This book deals with the effects that bullying can have on a family. When Guy and Sara realize that their son is being bullied by the school bully that caused another girl to commit suicide, they push the limit to how far to go to protect him.

This is an explosive story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A great read!

I have always loved Daniel s books but I didn't find this one quite as good as the others and at times slow in the middle. However what it did capture was a mother's instinct when her son istroubled and the depths parents will go to to orotect a child. A real twist of an ending which I didn't guess.
Highly recommend a read.

Ooh this was so twisted and fun to read! It makes you question everyone in your own life and who you cross! Be sure to add this to your list!

I will say, out of the numerous books I have read by Daniel Hurst, not a single one has ever left me disappointed. He is truly a master of suspense. His books are fueled with tension and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

A little bit about the storyline- Within the community, there has been much publicity regarding Mason, a terrible jerk who bullied another student so severely that she ended up taking her own life. As with many bullies in real life, nothing was really done to Mason or his family, leaving a family grieving in the wake of the unimaginable. Mason is forced to switch schools and you would think that he would have learned a lesson, but this piece of trash feels no remorse for what he's caused. He sets his sights on a new target to bully, Jacob. When Jacob's parents find out that Mason has caused him physical harm, they decide enough is enough. This community already lost one previous child and they won't allow it to happen to their child. They're not the only ones who want revenge and since Mason's family is unconcerned with the lives of anyone else, who will end up taking matters into their own hands and teach this bully a lifelong lesson?

I guess you'll have to read to find out!

The Couple's Revenge is another home run for Hurst, who is incapable of writing a bad book. I simply couldn't put it down and I was constantly entertained and hanging on to his every word!

As a mother - this book totally got me. My daughter is bullied almost daily by the same boy, who also bullies other members of their class.
Guy and Sara have a similar issue - with their teenage son. Hurst does an amazing job showcasing the complexity of this topic. I felt this one hard - very invested from the beginning!
Family drama focusing on timely and hard topic -- how much do we protect our children while granting them space to learn it for themselves.

This was my first book by Daniel Hurst. I honestly struggled through the first 60% of this book. It was very wordy (repetitive) as it kept repeating the same thought simply worded differently sometimes 3-4 times. It felt a bit as if the author was just trying to hit his word count. It took until about 63% of the way through for things to pick up. I will say that I was shocked by the first big twist and that was when I was hooked. I wasn't expecting the ending and it was satisfying. This is a great read if you love a slow burn that builds to the climax.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC of The Couple's Revenge in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I am a big fan of this author, although I didn't think this book was his best. A little too predictable .

Wow! Just wow!! I seriously could not put this one down. One surprise after the next except me hooked to the very end! Excellent character development and storyline! Just when I thought I had it figure out - I was totally wrong.
This one is a must-read!!

Such a quick, fast paced thriller that I really enjoyed! A PAGE-TURNER that I could not put down. Like-able characters and smooth plot dives right into the story!
A horrible bully causes a young girl to suicidal end. A mourning family left without justice. New school but same horrible bully finds a new target to harass and beat. His seething family seeks vengeance, but vengeance is taken before they get the chance. So who did it and can they get away with it??

A very typical Daniel Hurst book, whom I absolutely LOVE! Thank you #NetGalley and #bookouture for an arc to review!

Daniel Hurst did it again with The Couple’s Revenge that published on January 4th 2024 by bookouture. I have read quite a few of Daniel’s books and I gotta say they just keep getting better and better I swear!!

In the couple's revenge we meet guy and Sara, two doting parents.
parents who worry about their son, who's starting to behave different. After some digging, it's revealed that he's bullied by another boy, and it's a race against the clock.

Thank you so much Netgalley, Daniel Hurst and Bookouture for allowing me to read another amazing book.

Gripping book. Daniel Hurst made a good job writing this book. I was feeling tense and sitting at the edge of my seat. Other times I was feeling angry and wanted to shout out at the characters. You won't feel relaxed reading this book, but you will feel all kinds of emotions. Definitely recommend!

how well do you know your children? Do you know when something is wrong with your children? Would you seek revenge when you know your child is being bullied and hurt? Loved this story on two parents who would do whatever it takes to protect their child.

I really enjoy Daniel’s book but this one was a miss for me. It seemed like something was missing and I was underwhelmed the whole time I was reading it. I wasn’t sitting on the edge of my seat. I just keep waiting for it to get better. Jacob is being bullied by Mason and Jacob’s parents, Sara and Guy, decide to take matters into their own hands. They want to protect Jacob and will do whatever it takes. I did not expect the book to end the way it did.

Although this book wasn’t for me, I would definitely recommend it.

Guy and Sara have a close relationship with their son Jacob so they know instantly that something is wrong when he starts behaving oddly. Jacob is being bullied and the worried parents decide they have no option but to take matters into their own hands...
The Couple's Revenge is a psychological thriller that plays on parents' fears for their children's mental and physical wellbeing.
Poor Jacob is obviously upset and finally confesses that he is the target of the school bully. This bully left his last school after his victim committed suicide. Jacob's parents are determined to protect their son at any cost and also prevent any other child suffering at the bully's hands.
The book is written using the first person perspectives of Guy and Sara via alternating chapters. Their fears and emotions are wonderfully written and I'm sure every parent will identify with the minutiae of their relationship with each other and their child. The prologue gives massive clues about the lengths the parents would go to in order to protect their son, and then the book goes back to show how they came to this terrible choice.
I found that I had to suspend my disbelief when the parents decide to take control of the situation. This didn't stop me loving the way the plot twisted and I was absolutely gripped. I had several theories about who and why events proceed as they do. I was not disappointed by the resolution which ties up all the loose ends.
The Couple's Revenge is a tense, dramatic and emotionally engaging psychological thriller.

3.5 rounded up
Jacob is acting really strange. Maybe it is regular teenage stuff. But this seems like more. Guy and Sarah know something is wrong with their son. They believe it is bullying.
There was a teenage girl who was bullied and ended up killing herself, and they do not want the same fate for their son
Guy sees bruises on Jacob and finds out Mason, a boy at the school, really is bullying Jacob
Mason is the same kid who bullied the teenage girl to death.
When Guy tries to confront Mason's parents. They do not care. They show no concern for Jacob and anything that has been done to him by their son
Who's to say that justice will even take care of Mason. Something needs to be done to stop this menace from harming or bullying another child
How far would your mama bear protection go to save your child from harm or danger

I found this book to develop and unfold way too slowly for my style and taste. I tried, it didn't work for me.

Love this author and this book was just wow! Enjoyed it from start to finish. Packed with twists, an absolute masterpiece.

Well that took a twist at the end to find out who truly did the deed. Just goes to show that you really need to lool over your shoulder, you really don't know who is following you.
One family looses a child due to another families neglect and bully. Another family has a child hurt due to the same negative family and bullying. Only time would leave the bully family open for bad things to happen.

Well… as a parent of a young man and being school staff… this gave me those wide eyes and chills!!! Daniel Hurst has been an author I’ve found recently and I’m very quickly been devouring all of his books. Read them all, I dare you. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars.

Daniel Hurst has quickly become one of my favourite authors and this new book does not disappoint. It follows two parents whose love for their son leaves them considering some very dark options on how to deal with a school bully and the impact will be even darker than they could ever imagine. How far would you go to protect your child.
