Freida did NOT disappoint. I was invested from page 1 and will be recommending to my friends. I kept thinking "I know what's happening" but turns out, in fact, I did not.

Frieda McFadden does it again! In her latest novel “The Tenant”, Krista and Blake take in a temporary tenant to help offset some of their financial woes. But how much do they exactly know of this Whitney Cross. And exactly how long is she planning to stay.

Freida does it once again! Another AMAZING book! You think you have figured it out and like usual you’re wrong! I really enjoyed this book! I can’t wait for the next.

The twists kept twisting! I was getting whiplash, but I loved it and never guessed the twists! Loved the epilogue!

Freida does it again! Yet another book that makes me question everyone and everything! Who do you trust and who do you believe?? This book gave me flashbacks to living with roommates and man, I don’t miss those days for a second! There was a part in this book that literally made me gag! (That’s never happened while reading before!) I’ll be thinking about this the next time I eat lo mein.

One of my theories while reading this turned out to be correct, but I promise you don’t have ending figured out ;)

This book kept me engaged throughout and I was flying through the pages at the end to find out what happened. Although not my favorite Freida book, I still very much enjoyed it!

Thank you so much to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for the Arc!!

LOVED The Tenant! It is one of my new favorite Frieda reads! For me, this was a slow burn type of read until the last third of the book. I enjoyed the MC perspective. Like always, I thought I had this one figured out but I could not have been more wrong. This book made me feel so many different emotions, but the ending was fantastic. Another winner from Frieda!

I received this as an ARC - thanks NetGalley and Mandy Chahal​​​​ at Source Books!

3 - 3.5 ⭐️

I’ve been trying to put my thoughts on this into words, and it’s just not working. I think Freida has better books out there that I would read first. That said, the story was okay, but was missing the thrill factor that Freida’s books normally have. The character development for Blake was good and I liked the male pov, but the beginning was confusing and left me scratching my head for a bit. The ending also felt a bit rushed compared to all the detail in the rest of the book.

Freida McFadden is a known author, physical, and fisherman, skilled in the art of capturing your attention and reeling you in during the first chapter—- and this book is no exception. In fact, I’m going to need to see my own physician about a sore neck, likely due to the endless amount of neck-snapping plot twists. As an avid Freida Reada, I always come into these books aware that Every. Detail. Matters. However, she is still able to get my jaw stuck to the floor.

The Tenant tells the story of a young couple struggling to make ends meet in their brownstone. First, there is Blake, who has some pig-like tendencies and makes you question if you like and pity his character or if his shortcomings are deserved. Then we have Krista, who is the nurturing fiancé and may be a bit naive to all the blows life keeps throwing at Blake. The couple decide the only way to keep their home under the current circumstances would be to bring in a roommate… enter Whitney. After some more suspicious occurrences— of course, at the expense of Blake, we start to wonder who Whitney is and why she decided to move in.

As much as I would love to be the reviewer who has several notes about what I did not appreciate about this book, I have nothing to add in that regard. I appreciate how small components of the plot are important throughout the book, the quick occurrences of comedy, and how there is always a character we kind of can’t stand.

I think this book is a great read for those who appreciate psychological thrillers, plot twists, and quick attention-grabbers. It never takes me long to get into Mcfadden’s books (nor does it take me long to finish them). Although I think Mcfadden’s books should be and are appreciated at all reading levels, I will always recommend her books to those just starting to get into the hobby of reading to prevent them from picking up a slow-burn as their first read and feeling discouraged.

Thank you to Mandy at Poisoned Pen Press for providing this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Absolutely love Freida, I will never pass on one of her books!! The twist and turns keeps you flying through the pages, and when you think you have it figured out…think again! This is a top 3 for me of her books!! Absolutely demolished it in one sitting.

This was pretty good. I had a hard time getting into it at first because I found Blake to be incredibly unlikeable as a character, but as I kept reading I fell deeper into the story. This has a signature Frieda McFadden twist in it that I honestly did not see coming. I also found it incredibly interesting how the reveal played out. I feel like I have not read a book that does the reveal like that before. Overall I liked the book, but it was not one of my favorite McFadden books.

Wow frieda….. this has me hooked!! The plot twist had me shuck, this is definitely a 5 ⭐ from me!! I had the pleasure of getting a ARC and I am so glad I did… this is definitely in my top 10 of friedas books.

Freida is the queen of surprise twists, and The Tenant is no exception. This seems to follow the usual flow of Freida’s books, with twists thrown in here and there, and towards the end of the book, you get your standard major plot twists. She knows what her readers like and she sticks to that. This was written from a male’s POV, which is something different for Freida that I enjoyed. The male’s perspective was very well written and believable. Readers will not be disappointed!

Reading The Tenant through Blake's perspective feels like spiraling into madness with him. There are moments when you would genuinely think he's just losing his grip on reality, caused by overwhelming series of circumstances that could break anyone.

But, knowing it's a Freida McFadden book, you would know that there's more to the story. And there is.

The Tenant sticks to the formula McFadden often uses in her novels. While the "big reveal" felt predictable, it didn't take away from how much I enjoyed the experience. The story was compelling, and I was hooked from start to finish.

I had been craving a book that would remind me of the same thrill I felt while reading The Housemaid, and The Tenant delivered. It was a captivating ride. I finished it in just two days! This book will leave you eager to dive deeper into McFadden's works.

And, special thanks to Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC!

I love how every one of her books are so easy to read! The Tenant definitely did not disappoint! You’re left guessing the entire time and the twists are not what you expect! Freida McFadden will forever be a favorite!

Another perfect book by FMF! I really loved the fast paced way this book just sucked me in. I was hooked by the second chapter. I love when a book has me thinking I have it figured out and then by the next chapter I'm second guessing and thinking a different scenario. Did not expect that ending at all!! Twisty, male POV - five star read.

Freida has done it again!! A story that you can't put down, keeps you on the edge of your seat right from the beginning and those twists!! I loved this book from start to finish and had to pick my jaw off the floor a time or two.

Absolutely amazing! I loved it so much ! Thank you so much for the ARC A+++++ WAY TO GO FRIEDA! It was mysterious and I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the plot twist!

The Tenant features a couple in which the male has recently lost his job, leaving them in need of some serious cash. They pick a tenant to help them out financially. Soon after, said male starts having alot of strange things happen to him. Could it be the tenant causing it all? This is typical Freida style, meaning I was engaged the whole time and I enjoyed the writing. I did guess most of the twists, but I think that just comes from reading so many of her books. I still enjoyed it a good bit!

I had the exciting opportunity to read an early copy of The Tenant through a giveaway, I can say it's in my top 3 of Frieda Mcfadden's books. From the very first page to the last, I was entertained. It grabbed my attention and maintained a good pace throughout the book. It was difficult to put down. Thanks to Mandy and Freida for this early read. I can't wait to purchase the physical copy next month!

All I can say is oh my god!!! This book had me questioning EVERYTHING, the character development? the storyline? The PLOT?? THE TWIST?? Chefs kiss, Miss Freida you’ve really outdone yourself girl cause this book had me looking like a madwoman trying to piece together evidence for my own theory. During the entire book I felt like I was going through everything Blake was going through. Each chapter kept me sucked into the book and I genuinely couldn’t put it down until I realized I finished the book and that plot twist at the end? Literally threw me so off guard. I wish I could erase my memory to re-read this all over again for the first time.
