I love a good domestic thriller and this was just that. An enjoyable read that had me hooked until the end. A must read.

This had a nice twist but it lost my attention half way through just wasn’t for me unfortunately I just lost it a bit in the second half

My Husband's Ex by Rosie Walker is an addictive psychological thriller full of unexpected twists. This is the first book I've read by this author and it won't be the last. If you're looking for dark family drama that feels like an absolute nightmare, this one is for you. The audiobook was easy to listen to. It's narrated by Helen McAlpine and her voice was excellent for this story.

Thank you the publishers and netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a RIDE!

Who's lying, who's being truthful? Ted's ex girlfriend shows up with her daughter in tow during a Christmas vacation getaway. Alice thinks she was invited but Ted insists that he did NOT invite her. The winter storm Is rolling in and it looks like Alice and her daughter will be staying for the holiday.

Something is not right with Alice, her daughter, and the dodgy situation.

Something is not right between Sadie and Ted.

Something may or may not have fallen back into place with Alice, Ted, and Ted's parents who are also staying at the cottage over Christmas break.

I was hooked from the get-go, and while I was deeply satisfied with the ending, I was confused by it also. I give this a solid 3.5 stars!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ALC of this psychological thriller!

I loved this book. I got immersed in the storyline from the very start and loved the way the plot unfolded. I look forward to reading more of this authors books in the future..

Many thanks to Netgalley and Rosie Walker for the advanced copy of this audiobook. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

So many twists and turns that my head was reeling. Engaging read.

Thank you to NetGalley aan the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Awesome.
When I hear her name, the world begins to spin around me. Alice – my husband’s ex. The one who broke his heart. But my husband swears he didn’t ask her to join us in our remote cottage in the Highlands, so why is she here? One of them is lying to me. Shivers run up my spine as I think about my two little blonde-haired daughters who are excitedly exploring the house upstairs. They’re just eight and six, have I brought them somewhere dangerous? My skin prickles when I remember the cold look Alice threw my way and how she walked into this house as if she belonged here. But before I can confront Alice, a huge storm hits and our power goes out. I’m down in the basement trying to fix it when I hear the lock click. I’m trapped. I scream to be let out, but Alice whispers through the keyhole: ‘No.’ My heart thuds hard against my ribcage, but I have to stay calm. Because I know something Alice doesn’t. She has no idea who she’s dealing with and she doesn’t know what I’ve done to keep my family safe. After all this time, I won’t let her take what’s mine…
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for giving me an advance copy.

I am 96% finished with My Husband's Ex (previously titled Ex Girlfriend) and I just cannot finish. All of a sudden there is just too much going on. I may go back and finish at some point, but for now, I have listened enough. Thank you Rosie Walker, Bookouture audio and Netgalley for the advanced audio copy which is Narrated by Helen McAlpine. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ok, that was one intense ride. This novel wasn't at all what I expected when I first picked it up.

It started off as a typical story about an old girlfriend attempting to rekindle a past relationship, with plenty of family drama and secrets. However, the novel's main focus turned out to be domestic violence, which became particularly prominent in the second half. The reveal of the story's villain later in the book caught me off guard.

Overall, it was a good read. I appreciated the unexpected twists at the end. However, the story leading up to them is quite convoluted, with an excess of unnecessary details. After finishing the book, I was left with a mix of emotions. I did like the final message of the novel, but I felt bombarded with information that wasn't really necessary. Nevertheless, it has a strong plot and a compelling set of characters.

I'd like to extend my thanks to NetGalley for providing a free advanced copy of the novel.

I think the writer was trying to go for an unreliable narrator without really understanding what that takes. I can't say more without giving away the plot, which sounds exciting because a family is in a remote location with bad weather when the husband's ex-girlfriend shows up. Nothing was consistent even as far as how snowed in they were and the story and motivations didn't really make sense. It was frustrating that the writer didn't play fair with the clues. The narrator sounded too young for the part, especially since it was supposed to be from the wife's viewpoint. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me listen to this audiobook.

I expected this book to be a little bit like a Lucy Foley novel: a family travels to a remote cabin for their Christmas holiday, trapped by the weather with their family secrets. However, this book also featured psychological abuse, similar to The Last Mrs. Parrish. However, this book had one too many twists to get to the end for me.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This thriller is intense and atmospheric. I could feel the isolation and desperation as the plot unfolded. The narrator did a good job conveying the sense of dread and hopelessness. The action slowed in the middle but picked up towards the end. I was entertained and intrigued to find out where the story was headed. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for my audiobook.

