Ah! This book! It sucked me in from the get go. I was so curious to find out what had happened. The more I read the more suspicious I became of the two guys. I couldn’t decide who I thought was actually guilty. When things started to unfold I was so shocked! But, little did I know they it only got more and more shocking. Twist after twist. None of which I anticipated. & the epilogue was a real mindblower! Wow. 10/10 highly recommend this book! It was well written & definitely kept me on my toes.
dark mysterious tense fast-paced

I’ve read a few of her books now and while I think there are some enjoyable titles by Miss Freida this was not it. I got plot whiplash. Basically the yes and of thrillers where you don’t have an unreliable narrator you have a big dumb idiot main girl.

This is my second McFadden book and probably my last. Once you’ve read one you’ve read them all.


Freida McFadden is like that F-buddy you keep going back to. You know you shouldn’t, you know there are better options out there, but there’s just something so comfortingly familiar about it that you can’t help yourself.

Did I get what I wanted out of The Inmate? Absolutely. Was it a little boring and kinda crap compared to her other books? Also yes.

Oh, and let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: there’s a character called Mark Hunt. Go ahead, say it out loud. I dare you.

It’s not her best, but if you’re in the mood for something easy, predictable, and mildly entertaining, it does the job. We’ve all been there.

There were so many plot twists u did not expect at all. When i was reading ‘the boyfriend’ i was right with what i expected for the plot but with this book i was wrong with this one.








I still can’t believe tim is innocent like how do you actually forget that she was almost killed with that exact necklace.

Freida’s books are such good reads for roadtrips or while listening as an audiobook on a walk. This one was twisterier than I even expected. Not my favorite but definitely still entertaining.
