Jess has written a really well-paced, engaging thriller that caused me - at many times - to stop and think! My predictions were all wrong and I LOVE an ending that I can't work out!!

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book! This is my first novel by Jess Kitching and will not be my last.

This book was a fun read for me. Cassie and James are set to get married until she finds out that he is cheating on her. She discovers he may have lied about more than his commitment to her, so she decides to plot some revenge tactics against him.

I was hooked from page 1 and did want this book to end. I would highly recommend it!

Right from the start I was hooked. A well written novel about infidelity, betrayal, revenge and heartache. Written with enough suspense to keep the reader on the edge of their seat, even until the very last sentence.

When Cassie finds out that the love of her life has been unfaithful, she is left with a heavy decision. Does she confront him right away or does she seek sweet revenge and end their marriage before it even has a chance to begin? With unexpected twists and turns, the author hooks the reader in and maintains interest all the way to the bitter end.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The author throws in twists and turns to keep the story entertaining and interesting.

This book was compulsively readable, I couldn't put it down. I was hoping the entire time that Cassie was wrong but man, what a jerk her fiancé was! His reasoning was kind of lame of course, but who knows what makes people do the things they do?! I liked that Cassie was not simpering, wanting to take revenge and I was a little shocked at the twist so I'd definitely recommend this one!

Overall, Kitching really did a great job of keeping the reader hooked and I'll definitely be looking for other books by her!

Oh wow, I had high hopes for this one but didn't expect to love it as much as I did! This was excellently done. These types of domestic thrillers where the husband and wife are playing a game of cat and mouise with each other are my absolute favorite types of books to read. I loved the tension that built throughout the book because it made the ending events feel even more dramatic. That ending was the perfect cliffhanger for a second book and I pray Jess Kitching gives us one! I loved these characters and found them all so interesting (even the side characters!). I need more of them in my life. Watching Cassie's plans form and pan out was so exciting and I need more from her. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

How to Destroy Your Husband had a great premise that made me want to read it, even though I truly hate reading about cheating. I wanted to see what type of revenge Cassie was going to get against Jamie, but ultimately this whole story fell so flat. I was super disappointed.

Cassie could have been such a kickass heroine, but mostly all she did was drink, and think about Jamie. And not even in a “my revenge is going to be so sweet” way.

Obviously, I hated Jamie, and really wanted to like Cassie but sadly it was a no go. In fact, there really weren’t any characters that I felt anything for. I finished the story just to see what happened, but I wished I hadn’t because Jamie never did get the comeuppance I was hoping for, and he ends up getting the upper hand on Cassie, so that was disappointing.

I know a lot of people enjoyed this story, but sadly it just was not my cup of tea.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced review copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

The twists in this book were spectacular! When Cassie learns that her fiancee has cheated on her, she decides rather than call him out on it, she will plot revenge. Despite this being her plan, some of her reactions to Jamie felt a little unbelievable at times given the circumstances - they were too light-hearted after knowing the extent of Jamie's infidelity. The ending was a big surprise - I love when there is a final twist that almost leaves the reader hanging. This was a solid 4-star read for me!

The book was pretty slow and dragged out building up to a big ending which is what kept me reading… and then I was really unsatisfied with the end! She schemes this massive plan that really goes nowhere and she is screwed over in the end. Very disappointed overall but I did like the writing style.

What would you do if you found out the man you were about to marry was a actually someone you knew nothing about and the more you discovered the worse it became.

