whitney.
With a Freida McFadden novel, you can pretty much count on inevitable twists that while rarely surprising, are almost always deadly catnip for readers who must continue reading to see how things unfold. McFadden has a unique way of allowing her plots to unfold organically with the reader under her spell before they even realize they are addicted.
As with her most famous novels, The Tenant is a one-sit read that moves faster than the bullet train. What she lacks in the character development department, she more than makes up for with relatability. You know these characters, in fact, maybe in some cases you are these characters. A word of warning to anyone planning to search for a roommate anytime soon—you are about to see just how bad things can get, so you might want to skip this one. Or maybe just skip the whole idea of letting a stranger into your home as a tenant.
If you are looking for an easy read, something that will keep you invested late into the night, Freida McFadden’s The Tenant more than fills the bill. Her immense cadre of fans know what to expect and she more than delivers. Call it bingeable batshit crazy crime fiction at its best.

Freida McFadden is one of my favorite authors for a fast paced and twisty thriller. What I thought was going to be a predictable storyline had shocking twists and unpredictable turns. Flawed characters, mind games and an incredible ending, McFadden novels just get better and better. The Tenant is one of her best!
Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the advanced reader’s copy.

I love Frieda McFadden's books, especially when I find myself in a bit of a reading slump. The Tenant premise was intriguing and the book delivered lots of twists. However, I gave it 3 stars because I could really find myself connecting and sympathizing with any of the characters.

Freida has truly outdone herself with this one! I’ve loved so many of her thrillers, but The Tenant is hands-down my favorite yet! I could not put it down!!! If you’re a fan of mind games, flawed characters, and unpredictable twists that keep you guessing till the end, you NEED this book! HUGE shoutout to Mandy and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC! I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time!

Talk about one wild ride! The Tenant was super fast paced and was full of twists. I thought I was going as crazy as much as Blake. I kept thinking I had it all figured out, and then, here came another twist. I was definitely not expecting that ending! If you’re into psychological thrillers this one’s for you, or should I just say any Freida McFadden book is a must read!

This one was a miss for me. Love Freida generally but I didn’t care for the protagonist at all and the twist was all very convenient.

The Tenant by Freida McFadden was another fun book that I really enjoyed. It was a quick easy read and the perfect palette cleanser from all the romance books I read. In this book, you follow Blake who was fired from his job & is struggling to make ends meet. His fiancé, Krista, and he decided to take in a roommate to help pay the mortgage. Enter Whitney, who is beautiful, charming, and seems to be completely normal after all the odd people they have interviewed before her. Once she moves in things start to change. This book is broken into 3 parts and it is filled with twists you come to expect some Freida. I could not put this book down. I really enjoyed it.
