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!

This was another great book from Freida, I throughly enjoyed the twists through the book the kept me on my toes and guessing! I also really enjoyed the male point of view! Great book!

I love all of Freidas books and this one did not disappoint! Once I started reading I found it difficult to put down. The chapters ended with the need to just keep on reading to find out what was going to happen. Knowing Freidas style I knew there would be twists and turns along the way. You almost feel you have it figured out and it takes another turn! Absolutely loved this one. The ending was perfect. Well done Freida!

‘The Tenant’ follows Blake, who’s running into a lot of bad luck as of late. Him and his fiancée have to get a tenant in order to make ends meet on their mortgage; however, strange things start happening after she’s moved in.

Can he figure out what’s happening? Or is it already too late?

‘The Tenant’ has all the Freida traits that we love - fast paced, incredibly bingeable and twist and turns along the way! I’m not sure if it’s because I read so many thrillers now, but the twists don’t seem as surprising and don’t leave me with the mouth open shock like they used to.

Nonetheless, I did enjoy this book and devoured it in a few hours. Of course a must read for all Freida Reida’s out there!

I finished this in one day.
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5 stars)
The Tenant is a gripping psychological thriller that pulls you in from the first page and doesn’t let go until the shocking final twist. As always, McFadden masterfully builds suspense, making you question every character’s motives while keeping the tension high.
The story follows Blake Porter thought his life was set—an impressive career, a beautiful fiancée, and a dream home in a historic brownstone. But when he suddenly loses his job, his financial stability crumbles, forcing him to find a quick solution. Renting out part of the house seems like the perfect fix, until his new tenant moves in. At first, everything appears normal, but soon, unsettling incidents create tension in the house, straining his relationship and leaving Blake with a growing sense of unease. The more he tries to uncover the truth, the deeper he sinks into a web of secrets and deception. As his reality unravels, Blake realizes too late that he may have invited something far more dangerous into his home. From the very start, it’s a whirlwind of twists and turns. Just when you think you have it figured out, McFadden pulls the rug out from under you.

I did find the MMC kinda unlikeable and I guess found myself rooting for the "villian" That said, the journey is still an absolute blast, and the final reveal is satisfying in classic McFadden style.
If you love psychological thrillers with unpredictable twists, unreliable narrators, and shocking endings, The Tenant is a must-read.

I was so graciously given an ARC of this title.

Another Freida McFadden CLASSIC!! I really enjoyed this one! It kept me engaged through the entire book. Good job Freida!!

I read this book in one sitting! There was one main thing that I predicted ("the who") but I didn't know "the why." It was an interesting journey to read and to get to the conclusion. If you're looking for some thrill, here it is! Even the last chapter, the prologue, had an interesting little twist to it, 4 - 4.5 stars.

I was so excited I got to read The Tenant before the actual release date. Thanks again to Freida McFadden for giving me this opportunity. This was not one of my favorite books by her. I'm rating this book a 3.5/5 stars. It wasn't bad, but also wasn't great. It had the usual great plot twist. The book was just not my cup of tea and that's okay! It was a good fun read though.

Okay, Freida. This one was amazing!! I do love a male main character in a thriller, and Blake was perfect! This is one of Freida's better books and I was pleasantly surprised when the first twist occurred and then it really spiraled.

This one also felt more dark than her other books. The antagonist is a clear sociopath but some of the things they did were shocking. Absolutely loved this one. Thank you Negalley for the arc!
