The Tenant

Wasn’t my favorite of her books but still a good read

Wow, what a ride! There was some time in part 1 that was annoyingly repetitive but it has a purpose, so hang in there! It is worth it.

The plot definitely plotted

“The Tenant” by Freida McFadden This is a revenge story at its core. The whole plot centers on Blake who lives with his fiancée in a New York City brownstone. When he suddenly loses his job, the couple decides to bring in a tenant to help cover their mortgage. That’s when bizarre incidents begin to unfold at his place. Blake becomes convinced that the tenant is behind the growing sense of danger. I figured out who the culprit was within the first few chapters. It was child’s play for me. Honestly, the culprit takes a little more than half the book to finally trap Blake!!! I’d been anticipating this moment since the beginning and I just wish he’d been trapped sooner. The story really takes off after the trap is set. The second half of the book truly hooked me… especially when the narrative switches to the culprit’s perspective. It made everything far more gripping with all the lies, secrets and surprises finally coming to the surface. This is not a “stay-with-us” or “emotionally-rich” kind of novel but I’d say it was a fun, entertaining ride from start to finish.

This was really good, I would have never guessed who done it!
