I liked this book. Couldn’t put it down. I feel like I should’ve seen the ending coming but I definitely did not! 10/10 would recommend. love Freida’s work.

I couldn’t put this book down! What an addictive page turner this was! I was hooked the whole way through. Just loved it! This was my first book by Freida McFadden and it wont be my last!

Wow, I absolutely loved this book it's instantly became my favorite by Freida McFadden. I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy and I have to say that this is one of the best twists that I've read in a long time which is why she's one of my absolute favorite authors. Bravo Freida!

I am becoming a big fan of Freida McFadden! This was the third book I’ve read by her, and it didn’t disappoint. I’ve come to expect fast-paced plots, short chapters, plot twists, and psychological thrills in her work, and The Teacher definitely delivered. I love how this book used multiple POVs to move the story line along. In thrillers, I love when you’re never quite sure which POV you should be trusting or if you can even believe any of them. At times this book (because of certain subject matter and plot points) made me very uncomfortable but that discomfort only added to the reading experience for me and intrigued me to the point where I had to know how it was all going to play out in the end.

I read this book through an advanced readers copy.

I want to start by saying I am not the biggest Frieda fan. I really enjoyed the housemaid and I read many of her other works because they are fun and quick reads. I do not find her work to be super scary or suspenseful. It’s more of a fun thriller if that’s a thing. This book is a lot better than her recent release, The Coworker.

Pros:
I really enjoyed the plot for this story and the multiple point of views. I felt like Addie’s character was depicted perfectly as a teenage girl. I’m also a sucker for a twist in the epilogue! Loved that little information.

Cons:
I am not really into this obsession that was in the Coworker and in this book. It did not play a major roll in the story and felt like it was pointless information.

There’s so much more I want to say but I want this review spoiler free

I finished the book in three days. Once I got pulled in I couldn’t stop reading. Eve and Noah are a married couple that are also teachers. What secrets do they have? The characters were very unique from Freida’s other books.. The plot twist was good and I loved the epilogue. I didn’t see that coming at all.

Thank you to Net Galley and Sourcebooks for providing an early copy of The Teacher by Frieda McFadden

The suspenseful and disturbing The Teacher is guaranteed to keep the reader completely engaged in the twists and turns in the lives of several devious and malevolent characters. Following a general theme taken from Edgar Allen Poe, the book is a balanced mix of straightforward logic and the macabre. Author Frieda McFadden again incorporates a classic work of literature and takes it to a new dimension (her short story The Gift borrows from O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi).

Husband and wife teachers Nate and Eve Bennett, on the faculty at a high school ,are unhappy in their marriage. Enter a disturbed 16-year old female student in both of their classes who just the year before had been named in a possible teacher/student impropriety incident that cost the teacher his job. When student Addie Severson attaches herself to Nate Bennett, it is clear that this is much more than a teenage infatuation. The diabolical Nate will use this infatuation to his advantage that results in a riveting turn of events.

While the story contains some holes regarding parental involvement and police procedure, this does not deter from the drive for revenge and the ultimate question of whether justice has been served.

I’m usually a huge fan of her writings and while I will say the twists were on par, the rest of the story fell flat. The main plot of the story was a bit lackluster considering the subject matter choice and the double standards were just weird feeling. The twist at the end left some plot holes/questions about the logistics of certain items written into the story. The book is on the longer side which I don’t think it needed to be that way. I felt as though some chapters could have been left out and it would’ve been fine. Overall it’s meh, nothing superb though.

I am so thankful to have been selected to read an ARC of The Teacher. I have read nearly all of Freida McFadden’s psychological thrillers and have loved them all. This one is no different. This book is extremely fast paced and so hard to put down. I did not expect the twist at the very end at all! 4 stars ⭐️

Thank you netgalley for giving me an ARC for an honest review. Wow! Wow! Wow! I’m a huge Freida fan and I love all her books and I love the twist and turns of her books. When I tell you that my mouth fell open a couple times, my freaking mouth fell open a couple times! I did figure out the one part but that ending “Jay” I had no freaking idea! That had my mouth hanging open! This was such a good book. So fast paced and right to the point and it just kept making you want to read page after page without stopping. This was easily a 5 star read! I cannot wait for the rest of the world to read this.

I was so happy to be selected to read this book before it was released! I am a Freida fan and I was very happy with this one. Great twists all the way to the very last page! Definitely recommend!

Thank you Poisoned Pen Press!

Absolutely loved the twists in this book! I totally didn’t see the end coming!! Freida is the best! I have already recommended this book!! Can’t wait for her next one!!

I could not put this suspenseful, psychological thriller down. _The Teacher_ mostly follows Eve, a married high school math teacher, and Addie, a teenage student coping with trauma and alienation from her fellow classmates. Eve has been warned that Addie could not be trusted, and reiterated the same to her husband, a teacher at the same school. Inappropriate conduct soon occurs, and the twists and turns in this book will leave the reader at least with a feeling of unease, a success for a psychological thriller.

Another fantastic Freida McFadden book! I love how the different parts of the book give you different characters POV. The short chapters that take just a few minutes to read are a great bonus! The book kept me guessing the whole time, even about which teacher the title refers too. The student/teacher relationship is always so fascinating to read, and I loved how different Addie's relationships were with all of the teachers at the school. The epilogue was a fantastic addition to the story, and I'd love for more!

Fantastic book!!! I haven't found a Freida McFadden book yet that I didn't love! She puts so many twists in her books that keep you guessing. Love her! #Theteacher #freidamcfadden #netgalley

🤯🤯🤯Another great book by the master of psychological thrillers, Mrs. Freida McFadden. Having read all her published books it has been a goal of mine to figure out the ending correctly of one of her books. While reading this I so thought I had it figured out and was disappointed in myself for figuring it out. But keeping in true Freida style, I was completely WRONG. Ladies and Gents Freida has done it yet again! 5 stars all around!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I have to admit, I've been a fan of Freida McFadden for years (way before the recent surge in popularity). This is by far the best book she's ever written in my opinion. It has everything I want in a psychological thriller and more. There were characters that made me angry. There were situations that I did not like and that made me uncomfortable. There were twists throughout this fast paced story, and I'm telling you right now there's no way you're guessing all of them. The epilogue?? Oh boy!
100% hands down her best thriller yet. Go read it! It won't take long because this novel will suck you right in.

I absolutely Devoured this book! Less than 24 hours. It consumed me. It absolutely held my attention. I was totally invested in the characters.
I am putting this in my Top 3 of McFadden Favorites of mine. That's how much I loved it!! 😍
Twists, Turns, Secrets, Betrayal, Murder, Questions! I was on the edge of my seat. And that Epilogue!! 🤯😱
That's all I'm going to reveal. No spoilers. But Trust Me! You NEED to read it!

Just finished reading The Teacher by Freida McFadden.. It was so good! I definitely did not expect the ending. Lots of twists throughout the book. She did it again!

After reading it really think about it because there may be a twist you didnt even realize is there!

Definitely mind blown with this one!

Make sure to pre-order it! The release date is in February!

Not what I expected from Freida at all! Some trigger warnings for sure in this one…my jaw dropped midway though. I read in 24 hours because I had to know what was going to happen. A few mini twists before the big one. Freida is always entertaining and a palate cleanse for me.
