This is definitely in my top 5 of Freida's books! It was so easy to read and kept me hooked the whole time. I loved it!

Freeiiidaaaa! Freida what is in here...is it crack? Red-40?

Blurb:
In this book we follow Eve and Nate, two teachers who are married and both work at a local high school, Addie a troubled teen with a recent scandal involving a wholly separate teacher from the previous year, Addie's ex best friend Hudson, and the popular girl Kenzie. As you try to untangle the web of stories weaved you won't believe how truly interconnected they become. This masterpiece will have you gasping and then breaking your neck trying to keep up.
As a huge fantasy and romance reader, I'm always looking for that perfect palette cleanser and this book was just that. I genuinely enjoyed this read but this didn't come as a surprise as I truly enjoy Freida's books.
I highly suggest snuggling up to binge it.

Omg, this book is so good. I finished it within 24 hours. There are many twists that I've become to realize that is Freida's writing. I recommend this book to those who love thrillers and her other books!

⭐️ 5/5

WOW! Freida did it again. I was so caught off guard by the plot twists, especially the one at the very end! I never saw that coming.

I truly enjoy the way Freida McFadden tells a story and builds the characters. This book was a masterpiece!!

Thank you so much Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me to be an ARC reader! I am truly grateful.

As is usually the case with a book by Freida, the opening line sinks you in - and the narrator is talking about them digging a grave. The book continues and is told through the perspective of a few different characters- Addie and Eve, at first. Eve is a teacher, as is her husband, Nate. Addie is one of their students. There are several twists in this book, and my jaw dropped more than a few times. The subject matter of this book may be triggering / upsetting to some (teacher/student relationship.) It was a bit hard to read at times because of that.

I do love Freida's writing style, and I LOVE short chapters, so I was able to breeze through this book quite easily. I definitely didnt see the twist at the very end coming.

I also wish we got to know the real story about Mr. Tuttle, but that is never fully explained.

Thank you to NetGalley & Poisoned Pen Press for an e-version ARC of this book!

The Teacher is a story shown from the POV of Eve, a high school math teacher, and Addie, an 11th grade student at the same school Eve teaches at. Eve's husband Nate, is also a teacher at this school. The "hottest" teacher, actually.

Eve's life seems to be perfect. She has a good job, amazing shoes, and what seems to be the best husband in the world. Addie, not so much. During her sophomore year, there was a scandal between her and her math teacher. He was fired after parents were calling the school about the situation. Eve wasn't happy, as that teacher was her mentor. With this, Eve had a bad taste for Addie, but she had to suck it up, as Addie was in her class this year, as well as her husbands.

It's a no from me, dog.

This was my first Freida McFadden, and I can see why some may like the twists she brings to the table, but this made me have an awful taste in my mouth from the beginning. I felt as though the book was repetitive, over the top, and just so disturbing.

If you liked The Teacher (or A Teacher, I can't remember it) on Hulu, you'd like this.(there's your warning.)

SPOILER ALERT:

Here is your warning now, so don't read this if you don't want to know the ending.

Got it?

what. the. absolute. hell. was. that.

FOUR different relationships??? FOUR????? NO. NO. No.!!! The twists were gross and not at all your typical thriller. I regret accepting this ARC and forced myself to finish it in order to complete this review.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Freida McFadden never fails to have me on the edge of my seat. I've read eight of her books, and this definitely makes my top 3. Thank you to NetGalley & Poisoned Pen Press for providing me with a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review!

Let me just say how honored I was to be chosen to get to review this book.. Freida McFadden is incredible author... I read this book with then 24 hours.. I could not put it down. I kept wanting to know what was gonna happen next. You would never be able to guess what was gonna happen next. This is my absolute, most favorite book she wrote. 100% you will not be disappointed in reading this book or any of her other books. She is so talented. This book some how was so addicting. I'm looking forward to reading the housemaid is watching. Freida McFadden never disappoints!!!

In this story, we learn about Caseham High and the scandal involving a previous teacher and a student, Addie. We also follow the perspectives of Eve and Nate, two current teachers at the same school. Addie & Nate have a bond that is unlike any other, but its fallout is fatal. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for approving me to review this novel early and cannot wait for many more to read it on Feburary 6th! This may be Freida’s best work and I’ve read them all!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks so much to Freida and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC of Freidas latest book due out 6th Feb 2024.

