This book handles a very heavy topic of bullying in school. It was a really interesting read and centered around what parents will do to protect their child. I really enjoyed this book. I have read several Daniel Hurst books and this is a top favorite of mine. I liked how fast paced it was and also the story kept me intrigued. I thought I had it all figured out but the final twist was so unexpected. I definitely recommend this one if the synopsis sounds interesting and if you like a twisty story.

Great book.
How far would you go to protect your son from a vicious bully?
Sara and Guy learn a horrifying fact. Their son is being bullied by someone. Someone who caused a girl to end her own life to escape his torment.
Together they try to solve the issue. Talking to the police, to the boy’s parents.
But how far would you go when the normal avenues have been exhausted?
Well written, excellent story.

3.5 but rounding up to 4.

Another fast paced thriller by Daniel Hurst. I enjoy getting lost for a couple of days in his writing. His books are so easy to read and quite enjoyable. The Couple's Revenge is a very good read, however, I did figure out the twist quite early on. Guy was quite unlikeable and I found it hard to warm to him. Even though there are a few twists I can imagine if somebody didn't figure out the one at the end that they would be shocked. These characters we're realistic and you could imagine the pain, suffering and outrage they were facing. Considering how it ended im wondering will there be a sequal? I'm sure we won't have to wait to much longer for another book by Mr. Hurst.

First of all, I would do everything they did!!!! But the whole twist at the end????? Did not see that coming. Bravo!!!!! I was cheering and throwing my hands in the air. Heck yeah!!!

This book deals with the effects that bullying can have on a family. When Guy and Sara realize that their son is being bullied by the school bully that caused another girl to commit suicide, they push the limit to how far to go to protect him.

This is an explosive story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A great read!

I have always loved Daniel s books but I didn't find this one quite as good as the others and at times slow in the middle. However what it did capture was a mother's instinct when her son istroubled and the depths parents will go to to orotect a child. A real twist of an ending which I didn't guess.
Highly recommend a read.

Ooh this was so twisted and fun to read! It makes you question everyone in your own life and who you cross! Be sure to add this to your list!

I will say, out of the numerous books I have read by Daniel Hurst, not a single one has ever left me disappointed. He is truly a master of suspense. His books are fueled with tension and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

A little bit about the storyline- Within the community, there has been much publicity regarding Mason, a terrible jerk who bullied another student so severely that she ended up taking her own life. As with many bullies in real life, nothing was really done to Mason or his family, leaving a family grieving in the wake of the unimaginable. Mason is forced to switch schools and you would think that he would have learned a lesson, but this piece of trash feels no remorse for what he's caused. He sets his sights on a new target to bully, Jacob. When Jacob's parents find out that Mason has caused him physical harm, they decide enough is enough. This community already lost one previous child and they won't allow it to happen to their child. They're not the only ones who want revenge and since Mason's family is unconcerned with the lives of anyone else, who will end up taking matters into their own hands and teach this bully a lifelong lesson?

I guess you'll have to read to find out!

The Couple's Revenge is another home run for Hurst, who is incapable of writing a bad book. I simply couldn't put it down and I was constantly entertained and hanging on to his every word!

As a mother - this book totally got me. My daughter is bullied almost daily by the same boy, who also bullies other members of their class.
Guy and Sara have a similar issue - with their teenage son. Hurst does an amazing job showcasing the complexity of this topic. I felt this one hard - very invested from the beginning!
Family drama focusing on timely and hard topic -- how much do we protect our children while granting them space to learn it for themselves.

This was my first book by Daniel Hurst. I honestly struggled through the first 60% of this book. It was very wordy (repetitive) as it kept repeating the same thought simply worded differently sometimes 3-4 times. It felt a bit as if the author was just trying to hit his word count. It took until about 63% of the way through for things to pick up. I will say that I was shocked by the first big twist and that was when I was hooked. I wasn't expecting the ending and it was satisfying. This is a great read if you love a slow burn that builds to the climax.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC of The Couple's Revenge in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I am a big fan of this author, although I didn't think this book was his best. A little too predictable .

