Thank you to Netgalley....another page turner
Psychological thriller
Characters are complex and compelling
Page turner from the moment of download
very juicy, almost at times realistic
would be a good Netflix movie

Jenna did an amazing job with this thriller. I am a sucker for any thriller that involves nurses and this hit the spot!

I was not able to finish the book and therefore do not feel that I can give an unbiased review about the book, its plot, characters, or the author's work. I might revisit this book at a later time and finish it then, but not right now.

Synopsis: All I’ve ever wanted is to care for people, to nurse my patients back to full health. So when Dr Roth hires me, I promise him I won’t leave his wife’s side. But after weeks of no progress, I start to worry Sabrina will never get better.

But then, I notice when her husband leaves the house, Sabrina becomes more clear-headed. She tells me she’s done something terrible. And that her husband is lying. He keeps her trapped because of what she did. And she begs me to help her escape.

Can I believe the words of a woman suffering from delusions? Or is Dr Roth not as trustworthy as he seems? One of them is lying. But there is something the Roths don’t know… because I’m lying too. And if they find out why I’m truly here, I’m certain I won’t leave this house alive.

Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

The beginning as a bit slow but once I got into the book I couldn’t put it down. I liked the mental health theme of the book. There are a few twists and turns. Some obvious and some I did not see coming. I enjoyed the ending and thought the book was wrapped up well. I would read this author again in the future.

Woah. So this book starts slowly, but it does pick up. The premise isn’t the most original, but it’s captivating nonetheless. The big twist wasn’t as shocking either, but a book can be totally valid even if you see something coming, and that's how I feel about this one. I loved the ride!

At first, I worried it was too much like another popular book, but I stuck with it, and I’m glad that I did because it paid off. Yay!

It’s my first book by her, but I’m intrigued enough to want to check out more. Stick with it until the second half and you’ll enjoy it!

Solid 3.6 (rounded)

I didn't like the plot, but it was fun to read. Good writing style! It was really fast paced and I enjoyed the book until the ending.

I was really enjoying this fast paced thriller until the end, where the court details were revealed, because it didn't feel like its energy matched the rest of the book. It felt so abrupt and clean cut instead of the mess we'd been developing. I did enjoy the explanations and found them slightly surprising but not shocking in the slightest. I was really intrigued by the dynamics between the characters and they made the energy of the book feel very tense like we were waiting for the other shoe to drop. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley for copies of the audio and ebook! As a nurse I was totally down to read this thriller. From the start this felt reminiscent of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥 but then the writing got a little boring for me. The last 20% or so was good but I didn't like how the reveal was executed. I think the overall plot of this book was good but the writing just didn't do it for me unfortunately.

First of all apologies for missing the archive date. I did however love this book. The premise of a psychologist who's wife has hallucinations and paranoia was a great start. Dr Roth is extremely charming at first but soon turns nasty when he feels that Emily is going along with Sabrinas paranoia/ hallucinations. Just what is exactly wrong with Sabrina and why does Dr Roth need a nurse/ babysitter for his wife? The ending was so far from what I had imagined. How much can rich people get away with?
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read this.... Would love a second instalment.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to read an advanced review copy in exchange for my honest review to the author, publisher and netgallely.

In The Nurse by Jenna Kernan we have yet another anxiety ridden young woman who defeated the odds and became the valedictorian of her nursing class and is now a licensed practical nurse and this is how she gets a job with Dr. Henry Roth to be a companion to his wife Sabrina they look like the perfect tuber rich couple he is the top psychiatrist in the area and she is a beautiful woman but not everything is as it seems she suffers from paranoia and thoughts of delusion or at least that’s what he told Emily when he hired her to be the caregiver to his wife Emily is a nosy person in the first chance you get to start going through their home and finds things that the doctor doesn’t want her to see she even spies on Sabrina and in the end it could cost her everything. Let me just stay upfront I love Jenna Kernan‘s historical romances and have loved her other thriller stories but this will not so much. For one thing it took forever to get to the nitty-gritty and I also didn’t get the hall if Sabrina suffered from paranoia and already thought Emily was following her why would Emily go snoop around her house I just thought that was weird not to mention as I said it took forever to get to the nitty-gritty and then even longer to get to the twist at the end which by then I’m not going to lie I was expecting it I still think some people would really enjoy this book I don’t know if it was my mindset today but this just wasn’t a book for me I found it only OK. 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.

A gripping, nail-biter, thrill from start to finish! This author will be added to my favorite list! I loved this and could not put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Wow this book was amazing. Definitely top 5 book i have read all year. So many thrilling moments and twist after twist. Had heart racing moments and even a legit jaw dropping moment.

I highly recommend this book!!!

Wow what a book. Gripping and a real page turner with twists and turns. The ending was brilliant. Would highly recommend this book

Great read! The premise of this book is about a well respected psychiatrist that needs a private nurse to take care of his mentally ill wife. Firstly, I’m a psych nurse, so I was instantly invested in the book just based on its title. The author did a great job illustrating the power dynamic that rich people can have over “the help” and what money can help you get away with. I have to say, I did not see the twist coming at the end and it gave that bitter sweet revenge tale vibes. Definitely recommend this book!

I really enjoyed this book! I read it in o e day! Absolutely could not put it down! I would definitely recommend this book!

Ahh, dear. I'm kicking myself as I usually manage to keep my eyes on the archive date and download before they occur, but I somehow managed to miss this one. I have just purchased it as I still want to read it as much as ever, My apologies for missing the archive date.

The Nurse
By: Jenna Kernan

3 Stars

When Emily gets a chance to be a personal nurse to the rich Doctor Roth and his wife, Sabrina, she jumps at the chance. An easy job and a great paycheck are just what Emily needs. After starting, she finds out this job may not be exactly what she thought it would be, but it would change her life.

In my opinion, this was a pretty good story, but the layout of the book needs a little work. The storyline and characters have a lot of promise. Dr. Roth had the scare factor. Sabrina brought the mental side and was by far my favorite character. The story itself was thrilling and kept me on edge, but the layout of some of the information and chapters made the story hard to follow along. Switching from one narrator to another without any sign that it's someone else really messed up the story for me while reading. It was a bit confusing.

Ultimately, this is a good story that I enjoyed. I want to thank Netgalley and the author for this book in return for my honest review.

Masterful and a must read for anyone who likes thrillers and twists.
