Another thrilling read from the author!

The book is about teachers, students and secrets.

Told in short chapters from dual perspectives and compelling writing that sucks the reader I .

It starts out with Eve who is a teacher introducing herself. She teaches high school and her husband also teaches at the same school.

Eve teaches math while Hate teaches English.

Then we meet Addie who is a troubled junior. She is in both teacher's classes.

Eve is not happy that Addie is in her class because of a scandal last year.

So the tale unfolds with Eve and her handsome husband teaching.
Chaos ensues as it does in every book by this author.

This book had me glued to the kindle until the very end. So wild and surprising.


I rated it 4 stars and highly recommend it along with her previous books.

I will definitely be selling this next year.

Thank you net Galley the author and publisher

When Addie gets assigned two new teachers, one she loves and one she hates, she has a very interesting school year. Freida McFadden is an amazing author! She is excellent at developing characters that make you love and hate them at the same time. The twists and turns take you by surprise and I never would have guessed the end!

My girl does it again. This I found to be a HUGE redemption after I was let down by The Coworker. This was gripping, twisty, shocking, and everything that I've come to love (and expect) from Freida. Absolutely loved it and she got me again with the big twist. I swear no matter how much I try, I just can't figure it out! Thank you to @poisonedpenpress and NetGalley for the ARC!

Another book by Freida that left me mind blown at the end! I can honestly say I did not see the twist and turns coming throughout the whole book. But the last few pages had me saying out loud “no freaking way” and that to me, is a really good book! I felt pity, anger, frustration, confusion, sympathy and empathy reading this book then I have in awhile. The main characters captivated my attention in the beginning, and it was that way til the end. The Teacher goes between the views of a teacher (Eve) and a student (Addie) after a scandal happened the year prior. Just when I thought I had figured out the plot, I was quickly corrected Another great writing by Freida.

Thank you NetGalley for releasing this ARC to me!

Excellent book. Keep me guessing until the end! No one does thriller like Freda! Can’t wait to. Read the next one!

Frieda has done it again. I have read most of her books and yet I still have yet to figure out all the twists. Being a teacher myself I was so ready to dive into this book. I also love how her books are from multiple point of views. I become eager to read the point of view and the experience from each character. Which you see throughout this story in each of the 3 parts. When I began reading "The Teacher", Frieda had me drawn in from the very first sentence. And with the prologue you can never assume who she is writing, you may think you know but you don't, Throughout the story I found myself flipping back and trying to decode her clues and what Frieda wants us to know and what she doesn't. But yet again, I was like "OMG! WOW! She did it again!" I didn't see that coming. I had my ideas and instincts about what was going on and who was involved, but yet again I was shell shocked. Then during the Epilogue Frieda comes in swinging again for the final round to knock me out! My mouth was on the floor. I always am left wondering how she does it again and again in her books. Frieda, I love your writing style! Your humor and wit is so engaging. The way you develop the characters is perfect, but you don't bore me with love stories and background knowledge. You get right to the point and throw in twist and turns to keep my eyes peeled and not letting me get any sleep. I have never loved reading until I starting reading your books and now I can say I love reading! My favorite pastime.

All I can say is oh my! Beat book I have ever read hand down! Eve and her husband Nate have a troubled marriage. Both are teachers. Both have a student named Addie who is also troubled. What could go wrong? I really don’t want to spoil anything. Let’s just say there is infidelity, murder , and a lot of juiciness trying to figure out what is going on, who is at fault and how the characters fit together. So good! And I literally had my mouth open on a last little juicy piece of the puzzle. I really don’t want to read anything else until the next authors look becuase I will compare everything to this! Read this!

Thanks to poisoned pen press and net galley for the chance to read this ARC.

Frieda McFadden does it again. The twists in this books were unexpected. The characters were characters that you love to hate. Addie can bring out some sympathy, but she knows exactly what she’s doing and does it anyway! If you are a Frieda fan, this is must read.

As always, I am in awe! I went in blind on this one, not reading the synopsis and just winging it and I am so glad that I did! Freida has this way of intertwining characters' lives and wrapping it all up so nicely but at the same time making you question your own thought process. She is notorious for her gut punch at the end and this one was no different. Definitely didn't see it coming at all this time! This book has it all! A well developed plot, characters you love to hate, enough twists to make you second guess yourself, and a story you never want to end! This book releases on February 6, 2024 and I cannot recommend it enough! Preorder it now! You won't regret it!

Another great read from Frieda McFadden!

This is a fast-paced thriller you won’t want to put down!

