Always like books by Daniel. There's always a good twist, the story is always engaging and you are never bored. This one is no exception. Read it.

Another punchy story from Daniel - following on from My Daughters Boyfriend. The short snappy chapters make for a fast read. How much can one mother and daughter take?? Made me wonder if there will be another book in the series although cannot imagine what could happen next.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
This one was interesting and kept me listening.
Great job by the narrator.

And the saga continues. Great read again from Daniel Hurst. I really enjoyed the continuing story of this mother and daughter. Plenty of twists. Thanks NetGalley for the audio eArc.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Daniel Hurst's "My Daughter's Husband" delivers an exhilarating ride from start to finish. The suspenseful plot twists and turns keep readers on the edge of their seats, as they follow the gripping tale of deception, betrayal, and redemption. Hurst masterfully crafts characters with depth and nuance, making it impossible to predict their true intentions until the very end. The pacing is relentless, driving the narrative forward with relentless momentum. With each chapter, the tension escalates, culminating in a shocking climax that leaves a lasting impact. Fans of psychological thrillers will find themselves thoroughly engrossed in this intricately plotted and expertly executed novel.

I personally didn’t like this one and I feel like that’s mainly because I listened to it as an audiobook and audiobooks don’t seem to be for me. I definitely want to give it another try.

I always enjoy Daniel Hurst books. This one was no different. Another fast paced, action packed, can't put down novel. Highly recommend.

This is the second installment from Daniel Hurst which details the love life of Ellie and her mother Dawn. I enjoyed the first book and looked forward to the second. It did not disappoint!

Ellie has the worst taste in men but luckily her mother Dawn is a super hero and comes to the rescue, not once but twice. In the second book, Dawn is not the petulant twenty something she was in the last book and is a much more enjoyable character. I have to say I did not see some of the plot twists coming. It was very entertaining.

The book ends with Dawn navigating the dating scene, so I am hoping for some more installments in this series.

Thrilling, gripping, fast paced and hard to put down!!!!!!
This is an addictive and binge worthy read. I enjoyed the cast of characters, the drama, and the eye rolling moments.
Enjoyable, fast paced, thrilling and dramatic.

I love the way Daniel Hurst writes revenge plots. He has quickly become a fave author of mine, and this book didn’t disappoint. I was so excited to rejoin Dawn and Ellie in this sequel to My Daughter’s Boyfriend, and this book did not disappoint.

This book was full of suspense, drama, and great twists. This book moves at breakneck speed and I finished it in one sitting. I was impatiently waiting on what would happen next. The character development continues from the first book and we get to know them even better. There was more than one “bad guy” which made for an exciting and thrilling storyline throughout. There were dueling plots at play, but they were seamlessly woven together in a way that all made sense. All of these factors made the twisty twists even better. And that ending?! Amazing!

I listened to the audiobook and the narrators did a great job. I love audiobooks that have different voices for different characters. The pitches and tones used matched what was happening in the story at the moment and helped to build the suspense.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.

Another fast paced, page turner book by Daniel Hurst. This is a second book in a series and although the first book is referenced, I did not feel confused despite not reading the first book. After a traumatic relationship (in the first book), Ellie has found love again. She marries Kyle and her mother hopes this sets her up for a lifetime of happiness. But just a few short days after the wedding, her mother, Dawn, uncovers something that shows her that Kyle may not be who he says he is. Dawn will stop at no length to protect her daughter.

There are many twists in this story and the ending will have you reeling. The narrator did a great job and it was an enjoyable listen.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for the copy of this book!

I'm such a fan of listening to the author's thrillers. I think of them as popcorn thrillers because they play out like a movie as I listen. I've mostly listened to his books and find them to be a perfect match. I always love the narrators and they complement the story. Harrie Dobby, Adam Sims, and Tamsin Kennard were the perfect choice for this one. I was so engaged listening to them bring this story to life.

This is the sequel to My Daughter's Boyfriend. And while you do not have to read them in order, I think I got the most enjoyment from knowing what previously happened.

These characters can make some really poor decisions. I spent a little bit of my listen going what are you thinking!?!?! But that is the fun of this series. The outrageous predicaments and the audacity of the characters.

Fast paced and very entertaining.

DANIEL HURST OH, MY STARS. This was bananas! The way this brilliant human writes a twist will leave you speechless.

I will read anything written by Daniel. I love how he tells a story, develops his characters, and curates a twist. This was fantastic.

The way this book picked up five years after the first book was clever and did. It didn’t feel like any time was lost. The characters still appeared to have grown and evolved, all while still carrying the trauma of that night.

I loved having the three perspectives. That was well done. I also appreciated the American accent for Harvey. As an American, I have to say I found several of the phrases Harvey used very English. It was adorable, honestly. (We don’t tend to say windscreen; we say windshield, or we say parking garage vs car park).

