Typical Freida twists and turns! On most of Freida's books, I at least have an idea of where it may be going. (Even though I'm wrong 100% of the time) I did not with this book! Such a fun read and keep me thoroughly entertained throughout the whole book! Loved it!

3.5 Stars
I love a classic Freida twist, but her last few releases seem to be lacking the punch. I am unsure if this is because I am better at guessing them since I have read all her books or if the twists just aren't as hard hitting.
I thought The Tenant was an okay story. The writing is well done, but the actual storyline was lackluster. I didn't enjoy our MMC or any of the characters really which made it hard to care for the spiral he experienced. I've also noticed that it seems like Freida has been leaning into the "popcorn thriller satire" that she gets some flak for which completely just takes you out of the suspense of the book.
I do still recommend this as a fun quick read, especially if you're a Freida fanatic, it's just not my favorite of hers.

I was so excited to be an ARC reader and this book did not disappoint! Read in 1 day! Couldn’t put it down! As always I couldn’t guess the ending 🤯😳

Another Freida classic! Once again thought I knew what was about to happen but I was wrong !!! Have already purchased paperback to add to my Freida collection.

I have read several books by this author and have loved almost all of them. This one was no exception. I really did like this book and as usual had some twist and turns and characters that make you angry. However, most of it was a little predictable for me as I had figured it out about half way through. This is a quick easy read that will grab your attention so I do recommend. Thank you to Net Galley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC!

Freida! First of all, “Thank You,” and “Thank you,” to The Poisoned Pen, for this arc! This book had my attention from start to finish. Just when you think you’ve got the characters figured out, she gets you good with not just a twist, but a major twist! This book is one that I would have wanted to read in one setting. It was well written and very suspenseful. I’m kind of glad that work got in the way so I could think about it and enjoy it a little longer. This one had me like the first HouseMaid sucked me in!

I enjoyed this book, as much as I enjoyed all of Friedas other books. It was full of suspense. & kept me guessing the entire time. Just when I thought I knew.. I DID NOT!!! Frieda is the master of edge of your seat page turners. & you keep going until you find out what happens. This was a great easy read!!! Five stars!!! (My review from an ARC)

THANK YOU Freida and Mandy for the opportunity to read an ARC of The Tenant.
What a tangled web Freida so delicately weaves (wove?) for us!
No spoilers but this one gets all the stars. This isn’t a single plot twist type book. It’s more like a layered, complex dessert that gets more delicious as you go. You almost certainly think you know what direction it will take only to discover you have no idea how far Freida will go until the last few pages of the epilogue.
This is definitely a fantastic read that will keep you snatched in from the beginning! Even when you’re not reading, you’ll be wondering what Whitney and Blake are going to do today.

I was blessed to get an ARC of The Tenant! I am super thankful.
My thoughts:
Very much a Freida McFadden book, which is great! It sucks you right in from the beginning and you want to know what's going on while also kind of guessing yourself. I felt like some of the POV from the male character didn't seem super believable, but I'm also not a man, so what do I know? I ALMOST figured out the big reveal but there was a little spin I didn't see coming...that was exciting. However, aspects of the ending of the book seemed rather rushed.
Overall, definitely enjoyed my time reading this book! Another Freida win!
3.5/5 ⭐️

I always enjoy Freida McFadden books--actually, I was alternating listening to another of her books (The Boyfriend) while reading this one. The characters are always well defined enough that it's easy to stay engaged, the plots are suspenseful to just the right degree, and I always find I'm happy to get back to reading them whenever I have a chance. This book was no exception! It has a really great twist I did not see coming at all, with a few minor twists thrown in. There are, perhaps expectedly, a few plot points that seem far-fetched and some things that were a bit misleading, but all in all an excellent read and highly recommended. Many thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an e-ARC of the book. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5

I really enjoyed this book. It had some good twists that I didn't see coming and I'd rate it one of the top Frieda books I've read so far! You won't regret reading this!

First I want to thank Poisoned Pen Press and Freida McFadden for this ARC opportunity.
This book follows Blake and Krista through their relationship and a down time where a tenant comes in place. I really thought this tenant was causing all of the issues that were arising, but the twist that came about was absolutely mind blowing. This is one book I wish I could read again for the first time! Just amazing!

