As a huge Daniel Hurst fan, I was so excited to be able to read this “box set” especially since these were 4 stories I hadn’t read by him yet!

If you like quick paced thrillers that are refreshing and twisty, I can’t recommend Daniel enough. The writing style is similar to Frieda, but across the pond!

I love all of Daniel Hurst's books and they never disappoint. Always an edge of your seat list of psychological thrillers that he has. I can never predict the end. His books are so addictive and great that I always feel like can't there be a book 2 of the current book. I'm always looking forward to his next book. I am for sure a big fan of his books.. Thank you so much for the ARC.

A thrilling boxset with four fantastic novels by Daniel Hurst. The Passenger, The Break, The Boyfriend and The New Friends were all riveting books that kept you on the edge of your seat. They were filled with twists and unreliable characters. I kept guessing and guessing but continued to be surprised by them. Great thrillers!

Okay, so, I got this bunch of stories. I'd only seen one before. Turns out, they were really good! Even the one I'd read already was better the second time. If you like stories that mess with your head, you'll like this.

Thanks to the people who let me read it early, so I could tell you what I thought.

Daniel Hurst is becoming one of my favorites! I have downloaded several of his books already to my kindle. Can’t wait to read them. They are such page turners.

This is a great collection of psychological thriller stories. My favourite is The Passenger. I still can't wrap my head around the plot and the ending. I was actually having palpitations. The Break, The Boyfriend and The New Friends were engrossing as well. I started off 2025 with a great collection. Difficult to beat this again!

What a great collection this turned out to be, especially as I'd only read previously one of the four. No worries there though as I enjoyed it more second time around. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to readers of psychological fiction.

My thanks to NetGalley, and publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review

This was such a treat! Having four fantastic books to read in one go! Loved all four stories and the best thing was that it did not seem like I was reading similar stories. Absolutely loved them!

Daniel Hurst books are always great and four in a box set is even better. This author never writes a bad book and I loved each of these four stories. Well worth a read.
Many thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read these ARCs

Thank you, Netgalley and Inkubator Books for this ARC. After reading The Perfect Nurse Series by Daniel Hurst, I was hooked on his books! They're very fast-paced, captivating, and have tons of twists and turns. This box set included the four books mentioned below.

1. The Passenger: Amanda is a single mom who has a strained relationship with her teenage daughter. She meets a stranger on her daily commuter train from the city, and the man threatens the lives of her and her daughter if she doesn't give up the combination to her safe.

2. The Break: Karen has been struggling mentally from being overwhelmed with her two sons and her husband, and she needs a break. A friend suggested a local vacation home to Karen for a few nights away from her family in hopes it will help Karen relax and unwind. But there's a dark secret about the vacation home.

3. The Boyfriend: Adele is happily engaged to Tom and diving into wedding planning when something strange begins to happen. Her ex boyfriends are all turning up dead within a few days of each other. Adele worries for her and her fiancé and tries to solve the mystery.

4. New Friends: Becky and Jamie are struggling financially and trying to plan for having a baby. They decide to take a short trip to Spain for a few days and stick to a strict budget. On their last night, they met a couple, Phil and Mel, who are close to them in age but are retired due to 'good investments'. But are Phil and Mel really who they say they are?

This Thriller Box Set is every reader’s dream. It contains full length novels: The Passenger, The Break, The Boyfriend, and The New Friends.

Review for The Passenger: Amanda does not want to commute on the London train anymore. Amanda wants to be a writer. Amanda wants to quit her job and pursue her dream. Amanda saves up money. Amanda also kills a man. She won’t be backed into a corner. She will protect herself and her daughter at all costs. I enjoyed this edge of-your-seat novel and looked forward to every moment I could read a bit more.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this collection in exchange for my honest review.

Looking for a binge-worthy read? This collection is *perfect* for fans of domestic suspense—or for anyone ready to discover Daniel Hurst’s gripping storytelling for the first time! With short, punchy chapters packed with tension and twists, all four stories had me hooked from start to finish. While marketed as thrillers, I’d personally call them domestic suspense, with plenty of relatable drama.

*The Passenger – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My favorite of the set! This one had me glued to the pages with its rich character development and high-stakes plot. The story of a woman determined to escape her 9-to-5 grind to chase her dream of becoming a writer is both inspiring and chilling. A must-read!

*The Break – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A tale of betrayal, second chances, and survival. Karen’s attempt to heal from her husband’s infidelity takes a dark turn during a much-needed getaway. The suspense builds steadily, and the ending left me reeling.

*The Boyfriend – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Adele finally finds her “forever” partner—until her exes start dropping dead. This story was wild, twisty, and full of surprises.

*New Friends – ⭐⭐⭐
This one had an intriguing premise—a struggling couple meets a seemingly perfect pair on vacation—but it didn’t quite pack the same punch as the others. Still, the themes of envy and betrayal made for a solid, but slightly predictable, read.

This box set is a fantastic gift for yourself or the thriller lover in your life. With accessible, fast-paced chapters and compelling domestic drama, it’s the kind of collection you’ll want to binge.
