The Tenant by Freida McFadden

Frieda – redeemed. Really really good. ~Sheila

Blake is at the top of his game and trending toward a promotion that is pretty much a done deal. When he is suddenly fired for something he knows nothing about, he and his fiancée Krista find themselves having to make hard decisions to keep up on their bills, specifically the brownstone they live in and love.

Enter Whitney – a girl down on her luck and in need of a place to stay. Both Blake and Krista take a liking to her right away, and after having interviewed many truth-be-told frightful people interested in renting their upstairs space bedroom, Whitney is a breath of fresh air and her rent will release the tension of the bills until Blake gets on his feet again.

Yet – something is not right… Things start happening in the home that seem off… strange smells, rotting food found in strange places, all things that Blake seems to notice – but Krista writes off as Blake being overly controlling of their space.

But something IS wrong. As tensions and accusations mount, the strain is on all three of them.. but who is the cause behind everything? And is it much more than a sloppy tenant?
Probably.

Oh yes! I know in recent reviews I have given Frieda McFadden a bit of a hard time – pointing out far fetched plots, repeat of things within the books that fill like word filler, and even giving her a break for a while (which you can see did not stick as good audio is hard to find and I was s drawn in….)
I have to say – yowza. No page-filling repeat of words, no weak plot – all scary and wild McFadden on her game in this one. I loved it. So so much. This is the McFadden I enjoy… great story line, interesting characters, and you just never know with her.
She caught me completely off guard in this one is good ways.
Read it – you are welcome.
