Book Review: The Tenant by Freida Mc Fadden

 



There’s no place like home…

Blake Porter is riding high, until he's not. Fired abruptly from his job as a VP of marketing and unable to make the mortgage payments on the new brownstone that he shares with his fiancee, he's desperate to make ends meet.

Enter Whitney. Beautiful, charming, down-to-earth, and looking for a room to rent. She's exactly what Blake's looking for. Or is she?

Because something isn't quite right. The neighbors start treating Blake differently. The smell of decay permeates his home, no matter how hard he scrubs. Strange noises jar him awake in the middle of the night. And soon Blake fears someone knows his darkest secrets...

Danger lives right at home, and by the time Blake realizes it, it'll be far too late. The trap is already set.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden knocks at your door with a gripping story of revenge, privilege, and secrets turned sour…


My Thoughts

I have been looking forward to reading The Tenant since it came out and I can say that yet again I was not disappointed. What I appreciate about FMF books are the fact that they are fast paced and they keep you reading until the very end.

When Blake gets fired from his dream job as VP in a big company, he and his fiancé Krista decide to take in a tenant to assist with finances. After many failed interviews in walks Whitney, a young woman who they assumed would be the perfect tenant.

When Whitney moves in, things start to get strange in the apartment. Blake immediately becomes suspicious but what he discovers would leave him shook.

This book kept me on my toes to the very end and again I was not disappointed.
