I loved listening to My Daughter's Revenge by Natali Simmonds and narrated by Izzy Meikle-Small and Claire Storey
It was a totally gripping psychological thriller packed with nail-biting twists throughout. This audiobook kept me up to the early hours of the morning! I was hooked from the beginning till the end.

The narrators Izzy Meikle-Small and Claire Storey were superb and made this book come alive.

I highly recommend this book......Excellent read!

Big Thank you to NetGalley and especially Bookouture audio for my ARC.

I want to thank Netgalley, Natali Simmonds and Bookouture for a chance to read My Daughters Revenge. The main Character is someone who could be anyone's daughter. It is a excellent story. I couldn't put the book down. If you are looking for a book that captures you from the beginning till the end. It is a must read.

Oh So Clever!!!

Thank you NetGallary for an early review copy of My Daughters Revenge!

I absolutely Loved this book! Full of twists and turns and hold your breath and edge of your seat moments!

This book is well written and oh so clever! Great thriller with dark elements and steam!

I must admit I didn’t see the twists coming. This was an amazing read that I could not put down.

This is a great thriller!

No spoilers with my review.

Overall I give this book 4 golden stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WHOA! This book was SO good! I loved every second of this wild ride. Simmonds is a new to me author, and this book definitely did not disappoint. This book blew my mind! This story is told from dual POVs - Jules and her 16 year old daughter Leah.

Simmonds writing style had me immersed in this one as the plot developed in such a suspenseful way. The sense of foreboding was so prevalent. There are multiple characters that play roles in this story, but the important ones were very well developed. Secrets, lies, deceit, and manipulation are the key themes in this intense thriller. I didn’t expect any of the things that happened in this book. I was shocked. The ending was AMAZING!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for introducing me to this author and for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this twisty read that was full of horrible characters. The story primarily focuses on mother Jules and teenage daughter Leah, both who are struggling. Jules is feeling impotent at work and is worried her husband is cheating on her. Leah is just a spoiled brat who is used to getting her own way and tends to be obsessive over boys.

It is hard to root for either one of these characters but somehow the author has managed to make me do just that by introducing even more horrible characters that we can all hate together! I found Jules to be super annoying, constantly whining about her age and her weight and any number of things that were all in her own head, not to mention the horrible invasion of Leah’s privacy when she starts trying to figure out what Leah is actually involved in. I am hopeful that Leah just needs to grow up, and perhaps the sobering experience from what happens in the book will help her do so. Despite my disconnection with the characters, I did really enjoy the story itself, as it was fast paced and included a surprise twist. I really liked the way it all wrapped up after everything was said and done.

Overall, this was a fast paced and twisty read that you’ll like unless you are put off by unlikable main characters. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Jules feels old and past it. Her husband shows no interest in her and her children are ready to fly the nest. She is particularly worried about her daughter Leah who is emotionally vulnerable after a bad break up. Leah is on the look out for a new boyfriend...
My Daughter’s Revenge is a family drama and psychological thriller set in the UK.
Jules joins an app to get some positive interactions as she feels low and unloved. A few flirty comments to bolster her ego is all she wants but she feels guilty that she can't reach her husband emotionally. Leah is also looking for validation from a man but her latest brief relationship with Dylan is destroyed when he discovers she has lied about her age.
The book is written from the first person perspectives of both Jules and Leah. Both characters are vivdly depicted and their voices are unique and distinct from each other. Jules is sad as she feels her love is not reciprocated by her husband. Leah's voice is very immature and selfish. She is slightly reckless and her behaviour becomes obsessive when Dylan rejects her.
As a woman in my 40s, I could identify with Jules' preoccupation with negative comparisons and the feeling of lost youth. Meanwhile as a mother of a daughter, it felt very powerful to be reminded of the teenage years and the danger of hormones going haywire (although I also think Leah has significant mental health needs) although I could understand Leah's desire for independence.
Both women's characters inspire pity because they are so unhappy. Initially I also felt really sorry for Dylan. Leah lied to him and then becomes obsessed, putting his job in danger. My sympathy waned at the way he behaves later in the book. There is a lot of build up in the book which slows the pace but allows us to fully understand Jules and Leah. There were twists until the very last page.
My Daughter’s Revenge is an emotionally charged psychological thriller with strong narration.

This book really suprised me. Loved it, but then again I do love a dysfunctional family story. This book has a strong theme of obsession. Hope you like it as much as I did.

An ok read , told from the POV Of Jules ( the mother) and Leah ( her daughter) . I found the first 2/3 of the book really slow and was getting irritated with Jules as she just seemed to be having a pity party up until near the end of the book. The ending was good but just found it very slow paced in places.

First time reading anything by this author and I am hooked! Love the easy writing style and it all flows so smoothly. The amount of suspense is next level in the best way possible. Love the ending - did not predict it at all! Can not wait to read more by this author.

A disturbing domestic thriller, My Daughter's Revenge starts with news of a dead body. The story then goes back four weeks to lead the reader up to the discovery. Just who is guilty of the crime?

Packed full of unlikeable characters, from mum Jules who is questioning her job and family life, to daughter Leah who is obsessed with losing her virginity, the book is fast flowing and easy to read. Lots of twists and turns leave the reader guessing - with a revelations at the end that left me open mouthed!

