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!!!

How far will you go to protect your child? Sara and Guy show us just that in this thriller. Thanks to Netgalley for the early release ARC.

I have loved pretty much every book I have read by this author. I really wanted to love the one but really didn’t. It was intriguing and unique but i just didn’t connect with the characters like i wanted to. I also found the story to be sort of boring in some parts. It wasn’t for me but still will be picking up more from this author in the future.

Daniel Hurst has delivered another gripping, hard to put down, book that sucked me in from the very beginning. Completely addicting! I didn't want to put it down as I was fully invested in the story. This is an addictive tale of bullying and revenge.

Sara knows something is wrong when her fifteen-year-old son Jacob comes home after school and is not acting as he normally does. She and her husband, Guy soon learn that their son is being bullied by another boy at his school. How far will they go to protect their son. Why is bullying so rampant? So scary that anyone has to deal with this in their lives.

Daniel Hurst takes on a very serious subject- Bullying. I thought he did a great job showing how bullying affects an individual. The many physical and emotional scars that bullying leaves. In this book, Jacob experiences shame, guilt, fear, anxiety, embarrassment, and anger because of being bullied. His parents also experience many emotions because of what happens to him.

I was drawn to the characters; I could feel their emotions jumping off the pages. How far will parents go to protect their child/children? I felt for them the entire time even as they did some concerning things. When emotions are high, sometimes judgement goes a little awry.

I found this book to be thought provoking and evoking emotion. What would I have done as a parent in this situation? How could this have been better resolved? There were two questions that went thought my mind while reading. I believe some of the magic in Hurst's books is that he takes real life issues/situations that readers can relate to and has his characters approaching them in some OTT ways.

This was a nicely paced book that kept me turning the pages. The ending was a shocker. I did not see that coming at all.

Does Daniel Hurst ever take a day off? I doubt it as he pumps out books at warp speed! I'm already looking forward to reading another one of his books.

Addictive, thought provoking, hard to put down and well written.

Another thriller by Daniel Hurst. This one follows parents Sara and Guy and their two children Jacob and Amber.

I found this slow and didn’t feel it picked up pace until over half way through.

A good premise focusing on bullying, revenge and how far you would go for your children.

I have read and enjoyed several of Daniel’s books and this was no exception. A great storyline about the difficult subject of bullying and the consequences it can have on families. Fast paced with a twist I didn’t see happening. A great book, I highly recommend this book and author.

Another brilliant read from Daniel Hurst! I’ve read many of his books and was super excited to get my hands on the couples revenge.

When Jacob comes home from school one afternoon and shuts himself away in his bedroom his mother Sara knows straight away that something is wrong with her boy. After trying to get to the bottom of things with her son but having little luck she confides in her husband Guy.

Eventually Guy gets a reluctant Jacob to open up after seeing some bruising on his son whilst they attend a football match. It soon becomes clear Jacob is being bullied by a serial bully. The same bully who is responsible for a young girl taking her own life after making her life a living hell.

Guy takes matters into his own hands and is convinced he has put Mason off bullying his son. A few weeks later Jacob comes home from the park having been badly beaten up. At this point Guy and Sara decide to take revenge on Mason by taking matters into their own hands and ensuring he can never hurt their son or anyone else ever again.

At the start I found the couples revenge quite predictable and very straight forward however as the book goes on their is a huge twist thrown into the mix throwing up lots of questions not only for the readers but for Sara and Guy. It was very cleverly twisted in which is one of the things that keeps drawing me back to Daniel Hursts books.

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

This book was amazing. I could not put it down because the story is so engaging and well written. I loved the way it unfolded and took you on a journey into the characters world.

A mother will always protect their child especially when they fear their son is being bullied. Sara will do everything she can to protect her son from the bullying from his classmate. What will she do to put an end to this, and how far will she go ?
Another brilliant psychological thriller by Daniel Hurst. Fast paced and suspenseful, and kept my interest the whole way through, and wow what a twist. I really didn't expect that !! Thank you Daniel and NetGalley for my ARC.

This is my first time reading a Daniel Hurst novel and I found it similar to reading a Freida McFadden thriller. The plot is enough to keep you interested but parts of the story (especially the ending) were unrealistic and predictable. I didn’t connect with any of the characters, I found the parents behaviour to be rather erratic and the wife was constantly jumping over the fact that her husband had a bit of an alcohol issue. The entire conflict in the first half of the book was repetitive but the second half saved the book. While the ending was unrealistic, the lead up to the final twist was well written and kept my interest.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC copy of this book!

Rating: 3/5

Guy and Sarah have a lovely life with their two children Jacob and Amber. Sarah works from home so she could be there to make Jacobs after school sandwich despite he’s in high school he still looks forward to the treat from his mom every day and on the day he comes home ignoring her and going straight to his room and slamming the door Sarah knows immediately something is wrong. When she calls Guy to tell him he even skips a pint with the boys to rush home and see what’s wrong with his son Jacob. This is when the couple finds out that the boy Mason who drove another man’s daughter to commit suicide by bullying has started in on their boy and Guy isn’t putting up with it. When he goes to speak to Mason Nolan‘s dad it doesn’t go the way Guy thought it would. Because Guy learns the apple doesn’t fall far from the bullying tree it seems Mason’s dad is just as violent and provoking as his son Mason after the two fathers get in a fistfight the police are called but it isn’t Nolan‘s dad get in trouble the guy and Sarah who get questioned by the police. It seems no matter what happens it is never Mason who gets in trouble but when they have to rush Jacob to the hospital after he beat him up in the park Sarah and Guy have had enough but when their plan goes awry then I have been off way more than they intended to two. I love Daniel Hearst books and I’ve noticed after reading every book is written that in his books he will put little funny conversations that although this is a serious psychological thriller always makes me laugh and then this one it was the conversation about the balaclavas I’ll laugh so much after reading that. No having said that let me say I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves thrillers I especially enjoyed this one because instead of the cheating husband it was a couple who unites to defend their son and I thought it would be a street story with them wanting to get revenge and it was but I never expected the twist and oh is there a twist Daniel hurst always throws curveballs and I still am not a custom to catching them lol! I love these books and found this a great awesome thriller! I want to thank Bookoucher and Net Galley for my free arc copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.
