If you’ve read Freida McFadden before, The Tenant will feel very familiar — fast, twisty, and constantly nudging you to question who the real villain is. The pacing is great, the chapters are short, and it’s the kind of book you keep saying “just one more chapter” to. This isn’t a novel that sticks with you long after the final page, but that’s okay. It’s very much a “junk food” read — easy, entertaining, and perfect when you want something fun and bingeable without a big emotional investment.

This wasn't my favorite book I've read of hers. It could have been my coming another book high. It felt slow in the beginning but picked up. Had twists and turns you dont expexct.

Freida McFadden did an incredible job with this thriller. I started reading the book last night and couldn’t put it down! The story takes on the point of view of the MMC, Blake. He loses his job, can’t afford the rent on his upscale NYC Brownstone apartment, and therefore his fiancée, Krista, and him decide to take on a tenant. After Whitney moves in, things get a little crazy. If you love thrillers, twists, and turns… I highly recommend reading this book. It was a very easy, fast paced, and engaging read!
