A brilliant read from beginning to end, full of action which kept me not wanting to put my kindle down.

Laura’s chance meeting with Ethan changed her life and not in a great way. I liked the start but it gradually went downhill with a ludicrous ending. Several things should’ve been explained but weren’t, plot holes that no one obviously picked up on. The pace was lively and the style of writing didn’t jar. We’ve all seen the two main characters many times in other novels so no big surprises there - same modus operandi. Despite all that I was still intrigued enough to carry on reading!

A really good read, full of tension and very gripping. I read it in one evening. It's creepy and dark at times and very action packed in the second half.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with this copy of The Nice Guy. This type of book is right up my alley and I only wish I could have started it sooner. Highly recommend to those who love domestic thrillers.

A well written thriller highlighting coercive control. Ethan had huge red flags from the start but it's so easy to see how you can get sucked in. The author did a good job at highlighting this! A twisted and creepy read that left me so annoyed, in a good way!!

Always a fan of Sarah’s books and this was no exception. A twisty plot with well written characters and a well crafted storyline that kept me hooked from the start to finish

When Laura met Ethan for a date she did not envisage the life that would come.
I’m a huge Sarah Denzil fan and this did not disappoint.
Ethan was rather unpleasant even when Laura thought he was a nice guy and I knew more sinister things were to come.
Although this story is wholly unrealistic, that made me like it even more.
Great tension and enough mystery to keep you turning the pages.

Brilliant read! I am a huge fan of Sarah Denzil's writing and this one is up there with the best of them. A real page turner that once you start you won't want to put it down. 5 stars

This was an audio listen for me and I did enjoy it. It was a gradual creepy climber that did well at building up the tension. Some parts towards the ending were a bit far fetched for me and Laura definitely made some questionable decisions but overall I did think it was well written and had your skin crawling at points.

This books looks at sensitive issues such as mental abuse and does it with sensitivity. Abit slow at times but a good insight into toxic relationships with a very unpleasant unlikeable character

Sarah A Denzil is a firm favourite thriller author, This book is great and I love drama and atmosphere that is illustrated.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of The Nice Guy by Sarah A. Denzil in exchange for my honest review and opinion. Loved the writing style and how it captivated me from the first page and kept me guessing until the last. Lots of twists and turns and made me thankful I'm married and never have to date again! :)

This book makes me more scared to have people come to my door and ring the bell when I know no one was invited

Nope, nope, nope. This book started off so god damn well, and instantly had me hooked. However, it truly lost me at around the 30%-50% mark, and just fell flat.

I love books by Sarah A Denzil but this one wasn't as great as others I have read! It won't stop me reading more books by this author, this just wasn't for me!!!

A powerful read from Sarah Denzil and could involve some trigger subjects for some. At a protest, Laura falls into the crowd and injures herself, and a talk, dark and handsome stranger comes to her rescue. Ethan is the dream package and after a one night stand, he starts to reveal his true, controlling colours. Laura tries to distance herself from Ethan, but he is not a man used to being told no. Months later, after blocking his harassing messages, Laura discovers she is pregnant. While tolerating Ethan’s demands and mood swings while pregnant, things escalate when Christopher is born and Ethan and his mother go to a whole new level of crazy.
A fast paced domestic thriller, with several dark and sinister moments. I enjoyed reading this and really felt for Laura time and time again, willing a positive outcome.

I adore Sarah's books, but unfortunately this one was not a favourite of mine. I usually love her twists and turns, but I felt this one wasn't as twisty or suspenseful as the others.

I saw a lot of the issues with the "nice guy" coming and instead of sympathising with the main character, I just felt frustrated that she didn't get herself away from Ethan in the first place—especially after his creepy messages.

I will continue to read Sarah's books, but unfortunately this one was not for me.
