ARC review: The Baby Swap by Daniel Hurst. I’ve read afew by this author and love these quick, twisty reads.
Averil is recovering in the hospital after having baby Luca, when unbeknownst to her, the woman in the next cubicle, single mum Jade, swaps their baby boys. There’s a deep dive into the past, which slowly reveals Jade’s motives for the swap.
I have to be honest and say I’m still not 100% sure why she felt the need to swap the babies, but overall, the book was intriguing and very suspenseful. I certainly didn’t pick the ending! Short, sharp, and cleverly written, this was an easy read that kept my attention all the way through.
Thankyou to the author, Daniel Hurst, NetGalley and publishers Bookouture for the advanced copy, it’s available for purchase now.

ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Baby Swap is a fast paced psychological thriller. It started out a little slow, but then got pretty interesting and picked up momentum! Some of it was a little predictable, but other twists I didn’t expect. Overall it was a pretty good book and will be reading more of his books in the future!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

This was what you call addictive reading! Which incidentally is nothing more than I've come to expect from Hurst. He certainly knows how to keep you hanging on the edge of your seat!

The plot starts off strong and the pace is set from the opening pages when we find ourselves being witness to two newborn babies being switched. Whilst I'm not a mother myself, books that involve children or babies always add to the tension and suspense, in the hope the mother gets her child returned safely.

Told from the POV of both new mothers, Hurst takes us on a twist strewn journey chucking in a few clever reveals as we head towards the penultimate chapter and the jaw dropper moments!

Another brilliant book from one of my go-to thriller authors.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



✨ Lies
✨ Postpartum depression ⚠️⚠️
✨ Multiple POVs

✨ oh Daniel! Finally! My 5 start in ages from your book recently ! You are so back😁


✨first off, well done to Tamsin Kennard as always doing voice overs for Daniel hurst! Always fit the story and she is outstanding as always⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


✨ Some of the topics here are very much trigger for new mums. A postpartum depression or just hallucination? Avril has some lies why Jade made her do what she have to do. I feel the emotion of Jade here as she wants to be a career driven woman but avail makes her life unbearable.
Does she deserve the swap? Does she deserve to suffer?

✨ A suspense ending with a twist at the end that makes me give the 5⭐️. Definitely worth to read and fast paced! mind you, it’s utterly gripping so you may want to finish what you doing before reading the book.





✨ Thankyou @bookouture for the opportunity to read this book for a honest review.

I wonder how many times this has actually happened in real life. And like how many times did no one notice ever. Especially before all the advances in security. Loved this book so much. Couldn't stop reading.

Daniel Hurst did it again, how does he come up with these stories?? This book is full of twist and turns that's going to have you on the roller coaster thinking what the f, what did this really happen. Great job on the characters I think they fit perfectly. All in all I get this book 10., no a 100.. I think this may be my favorite book. And I just want to give a thanks for giving me the chance to review this book before it was available to the public...

I’m always happy to read a Daniel Hurst book! His books are fun! The Baby Swap is fast paced, thrilling, suspenseful and crazy. Both Jade and Avril are having babies in the hospital at the same time. Each mother looks familiar to the other. How do they know each other? What bizarre things have happened in their pasts? And how far are they willing to go to right the wrongs of the past? Even though some of the characters are doing unethical, criminal things, I found myself rooting for them. And what about the babies and the fathers? Who is good? Who is bad? And is there ever a valid excuse for bad behavior? The Baby Swap is full of classic Daniel Hurst thrills and insanity. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the digital ARC.

The Baby Swap is another great thriller that you've come to expect from Daniel Hurst. Imagine being in the hospital and giving birth to your first child. You're in a room with other mothers that have just given birth. You are separated by only a curtain. One of the mothers waits for it to be the middle of the night, when everyone is asleep, to get revenge on the woman who ruined her life. How will she do this? By swapping her baby with the woman's. No one will notice if she can be quiet, the babies stay asleep, and no one wakes up. She swaps the clothes, the ankle bands with the baby's name, and the swap is complete. Was it really that easy?