From the outside, Eve and Nate have a perfect marriage, but every marriage has its secrets.

Addie is returning to school for the first time after a scandal but soon finds herself in the middle of an another.

I love the dual POVs that keep you turning the page to see what happens next! In true Frieda fashion the twists and turns, you don’t see it coming.

This would have been a 5 star read but some of it was a bit unbelievable (which is OK!) so it’s a 4.5 for me.

I have to say I had previously been disappointed with the last two releases (Ward D and Therapist Coworker), but this is quintessential Frieda!

This is a page=turner! I couldn't put it down. There are sensitive and triggering themes, so reader be cautioned. I definitely did not expect the twist at the end!

Another fantastic story by Freida! I was hooked from the beginning. She reels you in right from the start and has you unable to put the book down. The ending had my eyes open wide! Was not expecting that!

This was one of my top favorite books by Freida McFadden. I loved the storyline and the plot. She has great character development and it just an all around enjoyable, keep you on your toes reads.

Holy heck!!! Freida is one of my top 3 favorite authors! I wasn’t a huge fan of the coworker so I was a little worried about this one but she knocked it out of the park!!!! Another twist I never saw coming!!! Highly recommend!

Freida does it again! Her suspenseful storytelling is unmatched & The Teacher is no exception! The characters, the plot, the twists (and yes, there are multiple- in true Freida fashion) are amazing! Just when you think you know what's going on, she throws another twist to prove you wrong- up until the very end! This is another must read!!!
Thanks NetGalley & Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC!

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Poisoned Pen Press for the advanced reading copy of The Teacher by Freida McFadden, in exchange for a review. As soon as I saw the author, combined with the title, I knew I would embrace this book! This author knows how to build a story and you can count on a twist that you never see coming. Freida’s books pull you along like a fast ski down an interesting mountain; just hold on and appreciate the twists and turns of the story. The dialogue is real, with language that is believable, even when some of the actions of the characters are questionable. You can count on a pile of lies, some weird quirks, a quick ride to the main problem and intriguing solutions where the bad guy often pays! For those of you who work in schools, you’ll see the cracks in the plot (I’m referring to the surprise on the last page) but will still cry out in delight! 4 stars, must read!

This book was definitely my new favorite Freida read!! I definitely was thrown for a loop at the end and my mouth was literally hanging open! Absolutely a great read!!

Eve Bennett works along side her husband Nathaniel Bennett at the local high school. She has a good job and an incredibly dreamy husband. All the staff and students notice just how handsome he is. Unfortunately their love life isn’t at all what others expect. She’s left feeling like she’s missing something.

Addie is a junior who has both the Bennetts as her teachers. She dreads having class with Mrs. Bennett because she’s so strict and unforgiving. However the highlight of her day is seeing Mr. Bennett for English. Junior year has been rough because of last year… everyone knows what happened last year. As Addie tries to fly under the radar and survive school she finds herself drawn to her only ally Mr. Bennett. Her best friend has even deserted her to befriend the most popular girl in school who loves to torment her.

As secrets begin to reveal themselves you’re left questioning who is in the wrong? Is it really as it seems? Freida has produced yet another gripping thriller that will leave you glued to the pages as you devour it wanting more.

THE TEACHER was another fantastic book by Freida McFadden. I don't know how she does it, but she has a way of sucking me completely into the story. In fact, when I had to put this one down, all I could think about was picking up where I left off. Most of the characters were pretty awful but I did have a lot of sympathy for Addie. With every chapter I had hopes that things would get better for her, but it was clear that she was very easily influenced. The final twist is what shocked me the most, I did not see that one coming. Overall, THE TEACHER was a winner for me and I do recommend it, my only warning is to be prepared to stay up late reading!

Many thanks to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for my gifted ARC.

This review will be shared to my Instagram (@coffee.break.book.reviews) closer to pub date.

I didn't know a thing about The Teacher going into this arc, and if I could say one thing to anyone who is going to read this book, it's this: go into it blind. You will have a good time, but you'll have an even better time not knowing what the heck is going on.
📚
At first, this doesn't even feel like a thriller, which is such a departure from typical McFadden that I was wondering what on earth was going to happen to change the genre, but I needn't have worried because as usual Freida knocked it right out of the park with a story that kept me reading until 2 in the morning and an epilogue that left me with a hand clapped over my mouth and a gasp on my lips. I adored this one and it felt like such classic Freida that I am sure all the Freida Readahs will be absolutely delighted. I can't wait to recommend this one to everyone in February!
