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!

I am always nosey about what is coming up next with Freida McFadden and her newest book, THE TENANT, seemed so interesting that I knew that I needed to prioritize it. This book is a binge/read-in-one-sitting type of read, that's for sure!

Blake Porter had it all—until a sudden firing and mounting debt left him scrambling. When Whitney, a seemingly perfect tenant, moves into his brownstone, she offers a financial lifeline—but also an unsettling presence he can’t ignore. As the walls close in and eerie disturbances mount, Blake realizes too late that inviting her in may have been the biggest mistake of his life.

Honestly, I knew immediately what was going to happen and I was right. It's about as obvious as The Boyfriend was (the characterization, the weird dialogue between the antagonist/s and the twist reveal, etc.) but as bingeable as it was as well. I liked this one more than The Crash, but ugh I am all over the place with McFadden books. I read this book in one sitting, so you know it'll be a fun journey, just don't expect anything unique or thought provoking.

Freida did it again!! I love Freida's books- I have read ALL of her books. I was so excited to read this book, and she did not let me down when I finished it!
I do not want to spoil anything to anyone-but this is a typical Freida book (in a good way, of course!). There is a BIG twist in the end which I did not see it coming. Highly recommended!!

Freida’s done it again! The twists were fantastic in this book! I wasn’t expecting how it ended and I loved it!

Thank you to Freida & Netgalley for sending me this ARC /First Read.

This was just ok for me sadly. I felt like it was kind of dry. All the characters I enjoyed and Freida did do a good job of making Blake scene insane.

I did appreciate the two Frieda twists as I did not see the ending coming, however it was very slow to get there. 50%-60% into it is when it started getting good.

Wasn’t bad just wasn’t my normal Freida experience. Still love her though.

Freida you did it again!! I thought I had this one figured out. I was on edge the whole book, keep me guessing and thinking I was right. The characters were my fav each one of them giving off there own vibes which was kinda hard for me to read which i love in a book. You truly stumped me with this book. This is one of my fav books written that I've read by Freida. @posionpenpress

Blake and Krista are engaged and living in a brownstone. Blake just got promoted at work and life is great, until it isn't. Blake randomly loses his job that he needs to make mortgage payments. Both Blake and Krista decide it is a good idea to rent out their extra room for some extra cash to help with the bills. Their new roomie, Whitney, moves in and then everything goes downhill!

I enjoyed this book! It was written so well that in some parts it had me thinking like "Am I going crazy." Such a easy book to binge! I always enjoy when there is multiple POV's to get all the different thoughts/ideas/etc. Yet when I got to Krista's POV, it felt kind of repetitive in certain areas. I also wish that we got more of Whitney's POV.

I absolutely look forward to any new book by Freida McFadden. She always has jaw dropping thrillers. And The Tenant was no different. I will admit it started out a little slow, Blake Porter is on top of the world. He's just received a great promotion, he's engaged to the woman of his dreams. But sometimes dreams don't last. Blake goes to work one day excited about his new job, however he is shocked when he's immediately called into the boss's office and fired on the spot, accused of things he swears he didn't do. Blake's life begins to fall apart. Blake and his fiance' Krista are trying to figure out how they can pay their mortgage. Krista suggests getting a tenant since they have an extra room. After interviewing many prospective tenants, Whitney finally seems to be their best option. However, its not long and things really start going wrong. Blake feels like he's lost his mind. So as I stated earlier The Tenant started out slow, but once I reached the first jaw-dropping twist, I couldn't put the book down. Once again Freida has brought her fans another thriller with many surprises and twists along the way. I was very lucky to get an early copy of this book by NetGalley to read and I thank them for the opportunity. I definitely suggest you get this one on release day. I guarantee it's another page-turner.
