Copy

This is my first book to read by the author and wow,what a good book! It takes place in Florida where I live so that was a plus as I was familiar with the area!
This was a physiological thriller that slowly comes together but the ending I never saw coming!
Great book and I look forward to reading more from her!
Thank Net Galley for allowing me to read and review book!

This book is well written and the character development is good but way too many details for my taste.
Very slow read…not a fast paced thriller. It took too long to get to the “good stuff”.

Seductive and twisted. Highly recommended! Readers, find some quiet alone time to settle in with this one because you won't stop reading until you've turned the final page. Highly recommended the nurse to fans of mysteries, suspense and thrillers.

I really enjoyed this book! The characters were well developed and the story was engaging. I recommend that others try this book as well. Well done!

The Nurse by Jenna Kerman was a fast paced thriller that had me from the beginning. At first I thought it was going to be your typical rich family hires poor nurse, blah blah blah. Oh noo. The author takes a completely different route that is unique and fresh.

Emily has just graduated as an LPN from nursing school and accepts a job caring for the wife of a psychiatrist. He explains how his wife has mania, poor impulse control, doesn't understand fiction from reality, and so on. He is her sole physician and the wife takes a massive amount of medication daily to sedate her.

There is a lot of detail in this book. However, it's all there for a reason. Emily is trying to decide if the wife is really ill or if the husband is keeping her a prisoner. As Emily researches and looks for clues to solve this mystery, the story gets more thrilling.

The ending absolutely blew me away. Not even the ending. The last half of the book. I was very much a fan of Emily and her past troubles. The author wrote so well, I felt like I was right there with Emily. I have never read anything by her, but definitely will. This book was fantastic and I highly recommend it. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. I greatly appreciate it.

WOW just wow! I finsihed this a few days ago, but have had to take some time to digest it! It's a slow burner, you really need to keep with it as it's jaw dropping in the end! Stunning read.

This book was so good. I couldn’t put it down. The suspense was amazing and I didn’t figure it out until the end.
5 stars

This book was gonna get 4 stars, simply because it felt lack lustre as far as psychological thrillers go up to around 60%. And then I finished it, and it’s gotta be 5 stars. It deserves it for that damned plot twist! I’m getting ahead of myself, no spoilers.

The plot - Emily is a newly qualified nurse, and is desperate for a job. She is requested for by the Roth’s as a personal nurse for Henry Roth’s mentally ill wife, Sabrina. However it turns out, there are darker things in play when it comes to Sabrina’s mental health, and Emily is playing catch up trying to figure out what is the truth, and what are just part of Sabrina’s delusions. This is a psychological thriller, the ending I did NOT expect. Like, at all. It was completely from left field, and I hadn’t even conceived it as a possibility until it was all laid out for me. Obsessed. I was obsessed.

The characters - in some psychological thrillers, the characters tend to struggle to be more than 2D, fitting a specific gimmick, purpose, or red herring role. As it turns out, the characters in this book are complex, intricate characters and I found myself invested in each one. They were thoroughly enjoyable to read about.

Unfortunately i could not get into this book. It was very very slow. I skipped around but still didn't get into it. Seems like an overdone plot.

I read this book within a day, that's how good it is. Just when I thought I'd worked it out ..... bam ....... the author threw another curveball. I can't recommend it highly enough, it's a brilliant read.

What a read! One of the best thrillers I have read this year.

Emily is fresh out of nursing school, commencing an in-home nursing job in the Roth's beautiful mansion. Dr. Roth is a busy psychiatrist, who needs help caring for his wife, Sabrina. Sabrina is mentally unstable and on a combination of medications to help with her mood and delusions. Along with supplying Sabrina with her meds, Emily is also in responsible for driving Sabrina around, cleaning up her messes, and dealing with her attitude. But, the job pays well, and Emily is desperate for money.

Sabrina tells Emily that Dr. Roth is lying and pumping her full of medications in order to keep her imprisoned in the house. Emily is unsure whether to believe Dr. Roth or Sabrina.

This was such an enjoyable read! The storyline sucked me in from the first page and just kept getting better. I did not know who to believe. Every time I thought I had things figured out, Jenna Kernan takes the reader in another direction. This is one you will not be able to put down. It so clever and well thought out. This was an easy 5 stars for me. I cannot wait to read more by Ms. Kernan!

