First of all, thank you Mandy Chahal, NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and Freida McFadden for this ARC! And now without further ado:

Ok Freida, you’ve done it again…

From the very beginning, this book will hook you in. Freida’s writing has a way of immersing you into the story from the first page and making you feel like you’re right there among the other characters in the story. This one reminded me of The Surrogate Mother in many ways, which is definitely a good thing because that is in my top 5 favorite books by Freida. I love the way that the plot progresses in this one, and just when you think you’ve figured it out, you realize you couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ve read all of Freida’s thrillers (a total of 24 of her books) and I would definitely put The Tenant in my top 10 favorites. This is a MUST READ, and I highly suggest you grab a copy of this on its release date on May 6th!

McFadden has done it again. In this book, the main character, Blake has recently been promoted in his executive job only to shortly lose his prestigious gig abruptly. He and his fiancée end up having to lease a room of their home and bring in a tenant. Whitney moves in and Blake’s hellish nightmare begins. Frieda McFadden is known for her twists and turns and this title is no different. As you read, you start putting pieces together only to be so wrong in the end (all of her books tend to do this). I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. This book is also the first (to my knowledge) time that she has written from a male’s perspective, which was cool!

The Tenant is another excellent addition to Frieda McFadden's collection. Interesting characters, life-changing events, and a twist or two along the way. A quick, mysterious read that will leave you wondering.

Thanks to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for the egalley copy. All opinions, brief as they may be in this case, are my own.

I won a ARC of this book through the FB page and have been hooked since the first chapter. Freida changed it up with the point of view being of a man and I really liked the course she took with it. The book is a fast read and has a nice pace along the story line. The twist? Never saw them coming. Can not wait for this to officially release in May! Anyone picking this up/preordering won’t be disappointed!

This was my 2nd Freida McFadden book. It kept me reading from the first chapter ! The characters & their surroundings are very well written. I felt like the characters were people I knew. I was totally invested and read it almost in 1 sitting ! Chapters are short (which I love) but oh so well written ! There are twists and turns I did not see coming ! I truly loved reading this book and would highly recommend it to anyone to read.
I read this as an ARC through Net Galley in exchange for my honest review.

I want to start off by saying thank you so much for this early read! I've never won at an early read before and I'm so happy to have read this early! The book was amazing and everything I expected. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, something would throw me off again. The pace was amazing and there were no bad chapters! I finished this in 2 days and every single second was well worth it. I can't wait for it to be published so everyone can share the same excitement over this book as me. Another 5 star read from Freida!

I loved this book! Freida McFadden is a must read. The Tenant had lots of twists I didn't see coming. I finished this book in a day! Thank you for the ARC.

By far one of Freida's best written thrillers. I was wrapped in from the beginning and couldn't put the book down when I got half way through. Such a great read filled with twists and turns that I didn't expect or see coming! Would definitely recommend!!

As I began reading I found myself thinking, “not another creepy roomate book.” But then I reminded myself of who I was reading. This is a Freida book, never think you’ve got it figured out until the very last page! And true to form, this one didn’t disappoint.

The Tenant has you questioning “why” from cover to cover. “Why this couple?” “Why this tenant?” “Why did it happen?” The twists and turns are quicker than the Superman at Darien Lake; an old roller coaster at the area theme park. Likewise, your empathy for the characters changes as more information is discovered. You never quite know who to cheer for. I’ve read every Freida book published and it’s great to see she can write with the same suspense now as with her first. Thank you Freida for giving me an alternative world to get lost into.

One of my absolute favorites by Freida!! I gave this a solid 5 stars. The twists got me. I put myself into the book and I read this in 5 hours.

Was a tad bit more predictable then other Freida books but still a great book with twists and turns!

(Reviewed as part of an ARC)

WOW! Freida thank you for the opportunity to read an ARC of The Tenant. There were so many twists and turns throughout that l'm speechless. Definitely snagging a physical copy of the book on release day!

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book! It couldn't have come at a better time= I just finished all of Freida's other books. This was a good read. Instead of crazy twists, I would say this book was more straightforward, which isn't a bad thing. I only guessed the who for the twist, not the how. One part of the twist still came as a big surprise and made the rest of the book very interesting!

This was amazing, definitely one of Frieda’s best books. I was absolutely shocked by the twist and loved how well thought out everything was. Will definitely be recommending to everyone I know!

Let me start off with the fact that I am a giant Freida fan so my expectations were very high!! This book was definitely still really good and you should absolutely read it. If this was my first read by her, my rating would be completely different. Also, If this is your first book by her and you don’t enjoy it, do not stop reading her books with just this one try!

As usual with her books, I didn’t want to put it down, it was fast paced and the characters pissed me off 😂.
Unlike her usual books, the main character was a male and I felt like I could actually relate to some of it. (If you’ve had a few roommates in your lifetime you probably will too hahah)
Sadly, I felt like the “twist” was a bit disappointing and not as shocking as her usual stories.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and amazing author for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

There’s something about a Freida McFadden book that makes me block out the real world and shun all of my responsibilities until I’ve finished the very last word!

The Tenant is no exception.

This is my 25th Freida read and I honestly have to say this is now in my top 3! I genuinely loved this story and its characters.

Of course, as always, I attempt to figure out the twist. Did I? Of course not! I suspected almost every character along the way, analysing their behaviour and coming up with theories. At one point I gasped along with one of the main characters when one of the twists was discovered.

I enjoyed everything about The Tenant and truly believe it’s one of Freida’s best books yet!!

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read an advance copy.

I am a huge Freida fan and have read all her thrillers except 4 of them. I can say the latest few books including The Tenant have been disappointing. Yes, her books are very quick easy reads. But, the repetitive mention of certain pets or names gets old in many of her books gets old. I feel like it started with The Coworker and just continues. This one specifically had many pages focused on Goldy the fish or the laundry. So for me I was just trying to get through many parts of the book. It picked up in Part Two when the twist came and I was glad the twist wasn’t something completely out of left field. Then in the end was another pleasant surprise. I wasn’t super shocked in this story. So in the end it was enjoyable but unforgettable. Maybe I am just outgrowing Freida, where I need more character development and deeper connections to characters, then just surface level entertainment.

Freida always keeps you on your toes. You always think you know what happened and then BAM! No ma’am you were definitely wrong !

Okay, I'm back on the Freida McFadden train! Her last two books disappointed me a little, but this one brought me all the way back in. There were twists I didn't see coming and a fun, original story. The main character was a good mix of sympathetic and hateable, which I also loved. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, twist, fast-paced thriller!

Loved the psychological thriller aspect from a MMC perspective. Overall a decent and enjoyable read. Freida McFadden never lets you down!
