Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC. This is the first Daniel Hurst book I've read and I'm a fan. It was not at all what I expect but I really liked the characters and it kept me interested right from the start. I flew this this book wanting to know what was going to happen next. I definitely didn't see that twist coming! I will be checking out some of his other books in the near future.

Daniel Hurst never let’s me down when it comes to twists, turns, plots and secrets. This was yet another greats read from an author whose work I ❤️.

Darcy and her coworker are in home nurses who have been hired by a couple to care for the wife after a brain injury. Darcy has a feeling that there is something not quite right. Her feelings are justified. There is something off about the whole situation. I enjoyed this fast paced read.

As a nurse, I was really excited to read this. It started off slow, picking up around the 70% mark. We follow Darcey and Pippa as nurses on a new job in a mansion.
Some of the things mentioned in beginning of the book did n really work for me being a nurse, but I continued reading :)
The end picked up alot. It was a fast read

The Perfect Nurse is a fast pace read that has you wondering where the story is going.

Darcy and Pippa are home care nurses that have been hired to look after a wealthy woman who sadly had a life altering fall at home.

Her husband seems pleasant enough but from the beginning Darcy thinks there is something off with the whole situatiion.

Pippa does not.

Twists and turns that you wont see coming will have you reading the book in one sitting.

I thought I knew where Daniel Hurst was going with this but I was oh so wrong.

I will be first in line for Book 2 of The Perfect Nurse Series.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for a thrilling read.

I really liked Daniel Hurst's writing. It makes for a quick and easy read. The story line kept me guessing. There were many twists and turns! The amount of characters was good. It can be hard if the author uses too many characters and you have trouble keeping track of them. Daniel had just the right amount. The story hooked me from the beginning and then I did not want to put it down!

I really enjoyed this and flew through it. The twists and turns blew my mind!! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC!

The Perfect Nurse by Daniel Hurst is a pretty quick read that draws you in within the first few pages.

The Good: The characters! The likeable characters were indeed likeable, and the antagonists were vile (we LIKE vile villains-this is good!) The twists were twisty, and I love a good twisty twist!

The Bad: While not bad, the ending came in like a giant rollercoaster drop that was not a drop at all, it rolls fast and then kind of fell flat. We had all the buildup and then SPLAT-the end.

The Ugly: no ugly here!

4/5 stars for The Perfect Nurse. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-ARC!

This isn’t my first book by this author, but it may be my favorite. We follow Darcy, a in-home nurse, who struggles with sleep deprivation and it requires her co-worker to come to her house daily to make sure she arrives to work on time.
They are presented with a new case and something about it makes Darcy question things from the get go. Is her new patient being harmed by her husband, or was the cause of her injury truly an accident?

What follows next is mind bending twists and turns and you are taken on a WILD ride. This book did begin a little slow for me, but once I got into the story, I couldn’t read fast enough. I would definitely recommend this book to others!

I received a copy of this book for free and leave my review voluntarily.

Do we need another series from this brilliant author? Yes. I devoured this book; it was impossible to stop reading as the plot unraveled.

I figured out a part of this thriller before the big reveal, which never happens with a Daniel Hurst thriller. But I was utterly wrong about the second half of that twist. And wowza- did it slap me in the face!

I enjoyed that this story took place in America, and I love that the characters still had several British isims. It’s always interesting to see that representation through someone else’s lens.

This story starts with a bang and doesn’t slow down until the end. The plot continues to build at a rapidly terrifying pace- and then comes the free-fall plot twist that will leave you speechless!

I am ready for the second book to be available. I need to know what happens!

What a great read. Twists and turns every where. I saw none of them coming. Darcy is a nurse and goes to work with her partner Pippa for a couple and Darcyis sure something is wrong with them. People start breaking into her house and the police aren’t any help. What is she going to do! Read this book. Very good!

This was a great read. The book was very fast paced. It follows a nurse named Darcy who goes into patient’s homes to care for them. She ends up being assigned a woman with memory loss at a young age as a result of a fall. Darcy becomes suspicious of the woman’s husband and feels as though things are not as they seem. I did not guess the plot twist at all in this book and I loved every second of it. I love how it portrayed how difficulty brain injuries and memory loss is on both the individual suffering from it and their loved ones. Great quick and easy read!

