About this listen

A binge-worthy and addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist

Your biggest mistake is your sister’s new boyfriend.

All the family are gathered to meet my sister’s new boyfriend, including my husband Seth, and it should be a happy occasion. But the moment I see him my stomach drops. It’s Mateo. My worst mistake. My biggest secret. I hoped I’d never see him again–why is he here now?

‘It’s nice to meet you,’ he says. As I look into Mateo’s cold green eyes, I know he’s playing a deadly game. My hands tremble. This man can’t be trusted. He’s pretending not to know me… and he knows I have to pretend, too.

I’m caught in a lie with no way out. Mateo is dangerous. I don’t want my sister to get hurt. But if I admit who Mateo really is–what really happened between us–I could lose everything. My gorgeous husband. My precious little boy.

Or even my life…

From number 1 bestselling author and the king of jaw-dropping twists, The Ex Who Came Back is a completely addictive and gripping psychological thriller that will have your heart hammering!

overall i felt thos book was over very quickly, and.not alot really happened. I felt that that there could have been alot more to this atory. Quite disapointed.

Was that it?

Corinne wished Mateo had stayed away, and honestly, so do I.

The book is largely a repetition of its first chapter, stretched over more than half the story. It's unclear how thoroughly this book was edited, but clearly not enough.

The repetitive storyline is frustrating, and if not for Nathalie Buscombe’s outstanding narration, I would have stopped reading after the first third.

Overall, it’s a waste of time and money.

2/5

An absolute waste of time.

The storyline was on the face of it very interesting but the more the story developed the more unbelievable it became. Felt like it was stretched out without needing to be with a totally unbelievable ending.

Slow
