As always Frieda hit out of the park! So good! Not my favorite of hers but still so good! The starting was slow but got me hooked super fast

Sooooo twisty. That end was so shocking! The switch to the past didn’t mess anything up in my head. It brought everything so full circle. Honestly this was so amazing it makes me want to read more Freida McFadden.

Got this one off Netgalley and I am so glad I did.
I was looking for something different and this one came up so I gave it a go. It was a good read and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I thought I had it figured out and knew where things were going up to the point where I didn't. It took a turn that I wasn't expecting and I enjoyed it very much. If someone is looking for a story that will keep them guessing and pulled in this is a good one.

Not my favorite Freida book but still pulls you in right at the start! Easy and fun read. Might of been predictable to me but could be great for you!

Freida McFadden can never do wrong! She's the Queen of thrillers. This one keeps you on your toes! One of the best psychological thrillers!

This is one of my favorite Freida McFadden books! Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, you don’t! Fun read with a dark twist at the end.

FREIDA MCFLABBERGHASTED! this one had me hooked from the first chapter. I couldn't put it down and finished it in a day. the twists and turns and unreliable narrators had me second guessing everything. I cannot recommend this enough!!!

This was a fast paced, easy read that I couldn’t put down. It was an interesting storyline if a little far fetched at tikes. It’s a page turner with many a twist and turn. It’s well developed and cleverly written that it keeps you guessing. Brooke was a little annoying as a character when it came to her naivety and working things out. The ending felt a little rushed but it came together ok. It was an enjoyable read that I would recommend.

Thanks to Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read and review #TheInmate

This book wow!!
I was gripped from the very first chapter. I couldn't put it down. There were so many twists throughout. I thought I knew what was going to happen, but I was wrong every time.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to read an unputdownable thriller. With this being my second Freida McFadden book that I have absolutely loved, she has become one of my new favorite authors. I can't wait to pick up more books by her.

This is your typical Frieda book - easy to read and keeps you hooked until the very end with a twist you probably didn't see coming.
A few times while reading I thought I had it figured out - I didn't. Would definitely recommend for a quick but entertaining read.

I always have fun with Freida’s books. Fast paced, short chapters, straight forward story telling and thoroughly entertaining. Full of twist and turns, some predictable, some not. Although far fetched plot, I ate this up. When I find myself in a reading slump, I always turn to Freida.

Is there a Freida McFadden that isn’t edgy and gripping?! I don’t think this is everyone’s McFadden fave BUT I’m a nurse, soon to be nurse practitioner and this one hit close to home for me! This was a fun, saw some twists coming but never saw the ending coming, book. I would definitely recommend this to my thriller loving friends!

This was the first book I read by Freida McFadden, I loved it! I found it a quick read, and a great story. I will read additional books by this author again!

This was a riveting thriller about a girl torn between her boyfriend and best friend. Who actually tried to kill her? The memory is not clear. But after years, she is forced to confront the circumstances. It was edge of your seat excitement. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Freida McFadden for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my review.

4 stars!! As always with Frieda books, this was a wild and entertaining ride! Love that her books are so easy to fly through. I did waver between the two MMCs the entire book, which I imagine is the intent. I did guess a few small parts of the reveal but that did not bother me too much. I usually try to enjoy the ride without guessing much in my thrillers. If something comes to me while reading, it is what it is. The only thing that bothered me in this book (which is rare for me) is how frustrating the main character was. I often expect dumb frustrating MCs in my thrillers, but wow -- this one was a bit much for me. You literally had red flags blatantly thrown in your face and you (especially as a mom) ignored them. That was just beyond me. But, overall, another great Frieda read. She is an auto-buy author for me!

My first Freida McFadden book!

What I loved:
1. It was a fast-paced thriller!
2. While a thriller - it was entertaining
3. Loved the ending!

What I didn't like:
1. The female lead is more than frustrating and just too innocent for the experience she has had.


Many thanks to Net Galley and the Hollywood Upstairs Press for providing an arc.

I love Freida more and more after I read her books! The way she seamlessly threads the plot and the characters together makes her work amazing. I started reading this booking thinking I knew what was going to happen and was completely given a 180 with the plot twist! If you like mystery thrillers you should definitely check out her books!

ARC Read: This was my first Freida McFadden book. I expected a lot of twists from reviews of her other books, and this one definitely twisted. A little predictable if you know there’s twists going in, but entertaining enough overall for what I expected of it, which was a light beach-read suspense novel. Finished in less than 2 days and I’ll probably pick up other books by this author when I’m looking for quick, easy suspense/thrill reads. The formatting sucked in this and I’m not sure if it’s because it’s an ARC or just the way it was published overall. There’s multiple places where you can’t tell where a new paragraph starts, or when a new character begins talking. Also could have used a little more editing overall as the main character needlessly repeats herself in the same sentence or two. I’d recommend this for people just getting back into reading or looking for something that doesn’t take too much brain power to follow.

This book was absolutely insane. I put this book off for so long and avoided it because I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it based off of other reviews I have heard about it. And although the fmc did get on my everlasting nerve and give me concerns about how many brain cells she had, I enjoyed the book more than I thought I would because the plot and twists were amazing. I literally did not know who to trust. McFadden did her thing once again.

Thank you so much to Poisoned Pen Press and Freida McFadden for this eARC in exchange for my honest review!

3.5

The synopsis sounded good and in the beginning I enjoyed the story flipping from the present and what happened eleven years ago. However, as the story was progressing it started to feel extremely repetitive. While I was still constantly thinking about the different outcomes the author seemed to keep mentioning the same details over and over to the point where the reader becomes annoyed. The ending was somehow predictable but also one that many might not guess. It’s clear which movies the author used inspiration from. Again, I have trouble rating this one because on one hand I rushed to read it to see if my thoughts were correct. But does that necessarily mean it was a good book? I don’t think so. The writing is basic and the story itself just didn’t work for me. I wouldn’t recommend this book. If you’re a thriller fan there are better ones out there.
