The Exes by Leodora Darlington comes out February 3, 2026

 


Wow, I am not quite sure if I enjoyed this book or not. But I was definitely interested in what was happening. Was I sure what was happening? Not at all! But it was fascinating. Nat is married to James and they are having a few problems - fertility and murder, mostly. Has Nate killed a bunch of her exes? Is James next? It is hard to say because things turn on a dime ALL THE TIME! I couldn't put this down for the first third, then I couldn't figure out what was going on the second third and then I couldn't believe what was happening the final third! It was a pretty tight story. The format was a little complex, but it was impossible not to finish. I think this is going to be really popular and I am looking forward to what Darlinton comes up with next, because she has a real gift for keeping the reader on edge.

I gave this four stars which is only the second Netgalley four-star from me. I feel badly because I think it is because it is not the kind of book that I usually like, so it might be a Barb problem and not a THE EXES problem, but I must be true to myself!