"I was instantly captivated by the story and found it difficult to put down. The plot twist was brilliantly executed, especially with the use of Amber, who was introduced into the story but remained on the periphery until the very end. It was satisfying to see Mason finally get what he deserved. As a parent, I felt a deep sense of frustration reading about how the police only seem to take action when it's too late. Nevertheless, the story was gripping and well-written. The happy ending left me feeling content and fulfilled. Overall, it was an enjoyable and memorable read."

Wow! Just wow!! I seriously could not put this one down. One surprise after the next except me hooked to the very end! Excellent character development and storyline! Just when I thought I had it figure out - I was totally wrong.
This one is a must-read!!

Such a quick, fast paced thriller that I really enjoyed! A PAGE-TURNER that I could not put down. Like-able characters and smooth plot dives right into the story!
A horrible bully causes a young girl to suicidal end. A mourning family left without justice. New school but same horrible bully finds a new target to harass and beat. His seething family seeks vengeance, but vengeance is taken before they get the chance. So who did it and can they get away with it??

A very typical Daniel Hurst book, whom I absolutely LOVE! Thank you #NetGalley and #bookouture for an arc to review!

Daniel Hurst did it again with The Couple’s Revenge that published on January 4th 2024 by bookouture. I have read quite a few of Daniel’s books and I gotta say they just keep getting better and better I swear!!

In the couple's revenge we meet guy and Sara, two doting parents.
parents who worry about their son, who's starting to behave different. After some digging, it's revealed that he's bullied by another boy, and it's a race against the clock.

Thank you so much Netgalley, Daniel Hurst and Bookouture for allowing me to read another amazing book.

Gripping book. Daniel Hurst made a good job writing this book. I was feeling tense and sitting at the edge of my seat. Other times I was feeling angry and wanted to shout out at the characters. You won't feel relaxed reading this book, but you will feel all kinds of emotions. Definitely recommend!

how well do you know your children? Do you know when something is wrong with your children? Would you seek revenge when you know your child is being bullied and hurt? Loved this story on two parents who would do whatever it takes to protect their child.

This was a really well done psychological thriller novel, it had everything that I was expecting from a description. The characters were written perfectly for this story and I enjoyed getting to know them in this book. Daniel Hurst has a great writing style and it worked with the genre.

I really enjoy Daniel’s book but this one was a miss for me. It seemed like something was missing and I was underwhelmed the whole time I was reading it. I wasn’t sitting on the edge of my seat. I just keep waiting for it to get better. Jacob is being bullied by Mason and Jacob’s parents, Sara and Guy, decide to take matters into their own hands. They want to protect Jacob and will do whatever it takes. I did not expect the book to end the way it did.

Although this book wasn’t for me, I would definitely recommend it.

Guy and Sara have a close relationship with their son Jacob so they know instantly that something is wrong when he starts behaving oddly. Jacob is being bullied and the worried parents decide they have no option but to take matters into their own hands...
The Couple's Revenge is a psychological thriller that plays on parents' fears for their children's mental and physical wellbeing.
Poor Jacob is obviously upset and finally confesses that he is the target of the school bully. This bully left his last school after his victim committed suicide. Jacob's parents are determined to protect their son at any cost and also prevent any other child suffering at the bully's hands.
The book is written using the first person perspectives of Guy and Sara via alternating chapters. Their fears and emotions are wonderfully written and I'm sure every parent will identify with the minutiae of their relationship with each other and their child. The prologue gives massive clues about the lengths the parents would go to in order to protect their son, and then the book goes back to show how they came to this terrible choice.
I found that I had to suspend my disbelief when the parents decide to take control of the situation. This didn't stop me loving the way the plot twisted and I was absolutely gripped. I had several theories about who and why events proceed as they do. I was not disappointed by the resolution which ties up all the loose ends.
The Couple's Revenge is a tense, dramatic and emotionally engaging psychological thriller.
