There are three women attending the funeral of Philip Rochester that
have the same thing in common: revenge... He had hurt them and now
it was time to pay.
Ruby, the first wife, Immie, the soon to be ex-wife and mother of six-
year-old Alastair, and Naomi, the beautiful, sexy lady waiting in the
wings to become the next Mrs. Rochester. They listen in disgust as the
vicar continues to speak lies and cover up truths. The man he is talking
about was not Phillip Rochester. Phillip was evil. He was a monster and
a master manipulator. He was a police officer, protected by his job,
making it easy for him to get away with abuse. Beaten and bruised by
Phillip, Immie reported him to the authorities, who just made her feel
like a liar while protecting their fellow officer, and led to further abuses
from her husband. Immie was also waiting for Phillip to sign the final
divorce papers but he kept stalling. Instead, he was trying to force her
and their son out of their home, threatening to take Alastair away from
her if she refused. Time to act, but how?
Ruby was married the longest to Phillip and the most loyal to him. She
made every excuse for his actions but when he took her beloved dogs
away from her she began to question his motives. Upon meeting Immie
and hearing how Phillip was tossing her and his son out of their home,
Ruby began to side with Immie. Naomi was living in the Barn, the
newest of Phillips' acquisitions, but she was being mentally abused by
Phillip so would she be physically abused next?
THE EXES' REVENGE by Jo
Jakeman begins at the funeral of Philip and tells the story of how he
lived and how he died. It's a book you will find difficult to put down and
the main character that is easy to hate. Philip is cagey and always a
step ahead. It is as though he can read their minds.
In her sensational debut, THE EXES'
REVENGE, Jo Jakeman writes about a critical and contemporary
issue, domestic abuse. This read is not for the faint of heart but gives a
very descriptive look at the violence faced by domestic abuse. If these
women did not find the courage to take action against the abuser, who
knows what their future would be? A must read and a recommendation
to all who enjoy a chilling, gripping story that will give you goosebumps
and have you checking under the bed. Bravo, Ms. Jakeman.
A wickedly dark debut thriller about three women who've
all been involved with the same man and realize the one
thing they have in common is that they all want revenge
against him...
Divorces are often messy, and Imogen's is no exception.
Phillip Rochester is controlling, abusive, and determined to
make things as difficult as possible. When he shows up
without warning demanding that Imogen move out of their
house by the end of the month or he'll sue for sole custody
of their young son, Imogen is ready to snap.
In a moment of madness, Imogen does something
unthinkable--something that puts her in control for the
first time in years. She's desperate to protect her son and
to claim authority over her own life.
But she wasn't expecting both Phillip's ex-wife and new
girlfriend to get tangled up in her plans. These three very
different women--and unlikely allies--reluctantly team up to
take revenge against a man who has wronged them all.
