ARC provided in exchange for an honest review。This book was everything that I was hoping it would be! So many head spinning twists that I had to take a break every few chapters and try to absorb all the chaos! The story is about a married couple that are both high school teachers at the same school who seem content and happy to the public but behind closed doors are struggling。 I loved all the drama but for some there were many triggers such as grooming, sex, and violence。 I would highly recomme ARC provided in exchange for an honest review。This book was everything that I was hoping it would be!

Whoa! I’m always so shocked at how Frieda’s endings throw me for a loop。 I was positive I was beginning to catch on, but nope! I was completely wrong。 Then the epilogue was the icing on the cake! I couldn’t put this book down。 I wish all psychological thrillers had this amount of twists and turns! Once again, Freida brings on the a-1 thrill!

An amazing author that has always written books that catch me off guard, but this one tops all the rest。 Although, you do have to go in knowing it is scandalous and unethical, as well as unimaginable。 As a teacher, these are considered "Bad teachers" and please don't think the rest of us could possibly do something like this。 LOL。。。One student, Addie, is coming back for the new school year after last year was scandalous involving Wow!!😳 Oh my goodness!!

The Teacher by Freida McFadden I was in complete shock with the fact that I was chosen to read this book from the queen of thrillers herself! But let’s get into it — This book is a duel storyline with a teacher named Eve and a high school student named Adeline。 I loved the way that Freida effortlessly switched between a Middle Aged character and the young teenager! She is a master at her craft。 There are so many unexpected twists and turns on this one! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS ONE!!

4。5 starsI’m a big Freida fan。 I like her writing style and her fast-paced thrillers with twists abound。 This one is quite possibly one of my favorites of hers。A 16-year-old student, Addie, has had a rough year。 Her alcoholic father dies, a teacher takes her under his wing and rumors fly about an inappropriate relationship between the two of them and it all goes downhill from there。 Addie and her best friend become distant, the most popular girl in the school targets Addie and bullies her relent 4。5 starsI’m a big Freida fan。 I like her writing style and her fast-paced thrillers with twists abound。 This one is quite possibly one of my favorites of hers。A 16-year-old student, Addie, has had a rough year。 Her alcoholic father dies, a teacher takes her under his wing and rumors fly about an inappropriate relationship between the two of them and it all goes downhill from there。 Addie and her best friend become distant, the most popular girl in the school targets Addie and bullies her relentlessly。 Mr。 Bennett is her “very hot” English teacher and he takes interest/pity on her。 She loves poetry and that is what he is teaching, in addition to the poetry club he convinces her to join。 He is one of the schools most beloved teachers and he is married to Mrs。 Bennett, a teacher most students despise。The story starts out with someone burying a body, but you don’t know who。 All of these characters (and others) entangle throughout the book。 There are many twists throughout the entire book。 The final twist left me with more questions than answers。 So many questions- but it was so good。Thank you to Freida McFadden, Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for an advanced E copy of this book。For more book reviews by Angie and Lauren, follow us on IG @BluejackBookGirls 。。。more

This one was no different。*Trigger Warning for sensitive topics such as grooming and child SA。* 。。。more

Captivating read with an ending you CANNOT predict! I am a huge Freida fan, so I stopped everything to read this book。 And boy am I glad I did! Everything got ignored while I devoured this book in one sitting。 This book has everything you could want in a thriller - characters you hate, scenarios that make you upset, scenarios that make you cringe, and a plot that develops quickly。 I just knew that I had it figured out, but there were twists I could not have predicted。 While I enjoyed this book, Captivating read with an ending you CANNOT predict!

More like 3。5 stars…it felt like a hallmark movie。 I enjoyed it! It felt like I could tell where things were going for most of it but there was some turns that definitely got me!!

Brooke Eileen

As an educator, I was so excited to read this book。 The beginning starts off so exciting with someone burying a body… and then it turns into a disgusting portrayal of child grooming。 I only made it 50% of the way through the book and then I had to stop。 From other reviews, I can see it only gets worse。

This was the most unhinged book I’ve read in a long time and I truly mean that as a compliment。 If I’m in the mood for a bananas thriller, but one that provides a great escape and is a whole lot of fun along the way I know I can always turn to this author。 Her plots are always slightly ridiculous and some things just work out a little too conveniently, but if you want brain candy this was a blast。 The chapters are short, you get several POVs and with lots of twists you will have a hard time sett This was the most unhinged book I’ve read in a long time and I truly mean that as a compliment。 If I’m in the mood for a bananas thriller, but one that provides a great escape and is a whole lot of fun along the way I know I can always turn to this author。 Her plots are always slightly ridiculous and some things just work out a little too conveniently, but if you want brain candy this was a blast。 The chapters are short, you get several POVs and with lots of twists you will have a hard time setting this one down。 Don’t think too much when you’re reading this, suspend all disbelief and just enjoy the ride and I think you’ll have a good time with this addictive read。 。。。more

*Cue Applause* This book was everything you expect from Freida and more。 Nate and Eve, a married couple and fellow teachers at Caseham High, find themselves involved with a student named Addie, who they have been warned is deemed "trouble。" The dual POV chapters has me turning page after page anxious to see what was coming next。 The epilogue was INSANE and I definitely did not see that one coming, however it did leave me with some questions and a few plot holes in my opinion。 Still a great read! *Cue Applause* This book was everything you expect from Freida and more。 Nate and Eve, a married couple and fellow teachers at Caseham High, find themselves involved with a student named Addie, who they have been warned is deemed "trouble。" The dual POV chapters has me turning page after page anxious to see what was coming next。 The epilogue was INSANE and I definitely did not see that one coming, however it did leave me with some questions and a few plot holes in my opinion。 Still a great read!! 。。。more

Emily

Enjoyably bonkers, but: A) the chapters in the husband’s voice were ludicrous; human beings do not talk like that (even if they are sociopathic serial predators who are obsessed with Poe)B) this high school needs to seriously overhaul their hiring and HR practices。 They managed to fire the one teacher who definitely wasn’t boning a student, and let the Bennetts run amok。Thanks to NetGalley and Source Books for the advance copy。

This book is amazing。 Now I usually can see the ending way before I get there, but Freida McFadden definitely out did herself this time。 What you think is a typical teacher student plot is not what this is。 You will experience tons of emotions and in for a real roller coaster ride。 Hang tight though because it is definitely worth it。

There are 2 teachers at the school who are married and have this student in their class and each see a different side to her。 The book is written in 3 parts and in 3 perspectives overall; Addie (student), Nate (husband/English teacher) and Eve (wife/math teacher)。 What you don’t know going in is that the marriage is on the rocks, and neither are being honest with the other。 I don’t want to give anything away, no spoilers here。 But I will say you have 4 storylines intertwined and combining … what a freaking ride。 Really enjoyed this fast paced and twisty tale。 。。。more
