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!

The Tenant is so good! Much like McFadden's other books, I devoured it quickly. You might think you know where the story is going, but you don't. Just enjoy the ride that is McFadden's signature style.

Thank you Netgalley for the prerelease ebook.

Thanks to Netgalley for a advance copy of this book. I really enjoyed it. I felt the character of Blake was a jerk for the way he went about doing things. But he was an interesting character. Some things in the book were really out there and had me scratching my head in confusion. I really enjoyed the twist or two at the end. One of the people in this book is certifiable nuts or maybe they all are. You have to read it to find out. I look forward to more books by Freida McFadden. I've read a few but not all of them.

Most of us have had at least one bad roommate? But one bad enough to make your life miserable on a daily basis. This book will leave you guessing and following a twisted story of revenge. If you ware wise you will question everything that seems out of place, but like Blake was so in love with Krista he never questioned the things that happened until it was too late.

Wow what a ride! Every McFadden book I pick up seems to become my new favorite of hers and this was no exception. I read this book in less than 24 hours. Her writing style just gets better and better with each book. I love how you think you have a character figured out and she shows you more and more about the character and you realize you don't know the half of it! Oftentimes in her stories no one is completely innocent which is what throws you for a loop. Loved it!

_The Tenant_ by Freida McFadden is a suspenseful read that is intricately plotted with twisted characters. Told mostly from the perspective of Blake Porter, a newly engaged and successful businessman happy with his life in Manhatten, when suddenly his world falls apart. He is fired from his job and is forced to take in a renter to help with his mortgage payments, while also trying to keep his relationship with his fiancé Krista intact. Their renter Whitney seems perfect at first, but soon it’s clear that someone is sabotaging Blake’s life, and all signs seem to point to their new tenant. Fans of McFadden will be eager to read this psychological thriller.

This was a new to me author I was invited to read and I'm glad I did. This book was a wild ride! There was so much going on and I kept trying to figure out why Blake was losing his mind. That coupled with how the psychic predicted that something terrible was going to happen heightened the anticipation of what was going on. The way everything transpired especially in part two really blew my mind. Krista is a real piece of work. It was Whitney that got the last laugh though! The ending will shock you and have you feeling baffled. I highly recommend because you will not know what hit you. It had me in a complete tailspin!

Arc provided by publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Blake has it all a VP marketing job and beautiful fiancée Krista, and a brown stone in Manhattan. Until one day he unexpectedly looses his job and now he can't afford the mortgage. Krista suggests that they rent out a room to help make ends meet until Blake finds another job.

Things go great in the beginning and Whitney seems like a nice and normal person, then small issues start to arise. All of his shower supplies are empty and his cereal has been eaten. Once he confronts her things begin to escalate. A fued ensues and Blake feels like he is losing everything his fiancée and his his mind.

The Tenet is a masterfully written suspense/thriller. An extreme worst roommate ever situation. With plot twists along the way that you never see coming. Frieda McFadden knows how to write the perfect suspense/thriller novel and never disappoints.

Another great one from McFadden. The twists and turns are sure to keep readers engaged. Will recommend

This book is told from three different people’s perspectives. One is told from Blake, the boyfriend or fiancé I should say and one is told from his fiancé, Krista and one from the roommate Whitney.

Blake has lost his job. His company thinks he sold something to a competitor and they fired him on the spot but he didn’t do it. He claims he didn’t do it anyway so now they have to make the mortgage on the new Brownstown they just purchased so Krista comes up with an idea that they need a tenant.

That’s when Blake’s life took a big spiral. Odd things are happening his phone somehow ends up in her bed, he said she could use some of his things, but she used it all. And the gross one hair was in his lo mein, like clumps of hair and he didn’t realize it. What is going on?

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read yet another amazing title by Freida McFadden. This title grabbed me from the first page and kept me engaged til the last. I was quietly waiting for the amazing twist at the end so typical of this author. I HIGHLY recommend this book for lovers of psychological thrillers.

Oh. My. Gawd. What a crazy, twisty story! The beginning kind of crawls along then all of a sudden - BANG! The plot twist of the year award.

Freida McFadden’s The Tenant is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page. With its expertly crafted suspense, multidimensional characters, and a plot full of twists and turns, this book is a masterclass in tension and intrigue.

McFadden’s storytelling is sharp and immersive, pulling you into Blake’s increasingly paranoid world. The characters are richly developed, with layers that unfold gradually, keeping you invested in their fates. Blake, in particular, is a compelling protagonist—flawed, relatable, and impossible not to empathize with as his life spirals out of control. Whitney, on the other hand, is an enigma, her true intentions shrouded in mystery until the very end.

What makes The Tenant stand out is its relentless pacing and unpredictable twists. Just when you think you’ve figured it all out, McFadden throws another curveball that leaves you reeling. The tension builds steadily, culminating in a jaw-dropping finale that you won’t see coming.

This book is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers. It’s well-written, suspenseful, and impossible to put down. Freida McFadden has proven once again why she’s a master of the genre, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store next. If you’re looking for a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, The Tenant is it.

Oh Freida! Oops you did it again . You played with my heart… So in this one Blake and his girlfriend Krista end up having to get a tenant because Blake was fired and Krista is underemployed. After a hilarious array of possibilities in walks Whitney. She is a winner … or is she? She moves in and things start happening. She toiletries, eats up the coveted cereal, and mysterious things start happening. Could it be Whitney that is causing the chaos? Blake sure thinks so. As things start to pile up so does Krista’s patience with Blake blaming Whitney for everything. So what is going on here. Is it just bad luck that all these things are happening or is Whitney to blame? Here is where I will not ruin the first twist. But let’s just say there is one and it’s a doozy. As Blake seats out to find the truth he finds that he regrets his living situation. If only he had kept his job none of this would have happened. So dang good I could not put this one down. So juicy as always!
