Why the hell do we keep reading Freida McFadden?

In this Book Slayers episode, Stacey and Betty put the popcorn thriller queen herself on trial.

We’re talking The Housemaid, Never Lie, The Inmate, The Boyfriend, The Locked Door, The Teacher, The Tenant, The Crash, The Divorce, Dear Debbie and her newest release, The Witch.

We break down the Freida formula, her ridiculously bingeable pacing, short chapters, unreliable characters, endless secrets and those twists that either make you scream I KNEW IT or WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED.

Then we get into the Goodreads favorites, the lower-rated books, the Freida tropes we are sick of, and whether readers actually love the formula because it is repetitive.

And of course, we have to talk about The Witch.

Haunted house. Witchcraft. Family secrets. Historical mystery. Dual timelines. Ghosts.

Is Freida McFadden entering a whole new era?

You decide.

Plus: SLAY OR DECAY, unpopular opinions and the ultimate Freida question:

If you could erase one Freida McFadden book from your memory so you could read it again for the first time, which one would it be?
