This was another wonderful book by Mc Fadden. It kept me guessing throughout the entire book. The Teacher was an amazing book and I highly recommend it. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

Freida McFadden never fails to deliver. Once again, she has produced a thriller that absolutely smacks you in the face with a jaw dropping final twist of all twists. I did NOT see that coming!!!

This book is a lot darker than her previous ones, and the theme throughout is made even more scary by the fact that it’s believable and this sort of horrendous crime really does exist in real life.

In true Freida fashion, the chapters are short, engaging and enticing… “one more chapter” evoking, that leaves you still awake at 3am, wanting more.

This has to be one of my favourite books this year. 2024’s must read if you like a fast paced psychological thriller.
An absolutely well deserved 5 stars from me.

A huge thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for granting my wish for an advanced copy.

Oh Freida, never stop writing thrillers. This one was probably my favorite of hers so far. Better than The Housemaid! Told in intersecting points of view of Eve (a high school math teacher) and Addie (a high schooler), this one will keep you on your toes with VARIOUS twists at the end!

This was absolutely fabulous !

I was jaw-dropping almost every chapter with the fantastic McFadden style of twist signature
This one follows the life of Eve and Nate, a teacher-married couple at high school and a “problematic” young student Addie

It was a fantastic ride with twist after twist..

Thank you poisonedpenpress for the ARC!

Just finished! Now, what do I do?
I love that I’m provoked to thinking a lot after finishing this book!
This gross story called The Teacher was fabulous!
Sick? Yes. Infuriating? Umm, yeah! Twisted and shocking to the core? Completely! A thriller at its best! It’s yet another great, quick read with plenty of twists (that I never saw coming) by Freida McFadden. Bravo, as always, girl!

I found this novel to be the juicy pallet cleanser airplane read that I wanted it to be. Highly improbably and unrealistic, but definitely a fast moving page turner. Mostly predictable but much to my delight, the author pulled out a final surprising twist. If you enjoy scandalous Lifetime movies, this may be the book for you! Thank you to NetGalley for an arc of this novel- pub date: 2/6/24

Great one by Freida McFadden with a truly excellent final twist. Ive read and enjoyed many Fredia books and this is one my favorites.

I was very excited to receive an advanced copy of The Teacher as I am a huge fan of Frieda McFadden and an educator. The book had the typical shock factor at the end, but other than that I felt like it just read as a typical mystery.
I will still continue to be a McFadden fan and read everything she writes!!
Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for my ARC.

Freida McFadden....the name should be at the top of everyone's list for twisty, FANTASTIC reads!!! "The Teacher" is another winner!!!

I'm left a little speechless right now. I am a hard-core Freida fan, and as usual, this book was beyond amazing! The very end left my head spinning. It came out of left field, smacked me across the face, and it was over. I never saw it coming! Great job, Freida! I know for a fact that I will never be disappointed with anything she writes!

This book was probably one of my favorites I’ve read this year ! Freida never disappoints!! And the ending twist was phenomenal!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the queen of thrillers is back!! 🍎🔪

Pretty convinced Freida could write a shopping list and I would still read it (wonder what kind of plot twist that would have...🤔)

Speaking of plot twists... THAT FINAL TWIST, HELLO??!? Now that is something I did NOT see coming! 👀

Synopsis:
In THE TEACHER we mostly follow Caseham High's Math teacher, Eve and her student, Addie.
Now Eve is married to the same high school's English teacher, Nate. Together, they live a normal, comfortable life - both with a career they absolutely love.

Last year, Addie was the centre of a particular scandal, which has essentially left her all alone. Her best friend will no longer talk to her, the popular kids can't stand her.
Addie does harbour a few secrets, which she will do anything to keep from getting out.
Everyone else will say she destroys lives and is not one to be trusted... But is that really the truth? Is there more than meets the eye?

My thoughts:
I received the email for this ARC right as I was about to go to sleep and.. well... yeah I did NOT go to sleep. If it weren't for one eye giving up for the night, I would have flown through this whole book in one sitting. Butttt, close enough I guess!

