"One small error can change everything, and sometimes the consequences are beyond what we can imagine."
I wish I had read the other two books before reading this one. I liked the story and the characters but I felt there were a lot of missing pieces that probably would have been clarified in the earlier books. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher this ARC book. This review is my honest opinion.
This is book 3 in the Nurses trilogy. It could work as a stand alone but I feel you get so much more out of it if you read all the books. This one starts off with Darcy and Pippa both on the run. It alternates between Darcy and Pippa's points of views. These two have a very strong connection and are both trying to protect the family. Darcy and Pippa are both nurses and have been trained to take care of people. Sometimes good people do bad things. How far would you go to protect your loved ones?
Darcy has always dreamed of being a nurse. She has made some mistakes and after her accident has amnesia. She is trying to remember her past and is now getting flashbacks of what happened before.
She is remembering what happened when she was a nursing student. She wants to be able to see justice served. Darcy has a plan to save her family. Sometimes good people do bad things. How far would you go to protect your loved ones?
I like that these are fast paced, action packed thrillers.
This is the best of the 3, in Daniel Hurst’s ‘The Perfect Nurse’ series. I like how Daniel Hurst writes. Two POVs, short, suspenseful chapters, and intrigue kept me flying through the pages. My eyes couldn’t seem to scan the words fast enough. The Nurse’s Mistake can be read as a stand alone but reading the previous 2 instalments makes it so much better.
Thank You to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Daniel Hurst for the opportunity to read and thoroughly enjoy this ARC.
This was such an action/drama/mystery packed ending to the nurse series. I could not put it down once I started reading. It was also a very quick and easy read. Definitely read this if you’ve read the other books in this series!
I’ve read this entire series now and have to say, book three is my favorite. Nonstop action and unexpected twists had me getting through this one in just two days.
It’s not a standalone, as there are several storylines that are woven through all three books in the series so far. Darcy and Pippa are quite the sisterly duo!
Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Daniel Hurst for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of The Nurse’s Mistake.
In this thrilling third installment of The Perfect Nurse series, Daniel Hurst delivers yet another heart-pounding and dramatic read that doesn’t disappoint. If you’re new to the series, it’s worth starting with The Perfect Nurse and The Nurse's Lie for the full emotional impact and complex backstory that fuels Darcy and Pippa’s journey.
This time around, Darcy, a nurse suffering from amnesia after a tragic car accident, is in a high-stakes race to return to Chicago and reconnect with her family. Her notebook serves as her sole compass, detailing her family members and the rules meant to keep her safe: "Don’t watch the news" and "Never go home." Unbeknownst to Darcy, her sister Pippa and the rest of the family are hiding out after committing their own desperate acts to protect Darcy’s secret.
Hurst’s writing shines through his portrayal of Darcy and Pippa—two sisters caught in the fallout of one “mistake” after another. The book alternates between their points of view, adding depth and suspense as secrets unravel and the stakes rise. The tension never lets up, pulling readers deeper into the mystery of just how far this family will go to protect one another.
Packed with twists, suspense, and characters you can’t help but root for, The Nurse's Mistake is a must-read for anyone who loves psychological thrillers with a strong emotional core. Daniel Hurst has masterfully crafted a thrilling conclusion to this series, yet it leaves you hoping there’s more to come.
Highly recommended!
I love how each chapter is only one of the characters. I love how the story blends together but is still separated enough to keep you reading so u can find out what happens next! At the end of this book, I feel like there could be another taking place in the prison?!?! Can't wait to read more of your books.
Thank you to @netgalley for the ARC of the 3rd installment to The Perfect Nurse series! First of all, I’d definitely recommend reading the first 2 books in this series before this one. It gives you a backstory and it’s easier to follow along with everything that happens if you read in order. It is a Dual POV by both sisters, Pippa and Darcy and pick up where the last book left off perfectly! This was such a fast paced, thrilling and just all around rollercoaster fun read! The twists and turns just kept me wanting to read! I got through this book so fast and, once again, Daniel Hurst does NOT disappoint!
Daniel Hurst has done it again! Another gripping, thrilling and dramatic book in his "The Perfect Nurse" series. If you have not read the previous books in the series, The Perfect Nurse and The Nurse's Lie, I highly recommend you do so. As with this book, they are addictive, riveting, fun, entertaining and tense page turners! With books in a series, I always like to share if I think the book will work as a stand-alone. I believe readers should read the previous books in this series as there is so much backstory, character development and continuation of plot that needs to be known so that one can fully enjoy and appreciate The Nurse's Mistake. Plus, they are both very fast and fabulous reads!
Darcy has always wanted to be a nurse and as a child she and her sister, Pippa pretended to be nurses to their stuffed animals and dolls. As a nurse, Darcy has made mistakes - some bigger than others. She also suffers from Amnesia because of an accident which affects her interactions and life as well.
The Nurse's Mistake picks up where the previous book left off and we find both Darcy, her sister Pippa, their parents and Pippa's husband and child hiding from the law. Things are tense and they find themselves in dangerous situations. I found this book to be thrilling, exciting, well thought out, dramatic and riveting. I didn't want to put this book down and the action was non-stop, and things kept getting more tense as the book progressed.
What happens when good people do bad things? How far will one go to protect a loved one? What sacrifices will people make for their families? This book examines all those questions and then some! Daniel Hurst does a great job of creating characters that readers care about even when those characters do bad things. He is also skilled at creating tension, dread, danger, and a sense of unease in his books. I found my heart beating a little faster toward the end of the book as things began to come to a close in this book.
Whew! Another thrilling roller coaster ride book from Daniel Hurst!
Many thanks to netgalley, the author and bookouture for approving my request to read this book.