The first few chapters of this book really reeled me in. I loved hearing Cassies thoughts about love and romance and why she was so against it, the narrative absolutely hooked me and then when she was talking about when she met Jamie I knew I was going to enjoy this story because when Cassie was talking about both her being against love and being in love, I was massively rooting for her no matter what. I loved the storyline, I loved the characters, I was shocked and taken aback at some parts of the story (in a good way) about how Jamie was presented and I loved that it really highlighted how men can perceive relationships and women and how you never really know a person. I was massively rooting for Cassie all the way through, I wanted her to get her revenge so bad! I felt like I did guess a couple of the twists but they were brilliantly done regardless. One disappointment I had was just the ending. I felt like there needed to be more and felt it ended quite abruptly? However I am loving Jess’s books and the themes running alongside them. Can’t wait to read more of her work

I didn't like this one as much I expected to based on the title. But it was a twisty, suspenseful read that I breezed through in a few days. A solid thriller

Love a good domestic thriller. This one was pretty good. Enjoyed it and it went by quick. Very easy read. Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC

Compulsive, dark and thrilling, this was a completely captivating revenge-based plot, with a brilliantly-written ending.

This book was super intriguing! I was into right from the start! I need to read more of Jessica Kitching! Thanks NetGalley!

Does a title of a book ever suck you in immediately? I new nothing about How to Destroy Your Husband but the title alone made me want to read it. I rarely do this, go into a book blind, but it made no difference to the outcome and my opinion of the story. It was a phenomenal, edge of your seat, nail biting intense thriller. I could not put it down, and read it in a day. A definite easy five star read for me. This is the first book I have read by Jess Kitching and I cannot wait to read more of her work. Thank you so much Kingsley Publishers, Netgalley and Jess Kitching for my arc in exchange for my honest review.

I do love a good revenge thriller and that was the reason I requested this book. It's a little tired old plot - woman gets cheated on, goes on revenge spree but Kitching does fairly well with it.

That said, I did think the pace was a little slow for what you'd expect from this genre. One other criticism is that I know that we are supposed to suspend our disbelief a little in these situations but the actions of the main character were a little unrealistic and not completely relatable. Was also disappointed by the ending.

Overall an average thriller read.

As Cassie excitedly gets closer to the wedding day she has been planning for months, a friend at work shows her a photo exposing her fiancé Jamie as a cheat. Completely blindsided by the betrayal of the man she loves and trusts, Cassie cannot believe what she is seeing and a searing rage takes hold of her. As Cassie plots the ultimate revenge against her cheating partner, she starts to uncover more secrets which leave her questioning whether she really knows the man she is living with and if their entire relationship is a lie.
My heart was in my mouth at times, there were twists that completely transformed the direction of the plot and left me completely unsure of where it would end. I found myself anxious for the wellbeing of the characters and rooting for Cassie all the way through. I would have loved to have understood a bit better why the character of Jamie took the twists that it did but I suppose that is one of the frustrations with people like this in real life. Absolutely gripping!

Cassandra Edwards is about to marry the love of her life, fellow schoolteacher, Jamie. Jamie is a kind, loving, thoughtful partner and the two have a happy life together. Cassie is in the thick of planning their perfect, picture book wedding when she gets some very bad news.

When Cassie’s work colleague tells her that Jamie has been spotted kissing another woman, she embarks on a plan to destroy her future husband. She is determined to find out everything she can about Jamie’s affair, so she can use the information against him. Her covert operation has her pretending to friends and family that nothing is amiss, as she spies on her fiancé and plans her revenge.

Cassie’s mission to uncover the truth about her fiancé takes her down a rabbit hole into a dark and dangerous world of online misogyny and narcissism. Like the crazy mirrors in a side-show, Cassie’s world, and the man she thought she knew so well, are reflected back in alarming and distorted shapes. But Cassie’s not about to give up without a fight. In her quest for revenge, she risks her safety, her sanity, and the stability of a life she worked so hard to achieve.

How to Destroy Your Husband is the story of a young woman striking back at the betrayal of the man she was about to pledge her life to. Her rage-fueled mission raises some interesting questions about the efficacy of revenge, and the far-reaching consequences for all in its orbit.


How to Destroy You Husband is a fast-paced and intriguing story that I ripped through in a matter of days. Cassie grows from being a compliant and unsuspecting victim to a strong and self-assured woman. I loved seeing how the story played out, and the ambiguity of the ending, which saw the chips falling in some very unusual ways. A gripping tale of domestic suspense, How to Destroy Your Husband, questions how well we really know the people we are closest to.
