My Review
The Ex is the fourth book in the DS Jenna Morgan series, and this one can be read as a standalone. Having only read one other, I did have a little bit of a feel for what I could expect with this one. Or so I thought...
The Ex is definitely one of the darker books I've read so far this year. It starts off with a bang, and it doesn't let up. It's a tense thriller that will have readers anxiously flipping through the pages to see how it will all play out.
Emily is immediately unlikable. I think she's one of the most unlikable characters I've ever read. She's absolutely insane. Not only is she hung up on her ex, Zak, but she refuses to believe he could ever want anyone other than her. She knows that if she only shows up on his doorstep, he'll immediately divorce his new wife and come running back to her. Can we say delusional?
When Zak's new wife refuses to get him for Emily, Emily loses her mind and attacks the pregnant Imelda, leaving her for dead. The only witness? The couple's young son.
Now it's up to Jenna to track down the crazy Emily and rescue Zak and Imelda's son before it's too late.
This is definitely a dark, sometimes disturbing read. It does contain some graphic violence which may trigger more sensitive readers.
There were a few times I had to set my Kindle down and walk away because it got a little tense. My anxiety was definitely through the roof while reading this one.
I enjoyed The Ex, though, and thought it was a really good psychological thriller. If you're a fan of the genre, or if you've read the other DS Jenna Morgan books, definitely give this one a go.
4.5 stars!
