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.

Received an early copy of The Teacher via NetGalley. Freida McFadden does it again! The twists don’t fail to surprise the reader. The epilogue is fantastic. So glad I am not a student nor a teacher. Eager to read again when I received my preordered copy. A must read! 👠🍎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Everyone hates Addie because she got sweet Mr. Tuttle fired for the high school when nothing really happened. Troubled teen Addie is trying to survive high school after the death of her drunk father. Her best friend, Hudson, won’t talk to her and the most popular girl in school hates her guts. Her only saving grace is her hot English teacher, Nate, who is annoyingly married to her mean math teacher, Eve. Things begin to quickly spiral out of control, but everything is not as it seems by a long shot.

I am currently obsessed with Freida McFadden books. Murder mystery dramas is the genre McFadden seems to write, with psychotic characters and crazy plot twists flying left and right, McFadden takes me on a wild ride every single time! The pacing is fast and writing easy to read. Her characters are manipulative and conniving. She always writes the first two-thirds of the book from certain characters POV, and then she will suddenly swap to the other person’s POV at the end of the story. Such a fun set up for the plot and to see the story for multiple perspectives.

I highly recommend this quick, fun read, dripping with manipulation and saturated with drama to any murder mystery fan and even for those who haven’t read one before!

Frieda McFadden's The Teacher was phenomenal! This story of a married set of teachers intertwined with the drama of teaching high school is an instant page turner. Each time I thought I figured things out, I was wrong!!! Freida's writing is a gift. I enjoyed The Teacher and even the lack of sleep because I continually said "okay, just one more chapter" after each chapter. 5 Stars!

As usual Freida sucked me in again. I couldn’t put this one down. The plot is sure to ruffle some feathers especially with her twists and surprise ending. I loved it. I like how the obsession of shoes in this one wasn’t as over done as the turtles in one of her past books. The shoes played a great part throughout the book too. I’m still laughing about the ending and dying about how she threw that twist in. Shaking my head….Well done Freida. 👏🏻

Freida’s books are always enjoyable, and easy to follow as you often navigate through multiple points of view. The Teacher could be triggering for some readers, but the way the author handles a serious issue makes the reader feel very satisfied, knowing that revenge was served well.

As is typical with Freida’s style, the ending left me with my jaw on the floor and wondering, “what in the crazy heck just happened??” I spent a few minutes thinking back through the book and wondering how in the world I never thought of this scenario playing out as it did!

The Teacher was a slow burn, with a nice steady build up to THAT ending that punches you in the gut. After reading the epilogue, I finally let out the breath that I didn’t realize I was holding….

Eve and Nate both teach at the local high school, and they seem like a typical married couple. Addie is a troubled student with a past, and happens to be in both teachers' classes this year. Beneath the surface of Eve and Nate's marriage lurks an abundance of secrets and Addie is only going to make things more complicated.

Buckle up for this twisty new psychological thriller by the one and only Freida McFadden!

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for providing me with an ARC. I love Ms. McFadden’s writing and this one was a gem. Her books are all so different but have the same great readability and suspense. This one started a little slow but I was soon caught up in the story . As usual to avoid spoilers, there isn’t much I can say except get your copy and start reading!

Fantastic suspense thriller! All of the great characteristics that make a wonderful thriller! The reader will be taken on a twisty dark path and the ending will leave you speechless!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
I'm not sure what it is about McFAdden but she keeps my attention in every book she has written.
This one is no different. Two teachers have secrets to hide which could ruin their careers.
This book was great and I will recommend it highly.
5 stars

I read this way quicker than I thought I would. I simply couldn’t put it down. This is my third Freida McFadden novel and I’ve got to say…it’s my favorite one thus far!

The Teacher chronicles the life of Eve, a high school math teacher and her charming husband Nate, who works as an english teacher at the same school. Addie, a shy and damaged teenager with a deadly reputation finds herself a student of both Eve and Nate, thrusting them all into a messy web of sex, lies, and murder.

Having read a couple of the authors other books, and relatively enjoying them, I thought I knew what to expect with this one. I was wrong.
The Teacher grabs you and doesn’t let go until the last page. Freida McFadden’s writing is quick and to the point. Her characters are complex and brutal, making you wonder who the protagonist is, and her plot twists always leave you speechless. The twists i actually didn’t see coming, which was very enjoyable to read.

I look forward to hearing more people talk about this in the future and seeing what more Freida has in store!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

OK! Well, definitely read this in one setting so that’s saying something. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a fly on the wall while two teachers endure marriage issues, work and school trouble to the highest degree, shoe addiction, and Edgar Allen Poe, you’ve found the right book. I can safely say that this read is up there with some of my favorite Freida books — the characters are likable until they’re not, the drama is insane, and the shoes are so expensive it’ll make your head spin. If you’re wondering whether or not this read is worth your time, I’d say so.

I love reading a book by an author when I know that I'm never going to guess the ending. Freida ALWAYS has a twist that is unexpected and once again she tricked me! Is someone cheating, stalking or compulsively lying? I guess you will need to read The Teacher to find out? Of course, you won't be sorry!
