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!

I rate this one a 3.75 stars.
I enjoyed the male pov! It was a nice change for Freida. It's her only book with a male POV.
I did figure out the twists, and the ending twist. Which I was suprised this is the first Freida book I got 100% right!
But it didn't ruin the story. I still found myself clicking my remote to get to the end to see if I was right.
Overall, I did enjoy it. Freida is one of those readers that are just easy, quick to read so you have to read all of her books.
Thank you for the ARC! I'll be adding it to my Freida shelf when it releases because I already have most of them 😂

Blake’s life seems pretty perfect—he’s got a great job, a beautiful fiancé, and a dream brownstone in a prime neighborhood. But things quickly take a turn for the worse. To keep things afloat while he gets back on track, Blake and his fiancé decide to bring in a roommate.
Enter Whitney—who seems like the perfect fit at first. But before long, Blake finds himself caught in a whirlwind of chaos, questioning everything he thought he knew.
Another fantastic thriller from McFadden! It’s twisty, fast-paced, psychologically gripping, and just a ton of fun. Perfect beach read!
Big thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Ahhhh this book reminded me so much of Freida’s earlier reads & I absolutely loved it! This one starts off from a male’s POV - which at first I went back and was like “wait what?!” because I am so used to female MCs when it comes to her books, but Freida absolutely killed it!
The characters were so well described I felt like I knew them all & was watching this all play out in front of me. Freida does such a good job at making you despise/love one or more of the characters and it works every.single.time. HOW??!?!
The buildup in this story is EVERYTHING I love about FM books. The story continuously keeps you guessing, questioning everyone, and has you on the edge of your seat wondering what’s going to happen next.
This was certainly one of my favorites by Freida recently & had all the aspects of a stay up all night to finish, legit unputdownable fast-paced thriller.
Thank you SOOO much Mandy, Poisoned Pen Press & NetGalley for an ARC of The Tenant!!

As usual, Frieda did it again! Loved this book and I couldn’t put it down! In true Frieda fashion, just when I thought I had it all figured out, she throws a curveball into the story line.

Thank you to NetGalley and poisonedpenpress for the ARC.
I was hooked from the very first page of The Tenant! I loved that the story was told from a male perspective—it felt fresh and different from the usual thrillers I read. The book kept me on edge, making it impossible to put down. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, that surprise twist at the end completely blindsided me! Freida McFadden does an amazing job of keeping readers guessing, and this book was no exception. Easily one of my favorite thrillers!

Aside from the Housemaids series, Frieda McFadden's books are often a hit or miss for me, but this one might be my favorite new release from her. In classic Frieda McFadden style, the book was addictive from the very beginning, and the short chapters made it easier to stay engaged. Having a male character as the main narrator was a new approach for her writing, but it worked very well in this story. The plot was suspenseful and filled with gruesome twists that kept coming until the very end . I believe this is a great domestic thriller that effectively captures a sense of paranoia within the entire story.
Thank you to NetGallery and to Poisoned Pen Press for my copy.

Freida McFadden once again proves why she’s a master of psychological thrillers with The Tenant, a gripping, twist-filled novel that keeps readers on edge from start to finish. If you’re a fan of books that play mind games and keep you guessing until the final page, The Tenant is a must-read. With its shocking twists and turns, this novel is another triumph for Freida McFadden.

I just finished reading The Tenant. Wow! I wanted to relish it since Freida won't have another book coming out for a while. Needless to say, I was not successful in savoring the read, I gobbled it up like Thanksgiving pie in one sitting. One sitting where I was on the edge of my seat, deeply engrossed in how this was all going to come together. In true Freida fashion it had your usual twists and turns that make your hair curl without heat. I wished it could have gone on for another 300 pages to be honest, but it was a great read. I will look forward to the next release!

This book was so good!!! I’m sure I say that about every Freida book, but seriously, I absolutely loved it!!! Those twists….so did not see them coming!
Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press for the advance copy!

The twists and turns of this book is just what I expect from a Freida McFadden book. It gave housemaid vibes in the best possible way.
Following Blake after he loses his VP job at a marketing firm. He's engaged to a woman named Krista. Well with getting fired and being blacklisted from other firms they decide to rent a room in their brickstone home. After finding someone who seems like a picture perfect tenant, things go well psychological. Blake starts experiencing issues with Whitney, the new tenant. But in true Freida McFadden fashion her stories are not what they seem. I absolutely loved the twists and the epilogue of course got me like they always do. I couldn't put this book down! A fast paced psychological thriller that reminds me of Freida McFadden "earlier" work. A definite 5 star book that readers of the housemaid trilogy will absolutely fall in love with like I did.

First I wanna thank Poisoned Pen Press for the opporturnity to read this ARC!
What can I say - once again, a typical Freida, and I loved every second of it! Read it within a day, with some small breaks - like a girl needs to sleep sometimes, after all.
We do meet Blake, who does want to marry his fiancée, Krista. But then he gets fired from his job. And in fear of losing his apartment while being unemployed, he agrees to rent the upstairs bedroom to a roommate. And that is when things start to get even more wrong than they have already been before....
Just as expected from Freida, this book comes with a fact paced story, short chapters, many twists and unhinged characters! I can not say much without spoiling the book, but I felt a little bad about how it ended. But then that is what Freida's books do to me - I often end up rooting for the wrong person, hahaha.
Anyway - go and grab your copy of The Tenant as soon as you can!

I loved this one so much! Her first ever male main character pov and she did not disappoint. It was a page turner from the beginning and I had no idea where it was headed. I loved the twist. It felt satirical to me in some parts which I enjoyed and had me laughing out loud. Very well done Freida!

Thank you poison pen press for the ARC!
