Cassie Edwards swore she’d never fall in love… then she met Jamie. He changed everything, and Cassie’s never been happier.
But with less than one month to go to her wedding, Cassie discovers Jamie is cheating on her with his colleague. Blinded by rage, Cassie makes it her mission to seek revenge on the pair.
When Cassie looks deeper into her fiancé’s life, she soon realises being faithful isn’t the only thing he’s lying about.
As her hunt for the truth takes her to some of the darkest corners of the internet, Cassie learns just how little she knows about the man she shares her life with. It leaves her wondering one thing – is Jamie someone she should destroy, or someone she should fear instead?
How far would you go to destroy your husband?

My Thoughts:
How To Destroy Your Husband by Jess Kitching is a standalone psychological thriller published in 2022.
When it popped up on my Kindle Unlimited page, I thought it sounded right up my street. It was only at the halfway mark that I realised I had read it before, but as I was enjoying it so much (and with the memory of a goldfish) I had forgotten the twists so happily continued to read.
If you like your thrillers dark, with toxic characters, toxic relationships, gas-lighting, manipulation and a huge dose of resentment, then grab yourself a copy now.
Cassie Edwards is the main character. Happily single and not looking for love, she meets the charming Jamie who sweeps her off her feet and soon they are planning a dream wedding. When she discovers he is cheating on her instead of sorting out the wedding favours, she is fixated only revenge and the absolute annihilation of everything and anyone close to Jamie.
It’s difficult not to feel sympathy for Cassie, but as a rational human being, it was difficult to understand why she didn’t just walk away, but choose the most destructive path possible.
The book is unsettling and sinister and the twists kept me turning those pages as quickly as possible to see what was going to happen next.
Fans of domestic noir with morally complex characters, devious and dangerous behaviour, then grab a couple and buckle up for a toxic ride.
