I absolutely love this author. His plot twists and writing style is right up there with Freida McFadden, this book had me again, picking my jaw up off the floor with the twist. Love this book, easy 5 star read for me.

So he is not only an auto buy author for me but a top of the TBR pile, can't wait to read that book next, author for me. Every single book has me wishing I was watching it so I could yell at a TV screen instead of my phone screen but such is life and this was no different. The characters development was on point. The plot twist was magnificent. It left me feeling.

"Bullies are the lowest of the low and need to be stopped before they do any more damage."

Sara and Guy have a pretty mundane home life until their teen son Jacob starts getting trouble from the infamous neighborhood bully, Mason. Mason bullies people like it's his job. A local girl killed herself from his bullying and yet he continues. Someone has to put a stop to this once and for all. I love to dress for revenge.

The first half of this was so good but it started to fall flat when true revenge time came. My guy Hurst usually goes all in so I was expecting more! It got a little too twisty when simple revenge was all that was advertised and necessary. It's hard to give a critique without spoiling it and I don't want to do that because even though this wasn't my favorite D. Hurst book, it was still good and worth the journey to the end.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review.

The storyline is very timely. Once again Daniel Hurst has created a fast paced read that captures the reader’s interest immediately. The Couple’s Revenge is a story that anyone aware of bullying in their home/community, will likely relate to. I found the ending a little out there and wrapped up too neatly, but liked how the story was written from both Sara and Guy’s perspectives as the parents. Bullying continues to be too prevalent in our schools and our communities.
Thank You to NetGalley, Bookouture and Daniel Hurst for the opportunity to read and enjoy this ARC.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Daniel Hurst - 4 stars!

Guy and Sara instinctively know that something is wrong with their teenage son, Jacob, when his behavior changes. They finally get out of him that he is being bullied, and by someone who has a history of bullying. They are desperate to fix things for Jacob, but just how far are they willing to go?

With Daniel Hurtst, you always know that you will get an intriguing, fast-paced thriller with requisite twists plus a topic that is current, relevant, and will make you think. This time, it's bullying. You can feel the angst of Guy and Sara as they absorb Jacob's pain and want to make things better. As a parent, it's totally relatable. I never saw that ending coming!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so fast paced and gripping! I devoured it in only a few days. This was so suspenseful and as a parent I really enjoyed the ideas of challenging the lengths to which a parent will go to protect their children. I always enjoy Daniel Hurst’s books, but this one is my favorite by far! This was a great thriller.

*Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing this book, with my honest review below*

Daniel Hurst has always written great thrillers, and while I loved the concept of revenge on those who deserve it, this one got a little boiler plate for me.

Sara and Guy love their children and when their son, Jacob, isn’t himself they get sucked into the extremes of parental protectiveness. The book has a great twist that I didn’t see coming, but the rest of it read as pretty standard. Perhaps it’s because it hits on some buttons a parent has experienced, but, if given the option I don’t know if they would go down quite the same path. I enjoy Daniel Hurst’s novels but I like when he surprised me throughout and I didn’t get that here, and it didn’t have enough nuance to set it apart in subject matter.

Thank you again for the ARC, Bookouture. I appreciate it and the opportunity to share my feedback.

A story of a bully who had 1 young girl commit suicide. Nothing was done to the bully or parents except he was expelled from the school and allowed into another school. We find out the parents of the boy don't care and don't think it is anyone's fault, much less their son that the girl commited suicide. Well now he is bullying someone else and these parents are not going to give up until the boy and his parents are held accountable,
The one thing I didn't like s how it always seems like the victims are more to blame than the bully and the police and school don't listen. Sometimes the parents protecting their own children don't know where to turn to next
I would have given this book 5 stars because the story had me so riveted but the ending left me hanging with questions.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ebook to review.

How far will a parents love go to protect their child? In Daniel Hurst most recent thriller ‘The Couples Revenge’ we are introduced to the main characters Sara and Guy. The story takes us through their POVs and it is split up between a before, and after which I personally enjoy. If you’re particularly sensitive to the topic of bullying as a parent, there are portions that are rather graphic in which the bullying is described. Overall, I give this four stars. I look forward to reading more of Daniel Hurst work in the future.

The Couples Revenge is now out, so add to your TBR!


Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for allowing me the opportunity to an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is family drama turned thrilling mystery. Told from dual narrators, Sara and Guy as they get embroiled in an escalating fight about protecting their family. It ultimately made me think about what measures would I go to protect mine. I had recently read another social issues type book about how one incident, while simple in the other book but much more daunting in this one, could start an escalating spiral.

While I normally think of this author’s books at entertaining popcorn thrillers, this one had a little more of a social message buried in it. It could work for both book clubs and buddy reads as the group discusses what is acceptable and where do you draw the line. But don’t worry if you too love those popcorn thrillers because this one delivers some shock along with getting you to think.

I can’t decide if I liked the characters in the book, but I did empathize with them and their situation. And I felt all the spectrum of emotions. I felt sad for the family, was mad at the authorities that at times seemed inactive when you consider the kids involved, and shocked at that last twist.

If you want a thought provoking domestic thriller, look no further than this one.

a parent it’s so hard when your child is bullied. It’s hard to control your emotions. #DanielHurst takes you there. Jacob’s parents are pushed to the limits and this book takes some crazy turns before it ends!
Another fantastic #thrillerread from #DanielHurstbooks!

Thank you, Daniel Hurst, Bookouture, & netgalley for my copy! All opinions are my own.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for the chance to read and review and early release of this book.

I found Daniel Hurst a little over a year ago through his short story, The New Year's Party. Since then, I have read a few of his books, and I very much enjoy his writing.

The plot for The Couple's Revenge involves several families touched by bullying and the lengths they're willing to go to protect one another. When Jacob's parents feel something is off with their son, they must dig a little deeper to discover the truth. What will they do when they find out? I love thrillers, and reading is my escape, so quick, easy to read thrillers often top my lost. This was one of them. The twist and turns are there, and the end tied things up nicely. I really enjoyed The Couple's Revenge. Thank you again to Netgalley and Bookouture for the chance to read this!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC.

I always enjoy Daniel hursts books but this one didn’t quite do it for me.

It was a fast paced and easy read like all of his books are but something felt missing in this one.

I did manage to guess the ending which was a shame but there was still some surprises.

No parent wants their child to get bullied, but when things get progressively worse; and the law won't do anything about it, it's time to take things into your own hands.

This novel had my anxiety high at the beginning, just because of the theme, but then my heart was racing and I felt excitement about the actions being taken.

I had guessed a small section of it a few chapters towards the end but there was a bigger twist I didn't see coming, so this didn't take away from the narrative.

Hurst writes this split between the two main characters after and alternative chapters. I enjoy the way this is done as it keeps the narration fresh and looks at a dual point of view.

This author keeps bringing out fantastic novels and is on my favourites list. I will easily pick up a Daniel Hurst.

I was so into this book! When a highschool student gets beaten up by a bully at school, with a history of bullying, what can parents do?
I could see myself as a parent in this book! How far would you go to protect your child when the law isn’t doing enough?
I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery-thriller with a fun twist at the end. Would love to read more from Hurst! Highly recommended!!!
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

A couple notices changes in their son; their once happy child has turned sullen and secretive. They dig for answers only to discover that he’s been the victim of bullying. And, they know who is targeting him. When the situation escalates, they decide to take matters into their own hands.

This book was impossible to put down with a twist ending that will make your jaw drop. As with all Daniel Hurst books, this was a winner!

Thank you netgalley and bookouture for my advance copy!

Daniel Hurst is one of my favourite authors, I enjoy his writing style! This story was very entertaining & I can't wait for his next book to come out!

This one is definitely a slow burn with a bit of a twist, nothing like the “nail-biting story with a shocking twist” that it is advertised as. The storyline was good and definitely relatable as a parent, but I found myself wanting to simply finish. I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters, either negative or positive, and I wasn’t invested in the book like I was hoping for. The writing itself was wordy with frequent run-on sentences, which is a personal pet peeve of mine. Overall, it was okay, but definitely not a favorite.

Another enjoyable read by Daniel Hurst. The. Couple’s Revenge is centred around bullying. Ordinary couple Sarah and Guy are concerned their son is being bullied. A gripping read which did not take me long to read as I wanted to know the outcome.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Wow!!! Addictive and such a ride. Read it very quickly. Only rime I wasn't reading was when I was at work. Highly recommend this book!!!