Doesnt matter what the book is called, what its about or anything at all really - basically if Freida writes it - I'm gonna read it 🤩

I have read absolutely everything she has written and she never disappoints so I was super excited to get stuck into this one and as expected, it did not disappoint.

It had me hooked from the very start with short grippy chapters and an entertaining storyline.

I love all of her books! She is such a talent in this genre. Defo one of my favourote authors out there at the min! While this one isnt my favourite book of hers, (I thought some parts were a tad unbelievable) the shock factor was still present in typical Freida style. It was fast paced and kept me gripped throughout.

It was an addictive, shocking and twisty read and I defo recommend it if your looking for a good thriller book.

Flew through this one in one sitting and already counting down the days for her next book 'The Housemaid is Watching' to be released!

Thank you Netgalley.

4 very deserving stars from me

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Press for this ARC e-book.

Eve Bennett is a math teacher and her husband, Nate Bennett, an English teacher. Their marriage feels stale to both of them. As a new school year begins, they both have troubled student, Addie Severson, who got a teacher fired last year. Addie's life has not been easy and having attention from the most well-liked teacher in school has its perks. As student and teachers' worlds collide, dangerous secrets will be revealed.

I liked this book the best of the three Freida McFadden thrillers I've read (The Inmate and The Coworker). I thought the pacing was good and I was interested in the progression of the story. I was genuinely surprised by all the twists, but at the same time felt that the twists were grounded and believable.

This book left me speechless! The ending was not expected at all. There were so many twists and turns in this book that I was yelling and gasping the whole time I was reading it. This is by far one of my favorite Freida books she has ever written. I am so thankful that I was able to read this early, because it was amazing! I was hooked from the beginning and finished it in one sitting. Definitely a 5 star read!!!

HOLY SHIT! If you're looking for something you can binge read in one sitting that will keep you guessing until the epilogue, then look no further!
This is my second Freida McFadden book and it will certainly NOT be my last because WOW!

This book follows Mr and Mrs Bennett who are both teachers at the high school and Addie, a student who has a rather troubled past.

The Mr & Mrs are not particularly happy in their marriage and Addie has recently gotten herself into some trouble so we are following the story of all three characters and the intricate web of deception and lies that they all weave.

This book was not quite five stars because I felt there were times where the plot was a little slow but she made up for it with those plot twists!! Some were more predictable than others, but the final twist in the epilogue?!?? Are you kidding me!!! I never saw that one coming and my jaw hit the floor. I screamed out loud.

Overall 4.5
Absolutely recommend!!!

✨Book Review✨
The Teacher by Freida McFadden
⭐️⭐️⭐️
.
This book really should have been a two star rating from me. I was not at all ok with the subject matter, which is the main reason I would not recommend this book to anyone. The only reason I bumped it to a 3 is because I have to give her credit for writing another book I didn’t want to put down. I read on my kindle while driving to work this morning 😬 She really knows how to suck you in, but man I wish she would have not made some of these characters children.

Another great book by Frieda! I loved this so much!

I love how it gives different perspectives/narratives of each character!

Eve is unhappy and naive and feels that she knows the truth when in reality she doesn’t have the faintest idea of who her husband is!

So many twists and turns right to the very last page! Pre-order this book! It was amazing!!!

As a huge fan of Freida McFadden, I assumed The Teacher would be as amazing as her other books, and guess what? It was!!
Freida has wonderful character development and her plot twists are legendary. There were a few twists in this book that I literally dropped my jaw at. Her tension-building between characters through the course of the story is the reason she's currently the queen of thrillers, and it's a well- deserved title. Run and get this book! It's great!!

I was super excited to get this book early and It DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I love Freida’s books and I loved the twist when you think you have it figured out she drops the bomb on you!

Freida delivers a captivating thriller that keeps you on your toes until the last sentence. The twists in the last half of this book were so good, and even when you think you know what’s going on, everything changes! Definitely a must read book of 2024. You don’t wanna miss this one!

I always see a lot of love for Freida McFadden and now I finally see why! I ripped through this book, barely putting it down. Quick chapters. Great twists. And a jawdropping ending. So so good! Now to get stuck into her backlist.

An intriguing and addictive psychological thriller. This book kept me on the edge of my seat with twists that occurred right up through the final page. Characters were well developed and the story felt like it was coming from the multiple different points of view it was written in.
