McFadden's meticulous pacing and shocking plot twists keep readers engrossed until the very end, making this a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers.

I'm a huge fan of Freida's books, and this one did not disappoint! It grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go. The suspense grew as the book went along, and I was furiously turning pages by the end. Usually her books have one huge jaw-dropping twist at the end, but this one was more along the lines of one twist after another after another. There was one at the end of this one but it wasn't a huge one like usual. I definitely didn't see it coming, but I enjoyed the twists along the way much more than the ending one. Great book!

What an incredible read!! Once I started I could not put it down. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and the ending had me screaming! I never saw that coming! Phenomenally written with a suspenseful storyline. All of Frieda's books are amazing and I highly recommend them! Especially this one! Some possible triggers. Please research those before reading.

I’ve loved all of Freida’s books that I have read, but this one hit differently, and not in a good way. As a 38 year old English teacher myself, this one was a cringefest for me. The plot line was good and the twists were exciting and unexpected, but I struggle with teachers again being placed in a negative light. I understand there are some bad apples out there, but the vast majority of teachers are willing to protect our students with our lives not corrupt them in horrific ways.

This book started out a little slow but boy when it took off did it take off!! The ended to this book absolutely had me screaming!! Yet another fantastic read by her!

I love some Frieda! I’m an educator and this book didn’t disappoint. Just the right amount of drama and suspense. I love the last minute twist and plot. A part two woudl be excellent to see where the main characters next adventure takes.

Just when I think her books can't get any better, here comes "The Teacher". Like all of Freida's books, I feel like I know where it is going, and of course, I am wrong. The twist at the end, I was NOT ready for.

I freaked out when I got an ARC to read in NetGalley but had already preordered on Amazon. I can't wait to get my copy to read again and share it with others!

The Teacher is a book that will keep you glued to your chair until the end of it!! Nate and Eve teach at the same school and are fine as a couple until a student inserts herself into their affairs.
Views are given from each character and as it races to the end you feel the horror! This is not only what could happen but unfortunately does in today's world.

She has done it yet again! Just when you think you know every twist and turn, Freida McFadden throws a new one at you! Such a great read!

This is probably my second favorite book now! So many twists and turns I did not see anything happen that happen! This book deserves more than 5 stars! My jaw dropped a few times while reading it I went back and had to go reread the prologue and it all made sense!!!!

If she is coming out with a book I hands down pre order it each and every time and I will continue to do so until I can no longer read. This one blew me away. Gosh darn we all know those peer students like Kenzie, those crap starter stuck up cheerleaders. Just the way she does the chapters so fast one after another I just cant stop without finishing it in one sitting. The ending in this one was DEVINE.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I usually enjoy Freida's books, but it was still a good read.
Addie didn't want to go back to her old school, but her mother wouldn't let her transfer. Something happened last year and she know that it would be the only thing the other kids (and teachers) talked about. It wasn't even true. She told them all it wasn't true.
Eve appears to have the perfect life. She has a beautiful husband and beautiful shoes, but life is not as it seems. Her life isn't perfect and neither is her husband.
Nate isn't happy with his wife. He does everything he can to avoid time with her. He stays late at school to work on the school newspaper and pretends everything is fine at home.
All three of them have secrets. All three of them will do anything to keep those secrets quite because they will destroy them.

It took me a while to work out my feelings about this book. While I liked many of the thriller elements and Freida’s usual formal. The way the student teacher relationship was handled just made me feel icky reading it. Overall it wasnt for me.

Sometimes I wonder if Frieda McFadden’s books are just bad or so bad they’re good? I will admit I always read her books quickly and they are easy to get into but the plots often times are very sloppy especially in the case of The Teacher. This was probably the worst of hers I’ve read with an ending that didn’t even make sense. That being said I will probably continue to read this author…lol. She’s kind of like a cheesy Lifetime movie you can’t look away from.

This book has plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing through the entire book. It follows a high school girl who has taken recent blows to her social status with students and teachers. Her reputation is less than ideal and it’s apparent that she really doesn’t have anyone on her side. She gets a new English teacher and he seems to give her an unbiased chance for a fresh start but things are not always what they seem. I I enjoyed this read but I do feel it should come with some trigger warnings.

If domestic thrillers are your go-to genre, put this on your TBR list immediately. The book opens with a body being buried, then is told in dual perspectives of a teacher and student, leading the reader down all kinds of surprising twists and turns. Eve is a strict, no-nonsense math teacher with an addiction to designer shoes. Her husband, Nate, also teaches at the high school; he is the handsome, beloved English teacher, yearbook, and literary magazine sponsor. Eve worries about her passionless marriage, suspects her husband of having an affair, and is furious to find out the student who got her mentor teacher fired is now in her class. Addie, after the loss of her alcoholic father, had clung to Mr. Tuttle. Although nothing inappropriate happened, rumor and innuendo ended Mr. Tuttle's teaching career and set Addie up to be the scapegoat of the school. As she starts school the next year, she finds shelter from the peer bullying from Nate.

All the characters in this book seemed to have a sociopathic edge to them, which made the twists and turns harder to predict. Plan for time when you can binge read - you will not be able to put this one down until it is finished.

I absolutely loved this book! Kept me on my toes the entire time. And I definitely was not expecting that twist at the end!

An absolute phenomenal read. The characters are descriptive, relatable, and easy to follow throughout the storyline. This is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat and once you start reading, you won't want to stop. The twists are remarkable and will have you questioning how you managed to completely miss it by the end. You won't regret reading this!

I love Freida McFadden, and her thrillers are always full of plot twists, but this one just felt like it was lacking. I also want to say a huge TW for abuse and an inappropiate relationship. I was confused where the "thriller" aspect came in at first but about halfway through I kind of got what was happening. If you want a mindless thriller to read, I think this is a good read for you. I just finished a romantasy book and this was the perfect palette cleanser to cure my book hangover.

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and Sourcebooks for the ARC!

This is the second book of Freida McFadden that I have read. This is a psychological thriller with so many twists and turns that keeps you invested and wanting more. This book was a 5-star read for me; I would definitely recommend everyone to read it you won't be disappointed. The story follows Eve, Addie and Nate, it is told in 3 parts, the first part is in Eve and Addie's POV, the second is told in Addie, Nate and Eve's POV, the third part is in Addie's POV. Just when you think you know what is going on you get another twist. Addie is labeled a troubled girl, Eve is a shoe fanatic/math teacher and her husband Nate also an English teacher is known in school as one of the hot teachers.


Thank you to #NetGalley and #PoisonedPen for the opportunity to get an advanced reader copy of this book.