3 stars. This is the first book in The Perfect Nurse Series. I had to read it because I knew this perfect nurse was not going to be so perfect. This is a difficult book to review, as there are so many twists, anything I say beyond the synopsis will give the entire book away.

Darcy and Pippa are nurses who work private duty. They are assigned to a very wealthy couple, Scarlet and Adrian. Scarlet had an accident and she sustained brain damage and Adrian cannot keep up with her care, thus the need for the nurses. Darcy gets a strange feeling about the couple and the house in general. She swears they're up to no good. However, when asked by Adrian, Darcy agrees to work the overnight shift and stay in the house.

This book was a bit strange as I could tell it was written by a British author but the story supposedly took place in Chicago. Certain phrases and words didn't match up. This is definiately going to need a book 2, as I don't really know what happened at the end. It was a good read. Not great, but good. I will definitely read the second book when it comes out.

Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for the ARC. I greatly appreciate it. I do recommend this book.

I have mixed feelings about this book... whilst ultimately enjoyable it had a few more plot twists than I would like.... I found it somewhat far fetched too...

I would however read other books from the same author!

WOW, my first book that Daniel Hurst has written but he was highly recommended by another author and I jumped when I seen this for an ARC and boy I am shocked but the best kind of shocked! It was absolutely amazing!

We follow Nurse Darcy as she takes on a new patient, a woman who has had an accident and has left her with none of her long term memory. From day one Darcy has felt something was off, with both her patient and her patients husband and the overall vibe. As Darcy looks into her patient she tries to get answers but gets more questions raised than answers until a major plot twist hits and she has to deal with it.

This book blew me away and I finished it in 24 hours, I couldn't put it down! However I felt the ending was very rushed and I think that more explaining/insight into what happened would have been good! But I have a feeling this might have a 2nd book in the future!

This was a fast-paced psychological thriller that has you on the edge of your seat and you might think you know the how the story will go but you will be so wrong!

Thank you to Daniel Hurst, Bookouture, and Netgalley for this ARC which I thoroughly enjoyed!

This was another great book by this author! I’ve read numerous ARCs for this author and I’ve enjoyed every single one! His writing style reminds me a lot of Freida McFadden so I got super excited when I got approved for this ARC. It has a great story line and keeps you wanting to read more and more! There are so many twists and some that I never saw coming as well! If you need a good psychological thriller/mystery I would highly recommend this book!

4🌟!! Okay this had me HOOKED!!!!!! Plot twist after plot twist after plot twist. I literally read this in one sitting I could not put it down. It was so fast paced and addictive. Honestly I couldn’t predict any of the twists and that had me on the edge of my seat. The writing was very easy to understand and flowed super well. The first 30ish% was a tad bit slower however after that the pacing was go go go and I loved that. I will say i’m not a huge fan of the ending it felt very rushed and abrupt within the last 10-15% and I feel like there were a few unanswered questions. Apart from that I really thoroughly enjoyed this and I highly recommend. Thank you to Daniel Hurst, Bookouture, and Netgalley for this ARC. The Perfect Nurse will be published on July 1st!!

Just love this author and think I’ve read all his books! Where do I start with the perfect nurse….. Absolutely fantastic, unputdownable… Kept me on the edge of my seat and then on the edge of my bed until late at night as I just could not put it down!!!… Perfect…

4⭐️ I enjoyed this fast paced thriller about a nurse who goes to work for a wealthy couple and starts to suspect there is something not quite right. But she doesn’t have any idea what is really happening and neither did I. I thought this was going to predictable but I was wrong. I did guess one part but it was almost 75% through at that point so I don’t feel like that really counts. This was well done! I enjoyed the plot line but I feel like I didn’t really get to know the characters very well. Other than that, I loved it!

Thank you to Net Galley, Daniel Hurst, and Bookouture for my advanced e-copy in exchange for my honest review!

A great read that does not disappoint.
A twisty thriller that I thought was going one way, but then completely changed direction
