Wow, just wow. Freida McFadden truly knows how to write a twisted thriller . Though I hated some of the characters, I tremendously love Freida's writing style. Just when you think you've figured it out, its completely something else. I felt honored to be picked to read this before it was released and I hope I will get this opportunity again one day. Thanks Freida for the great books.

I recently read a couple other books by this author, so when I had a chance to get the ARC (thanks NetGalley!) I jumped on it.

It was a fun, twisty read! It was also really unsettling and icky at times due to the teacher-student relationship, but that’s a given when you read what the book is about.

The twists! I, of course, thought I figured out one and even though I did, there were several more and the last one I definitely did NOT expect.

There were a few things that kind of bothered me, but can’t really describe without spoilers and overall I had to appreciate the twists and overlook a few things which is why it’s not a 5 star to me.

This book kept me hooked. The twists at the end was amazing! Freida McFadden is one of the best at twists and this one was no different. I also put my review of this book up on my tictok.

Oh my gosh..this BOOK. This was my first Frieda McFadden book and I need to read her entire catalog now. I was shook to the very last page..her writing captivated me.

The one thing Ms. McFadden is going to do is keep us on our toes! I was engaged right from the beginning to the very last page.

Another book by Freida that does not disappoint! 👏 This kept me thoroughly engaged throughout the whole book and I could not put it down. Twists and turns all throughout. Definitely recommend 👌

**Possible Spoilers** This is a book about two married high school teachers who both have secrets. I'm usually a fan of Freida McFadden books, but this one felt like something I'd read before until over half way through. The plot of a married teacher having an affair with a student, meeting in a secret spot at school, telling the student his wife is awful & she is his soulmate, & on and on. I stuck with it because I just knew McFadden had to have a twist coming. The twists did not disappoint, especially the final twist in the epilogue! Not my favorite Freida McFadden book, but still worth the read. Thanks for the ARC. I look forward to more books from this author.

This book is soooo good. I was hooked from the first few pages. The story grabbed me from the beginning and i couldnt wait to finish!

This was probably more of 3.5. Thank you to netgalley for allowing me to read and review this arc. I like Freida McFadden. After the Housemaid, I will read anything she writes. I thought this was good. I read it in a day. Like most of her books, this was a really quick and easy read. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the Housemaid. It did have a good twist but I wish the ending was a little longer. The twist came so quickly, I had to read it twice to make sure I knew exactly what had just happened. The characters are all unlikeable but that’s a good thing. I think that was the intention because they are all really unreliable and awful. I almost wished this was as shocking as the twist in Gone Girl as it had a lot of those same vibes However, it was good. If you need a quick thriller to add to your book count, this would be a good one to read. I’ll definitely recommend it to my library patrons.

This was my first Frieda McFadden book and holy moly. I can definitely see why people are super fans. I will be adding this to our library purchase list for the month of February ASAP.

Thank you to NetGalley and Freida McFadden for the ARC!!

Every time I get my hands on a Freida book, I always think "she can't possibly do it again" & dammit I am wrong every time. I really thought I had this one figured out, but the end really shook me, I am still recovering. This book kept me invested the whole time & I had such a hard time putting it down. I feel like the highest point of the book fell a little flat but either way I still loved it!

Admittedly I went in thinking this was going to be a bit more of a thriller, but it's actually a domestic suspense. Highly recommend for fans of Frieda, this one won't disappoint.

First I'd like to thank NetGalley, Fredia McFadden, and Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book releases on February 6th, 2024

I could not stop reading this book. I had to find out what happened and who did what. There are three parts to this book. I always like when she does it like this because of all the different point of views we are getting. I also like the unravel in the end of the stories.

There were some incidents that occurred that I was thinking, "how in the world does that make sense?" However, I was left with my jaw on the floor. I knew what was going to happen next, it did, but with a twist and I was still shocked. I did enjoy this book, but I'll have to say this one was not one of my favorites from her. The ending definitely could have been better. My review can be found on goodreads.

JAW. DROPPING.
This is now my new favorite Freida book, sorry Never Lie!
This book kept me in the edge of my seat and had so many twists and turns. However the ultimate shockers were in the ending. In true Freida fashion it doesn’t stop until the very last page, my jaw dropped to the floor with that ending. If you’re a Freida fan this is a MUST read. If you enjoy thrillers this is a MUST read. Listen this is a MUST read!!!
Thank you so much Freida McFadden & Poisoned Pen Press for this Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for my honest review.

Freida does it yet again! I was so grateful to receive this ARC from NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and the queen herself Freida McFadden. As always, there were so many wonderful twists and turns that had me guessing what was going on until the very last page. My theories changed constantly and I never quite knew what was going to happen next at any given time. I highly recommend this book to any mystery/thriller readers. Freida always knows how to provide a quick, fast paced story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Thanks again to Freida McFadden, Poisoned Pen Press, and NetGalley for the ARC. Can't wait for the next release! This one comes out Feb. 6th and you can pre-order it now.

My ONLY issue with this book, if you could call it an issue, is that I feel that there was a lot of emphasis on Snapflash and its messages only lasting sixty seconds. Personally, I don't think you need to add that the messages only last sixty seconds every time you mention the app. I'd mention it the first time Snapflash is mentioned and then once more later on in the book. It wasn't important enough to put into my public reviews, but I really want Freida to see it here as it was something that made me giggle every time it was mentioned and by the end was mildly irritated that we had to keep mentioning that the messages disappear. Trust your readers Freida. I promise that the majority of us will see the correlation between Snapflash and Snapchat and will be able to understand its general mechanics. Thank you again for the ARC Netgalley, Poisoned Pen Press and Freida!

A literary masterpiece! Kept me guessing over and over as I turned each page. Addie was through so much throughout the entire book. With many new twists in each chapter. I thought Nate and Eva would end differently. Adding in the twist with Kenzie and Hudson just tied everything together in the end!

Wow this story has all the trademarks of Freida McFadden writing!!!!!!! Deceit, Drama, Scandal, and twists you won't ever see coming!!!!!!!!!!! Ya'll gotta read this one for sure!!!!!!

Freida McFadden delivers again. The Teacher has it all: twists, turns, and a surprising ending. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I will continue to read anything McFadden writes.

This book had quite a few twists, down to the last page! As I usually do with Freida books, I flew through it! Her writing draws you in as soon as you start and keeps your interest the entire time. I love all of her books and this one was a very solid thriller!

When I tell you that Frieda McFadden has been my favorite author since she published One By One, I've been hooked since!! She pulls you in and then has you guessing and second guessing each character in her books. And The Teacher was no different. It switches between a teacher and a students POV and I really wasn't sure who I liked/ trusted/ believed until the very end of the book. And by that point my mind was blown!!!! A quick summary of this book......A high school student is ostracized by her peers because the previous year she supposedly had an affair with a favored teacher which resulted in him getting fired. A teacher she has the following year takes her under his wing and praises her work for his class. Meanwhile, she also has that teachers wife as her math teacher and they don't get along too well. Throughout the book you get glimpses into each characters personal life and begin to understand how each person thinks. I read this book in two sittings because I needed to know how it would end!!! Freida is the Queen of Twist Endings and she did it again with The Teacher!!!!! I will 100% suggest and recommend this book to every reader I know!!
