This was a great sequel to The Perfect Nurse. It was fast paced and I didn’t want to stop reading. It was good to find out more about Pippa and Darcy and what happened after Laurence died.

Darcy was working for Parker- she was caring for his dad who had dementia and she had a crush on Parker. She had no memory of her accident or Laurence’s death and she still didn’t remember her parents or her sister Pippa. Pippa wrote their names down and her parents address in a notebook and gave it to Darcy before she left. Parker’s father Joe kept warning Darcy off Parker and told her he wasn’t a nice man. Darcy followed Parker home one night and the outcome was disastrous.

Pippa was trying to hold things together for the sake of her son and husband while trying to support her parents who were sad to have lost Darcy again. Things got even worse when Eden turned up looking for Darcy and wanting to know where Laurence was. Pippa was in despair and rapidly things spiralled completely out of control.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.

This book is number 2 in the Perfect Nurse series. I suggest you read the 1st book as you might get confused. I love Daniel's books, and I certainly wasnt disappointed with this one. Cant wait for number 3 to come out.

I was so excited to read the sequel to The Perfect Nurse- I absolutely LOVED it. However, this book fell flat for me.

I felt like it was slow, lacked character development, and was just meh.

I will continue to read books by this author, but this one is my least favorite of the ones I hav read so far.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC

Fast read, fun and light thriller. I would recommend the read, with no other expectations. I'm guessing that if I had read the first book of the series it would have made much more sense and been more fun, but, I'm not that intrigued as to actually read it.

However, so many things happen at the same time, so many coincidences, how are they going to get away with it? intriguing and am not sure if believable.

I love Daniels books, and read the first of these 2 books but this one just didn't do it for me. For me, it just felt too unrealistic, no real depth to the story and an ending that was just too quick and brief. Having said that, it does leave plenty of scope for a follow on.

Will certainly not put me off reading further books by this author though.

Wow! He has done it again!!!! This world, these characters… HAVE ALL OF MY ATTENTION.
I was thrilled to see POV from both sisters! How engaging… then the character depth of what each girl was struggling with… I could feel it! That ending brought shock value for sure but I still loved book 1 more! Hahaha
I am really enjoying this author and I can’t wait for the third installment!

I was drawn into the The Perfect Nurse series with book 1 & was excited for its follow-up! I always love to read a series by Daniel Hurst. He’s a talented psychological thriller author that didn’t disappoint with his latest.

Thank you, Daniel Hurst, Bookouture, & netgalley for my early copy! All opinions are my own.

Rating: 4.5 stars!

What a perfectly wild way to continue this storyline! Like with the first book in the series, it gives Freida McFadden vibes with the twist and turns. The final chapter had me screaming. I cannot wait for the third (and final?) book of the series!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

While on vacation (just getting around to posting the review!!) I finished the The Nurse’s Lie by Daniel Hurst, and like, can I just say, I totally should’ve read the first book! I mean, don’t get me wrong, it was fine as a standalone—like, it totally catches you up on what went down before—but I have this nagging FOMO that I missed out on some serious character bonding. You know what I mean?

So, the plot? LOVED it. It was super different and kept me on my toes the whole time. I’m always down for a story that isn’t just a carbon copy of everything else out there, and this one totally delivered. The twists and turns had me like, “Wait, WHAT?!” All the stuff I love!

As for the characters... meh, they were okay. Maybe if I had read the first book, I’d be more obsessed with the main two, but as it stands, I wasn’t completely hooked on them. Like, they were fine, but they didn’t give me that, “I’m totally invested in your life” vibe. Also hated their parents….

Oh, and this was my first time reading anything by Daniel Hurst, and honestly, his writing style gave me major Frieda McFadden vibes. So you know I’m already eyeing his *Doctor’s Wife* series! Next time, though, I’ll be starting from the beginning, because lesson learned, LOL.

Four stars from me! If you’re into thrillers with a fresh plot, def give this one a shot—just maybe start with the first book, unlike me!

The Nurse's Lie by Daniel Hurst is the second book in the excellent The Perfect Nurse series and what a cracking read this was. I just knew, if I start this book my kindle would be stuck to my hand........and it was!!!! This book was excellent, it was full of lies and secrets, with great twists and turns throughout that will have you turning your pages over quickly to find out what happens next.

This book can be read this as a standalone, but I do recommend you go back and read book one.......You will learn more about the characters especially the main character Darcy, who I love!

