as in true Daniel Hurst fashion I didn't see any of the twist and turns coming. just when you think you're on one characters side, a total curve ball is thrown and completely changes it all. this book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time

WOW! This book takes off at the very beginning and doesn’t stop until the very end. Daniel Hurst is an excellent author that knows how to capture your attention right away and includes twists perfectly. I also liked the fact that the topic was something different than the usual thrillers.

Two baby boys born on the same day, two mothers that have a history that is less than stellar…what could go wrong? Meet Avril and Jade…two women with a past that just couldn’t stay in the past for one of them. Is swapping babies with your greatest enemy the ultimate payback?

Thank you, Bookouture, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This was an amazingly well written story of swapped babies and revenge and plot twists that I thought I had figured out but hadn’t.
Well written characters and an storyline that kept me gripped and involved from start to finish. This was one of those books that consumed the whole afternoon being read in one sitting from start to finish. First for me from this author but it definitely will not be my last. Love finding a new writer to add to my ever growing list and this one is straight on there.
If you love a good jeep you on your toes read then don’t over look this one or you will be missing out. Just excellent!

I just know once I start a book by Daniel Hurst that I will finish it within a few hours. The Baby Swap was no exception. When 2 babies are swapped at birth, it was shocking , but I had to know the reason behind it. What follows is a tense and suspenseful read . I raced through the pages wanting to know the outcome. As with all this authors books there is the inevitable plot twist. In this book, the plot twist was on another level!

This book was swapped at birth with a twist at the end I never saw coming. The characters, the storyline and the events consumed me and just when I thought I figured out one part, here came another twist. This was very well written and kept my attention no problem. Highly recommend if you enjoy a good thrill

This via my first read by Daniel Hurst and it definitely won't be the last ..what a book! Based on 3 characters who's lives are intertwined from many years ago. This is a story of revenge. It's full of twists and turns right up to the last page when we find one final twist.
Excellent.

Loved this book. At times it was a bit farfetched. But the over all story was well written overall and kept me engaged. The ending was shocking, not what I expected at all.

Ruthless. Two can definitely play the game. Avril is horrible to Jade but Jade does the unforgivable. Stealing Avril's baby! But did anyone see that ending coming?! Definitely not me!

Book 24 of Daniel’s, making my way slowly through them all! I felt like I was reading this and waiting for the usual twist, it was a little disappointing that it didn’t come before the epilogue but a great twist nonetheless! As usual I love how Daniel writes, capturing you from the first few pages and making you need to know what happens! If there were no other books left I’d be happy only reading his work! This was told from a dual POV, Jade and Avril, but a mixture of past and present, a dual POV is a highlight for me. Good character depth, I disliked Avril but she was written well! Lovely chapter length as usual, can’t beat a short, snappy chapter! Overall.. great read but not my favourite from Daniel! Would still recommend though.

This book follows two women, Avril and Jade, who give birth to their baby boys on the same day, in the same hospital, and end up in the beds next to each other. But of course it isn’t that simple, the two women knew each other in their past and we are taken on a rollercoaster of a read whilst we find out how their paths crossed previously.

I really liked the way that the book switched from the POV of the two main characters, and told you their experiences from their own perspective. We see the choices that both individuals made in previous years that have contributed to where they have ended up today, in the middle of a baby swap that only one of the characters is aware of.

This was a fast paced, easy read thriller that constantly left me wanting to read on. I did find myself questioning when, and if, a twist was going to be revealed as the end was closing in, but it certainly did not disappoint. This is the second book that I’ve read by Daniel Hurst, and it lived up to the high expectations that I had. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC, I highly recommend!

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the advanced digital copy. I love to be one of the first to read Daniel Hurst's newest releases! I have been a fan for a few years now!
Release date is set for: February 19, 2025

Someone stole my little boy. I’ll do whatever it takes to get him back…
Staring down at the sweet baby in my arms, I feel panic instead of love. Because this isn’t the child I gave birth to. My husband whispers to the midwife. They all think I’m going crazy. But the tiny boy in my arms is crying again. I’m he knows I’m not his mummy. And I’ll do whatever it takes to get my son back.
I did it. I swapped my baby with another newborn in the hospital. As I hold the child in my arms, I hear my own little boy start to cry on the other side of the curtain. My heart is shattering into a million pieces.

This book hooks you from the prologue and keeps you guessing until the epilogue The Baby Swap definitely had sequel vibes to it. 🤔😍

🔪 This was my first book by the author ✍🏻 and it certainly won’t be the last. The book kept me hooked from the beginning till the end. It was a quick read and I easily finished it in two sittings. What surprised me most about this book was the fact that what started as a simple revenge story soon turned out to be something dark and sinister. Never in a million years could I have predicted that plot twist. It came as a total surprise.

🔪 Recommended! Thanks to the author and NetGalley for the ARC.

Brilliant gripping story of two women who give birth to boys on the same day and the ways their subsequent lives unfold and their previous history leads to a dramatic conclusion. I have read 49 of Daniel Hurst's books but this is perhaps the most enjoyable yet. Thanks the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to ARC this book.

Thank you for the ARC. This was my first book by this author even though I’ve heard good things. I had a baby recently so it hit close to home. It was fast paced and had a few twists in the end. It was somewhat predictable but had short chapters and was a quick and easy read. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

In a London hospital in the middle of the night, a mom swaps her baby with another woman's baby. The rest of the book proceeds to tell why. We learn that Jade believes Avril ruined her life in several ways. And she had promised to get revenge. So when their eyes met in the maternity ward, Jade knew what she had to do. Switch the babies. Thank to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Wow wow and wow another amazing and gripping psychological drama from this fabulous author. I read this in practically one sitting and was hooked from the first page and thoroughly invested in this story which is told from multiple characters points of view.

It has everything you would want from a gripping read engaging characters, suspense and intrigue and an engaging storyline.

This author has fast become one of my favourites and I can’t wait to see what they write next.

I went into this book with no prior experience reading Daniel Hurst’s work, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I was thoroughly impressed! The story pulled me in from the start and didn’t let go until the final page. The short chapters were a brilliant choice, as they made the book feel fast-paced and addictive. I kept telling myself, “Just one more chapter,” only to find myself completely engrossed and losing track of time. It’s the kind of book that demands to be devoured in one sitting. Gripping, suspenseful, and captivating, this is a story I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a thrilling read.

My favorite book by Daniel BY FAR! This is such a quick intense read, you will not be able to put it down. Jade and Avril have a bad past, and Jade sees an opportunity to get some revenge. All I can really say is if you treat people like crap your entire life, eventually someone is going to get revenge. Great suspense. great twists. Ending you will never see coming!

Holy cow! Daniel Hurst you've done it again! This might very well be my favorite of your books...I do love all of them, keep them coming! The twists and turns in this book are absolutely crazy. If you think you know what's going on, I guarantee you don't! Keep reading.
Thanks to netgalley, the publisher and author for the chance to read this ARC with the promise of an honest review.

I was hooked from page one of this clever thriller and I didn't look up from my book again until the very last line. I particularly enjoyed the flashbacks which explained why this crime came into being but I never could have anticipated the final twist, it was genius. Well worthy of 5 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book
