Wow! I was hooked from the very beginning and just had to keep reading. What a story! Guy and Sara are dealing with their son, Jacob, who is being bullied by the local bully family. They want to get revenge because they can’t trust that the police and the law will do the right thing to protect not only their son, but also all the other people in the town. They make plans, but have a big decision to make….will they actually go through with it? You’ll just have to read the book to find out.

Aww man, the twist in the book had my jaw in the ground! Another amazing read from Daniel Hurst. I thought I knew exactly how it was going ti play out but I couldnt have been more wrong. Engaging, atmospheric, relatable and impossible to put down

As always Daniel Hurst's books not only keep me hooked throughout but they always manage to keep me guessing.

Great story! As a mom, it's always hard to read about bullying, or children getting hurt in any manner. This book definitely hurt my heart, but also made me feel victorious, which was nice. It had a great twist at the end, and tied things up very well! I enjoyed reading this book!

Daniel Hurst is a very talented writer as I have read many of his other books, I was thankful to be given the opportunity to read his new book ‘The Couple’s Revenge’ and it was an amazing thriller that gripped me from the very start, I couldn’t wait for the ending to see how everything came together.

Sara and Guy, a happy couple have a daughter who is away at university and their fifteen-year-old son Jacob is at high school as happy as could be until one day he comes home not his usual self. They know something is wrong even though he denies it. Eventually Sara and Guy find out Jacob is being bullied by a well-known bully, Mason who has a history of doing these things. A while after telling his parents about the bullying Jacob comes home battered and bruised from a severe attack from Mason. Enough is enough, Sara and Guy decide to take matters into their own hands.

The book is told from Sara and Guy’s point of views which I enjoyed seeing how each parent was dealing with the situation and how they coped with the turn of events that conspire. I really felt the pain for Jacob as well as for the parents as no child should ever be afraid to go to school. I felt anger in the first half of the book but once I got past that I was engrossed in the mystery and once I thought I knew the answer I was dead wrong.

The twist in the book was unexpected and I was shocked from the turn of events that I didn’t see coming. This is definitely becoming one of my favourite books from Daniel Hurst, not only did I enjoy it, but I also felt everything about this book and the portrayal of bullying and what it does to its victims.

I recommend this book most definitely, I read it in one sitting. A nail-biting psychological thriller that is hard to put down.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers Bookouture for the copy of this arc in exchange of my honest review.

Firstly I would like to say a massive thank you for letting me review this amazing thriller. As always, I was gripped from the first page till the very last, I was on a train whilst reading this, and the ending made me go out loud. Daniel’s books just get better with every single one!

How far would you go to exact revenge for your child? This story is a look at bullying and the effects it has not only on the person being bullied, but the whole family.

When Jacob’s demeanor changes and his parents notice he’s not the happy child he used to be, they confront him and are shocked to find out he’s being bullied by Mason, who has already caused the death of another child by tormenting her to the point of suicide. They make the decision to confront Mason’s parents and things only go downhill from there.

This story is dark and emotionally chaotic. One never knows how they’ll react to a certain situation until they are in the middle of it, and it’s easy to put yourself in the life of this family and feel their pain.

I recommend this book to lovers of thrillers and anyone who loves an engrossing story.

Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC. You can grab yourself a copy on January 4, 2024.

Sara and Guy are fairly happy in their humdrum marriage and life. Their daughter is away at University, and their son is in high school. He is a happy, friendly teenager, until he isn't happy at all.

Guy notices bruises on Jacob's body, quite by accident, and the truth comes out.

He was thrown to the ground and kicked by a well known bully at school. Mason was responsible for the suicide of a young girl three years before.

Jacob comes home from soccer badly beaten. Again by Mason and is hospitalized.

Guy and Sara decide that something drastic has to change before their son takes his own life.

I have read several of Daniel Hurst's books, and they were good. Entertaining. But this one!
This one I did not only read, I FELT it.
As a parent to a manly, but sensitive son, who happened to have been bullied at school, I felt the heartbreak of these parents.
I felt their need for revenge. I felt their murderous feelings towards the boy and his family who were as bad as him.
No, it is not rational to wish harm on a child, but when your child is hurting, physically and emotionally, it sure feels like you have to step in and do something.

I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
I read it in one sitting, I could not put it down, and still feel the heart break and anger that I felt while reading it.
Quite the twist at the end as well.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

When your fifteen-year-old son, comes home from school and shuts themselves away in their bedroom, what do you do? You know something is seriously wrong, you know your child inside out. And when you finally find out the truth, how much your child is hurting because of a bully, your world is turned upside down. How far will you go to protect your child?

