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!

The Baby Swap by Daniel Hurst


This will hook you in from the beginning. It is a fast-paced thriller full of twists and turns that will keep you wanting more.

We get to follow Jade and Avril and the chapters are each told from their POV. One of them does the unthinkable and swaps her baby with another newborn baby on the ward. As the reasons for this start to unfold the author throws one shocking twist after another. We get to see a glimpse of the Past so we can start to understand how someone could make such a decision.

The author is great at making you torn about who to root for as just as you feel you are starting to understand, things are turned around. It definitely had me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next.

If you love a twisty, fast-paced thriller that is easy to read, this is the book for you.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #Bookouture for the book #TheBabySwap by #DanielHurst. This book was super crazy and right up my alley with stalking, manipulation and bullying. Jade has wanted revenge against Avril for a long while and now sees her chance. It seems they are both at the same hospital delivering baby boys on the same day. Quietly, Jade sneaks over and switches the babies. She now has Avril’s and Avril has her baby. Will she get away with this?

As always, Daniel Hurst has written a fast-paced, gripping thriller! I couldn't get my hands on this book fast enough! The basis of this book was what immediately grabbed my attention, and I was engaged and turning the pages as fast as possible to know eyar would happen next. I was sad as it came to an end, but wow! Such a great book. Highly recommend all of Daniel's books

A twisty thriller with an ending i didn't see coming!. A great fast paced, quick read that keeps you engrossed until the very end. Another hit by Daniel Hurst.

Twisty, twisty - oh my! If you know Daniel Hurst, you’re ready to buckle up for a ride, and Baby Swap did not fall short on expectations. I loved being taken through multiple points of view, following both mothers involved in the swap. This was such an easy ready because I didn’t want to put it down! A book with plot twists and reveals is what I live for - thinking I know the twist and being proved wrong never gets old - and I was not disappointed here. I also felt a connection for both mothers, which is rare for me as I usually connect to only one main character in a story with multiple POVs. I will certainly recommend this book to all my physiological thriller fans out there!

I have to say I was interested in this book when it was compared to authors like Freida McFadden. I do have to say I am still yet to find a better author however I can see the similarities. The prologue of this book left me with so many questions making me want to carry on reading to find out the answers. There was a few points that I personally thought there was simple solutions to the problems faced. However I did enjoy this book and found the twist very good. I give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

If you like reading Freida McFadden books, then check out Daniel Hurst's books--equally mind blogging and will keep you awake all night!

Jade ad Avril are pregnant and enter into the same hospital to give birth. After giving birth, Jade on a whim decided to swap her own baby with Avril's baby--an act of revenge she wanted against Avril for something that happened seven years ago. As they went to their respective houses, Avril feels that there is something wrong with her baby. While her husband Bobby dismisses that Avril might be suffering from post natal depression, Avril believes that her baby is actually not her own baby. Meanwhile Jade lived in fear that Avril might realize that she had swapped the babies.

This was a chilling thriller and quiet a page turner as well. The story is told in both Jade and Avril's POV. The event that happened seven years ago is also told in Jade's POV mostly. Avril is fearing about karma as she knows that she has done horrible things in the past and had hurt someone badly while Jude lived in fear that the police might come at the doorstep and arrest her for swapping the babies. I like how the author balanced the emotions of both the women in the story. The ending was quiet unpredictable and unexpected and I thought Avril deserved that ending. And of course, Jade may have flaws but I found myself sympathizing with her more than with Avril. Overall, this was a brilliant thriller written by Daniel Hurst and really enjoyed this thriller. Worth 4.5 stars!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

What kind of woman would swap two babies in the hospital shortly after their birth? What would cause her to do the things she does? Do they really benefit anyone ?
Avril and Jade have each given birth to a tiny, little boy. One baby cries all the time and the other is sweet. Why does one of them have a sudden,radical change in his personality? Is it selfishness or does it go deeper than that?
What a great read this is. The pages practically turn themselves. Daniel Hurst turns everyday situations into major plot twists. I just read The Husband and really liked it, and am enjoying The Baby Swap. Unhinged, I say!
The best part is that I don't want to take a break, so I stay put and fly through the pages and certainly reap the rewards.
Wow! This is definitely a psychological thriller with pathological twists and turns that are
unanticipated and exciting.
I am gobsmacked.

Thank you to the author and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Jade is down on her luck and about to give birth as a single mum, but the woman who made her life misery is also giving birth in the bed next to her. But what if she can get revenge and it would be as simple as swapping babies?

This novel is split between multiple points of view, mainly through the main characters of Avril and Jade, with alternating chapters.

I struggled in places with this novel only because I didn't know who to trust or which character to like. But this shows the intensity of Hursts writing, always keeping the reader on their toes.

There were several areas that left me in suspense two twists I didn't see coming. I just can't get enough of Hurst's writing.

Another fantastic novel by this author who just keeps getting better and better.
