I finished this book in 24 hours. It was definitely one of her best newly released books. I was mad at myself at the end for not seeing the twist but i definitely didn’t see that coming!

Bought this on pre-release and then scored a chance at an early read. Finished it in a day and it’s another great book! Glad my physical book is on its way in a few days lol
this book had me STRESSED. I was so upset with Whitney I could feel my heart rate increasing getting so pissed off at all the stuff that was happening 😂 I think I was so focused on her crazy that I never took the time to try and figure anything out; so I was definitely pleasantly surprised by the twists. Pick this up if you get the chance and you won’t be disappointed!

As always Freida did it again! Just when I thought I had it al figured out (which I never actually have it figured out) BAM!!! I enjoyed the man point of view more than I expected to. Great writing as always!

The Tenant by Freida McFadden another 5⭐️’s for me….definitely in my top 5 of Freida McFadden books! The Tenant was full of twists & turns and once you thought you figured it out Freida strikes again with another twist! Perfect book for a day of binge reading because you won’t want to put this on down!

Freida puts something in her books that makes them unputdownable. I haven’t figured out what it is yet, but The Tenant was no exception. I was hooked from the first chapter.
This was more of a domestic thriller, but it wasn’t any less gripping. It had a great cast of love to hate characters, everyone in this book was varying degrees of awful.
I knew there was a twist coming, it wouldn’t be a Freida book without one! However, it took me right until it was revealed for the pieces to click together. Everything devolved from there after the carefully built anticipation and tension, and I don’t want to say too much to avoid giving anything away, but I will say that I support women’s wrongs when vengeance is needed.

Thank you so much to Freida, and Mandy at Poisoned Pen Press for sending me this eARC from Freida’s Facebook readers group!

Thank you Poisoned Pen Press and Net Galley for this ARC!

This book kept me hooked and wanting to finish it right away to see how it ends! I felt so many emotions during this book. You are second guessing so many of the characters like all of Freida’s books. Definitely a new top fave of mine of hers!

*NO SPOILERS OF THE STORY ARE IN THIS REVIEW*
Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the eARC! I’m still so shocked I was able to get one! 😭🤩

And yet again, Freida does NOT disappoint! I DEVOURED this book fast (I couldn’t help myself) and I loved how well-written Freida’s books always are. It plays like a movie perfectly in my head. There are some unanswered questions I have, and of course, there always seems to be just one little detail in these twisty thrillers that feels insanely far-fetched to me. Although, it IS fiction and definitely meant to be a literary roller coaster, which it absolutely is. Freida McFadden’s abrupt plot twists are the reason I have trust issues! Every time I thought I knew the next twist and turn, it turned out to be more than what I expected.

I very much enjoyed reading The Tenant and I’m still blown away at how Freida can think of these twisty thrillers with such unexpected outcomes. I bet her brain looks like a hedge maze with no dead ends. I loved this book, even if there are things that felt a little too improbable, the puzzle pieces fell together in the end, albeit a little jagged, I feel it made it even more of a page-turner.


**disclaimer: I received this eARC from NetGalley and am leaving this review on my own accord. All thoughts are my own!**

I absolutely loved this book!! It was so twisty and I devoured it!! Freida has done it again!! 🔥

The short chapters in first person point of view kept me hooked from start to finish. Just when you think you’ve figured everything out, I bet you Freida is always one step ahead!

The traps already set. This book was definitely a five star read and had me on the edge of my seat. The whole entire time a highly recommend getting this book May 6, 2025 when it’s released you won’t regret it.

I absolutely loved this book. I had a hard time putting it down. Once again she did an amazing job with keeping us hooked and surprising twists. I thought I had it completely figured out and then bam surprise your wrong.

Yet another amazing and unpredictable Frieda book. Just when you think you have it figured out she hits you with that plot twist. This book was so good. I belive it was her first book.from a male POV, and it was top notch. So good!!

