🎧 ARC Review: My Dead Husband by N.J. Moss

My review: 3.25 ⭐

‼‼DIS-TUR-BING‼‼
DARK!! CREEPY!! TWISTED!! GROSS!! INSANE!! HORRIFIC!!

⚠Beware⚠
This book is not for the faint hearted.
There are many triggers warnings, such as ~ domestic violence, abuse, rape, pedophilia, vulgar language, incest, mental illness, trauma. 

Ellie has learned her abusive husband has committed suicide and left a note stating she is to blame.
Ellie’s mom has schizophrenia and a secret about Ellie’s husband, Kayden.
The story goes back and forth between the perspective of Ellie and what her mom wrote in a journal about her past.
The narrator was really good in expressing emotions when necessary, however I would have preferred a second narrator for the journal entries. I 2x’ed it, so that made for a quick listen at around 4 hours.

I did figure out some of the twists ahead of time, so that puts a damper on my rating. I do feel like the story wrapped up well though.

*Thanks to Netgalley, Dreamscape Media and N.J. Moss for the advance audiobook. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*

When a woman learns her abusive husband is dead, it’s only the beginning of her nightmare, in this twisting psychological thriller by the author of ‘Her Final Victim’.

Ellie managed to escape from husband Kayden’s vicious abuse – and since learning from her mother-in-law that he’s taken his own life, she’ll never have to worry about him again.

But instead of relief, Ellie is now experiencing terror in the form of frightening phone calls, hostile strangers on the street, and what appears to be deliberate sabotage of her writing career. Thinking she’s spotted a reflection of Kayden’s face only makes her wonder if she’s having a breakdown…. again.

With the help of a new man in her life, Ellie intends to head to Scotland and find out once and for all what is real and what is illusion – but the deeper her investigation goes, the darker the truth becomes….