A great read, I look forward to the next book by this author.

To say I enjoyed this book would be an understatement. I loved it. I think I was wrong on every single guess I made. And I don't think that has ever happened before. Barely getting one right, maybe. I could easily relate to Jules and even Leah at times, though there was an underlying crazy there that kept me at arm's length. I love how much Simmonds's personality shows through in her writing as well. Sometimes in small quips. But there are also some good insights into being a parent and handling your kids growing up. Some of which I hope to remember in the future. I can not put into words well enough how much I loved this book. Same with Good Girls Die Last, I just really really enjoyed it and I can't wait for her next book. I think I heard a rumor sometime next year, but that is unconfirmed. I may be mixing Simmonds up with someone else.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author via Netgalley and Bookouture in exchange for an honest review.

"My Daughter's Revenge" captivated me with its abundance of secrets and lies, culminating in an unforeseen and startling conclusion that I did not see coming.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

Jules’ family is a mess, a dysfunctional mess. Jules is a mess. Jules’ life is a mess and it’s going to get much worse before it gets better!!! She’s doing what she can to hold her life together but external factors are not helping!!!
I had real mixed emotions for daughter Leah. She’s desperate to be an adult and have a grown up relationship but her maturity isn’t quite there and she’s an obsessive teen. Borderline psychotic with it! She’s so wrapped up in her obsession she doesn’t see what she’s doing to those around her. I wanted to slap her, shake her and then hug her and convince her she had to much time to get serious with a boy. Oh to be a mixed up 17 year old!! Thank you but no!!

I loved the way Simmonds switched perspectives on me but without pattern. I’d get a couple of chapters from Jules and then Leah would tell her story before Jules would briefly return – you get the idea. I was kept on my toes looking one way before being distracted elsewhere. It made for a tense path to follow and bejeezus the final few chapters, just when I thought it would end one way, the narrative twisted and then twisted again with a 💥 to finish!!!

My Daughter’s Revenge is a cracking thriller. Simmonds gave me shocker after shocker throughout the book which led me a right merry dance. I read Good Girls Die Last which was brilliant but this is a very different read. Different in a good way. Blooming loved it!!

This was wild! I was hooked from the very first few pages and blown away. This book had very relatable characters makes a person ask " How far would you go for your Daughter or Son " This had , lots of twists and turns, and an ending that had me shocked Can't wait to read more from this Author.

Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture Audio and Natali Simmonds for the Audio Arc of My Daughter's Revenge
Narrated by Izzy Meikle-Small, Claire Storey.

My Daughter's Revenge is a medium/fast psychological domestic thriller from 2 female POV. Mother Jules and Daughter, Leah. What drew me through this book was the dynamics between the family members and the obvious indignation of the daughter and how she is treated. Even though I wasn't keen on these two characters, I hugely empathised with them both. The Mother who was overprotective but felt invisible and the daughter who felt suffocated. The plot line and the direction this book took was compelling and some nice twists occurred, with a great satisfying payoff at the end.

Narrated by Izzy Meikle-Small, Claire Storey, these two ladies did a great job with both the POV of the Mother and Daughter, but also the male voices of the other characters,

4.5 stars for Storygraph, rounded to 5 for Amazon, Goodreads and Netgalley

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Jules is trapped in her marriage, feeling unloved by her husband. She downloads an app and confesses all her feelings to a stranger.
Leah is 17, and desperate to be loved. At a festival she meets the man of her dreams. A white lie about her age comes back to haunt her a week later.

I enjoyed this. If you are uncomfortable with sex scenes I’d avoid. They were appropriate to the storyline and not just for effect. The characters and family dynamic was all very real in this. The emotion was raw and I empathised with Jules. Most of the story chugged along with alternating Jules and Leah chapters. While entertaining, nothing too dramatic happened. That is until the final shocking twist (or two!). Wow. These truly took the book from a good story to an OMG must read!

Really enjoyed this book. The story was told from the perspectives of the mother and the daughter.

I found myself relating so much to the mother. As a mother myself, I have experienced that whole sense of losing my identity and not knowing who I am or who I want to be anymore.

The twists and turns in this story was just pure genius. The story panned out well, building up a good story and development of characters. But toward the end was when I felt like my head was being spun around continuously with twists. Really enjoyed.

This was an addicting read about obsession, betrayal, and the inner turmoil of aging. While each character was unlikable, it made the story more intriguing and made the reader question what poor decision they would make next. The main protagonist was a little too "poor me" to the point that I started losing sympathy for her. I felt a little thrown by the twist and felt it was there for mere shock factor, which I am not the biggest fan of. Overall, I did enjoy most of this one and found it highly addicting and hard to put down. Three and half stars.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC.

Wow what an amazing read! Thrilling and absolutely addictive. Loved this one SO much. Brilliant. Just wow!

The news has reported a man’s suicide, but both Jules and Leah no better. 
But Jules is feeling unappreciated in her personal and professional life, while Leah is feeling like her family does not listen, but a set of events will lead to a catastrophic outcome. 

This novel is written from a dual point of view between Jules and Leah. I liked how we had both sides to this novel and how both characters were completely flawed and not very likeable. 

Several themes run through this novel, such as lies, trust, and secrets, giving this novel a fast pace, you can’t help but read on. 

This was a great read with explosive twists I didn’t see coming.