The twists and turns really got me. I was hooked from the start. It was the first time reading a book from this author and she didn’t disappoint.

What would you do if your husband’s beautiful ex-girlfriend and her daughter suddenly dropped in for a visit during a family getaway on Christmas? To top it off, your husband has invited her to join them! Red flags are glaring from the very premise in the book My Husband’s Ex by Rosie Walker.

I have very mixed feelings about the book. From the blurb, I was expecting a much faster-paced story, but many key events took place much later. Even though we knew who the central characters were and what to expect from them, the uncertainty of where the book was going and why kept me on the edge of my seat. I was rooting for Sadie, the wife, from the start, but her unsteady emotions and long monologues during moments of crisis took me out of the story. I was quite visibly frustrated during numerous sections of the book.

Honestly, the setting the author created is absolutely perfect for a thriller—a lonely cottage, a raging river, an unyielding storm. Unfortunately, I felt it lacked in some areas. Some parts felt incomplete or could have taken a different turn. The ending definitely surprised me, and I’m glad I listened through the book for that. Also, the narrator’s voice and technique were so good, I couldn’t stop listening. While the book improved a lot towards the end, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it.

Thank you Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for a free copy of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Really loved the twists in this book
What would you do if your husbands Ex and daughter turns up for your family Christmas in a remote Scottish cottage and says thank you for the invite ?
Just exactly who invited her and what exactly does she want?

Seguindo a tradição de todos os romances de suspense, “My husband's ex” mantém você ansioso por adivinhar o que está acontecendo – e por quê – até o último capítulo. Tem algo de errado no relacionamento entre o casal e mesmo assim, você não dedica tempo para examinar o relacionamento deles porque fica cada vez mais frustrado com a incapacidade da esposa de expulsar a ex-namorada. Parece que todos têm um segredo. A esposa quer o marido, a ex-namorada quer o que ela deixou e o marido quer tudo. Rosie Walker faz um excelente trabalho ao mostrar como as relações entre pais e filhos podem afetar as relações adultas e por que essas relações com nossos pais são importantes. Além disso, o sotaque escocês do narrador coloca você nas Terras Altas da Escócia assim que a história começa. Adorei.

Following the tradition of all suspense novels, “My husband's ex” keeps you guessing what is happening – and why – until the last chapter. There is something wrong with the couple's relationship and yet you don't take the time to examine their relationship because you become increasingly frustrated with the wife's inability to kick out her ex-girlfriend. It seems like everyone has a secret. The wife wants her husband, the ex-girlfriend wants what she left and the husband wants everything. Rosie Walker does an excellent job of showing how relationships between parents and children can affect adult relationships and why these relationships with our parents are important. Furthermore, the narrator's Scottish accent places you in the Scottish Highlands as soon as the story begins. I loved.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance read in return for an honest review.

This was a real rollercoaster. I really had no idea who I could trust until the very end, which kept me on the edge of my seat and really captured my attention. I do wish the characters were a bit better developed so we could understand the relationship dynamics a bit more but overall I enjoyed watching them interact and trying to figure out their motives. I loved the ending twist and thought it was the perfect ending. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This story was interesting to say the least. The premise was interesting as it starts out with the main character scheduling a vacation getaway to secluded cabin only to have the husbands ex show up out of nowhere with a child.

This book was narrated fantastically and I enjoyed the over all theme however the closure of the story seemed to been missing that aha moment for me. It didn’t wow.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity listen to this audio book.

I REALLY enjoyed this book. I was completely gripped throughout this story as Alice and her daughter sneak into the lives of Ted, Sadie, and their two daughters. I was loving each plot twist and hint leading to the reveal. I was loathing Alice, which shows great story telling by the author and narrator. I found this book predictable, but it did not at all take away from the utter enjoyment I experienced while listening to this book. If you know someone that wants to be hooked so that they cancel their plans to so they can get to the end of a book, this is a perfect choice. Thrilling, suspenseful, and overall enjoyable, I highly recommend this book, but especially audiobook with the superb narration. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to give my honest review to Rosie Walker's hit of a book! I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

This book frustrates me. Throughout the first half, you have no idea what’s going on, what the truth is, and if you are getting the real story from the protagonist, Sadie. The second half was chaotic and the ending didn’t add up. The story felt rushed and thrown together with a lot of repetition and cliches but no real feeling. *Advance copy provided by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
