Thank you Freida McFadden and Poisoned Pen Press for the eARC of the tenant. All opinions are my own. The Tenant releases on May 6th. I'm not sure how she does it but that was another jaw dropper. The Tenant had a feel similar to Never Lie and the Locked Door (two of my favorites). It was classic Freida. I could really feel Blake's stress and frustration and found myself getting more and more annoyed at Whitney & Krista. I had it all figured out (lol) right up to the end when she pulled the rug out from under me again. Bamn, a Freida twist like no other. If you haven't already Pre-ordered this book, don't wait! I quite literally couldn't put it down and finished it in about 5 hours. Thank you Freida for another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read!

Blake Porter is riding high, until he's not. Fired abruptly from his job as a VP of marketing and unable to make the mortgage payments on the new brownstone he shares with his fiancée, he's desperate to make ends meet.

Enter Whitney. Beautiful, charming, down-to-earth, and looking for a room to rent. She's exactly what Blake's looking for. Or is she?

Because something isn't quite right. The neighbors start treating Blake differently. The smell of decay permeates his home, no matter how hard he scrubs. Strange noises jar him awake in the middle of the night. And soon Blake fears someone knows his darkest secrets...

Danger lives right at home, and by the time Blake realizes it, it'll be far too late. The trap is already set.

This was another fast paced and enjoyable read from Freida! I always know there’s a twist I’m not expecting, but still, she always gets me! Blake was honestly a dim witted MC though. Every tile an incident occurred, not once did he pull out his cell phone and gather evidence of any of it, which is exactly what I would do at each and every turn. But besides that, he seemed like a decent enough guy. I loved part 2 and seeing what all was happening on the other side on the dilemma. It really helped clear some things up, and I enjoyed not guessing this twist. The final twist was a bit lackluster, but still expected it, of course. All in all, not a bad read. Super fast paced and you’ll be itching (haha, punny) to learn what Blake did to deserve this!

I really enjoyed this novel. While it shared some similarities with Freida’s other books, it still felt fresh. It definitely gave me vibes similar to The Ex, and I really liked the main male character. I hope she writes more from a male perspective in the future.

The slower than usual burn worked well here and I hope she'll consider to continue writing stories with similar beginnings. Even though I had a feeling where the story was headed, I’ve read every thriller she’s released so I’ve come to expect the twists, it still didn’t disappoint. In fact, this is my favorite of her last four releases.

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley, and this is my honest and unbiased review.

If Frieda writes it I am going to request it and read it. This one followed suite for me.

In true Freida style, this one is also fast paced and the story line starts unfolded at the beginning even before you think it has started.

Differences in this book from the others. This one is the first ale POV that I can recall so the story telling was slightly different at the beginning, Of course we get a flip half way through in part 2 but truly a different start. Once we get into part 2 we see the female perspective which of course is also great but just a different start.

For me the twist wasn't as shocking as they usually are but I still like the ending of the one

Freida did again!! Twists and turns. Classic McCfaden. I devoured this book. Highly recommend! I also enjoyed Freida's quirky characters and dark humor.

This book is my favorite so far by Freida! It drew me in like I was part of the story. The characters were predictably unpredictable. I figured it out , then realized there was more to figure out. The ending was great!!

Was lucky to be given an ARC for this one. Once I received it in my mail, I immediately started it.

Honest thoughts? It was definitely better than the last book she released. It was thrilling and would keep you on the edge of your seat. But, I don't know if it's just me or someone out there as well, was able to point out that some of her books will have the same climax but different backstories or outcomes.

The climax of this one is somewhat related to one of her books, just the way things unfold. But, I would definitely say that even if it was a bit predictable, the twist and ending was satisfying. Especially the epilogue part.

This was definitely a redemption from her last book.

In true Freida style, I was completely hooked from the very beginning. The story kicked off with a bang and from then on, the chaos ensued.

Following the story of Blake and his fiancée, Freida takes you on a journey full of twists, torture and torment as they have to take in a tenant in order to keep their home. I loved that the main protagonist was a male and having read many of her books, this was a great change!

It wouldn't be one of Freida McFadden's book without a huge bombshell dropped in the middle of the story and despite managing to predict it, the shock value was still there! After this, the pace increases and the story spirals to a shocking ending. Finishing touch? The Epilogue. Always finishes with a final twist!

The Tenant is everything you would expect from a Freida McFadden novel and I devoured it in 24 hours! I have read many of Freida's books and had this been one of the first I read, then I would have rated it a little higher, however, having read many others, the twist wasn't as shocking to me as others have been. Still definitely worth a read!!

I’ve had a great few weeks with my book choices and this, by far, has left me the most unsettled, shocked, and satisfied; this is my favorite by Freida McFadden. There’s nothing more upsetting than not having a comfortable home life and poor Blake Porter has the worst run of luck when it comes to his, up until now, perfect life. The twists and turn were disturbing and this whole book kept my heart racing for the second half. Dedicated thriller readers will keep trying to guess the twists and will likely get a few but that doesn’t make this any less thrilling. Highly recommended for a quick, entertaining read.

Bravo Freida! Just when I thought I had things figured out you throw these twists into the plot. You are brilliant!

WOW!!!! The Tenant by Freida McFadden has kept me on the edge of my seat, turning pages as quickly as I could (too bad work interfered with my reading time)!! I loved the details in setting and character development. Ms. McFadden’s attention to such detail helps me to visualize the action…ohhh and there was plenty of twists and turns. Even the building of relationships and background in the story never got boring to me. I enjoyed the way the chapters switched the point of view of the characters-I especially liked the male point of view vs the female point of view of the same scene!! I definitely would recommend The Tenant to anyone who enjoys twisty, psychotic reads!!! As always I’m already searching for my next McFadden read!!!

I would like to thank NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me to read an eARC of this book.

I am a HUGE Freida McFadden fan and have been gobbling up all of her books as they've come out. Having loved the recent releases, The Boyfriend and The Crash, I couldn't believe another new book was coming out! I obviously had to read it! And boy is it GOOD! The Tenant is a dark and twisty mix of consequences, revenge and secrets... think Gone Girl meets Netflix's "Worst Roommate Ever".

The Tenant follows Blake and his fiancée Krista. Blake suddenly loses his high-rolling Marketing VP job, causing financial stress. In order to keep his Upper West Side brownstone home, he and Krista decide to take in a tenant to rent their extra room. After sorting through a bunch of weirdos, they ultimately pick a nice, quiet girl named Whitney. But shortly after moving in, things start to go South very quickly, particularly for Blake. Mysterious bad smells, a pervasive rash. strange nighttime thumping. It all slowly drives Blake to insanity, and he of course blames Whitney because it started right after she moved in. Blake must figure out who Whitney really is and why she has it out for him before it's too late.

This book AMAZING and I actually did not see the twist coming. When I got to 70% of the way through the book (which I ended up binge-reading in less than 24 hrs) I actually screamed "WHAT??" out loud while sitting on the couch, making my husband very confused. Seriously, y'all need to read this one! Freida fans will love it and all my other mystery/thriller readers will eat it! SO GOOD! Highly recommend!

This book started off slow but became engaging as the book went along. There were twists that I did not see coming! I have enjoyed reading the author's other books and this one did not disappoint. I am giving it four stars because I feel that the beginning was slow but otherwise it was a good book. Can't wait to read the next one by the author.

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.
