HOLY SHIT！ If you’re looking for something you can binge read in one sitting that will keep you guessing until the epilogue， then look no further！ This is my second Freida McFadden book and it will certainly NOT be my last because WOW！ This book follows Mr and Mrs Bennett who are both teachers at the high school and Addie， a student who has a rather troubled past。 The Mr & Mrs are not particularly happy in their marriage and Addie has recently gotten herself into some trouble so we are following HOLY SHIT！ If you’re looking for something you can binge read in one sitting that will keep you guessing until the epilogue， then look no further！ This is my second Freida McFadden book and it will certainly NOT be my last because WOW！ This book follows Mr and Mrs Bennett who are both teachers at the high school and Addie， a student who has a rather troubled past。 The Mr & Mrs are not particularly happy in their marriage and Addie has recently gotten herself into some trouble so we are following the story of all three characters and the intricate web of deception and lies that they all weave。 This book was not quite five stars because I felt there were times where the plot was a little slow but she made up for it with those plot twists！！ Some were more predictable than others， but the final twist in the epilogue？！？？ Are you kidding me！！！ I never saw that one coming and my jaw hit the floor。 I screamed out loud。 Overall 4。5 ⭐️ Absolutely recommend！！！ 。。。more

I always know that I’m going to read the next Freida McFadden book and The Teacher didn’t disappoint。 It’s a fast-paced read that kept my interest throughout。 It was a little more predictable than her other books， but I definitely didn’t anticipate all the twists。

Dani Bueno ，

I really enjoyed this book！ The plot twist was crazy and I didn’t see that one coming at all。 Freida just knows how to pull her readers in from the very beginning。 I did find that there were a lot of gaps in the story and I wish we had more context。 There were certain parts of the story that felt rushed。 However I really liked it。 This is your typical Frieda McFadden book and you won’t be able to put it down。

As a huge fan of Freida McFadden， I assumed The Teacher would be as amazing as her other books， and guess what？ It was！！Freida has wonderful character development and her plot twists are legendary。 There were a few twists in this book that I literally dropped my jaw at。 Her tension-building between characters through the course of the story is the reason she's currently the queen of thrillers， and it's a well- deserved title。 Run and get this book！ It's great！！ As a huge fan of Freida McFadden， I assumed The Teacher would be as amazing as her other books， and guess what？ It was！！Freida has wonderful character development and her plot twists are legendary。 There were a few twists in this book that I literally dropped my jaw at。 Her tension-building between characters through the course of the story is the reason she's currently the queen of thrillers， and it's a well- deserved title。 Run and get this book！ It's great！！ 。。。more

A huge shoutout to NetGalley for providing an early listen to The Teacher audiobook by Freida McFadden！ This story was wonderfully messy， reminiscent of best Freida McFadden chaos。 I was initially wary of the mean girl vibes， but it all clicked in the end。 And the Edgar Allan Poe tie-in – pure perfection。！ The ending was classic Freida McFadden bringing everything full circle in an unexpected way。 Easily ranks in my Top 3 FM books alongside Never Lie and The Housemaid。 While some may find the re A huge shoutout to NetGalley for providing an early listen to The Teacher audiobook by Freida McFadden！ This story was wonderfully messy， reminiscent of best Freida McFadden chaos。 I was initially wary of the mean girl vibes， but it all clicked in the end。 And the Edgar Allan Poe tie-in – pure perfection。！ The ending was classic Freida McFadden bringing everything full circle in an unexpected way。 Easily ranks in my Top 3 FM books alongside Never Lie and The Housemaid。 While some may find the relationship dynamics challenging， it was a definite win for me！ A male POV was also a refreshing change！ 。。。more

Freida McFadden is the queen of twists and turns。 Just when you think you have it figured out， wham！ She hits you with another one。 I've read every single novel by this author， and this one takes the cake。 My favourite one yet！I listened to the audiobook version of this novel， and it was so well done。 The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the story to life！ I didn't want it to end。 Thank you so much to the author for continuing to write such interesting psychological thrillers！ Freida McFadden is the queen of twists and turns。 Just when you think you have it figured out， wham！ She hits you with another one。 I've read every single novel by this author， and this one takes the cake。 My favourite one yet！I listened to the audiobook version of this novel， and it was so well done。 The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the story to life！ I didn't want it to end。 Thank you so much to the author for continuing to write such interesting psychological thrillers！ 。。。more

EKoz ，

A truly fast paced Freida special。 Set in the halls of a high school where both our main characters teach， scandals unfold。 As expected， and in true Frieda fashion， there are several twists at the end。 Leslie Howard does an excellent job narrating this story。 The narration had two different voice actors that made the story come to life。 Chapter transitions were smooth。 I found the speed to be a tad slow at 1。0x but perfect at 1。25x。 Fun， fast， enjoyable and exactly what I expect from Freida！