I devoured this book. The narrators did an excellent job bringing the characters to life; their emotions were powerful, and their performances were engaging.

The ending of this book left me staring at nothing for a whole, though. I can say I did not see that coming. I cannot wait for more from this author!

Harvey, after five years in prison, has a revenge plot in mind. Harvey lost his son Daryll when his ex Ellie when killed him in self-defense during an attack. Now Ellie is about to marry Kyle, who portrays himself as a successful businessman. However, things are not what they seem and it just might be that Kyle has been lying and keeping secrets.

Ellie's mother Dawn is more than suspicious about her daughter’s new husband Kyle as apparently he has been less than honest on more than one occasion. Bottom line, she feels that he is a liar. Between Dawn's suspicions and Daryll's father Harvey seeking revenge for his son's death, the young couple's chance at happiness just might be short lived.

My Daughter's Husband was a thrilling, fast-paced read. The various points of view were done in first person, and they each had a narrator, Tamsin Kennard, Harrie Dobby and Adam Sims. This style of writing as well as the excellent narration made this book go really quickly.

This book follows My Daughter's Boyfriend by Daniel Hurst and takes place five years later. Anyone seeing a couple in love about to marry just might want the best for them, but there is a dark shadow looming with a nod to the previous book and characters, while lending itself to serious drama, done in a way that made this book impossible to put down.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Twists and turns so fast you’ll get whiplash! This book is the definition of a perfect thriller. Everyone was untrustworthy! Amazing.

Enjoyable family drama book. A mom who pays too much attention to her daughter and her relationships. But is that a bad thing. It is a fast read.

‘My Daughter’s Husband’ written by Daniel Hurst and narrated by Harrie Dobby, Adam Sims, Tamsin Kennard, is a psychological thriller. Hold on to your seats, this book is fast-paced and dynamic!

The second book in a series with the first book being ‘My Daughter’s Boyfriend,’ can read as a stand-alone book. I was unaware this was the second book in a series and did not even know until I was sitting down to write the review. Five years apparently has passed since the first novel. Hurst does an excellent job of catching you up to make you not even know that you missed the first book in the series.

I enjoyed the many points of view – Dawn, Ellie, Ellie’s ex-boyfriends father and Ellie’s new husband. The narrators did an excellent job.

I recommend this book as a light, quick read or listen. A typical psychological thriller.

Thank you #NetGalley and #BookoutureAudio #Bookouture for the opportunity to listen to this early audio version in exchange for a review. All opinions and thoughts are those of my own.

I have three words: Clever, twisty and entertaining. Daniel Hurst is not an author I have had the honor of reading much of his work. However, this is an absolutely fabulous sequel. I typically am not one to listen to audiobooks. However, this one caught my attention., The narrator's voice was easy to follow along, it wasn't monotone. Its a fast-paced read, one that you will not want to put down.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to obtain a copy of this title prior to its release!

〝I guess a mothers love for her child really does know no bounds〞

★★★.5

ellie walks down the aisle in her full-length lace dress, beaming with happiness. as she exchanges her vows with the groom, who looks devastatingly handsome in his smart black suit, her mother hopes this time will be different… an utterly gripping psychological thriller with jaw-dropping twists.

this was a really fun read but it wasn't for me. this would be great if you like books for the plot and easy to understand thrillers. sure, I loved the family drama of it all but the characters were too superficial and naive (read stupid) for my tastes; especially since the author makes it really clear that this almost happened to the same characters just a couple years ago in the first book. like who would not be on their guard after almost getting murdered by their partner? I pretty much figured the whole thing out after the first few chapters which only made me more irritated at the character for not seeing it coming. I've read some other reviews and I understand that this is just not my genre because a lot of thriller lovers really enjoy this so take my opinion with a grain of salt unless we have similar reading tastes.

ps. if you want to read the whole series; read it in order or you'll be heavily spoiled.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for giving me access to this arc.

This book is a sequel to "My Daughter's Boyfriend" and follows the story of Ellie and her mother Dawn. In the book, Ellie gets married to her wealthy boyfriend Kyle. However, Dawn discovers that Kyle lies to her daughter and starts investigating to keep her safe. This is similar to what happened in the previous book where Dawn had to investigate Ellie's American boyfriend.

In the story, Kyle is not a good person, but he is not as evil as Ellie's previous boyfriend. Dawn follows the clues and ends up getting involved in a scheme that has more action than the previous book. The story is predictable and the ending is revealed in the first chapter. However, the book is still an entertaining read. The author adds a new point of view from Harvey, who plans to take revenge on the women who killed his son.

Overall, the book is a quick read, and the ending is satisfactory. The epilogue makes it clear that this is the end of the book series. While it may not be a memorable book, it is still an enjoyable read.