Thank you to Mandy at Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC of The Tenant. The Queen of twists never fails! This book had me guessing throughout the whole thing, but I did not see the twists coming! It leaves you questioning the characters while trying to figure out who to believe. Like every Freida book I highly recommend this one as a fast paced read you will fly through. Freida can always get you out of a reading slump with her simple fast paced writing style.

Thank you for allowing me to read this book as an ARC.
OMG I absolutely loved this book!!! In true Freida fashion, it keeps the reader glued to the book and unable to stop reading!
There is nothing about this book that bothered me. The story line is absolutely perfect and all my guesses of course were wrong! Lol I read this book in a day; I love the shorter chapters and all the different view points of the protagonists.
This book is perfect and I am sure every Freida fan will love it too! Another 5 🌟 read for me!

I'm so incredibly fortunate and grateful to have received an ARC. The plot twist blew me away! It was totally unexpected! I was so sure that the actual tenant was the villian. Goes to show that the ones that you love can literally stab you in the back and use your vulnerabilities against you. The book was a dark, thrilling, suspenseful, nail-biting, edge of your seat psychological thriller. Loved the book!

This book is classic Freida style and I absolutely loved it! The vibes were all there. I had so much fun reading this. I enjoyed reading Blake’s POV and the overall story. I enjoyed the WOW moments. This is definitely one of my favorites!

I just finished The Tenant and absolutely loved it from start to finish. It hooked me from the very first page with strong character development and nonstop suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put it down—one of the many reasons I love Freida McFadden’s books. They grab you right away and never let go.

Before discovering Freida’s books last month, I was in a serious reading slump. Now I’ve just finished my sixth one and I’m already excited for the next! Her stories never disappoint.

This was also my first e-ARC and I’m so grateful to Mandy Chahal, Freida McFadden and Poisoned Pen for the opportunity to read The Tenant early.

First and foremost, thank you Freida, Mandi and Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me the opportunity to read and review the ARC of “The Tenant.” Now, let’s get into it:

Hold the microphone! The main character in this novel is a male. If I am not mistaken, I believe this may be the only book Frieda has written that includes and details the point of view from a man’s perspective. What a challenge that must have been to “think” like a man, because I don’t even attempt that in my everyday life, let alone write about it. Bravo Frieda, well done!

Immediately out of the gates, tempers are flaring, and the twists begin. Our handsome main character, Blake, loses his job out of nowhere, and is forced to figure out how he is going to survive, because we all got bills, you know? Blake and his lovely fiancée’ decide that to make ends meet, they will allow a tenant to move into their residence with them even if it is just temporary to help offset some of the sudden loss of income.

Now, we all know what happens, que, the tenant: immediately after moving into the residence, things began happening, strange things. Who’s to blame? Is Blake losing his mind? Women certainly can make you do crazy things, is it because Blake is clearly attracted to this tenant? Or is it something more sinister? Insanity?

This novel had me guessing from the beginning, and the downward spiral of chaos sent me reeling. What a twisty, psychological thriller, you will find yourself questioning everything and everyone around you. I reread the ending of the novel three times just to make sure I had the full effect of what happened. Another great work of art by Frieda!

Overall, I really enjoyed the novel itself, I will admit that I did feel some of the chapters and details were overly drawn out or repetitive if you will, which in turn made me bored. I will say halfway through the book, I hit a reader’s block, and didn’t have the normal motivation I usually have when reading a Freida novel. If you notice the dates read, you will see that this novel took me a month to finish. However, I am so glad I pushed through because the ending and plot twist was so rewarding.

Thank you again, Frieda, Mandi and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity!

Another fast paced thriller from Freida! Quick and easy read that I didn’t want to put down. The story starts off strong when Blake is fired from his new and lucrative job as a VP in Manhattan. He doesn’t understand why he lost his job but his fiancé is understanding and supportive during this time. She suggests they get a tenant to help make ends meet and then unexpected things start to happen.
Thank you Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the digital ARC.

I can’t with my girl Freida! This is too much! The male perspective! The twist! The second twist! WOW is all I can say. I can’t wait to recommend this to my students because they KNOW everything but not this time! Just when they think they will have figured it all out, Freida is like NOPE! Here’s another twist for ya!
