The Tenant by Freida McFadden

The Tenant

Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(5/5 stars)

Review:

A thrilling story with a shock of unexpected turns of events. The book starts with a suicide attempt at the office where Blake (the main character) works, an interesting foreshadow and hint towards the darkness of the story.

After Blake Porter was wrongfully fired from his high-end job, living in an expensive house in New York and living with his Fiancé Krista, who works at the dry cleaners, they decide to rent a room and share their house with a new tenant. They struggle to find the right person until Whitney Cross comes to visit. The perfect tenant, it seems, or will she?

As sweet and innocent as Whitney may be, all sorts of problems occur. Blake becomes known as insane with neighbours, friends, and even Krista starting to distrust him, bringing concern to his mentality, all because of what is happening in his house. He notices all of his cereal and hygiene products have been completely used up, rotten food in the kitchen. It must be Whitney. 

However, no one believes his assumptions, even his Fiancé. As everything gets worse, Blake must find a way to get rid of Whitney without becoming crazy himself.

Overall, this story was amazing. The truth about Whitney was unexpected, and I never thought that would happen. Figuring everything out and the multiple perspectives near the end of the book was an interesting route. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, although it was creepy in some instances.