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. Can't put the book down. The plot of the story is thrilling and full of suspense. Highly recommend this book.

Emily feels lucky to get a job in the home of Dr and Mrs Roth, looking after Sabrina as a nurse. It is finally her chance to earn a good wage and clear her debts. At first Emily finds Sabrina to be cold and rude but is happy to put up with it to keep her job. Then one day Sabrina tells her something shocking and she must decide if it is real or the delusions of a very disturbed woman... A thrilling and dark story that keeps you turning the pages until the shocking ending. Loved it!

I read this book pretty quickly as I couldn't put it down. I thought I knew what it would be, but the twists are amazing and I was surprised by what was happening.

It does start off pretty slow, but you really do need to push through and keep reading as it get good!!

I'll definitely be recommending this one.

Emily has just landed a new position as a private nurse. She lives with her friend, her only family was her mother and sister both sadly have passed away. Her employer Mr Roth wanted the valedictorian and got her in Emily. She unfortunately is in debt from being at school and desperately needs the job which is to look after Mrs Roth, Mr Roth being a psychiatrist. It appears Mrs Roth suffers from PTSD amongst other mental issues some of which stem from childhood. As Emily gets to know her patient, she wonders if everything she has been told is true or is Mr Roth conveniently keeping his wife sedated for other reasons?

Oh boy! Flabbergasted! One of those reads I couldn't turn fast enough- to me the skill of a brilliant author. There's a clever tension amongst the pages, something I couldn't quite put my finger on but kept me reading and reading. The twist at the end blew me away, something I didn't put my finger on- how very clever and well crafted. Prepare to be surprised and read into the small hours. A fast paced, addictive rollercoaster of a book I couldn't put down and one that captivated me. A big 5*

The Nurse by Jenna Kernan was a fast paced thriller. I could not work out who lying. It was an absolutely gripping read! From start to finish I was hooked. When you think you have it worked out boom another twist is thrown at you.

Emily is just out of nursing school when she lands a job working for a rich phycologist and his mentally unstable wife. When the wife starts to fight to remain coherent and sends out alarm bells. Emily doesn’t know who trust.

This was a terrific fast paced read that kept me flying through the book I will be highly recommending this to everyone.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

OMG. This started out on the slower side with a lot of setting the scene, but once things started moving, forget the kids. Forget dinner. Forget adulting. Forget sleep.

Emily needs money, Dr. Roth needs someone to watch his ill wife Sabrina and make sure she stays medicated, because she's mentally unwell. Easy job. Until Sabrina starts to fight to remain coherent and sends out alarm bells. Who does Emily trust?

Fast paced. You won't know who to believe. Twists and turns you don't see coming. Really bleary eyes the next morning when you only got three hours of sleep, because you HAD to finish this one. A++

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Gobsmacked! Absolutely loved this to the point where I'm not looking into the author's other books and downloading them.

Initially I thought this was going to be very similar to other psychological thrillers I've read. The setup is familiar - wealthy, good looking man hires a down-on-her-luck young woman to watch over mysteriously ill wife. I find the premise irresistible because I've read many versions of this book before. However in this case, the author takes it in a very interesting direction which is fresh and unique.

Yes it moves very slowly at the beginning. The chapters are long and there's lots of drawn out description and dialogue. However I enjoyed the descriptions of settings at the beginning as it really helped ground me in the place. If you're reading and getting bogged down in the initial slow pace don't give up. I promise it'll be worth it.
By the time we got to the end I was hoping the author would take the story in the direction where it went. I was absolutely delighted that indeed she did but still managed to make my jaw drop even though I had guessed the twist.

I'll say this - there's a lot of detail in this book. But all of it matters. Little details will knit together and make sense when you get to the end.

Recommend very strongly if you're a fan of this genre! Also, I finished it in a few hours.

This is the first time that I am not finishing a Netgalley ARC. Sadly, this book just took me way too long to get into. Only at 20 pages does the nurse (the main character) get to the house, at 50 pages she still hasn’t met her patient. There are so many descriptions of places and other visuals and the story is just not moving forward. At 55 pages in nothing had happened yet and I just had to give up. This is sadly not fast paced thriller I was looking for.