Why would someone go to such lengths to get revenge? What did the other mother do to this woman? Will the mother notice that the baby is not the same one as before? Will her husband notice? Luckily, the woman with the evil plan looks very different than she did before. It's been years since the woman ruined her life and she didn't recognize her in the hospital. She looked right at her and had no idea who she was. Could this plan really work? This book will have your head spinning with all of the twists and suspense! It's a quick read as you can't put it down! I rate The Baby Swap 4 stars with a high recommendation. I'd like to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy of The Baby Swap in exchange for a fair review. This book keeps you on edge and keeps you guessing until the shocking end. Thanks, Daniel Hurst for another exciting read! #TheBabySwap

This story has some shocking twists and even the title had me questioning what was happening.
I enjoyed the multiple perspectives and the time slots going from present, then past, the present again.
The ending was truly the best part. I never could have guessed what was going to happen!

Thank you to netgalley for allowing me to review this book.

The book pulled me in right away! Though, I have to admit, there were moments where it dragged a little, and I found myself wishing the pace would pick up. The way the book was written was top-notch, as expected from Daniel. He just has a way of making you get intrigued with the story.

I absolutely loved the epilogue, it tied everything together so perfectly. The twists were solid—maybe not the kind that make you drop the book in shock, but definitely enough to keep me flipping pages.

Another fantastic read from Daniel Hurst! This is my second book by this author, and I can’t wait to read more. I love how fast-paced and easy his books are to read. The short chapters kept me hooked and made it hard to put down. I also really enjoy how he uses different perspectives and POVs, providing great insight into both main characters.

Wow! Daniel Hurst has done it again! Another heart pounding can’t put down thriller! Jade is a down on her luck single mom who has just given birth. To her horror, she realizes the woman laboring in the bed next to her is the woman who ruined her life. She makes a split second decision to exact revenge. Will she get away with it? Who will ultimately come out on top? Really fantastic book with a surprise ending! Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read another amazing ARC from Daniel Hurst!

This was such a good read and the twist had me shook!!!
Daniel Hurst has become a favorite of mine! Cannot wait to read more of his work!

Yet another 5 star read from Daniel Hurst. What an amazing book! Right from the beginning i was hooked i could not put it down. There were so many twists - and the ending, WOW.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest review

Wild down to the last pages! This quick read thriller is one I won’t soon forget. Two women who let vengeance take over their lives and lose everything in process.

At some points you almost want to root for Jade despite her heinous crime. I would’ve liked to see Avril go mad trying to figure out what went wrong. I do appreciate the pace of this book and that it wasn’t drawn out.

Daniel Hurst does it again! This thriller is every parent's worst nightmare. Someone took your baby and left a stranger's baby in its place. Is this paranoia or harsh, unthinkable reality? The suspense is intense as secrets are revealed and emotions run high. Daniel Hurst expertly crafts a character-driven thriller that pulled me in immediately and kept me guessing after every shocking twist. If you are looking for an unputdownable, unpredictable thriller, The Baby Swap is for you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my copy.

I loved this book it kept me on edge and wanting to read more. I had some parts figured out but not the very last part which was kinda of a shocker. But im hoping there a second book to this in the future. I would recommend this to anybody. So good and loving his books.

I just loove me a good Daniel Hurst thriller!
This story really reminded me of the Switched at birth lifetime movie but with jaw dropping twists.

I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a dark thriller with shocking twist that you won't be able to put down.

This is my 2nd book by this author, and I love how his books are fast paced and easy to read. The twisty plot kept me engaged throughout the entire book, and the short chapters kept me turning the pages. I also loved the dual timeline and dual POV that featured both main characters, and I always find it fun to see both characters perspective throughout the story. I also loved the twist at the end, and I was not expecting it at all!