The story is told with each chapter being from Guy’s (Jacob’s dad) or Sara’s (Jacob’s mum) point of view. We follow how the family cope and deal with life, now that it’s changed for them all. Can they stop the bully, Mason? What can they do to put an end to their son’s trauma - kill?

This is a story that had my attention from the very start. I also found this a very hard book to read. Having taken one of my own children out of school due to bullying and lack of help, I genuinely understood the emotions in this story.

Bullying is every parent’s nightmare. No one wants to see their child suffering, whether mentally or physically. I felt the author wrote an outstanding story, which took everyone’s feelings and emotions into account.

The twist was superb, I didn’t see that coming!
All parents want to protect their children, but thankfully, most people wont go to such extremes.

A superb psychological thriller that makes you sit back and think.

My thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

The Couples Revenge: This book by Daniel Hurst is a fantastic read! It focuses on bullying & how far parents would go to protect their children. I couldn’t put it down. And the twist at the end was jaw-dropping!!

The Couples Revenge by Daniel Hurst
Thank you Netgalley for giving me an ARC of this book! I was so excited that I got approved for a Daniel Hurst Book he is one of my favorite authors currently !!

I love the change of perspective between both parents; Sara and Guy. I love getting in their brain and knowing their perspectives of the events that are taking place, and how they understand what is happening to their son Jacob. I definitely couldn’t not put the book down once I started. The book kept me completely immersed.

I feel like a lot of parents will relate to this book. It shows how far parents will go to protect their children. I felt the book twisted and turned and I did not expect the ending whatsoever . It was completely different from what I was imagining. As always I loved Daniel Hursts books! I highly recommend this book to any thriller lover !!

I just love this author's books. It does not matter whether he writes series or a stand alone, I just devour them all.

Each and every time he manages to create stories around every day people you can easily relate to and that's what makes them so attractive to me. 

And of course the twists that can be found in them... They are just to die for. :)

Bullying... it happens every day. Men, women, adults or children, they are can become victims and still it seems like it's not something important that should be dealt with once and for all. It's a dangerous thing and it can result in big, life changing disasters.

Revenge... is it something you should consider or should you rely on the system? What would you do if you were in Sarah and Guy's shoes?

Another difficult to put down book. Wonderful characters, great story lines and twists that let my mouth fall open. 5 stars

Thank you

4 Stars out of 5.

The Couple's Revenge started off with a bang and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. The story really sucks you in and I had to get to the ending as quickly as I could to find out what happened. I really enjoyed reading The Doctor series by Daniel Hurst and his latest work is just as good. You are on the edge of your seat the entire read. I really felt the pain both the parents and Jacob went thru during the book. The ending was not what I expected but everything was tied up nicely. This book brings up bullying and might be a trigger for some readers.

Jacob enjoyed going to school and activities but one day he comes home and runs upstairs to his room and doesn't say a word. His mom, Sara, knew something was wrong with her son even though he denied it. Eventually, Sara and Guy (Jacobs father) find out their son has been bullied by a known bully, Mason. A little while after Jacob told his parents about the bullying he is severely hurt by Mason again. The parents end up taking things into their own hands.

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for an early copy of The Couple’s Revenge. Daniel Hurst is the BEST!!!! OHMYGOSH his books are soooooooooo intense. I actually felt Jacob's pain, it was heart wrenching. The NOW part was so nerve wracking, I couldn’t read fast enough. Then the ending, WOW!!!!!!! What a Fantastic read, Soooooooo many emotions and gasping for my breath. Thank you sooooo much again. Please do NOT stop writing Daniel.

This book was fantastic. It was definitely a slow start but picked up around halfway through and really had some great twists and captivating storyline. This is another successful Hurst book. It’s worth the read!

I very much empathize with the parents in this story. I’ve had a child be bullied at school, and I even went to their house and told a parent. However, there was never any physical violence, on either side, so I definitely cannot speak to that. Look, I understand wanting to protect your child, but I have a hard time believing that this kind of situation could escalate so quickly. Maybe I just want to assume the best of most people. There were some twists and turns here that I didn’t catch, which I love! This is a fast read that most parents can probably relate to, at least at the beginning…

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Daniel Hurst is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors. I was completely invested in this book from chapter one and read the book in just over a day. It was impossible to put this book down. Gripping, thrilling and fast paced, it kept me enthralled to the end. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

4.5 stars
Wowww! What a story! I finished this in less than a day! I could feel the pain the parents went through as well as Jacob. I was so mad for the first half of the book, for all that was happening with their family. I love a good revenge story and this was no different! I had many theories on what happened but did not expect the twist at the end at all! So much fun!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for an honest review of the book!

This is what i would describe as a gentle thriller. Typical Daniel Hurst, nothing to taxing, an interesting story and easily read in one sitting. My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
