sarahsbookstack 's review for:

The New Husband by D.J. Palmer
4.0

My biggest issue with this is the title as it's a tiny bit misleading,but..... It's a good book.

I was internally screaming (as not to bother my husband writing from home) at Nina through most of this book. If you have a gut feeling that things may be a little off.... Please trust that feeling!!

Simon is too perfect. Knows exactly how to comfort Nina and placate her. He is a psychopath to the 100th degree. I did not like how he came into her life. I hated how he could manipulate any situation. I hated how he treated Maggie and made Nina feels like she was a horrible mother. I hated that he made Nina feel like she was not worthy enough for Glen and that's why he disappeared.

I cheered Nina finally in the last third of the book when something happens that threatens someone's very life!

I did not see the twist in the middle coming! It blindsided me and made me even more mad for the way Simon would put down and disparage Nina's husband, Glen.