The Nurses Mistake is the 3rd book of this series and picks up nicely from where the previous book ended.
Once again we follow sisters Darcy and Pippa and this time both are on the run as well as the rest of their family but can they truly outrun what's coming for them?
I enjoyed this book and found this installment of the series saw a much more emotional side of the original book with us seeing just how far the love for peoples family reaches.
I would definitely recommend this series.
In what appears to be the conclusion to the nurses’ series by Daniel Hurst; Darcy and Pippa are back in situations where they must kill or be killed. The way they keep ignoring danger signals and finding trouble can be frustrating at times, but it’s also what makes the story a quick, fun, enjoyable and thrilling read! Reading about Darcy’s experience to right an old wrong, while the rest of the family were on the run, was an interesting perspective! Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for my ARC in exchange for this review.
I would like to start off by thanking Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC of The Nurses Mistake (Prefect Nurse Book 3).
What I love the most about this series from Daniel Hurst is how fast paced they are. I absolutely loved the first one, the second one was ok and with this third one I thought was phenomenal!
I loved the dual POVs and the how the characters intertwined. I always find myself rooting for the sisters despite all the wrong things they do.
I definitely would recommend this book to anyone who likes a fast paced thriller.
A great thriller! Fast paced and exciting. I loved all the books in the nurse series, but this one was no-stop action. I was on the edge of my seat at the end of each chapter. I feel like the series wrapped up with a bang!
This fast-paced thriller is the continuing, twisted story of Darcy, the killer nurse, and her family. The story was told by Darcy and her sister Pippa, who are both nurses. Darcy, having amnesia from a car accident, doesn't remember what she has or hasn't done but knows she must flee from authorities so she can figure out who really killed her friend. Fleeing Florida to find her family, Darcy arrives at her family's house and finds out they are not there. She doesn't know what to do next or who she can trust, but her memories are slowly creeping back. But will she remember soon enough to find her family and escape the authorities? There are many twists and turns throughout the book that I enjoyed because they were unexpected, and they slowly uncover her hidden memories and why she had to remain on the run. A riveting, hard to put down sequel in the Nurse's series of books.
I would like to start off by thanking Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC of The Nurses Mistake (The Perfect Nurse Book Number Three).
This was my first series of books that I have read from Daniel Hurst after hearing nothing but amazing things about his writing from a friend (Shay!). This is a very fast-paced series that sucks you in from the start. Typically, with a series, I find that I'll love the first book and lose interest during the second or third book. That is not the case with this series! Book one is all from Darcy's POV, I love that books two and three alternate between Darcy and Pippa's POV's to really keep the reader on the edge of their seat and keep them captivated from start to finish.
Darcy was once a nurse prior to experiencing a car accident and being diagnosed with amnesia as the result of her accident. In the previous book, Darcy killed someone from her past in self-defense to save herself. With Darcy's amnesia and short-term memory loss, her younger sister Pippa was worried that Darcy would be arrested for the crime. Pippa helped Darcy get away and Darcy started fresh in Florida with no memory of her past and only a notebook from her sister with pictures, names, and her relation to her mother, Scarlett, her father, Adrian, and her sister, Pippa. This notebook included two important "rules." 1: Don't watch the news. 2: Never return home to Chicago.
When things go awry with Darcy's new life in Florida, she decides it is time to return home and find her family at last. What she doesn't realize is that her sister, Pippa, has committed a crime to protect Darcy's secret and her entire family is on the run and hiding out at a cabin five hours away from their homes in Chicago.
In this book (and the entire series), you will find it is packed full of twists and turns, not knowing who can be trusted, and as with every good thriller, murder.
How far would you be willing to go to protect your family? Read this series to find out just how far this family is willing to go to protect their secrets.
The Nurse's Mistake by Daniel Hurst is the third book of The Perfect Nurse series, though I think that it could be easily enjoyed as a standalone novel.
Sisters Darcy and Pippa are on the run. Darcy is alone in Chicago trying to recover pieces of her memory that have been lost, while Pippa seeks refuge in a remote cabin with her parents, husband, and young son, Both are in danger, and desperate not only for answers, but to find their way back to one another.
Having read the first two books of the series, I was more fully invested in this one than perhaps someone who is only meeting these characters for the first time. Did the author leave an opening for a fourth installment of this compelling series? You will have to read it to find out.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.
kinda meh thriller, it doesn't seem to have much passion or emotion put into it. it might be better if i had read the previous two, so if you have and like it don't let me warn you off. But i found it meh. 3 stars. Tysm for the arc, might not recommend.
My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘The Nurse’s Mistake’, The Perfect Nurse Book 3 written by Daniel Hurst, in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Following a car accident Darcy Miller has had limited memory of past events and relies on a notebook given to her by sister Pippa to remind her of family members. The third part of this series starts with Darcy as she travels on a bus across the country to Winnetka, Chicago, to her family’s home, all the time trying to avoid the police. But they no longer live there as Darcy’s notoriety has forced them to run, but they’re still determined to somehow find Darcy and protect her.
I’m a big fan of Daniel Hurst’s novels and have been looking forward to continuing the story of nurses Darcy and Pippa. ‘The Nurse’s Mistake’ is told through the eyes of the two sisters and although it’s kept me gripped, it’s so far-fetched it’s lost some of its credibility. There’s plenty of suspense, drama and twists I didn’t see coming, and the tension steadily increases the further I read, but it’s so unbelievable with Darcy especially taking unimaginable risks that I don’t think could possibly happen in real life. But despite this, I’ve still enjoyed finding out how things end for Darcy in particular, and it’s still an exciting well-written thriller that the author’s fans are sure to love as much as I have.
