the book was very interesting. Plot was well developed. really enjoyed this book and the characters.

Excellent psychological thriller. Well developed characters, world building and situational descriptions. The lay out of the chapters and titles make you want to keep reading, with a what will happen next thrown in. Imogene and Phillip are divorcing, or are they? Only Phillip knows how that will go and from the moment he tells her to move out of the house or he'll take their son, Imogene gets desperate, she'll do anything for her son to keep him safe and happy. Being in the right place at the right time lends Imogene help, with a can you trust an exwife or girlfriend thrown in. It is violent, nonstop action at times, and pure psychological suspense in others. Who's really good or evil in this, can a person be both?
If you have triggers from domestic violence, have a care with this. You'll be cheering Imogene to get a satisfying ending.
I would like to thank the author/publisher/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review

I received an advance electronic copy of this book from NetGalley.

Warning: If a reader is triggered by descriptions of domestic violence and gaslighting, I would recommend they stay away from this book.

The author depicts domestic violence very well, showing the manipulation and coercive control tactics of the abuser as well as the vacillation and self-blame of the victim who is trying to extricate herself. It should be noted that domestic violence in the real world does happen in both directions, with one partner or the other being the abuser. In this story, the man is the abuser and the women (the ex-wife, the soon-to-be-ex wife, and the new girlfriend) the victims, past and present. The author also does a good job of showing how utterly useless it is to try to reason with a narcissist, unhampered as they are by a conscience, human compassion, or even logic.

Other reviewers have provided fairly detailed synopses, and I will not repeat their efforts here. I concur with those who appreciated the occasional snatches of humor sprinkled in with the darkness. As the plot thickened, I was reminded of a long-ago movie called 9 to 5, in which three co-workers finally snapped and took matters into their own hands to deal with their abusive boss.

If you like psychological thrillers infused with a bit of dark humor, I highly recommend this book. But again I would caution those who might be triggered by depictions of domestic violence.

In The Exes’ Revenge, Jo Jakeman puts a new spin on an old trope: three “exes” joining forces against an abusive ex-boyfriend/husband. I was captivated from the first chapter. This is a well written story that shows lots of emotion. The characters are all well developed and very believable. Throughout the entire story, the author kept me wondering how the women would extract their “revenge” without straying from the core of their own moral compasses. I thought Jakeman did a spectacular job in drawing the conclusion of the story in a realistic and satisfying way. This was a page turner that I didn’t want to put down. I loved how the three women—all very different personalities and backgrounds—grew to know one another and find inner strength through each other. A definite read recommendation!

Oh my gosh, this book was so so good! Even better than what I was hoping that it would be. The story revolves around three women - an ex-wife, soon-to-be ex-wife and the present girlfriend to a horrible man. Even though he wears a badge to serve and protect, to those close to him, he does anything BUT. Imogen, the main protagonist, is the soon-to-be ex, the mother of his only child. I cheered watching her, Naomi and Ruby join forces and grow stronger for themselves and each other to show this he no longer has the emotional and physical power to hurt them.

Excellent turns and twists in the storyline and the characters are so well developed that they seem real! I can't this book enough! #theexsrevenge #netgalley

I’d like to thank NetGalley and Berkeley Publishing for allowing me to read “The Ex’s Revenge”. This is the first book I’ve read by Jo Jakeman and it won’t be the last. I liked all the characters and was definitely engrossed in the book!