Thanks to Mandy Chahal, Poisoned Pen Press, NetGalley, and Freida McFadden herself for the AMAZING ARC of The Tenant. If you are looking for a jaw dropping, can't put down, book to read, then this is it! Freida has done it again.
When Blake Porter, a successful VP shares his Brownstone with his fiancée Krista (the love of his life), finds himself in some troublesome times. My heart ached for Blake, he only wanted to make Krista's life perfect. However, Blake ends up being fired from a marketing firm, where he is living his dream. Until everything falls apart, and he fears not being able to make the mortgage any longer. Will he be able to find another job? Will anyone hire him? Will anyone find out his secret? I truly enjoyed how Freida pulled everything together in this book. I also found some humor in a few of the scenario's.
Krista recommends renting one of their spare rooms to help with their finances. After several devastating candidates, along comes the perfect tenant. Whitney, a beautiful young lady needing a place to live. But, when things start getting weird, Blake realizes things are just not right. Will he be able to figure out all the strange things happening before it's too late!?
This is actually the first book of Freida's that I was able to figure out. I know, my mind was blown also. With that being said, I did not get all the clues correct. Even with that said, I still highly recommend this book. I give it a 5 star rating, as I feel all of her books deserve. I have read every book Freida has written. Being a huge fan, like all her books, they pull you right in and keep you engaged. I love all of her twists and turns, her jaw dropping endings get me every time. Do yourself a favor, don't hesitate, preorder this book today, and have it in hand on May 6th. Happy Freida Readahin'⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Captivating! I could not put down The Tenant. One of my favorite books Freida McFadden has written. My jaw was on the floor when the big twist happened. I could not believe it. I could not wait to finish the book. The characters are so engaging and relatable. Easy read, easy to follow along. I was obsessed with this book. I cannot wait for everyone to read it. It’s a must read.

I love Frida, but this book was not as twisted as I have come to expect from her books. It is a lovely plotline. I quite enjoyed going on Blake’s decent into madness. Honestly who could blame him. So many weird things happen, and it is quite lovely. However, I was able to figure out the twist early on. Outside of that main twist there was only one other small one at the very end of the book. That one I didn’t see. So that helped but I just wanted more out of this book in the suspense area. I still enjoyed it however and am looking forward to recommending it.
Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this title.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. Blake suddenly gets fired from his VP position and to make ends he has to have a tenant live with him and his fiancee in his brownstone in Manhattan. Blake and the tenant don't get along and chaos ensues. I had a hard time with how harsh Blake was with the tenant from the get go. Things quickly ramped up from a 1 to a 10 quickly which I found odd. I liked the twist that Freida came up with. Overall, this was a good book. Not as good as some of her others but still good.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for sending me an ARC! This book was a slow burn and I felt like I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop… but in true Freida fashion I was hooked at the end of each chapter wanting more. I love the twists and turns… and of course the end is jaw dropping. I haven´t read a Freida book I didn´t love! The POV of the male character in ¨The Tenant¨ was unique and different compared to her others. This was my 10th Freida McFadden book and I cannot wait to read more!!

I received an ARC of "The Tenant" by Freida McFadden, and while it was a bit more predictable than her usual work, it was still a gripping psychological thriller that kept me hooked. The characters were complex, and the pacing kept the suspense high. In pure Freida fashion, though, I never saw the ending coming, which completely shocked me. A huge thank you to Freida McFadden and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read this book. Overall, it’s a great read for fans of psychological suspense and thrilling twists.

Frieda is the queen of twists, even though you can sense one coming, I didn’t expect that particular twist. The beginning was a bit slow, but it quickly picked up pace, and even the last chapter surprised me. It was an easy and enjoyable read.

Freida is the queen of fast-paced, easy to read psychological thrillers.
Another one knocked out of the park by Freida.. I will always immediately read and devour a Freida Book as soon as I possibly can. They are always so fun, twisty and have me hooked immediately. This one, as always, lived up to my expectations!
I really love how Freida kind of mixed it up here and the main perspective is told through the male character.
This was a typical popcorn thriller that you knew pretty early on not to trust any of the characters or their intentions. This was so fun and kept me changing my opinions every chapter!
One of my, if not my favorite Freida book yet! I highly recommend reading this ASAP. I don’t think you will be disappointed AT ALL!
