As someone who has read EVERY Freida McFadden book, this book was done so differently. And I am here for every second of it. When the blurb first came out, I knew I would be devouring it. It had all the elements to make a banger thriller - an old, OLD house, inhabited by three super old people and believed to be haunted. And I did devour it.

The Divorce by Freida McFadden is proof that if a formula works well, your readers will ride the wave. No matter how messy and morbidly entertaining that particular wave is.

Once again, a book convinced me to abandon my sleep schedule. I picked up The Wedding Vow by Dandy Smith as a casual, light read, hoping it will break me past my fortnight-long reading slump. And boy, did it work. In fact, it practically catapulted me past it. I was a woman possessed at 2 AM in the morning, frantically tapping away at my tablet, gobbling up the words on the page.

There are books that entertain you. Then there are books that hijack your life and compel you to finish reading until your eyes are burning at 4 in the morning. The story follows Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer hired to complete the remaining books of a blockbuster series after its original author, Verity Crawford, is incapacitated in a devastating accident.

The Tenant by Freida McFadden made me irrationally furious over something as seemingly mundane as bad smells. I gave this book a solid 4.5 stars, because it did exactly what it set out to do — make me deeply, viscerally uncomfortable. And honestly? That counts for a lot.