I highly recommend this book! Excellent read.

Big Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

I hadn't read the first of these books so off I trotted to Amazon to download the kindle edition and I'm so glad I did. The 2nd book carries on the story from the 1st. I'm not sure I would have fully understood the 2nd book had I not read the first one.

The stories are quite similar in what happens but the writing flows quite nicely. I liked this book but I didn't love it hence 3 stars.

This is a follow on to the first book and I’d say you do really need to have read book 1 first otherwise this could be really confusing, purely because it’s such a close follow up of the storyline.

It had short, snappy chapters which made the book easy to read but it just fell a little short for me, I think some of the scenarios were a bit far fetched and I couldn’t see it actually happening… which tbh is a good thing I guess!

Overall this was ok, definitely wasn’t a bad book and I know other people who have read it and loved it so I wouldn’t take this off your list as just because it didn’t hit the spot for me doesn’t me you’ll feel the same!

The book has ended on a cliffhanger! I am left hanging in suspense! What do I do now? Wow! Loved the book! Gripping, suspense, I am still at the edge of my seat. Cannot wait for the next book to see Darcy's next move. Loved, loved Darcy! Her circumstances have made her a killer, but I would see her as being more of a vigilante, since she acts in self-defense and she is the defender of the innocent and protector of her family. Daniel Hurst lets the reader get inside the protagonist's head, especially with Pippa. Oh my goodness, I was holding my breath when she described all her suspenseful, stressful moments. Everything felt so real and not at all like fiction, the way the author describes the experiences, stresses and strains of all the characters. I would for sure be recommending this book. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC.

The Nurse's Lie is the second instalment in the Perfect Nurse series by Daniel Hurst continuing to follow Darcy in her new life far away from her family. In this new role, Darcy is asked to care for an older man who is slowly losing his memory, however, the occasional unsettling remarks he makes lead Darcy to question her new employer and his intentions. Her suspicions are confirmed when she follows him home one evening that she truly finds out what he is up to.

While I found the first book in this series to be more engaging, The Nurse's Lie still presents a well crafted narrative. The plot felt somewhat repetitive at times, yet it effectively maintained my interest given my investment in Darcy's character. The story continues to offer intrigue and suspense, making it a worthwhile read for those who enjoyed the first of the series and are eager to see what unfolds next.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

The Nurse's Lie is book 2 in The Perfect Nurse series.

A great sequel. It has everything I've come to expect from Hurst.

Lots of twists and turns, suspense and a few surprises.

I loved that the character of Joe wasn't portrayed as a worthless old man with dementia. His condition was told respectfully and he added depth to the story.

Can't wait to see what comes next!

Thanks to netgalley and Bookouture for the arc.

This is the second book in The Perfect Nurse series. Pippa is still in Chicago, while Darcy is living in Florida. When Darcy escapes danger in Florida, she senses that Pippa is also in danger. She goes back to Chicago, but the police are looking for her. Will her and her family be safe?

A great sequel to The Perfect Nurse. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for my honest review.

I finished book 1 of this series about 2 months ago, and I was utterly shocked when I found out book 2 was going to be released on Aug 1st. Book 2 left me jaw dropped! If this pattern of release dates is any indication of possibly book 3 being released on Sep 1st, I am HERE for it! I figured it was going to be a series but did not anticipate it being released so close together, and I love it!

Book 2 follows the same 4 main characters in a twist of lies and family drama with a big touch of family support along the way.

This one was just okay for me. I do appreciate the ARC, but this one just seemed to drag. Some of the writing in this book is not the way people from Chicago speak and some geography is off. Not a big deal but it bugged me being from Chicago.

I really enjoyed this story and I loved how it carried on from “The Perfect Nurse”, continuing with the same fast pace. I really enjoyed the dual chapters in this book, switching between sisters Darcy and Pippa. This was a very clever way of doing the dual POV as I would get to the end of a chapter from Darcy, and immediately need to know what happened next with her, so I would blitz through Pippa’s chapter to get back to Darcy and vice versa! This meant I was reading for longer than I had planned in the evenings as I just couldn’t put the book down! Very talented writing.

The one bone I have to pick is the CLIFF HANGER !!

I need book 3 immediately!

I loved reading this book. I didn't read book 1 but yet it was easy to digest. It's a mild thriller. Definitely re reading again