This is the first ARC I have received， and it was a 10/10 this is Frieda McFaddens best book yet， it was like a roller coaster on steroids and I couldn’t put it down。 Definitely recommend the audio book as well。

I always see a lot of love for Freida McFadden and now I finally see why！ I ripped through this book， barely putting it down。 Quick chapters。 Great twists。 And a jawdropping ending。 So so good！

Stephanie Cicero ，

An intriguing and addictive psychological thriller。 This book kept me on the edge of my seat with twists that occurred right up through the final page。 Characters were well developed and the story felt like it was coming from the multiple different points of view it was written in。

3。75/5 starsThis psychological thriller kept me reading because I had to know how things turned out！ The Teacher follows two women， Eve， a high school math teacher， and Addie， one of her deeply troubled students。 In a Frieda McFadden book， nothing is as it seems。I found this book to be pretty fast pace， medium at some points。 McFadden does a great job of building suspense and tension。 I found the characters to be complex， as they always are in McFadden's books。 For the most part， I also believe 3。75/5 starsThis psychological thriller kept me reading because I had to know how things turned out！ The Teacher follows two women， Eve， a high school math teacher， and Addie， one of her deeply troubled students。 In a Frieda McFadden book， nothing is as it seems。I found this book to be pretty fast pace， medium at some points。 McFadden does a great job of building suspense and tension。 I found the characters to be complex， as they always are in McFadden's books。 For the most part， I also believe they were realistic。 The Teacher explores themes such as the ethics and boundaries of student-teacher relationships， trust and betrayal， and revenge。 The reason I gave four stars was because there were some places where I felt things were too coincidental and I didn't find the ending particularly satisfying。 There was also a loose string or two unless I missed something。 In some cases the plot was cliche。 However， I would read it again， especially after knowing the ending。This psychological thriller is comparable to others in the genre such as The Silent Patient and The Woman in the Window， but it brings it own unique elements。This book is perfect for anyone who wants something dark， tense， and mysterious。 It is definitely a page turner but contains some graphic scenes and descriptions。 If you are a Frieda McFadden fan I would consider this a must read。 。。。more

Thanks NetGalley for an advanced copy of the audiobook of The Teacher！ I’ve read most of Freida McFadden’s work because I always find her books to be quick， engaging， and full of great and unexpected twists。 The Teacher was no exception。 For the first part of the book， I was a little disappointed because I thought the story followed a very safe formula， and while the main characters were married teachers， I felt the story spoke more to a domestic suspense trope。 However， as the story progressed Thanks NetGalley for an advanced copy of the audiobook of The Teacher！ I’ve read most of Freida McFadden’s work because I always find her books to be quick， engaging， and full of great and unexpected twists。 The Teacher was no exception。 For the first part of the book， I was a little disappointed because I thought the story followed a very safe formula， and while the main characters were married teachers， I felt the story spoke more to a domestic suspense trope。 However， as the story progressed and more and more twists occurred， I was definitely invested to find out how the story would play out。 And that FINAL twist - literally had me saying “WHAT” out loud。 In the end， the title absolutely made sense and the overall plot developed beyond that initial “safe zone”。 All in all， another twisty and entertaining book from Freida McFadden！ 。。。more

I think I read a different book than everyone else。 This was so unbelievable and not realistic in the slightest。 I read a few of her backlist and I thought I’d give her one last chance。 It was over the top and none of the characters were likeable。 This book just gave me icky vibes。 I might have rated this higher if I read it， the narrator was awful。

It's "Darkness there， and nothing more" for one of these protagonists！ I love books with unreliable narrators， morally gray characters and a scandalous love interest。 This book definitely lives up to that hype and more。 I fully admit that Freida's books can be hit or miss for me but this one was definitely a hit。 This book has more twists than a soft serve。 Wonderfully done mystery thriller that will keep you cringing and guessing right to the very end。 4。5 stars Many thanks to NetGalley， Dreams It's "Darkness there， and nothing more" for one of these protagonists！ I love books with unreliable narrators， morally gray characters and a scandalous love interest。 This book definitely lives up to that hype and more。 I fully admit that Freida's books can be hit or miss for me but this one was definitely a hit。 This book has more twists than a soft serve。 Wonderfully done mystery thriller that will keep you cringing and guessing right to the very end。 4。5 stars Many thanks to NetGalley， Dreamscape Select， Hollywood Upstairs Press and Freida McFadden for the ALC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
