I was up till 5 am reading this because I just could not put it down.
This book is thick with tension and suspense from start to finish, which is quite a feat because a lot of thrillers are unable to keep up the tension for longer than half the book. Another thing I really enjoyed was the dual timeline. It was interesting to see the couple's relationship unfold and to actually see the main character realize the type of man that her husband was.
The only qualm I had about this book was that the writing was unfortunately lacking for me sometimes. There were sometimes random sentences thrown in that didn't have all that much relevance to the plot and there were 2 chapters that started off almost the same back to back.
Overall though, this was a solid book and one that fans of the mystery and thriller genre will surely enjoy

The Ex-Wives by Jenna Kernan
The Ex-Wives by Jenna Kernan is filled with jaw-dropping suspense. This is my first book by the author and I was blown-away by her talent. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one night.
Synopsis:
My husband Jackson and I just got married. He is an excellent partner and stepfather to my daughter Phoebe. Jackson is handsome and rich. He loves me so much that he even tells me what clothes to wear. Yes, he wants to know where I am and gets mad when I do not immediately answer my phone, but that is only because he cares.
Humm...why is Jackson lying? I just found out he has been married twice and both of his stepdaughters mysteriously disappeared after he divorced. Jackson would never hurt Phoebe, would he?
Readers can't help being drawn into The Ex-Wives by Jenna Kernan as the story unfolds. The author puts them right in the middle of the action with vivid descriptions of interpersonal relationships. This domestic thriller is a compelling read, but it is not for the faint of heart. Be sure to check the trigger warnings before proceeding.
The Ex-Wives by Jenna Kernan is available on October 10th.