I am all up to date with Freida's psychological thrillers, so I like to think I have some idea on what kind of twists she's going to throw in the mix.
One twist happened right near the end of this book and let me tell you: I felt like a ✨genius✨ predicting that one. But low and behold... she got me! Nothinggg could have prepared me for that final twist 🤯

Freida knows how to write an incredibly fast paced, twisty, unputdownable story - The Teacher was no exception to this. Definitely one that will keep you guessing right up until the very end! ..... literally though

An easy 4 star read for me! Whilst it's not my absolute favourite, it would still easily make around the top 5 I think 👀 (I think I'll have a hard time finding one to knock The Perfect Son and The Ex off their pedestal 🏆)

Thank you so very much to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC for The Teacher in exchange for an honest review ♥

Freida McFadden has done it again. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, another twist is thrown in.
I thought this book was wonderful. Each chapter flowed to the next and the characters were really believable. I’d love to see a follow up!

I just don’t think that this book was for me. I have read others of Frieda Mcfadden’s books and really enjoyed them, but this one gave me an ick with the romanticizing of the teacher/student romantic relationship. The twist was interesting though and that is what I do enjoy about McFadden’s books is that they are easy and enjoyable reads that are still unpredictable and exciting.

Freida McFadden did it again! Finished this book in less than 12 hours and loved every minute of it.

Freida does it again! She has such a way of telling a story that just makes you never want to put the book down. From the get go I was hooked!! The multiple POV throughout the book was a great way of telling the story from each side which made this book that much better! All the twists that I NEVER saw coming and that final twist at the end had be SHOOK!!! I would highly recommend this to anyone that loves a good psychological thriller because this is now a top favorite of Freida’s and I can’t WAIT for everyone to read it!!

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Pressed for the ARC!!

Thank you to Net Galley, Poisoned Pen Press and Sourcebooks for providing an early copy of The Teacher by Frieda McFadden.
Husband and wife, Nate and Eve Bennett, both teachers at Caseham High School. In my opinion with reading this book, it seems that Nate and Eve seem to be unhappy in their marriage.
Adeline (Addie) Severson, a 16 year old student who has both Nate and Eve as teachers during the school year. Eve being a very strict teacher and Nate more laid back, Addie seems to find herself being attracted to Nate, especially with the love of Edgar Allan Poe. Addie follows Nate's encouragement and join a poetry club at school called Reflections.
Throughout this book, I absolutely love Eve and Addie's POV and having their own chapters! But as I read, I did not like Nate. There was something about his character that irritated me. As I got the Part 2 of the book, it got worst. But the book definitely kept me on my toes!
Freida has done it again! I cannot wait for the physical copy to be available and add to my Freida book collection!!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Freida McFadden for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another great, quick read by Freida! I began this one earlier this morning and found myself immediately hooked. I finished it in one sitting, which is uncommon for me. I did not see the final twist coming at the end, and WOW! Another deliciously twisty ride by Freida. Definitely recommend!

Freida McFadden is a true delight. Her books are always easy to read and follow and the twists are great! The more books she writes, the better they get! The Teacher is no exception. It had a twist that I did not see coming. This book could be triggering to someone with teenagers, but I think she warns of that. If you are looking for a great psychological thriller with a twist this one is for you!

HUGE Thank you to NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and Freida McFadden for this digital copy of her newest release, The Teacher, in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start out by saying this one ... THIS ONE ... is not like the other Freida books I have read. I was not expecting what was on these pages at all. I was truly shocked at the plot/story line and it felt like I was in a lifetime movie. It was crazy.

I appreciate how there were not as many twists and turns and that the ones that were there felt actually shocking. For me, the majority of the twists were not "OH MY GOD WHAT?!" They were more of a "YESSSSSSSSS" if that makes sense. Although there was one that truly, and I mean truly, left me speechless.

Leave it to Freida to be the true queen of epilogues. No one can write an epilogue like her.

I think I"m going to have to give this one five stars because there's just not another Freida book like this one.

Thank you, again, so much for this amazing read.
