This book makes me think of the card game called Cockroach Poker. What? You’ve never played it before? Ok,here’s the premise: There is no winner and there’s only one loser. Yep. That’s what this book is like. 😆 Well,I read a Freida McFadden. The chapters were like potato chips. I hated every character. The twists were twisting. Was it a mystery? No. Was it a thriller? Also,no. My husband asked me multiple times if I was ok because my face was visibly horrified while reading this. 😆😆😜🙃Will I read another one of these? Probably not. But damn, if it wasn’t a crazy time.

Awful… a struggle… I always say never again with Frieda McFadden books and I stuck to it for a while but was persuaded to read The Crash. The latter was definitely better than any off her previous books, although still pretty bad, so in a weak moment I gave this one a go. No more… nope, I mean it this time.

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Though the characters weren’t likable, they weren’t annoying or grating, they were simply morally grey, and assholes. The final twist was perfect and made the book better. I liked how she sectioned the book and split perspectives at just the right point.

    Overall, a great thriller that didn’t go where I thought it would. I just wish it hadn’t been quite so gross in parts.

Narrator Rating: 5.0 stars

     The narrators did an amazing job; their voices felt like they fit how the characters would sound perfectly.

The child's death is that of an older teenager, and the animal's death is that of a fish.

Fast paced! Unpredictable! Twisty! Suspenseful! All the adjectives! Truly a wild ride. My 4th McFadden book and have yet to be disappointed! And yes some of it is unrealistic—who cares? It’s fiction!  It was entertaining! This was exactly what  I needed to read at the moment. 

4 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This author's books are absolute brain popcorn full of wildly unrealistic plot lines, and I love every second of every one of them. This one was not an exception. There wasn't a single thing about it that was believable, but it was a really fun read with a few twists I definitely did not see coming. This was a great way to spend a few hours without trying to think too hard about anything that was going on and it's well worth reading for the entertainment value alone.

Let me be honest—Freida McFadden’s books are kind of like junk food. You know they’re not exactly “good,” but you just can’t stop. The Tenant is no exception.

Now, are the characters annoying? Yes. Are the plot twists absolutely bonkers? Also yes. But there’s this addictive quality to McFadden’s writing—once you start, you have to know what happens next. Her books are the perfect palate cleanser when you’re in a reading slump or just need something fast-paced and unpretentious.

I wouldn’t call The Tenant “good” in a traditional sense, but it’s wildly entertaining, easy to devour, and exactly what I needed for a no-pressure read.
