The Nurse's Lie is the second book of The Perfect Nurse series, and it is just as captivating as the first. It can be read as a standalone, with the author providing a great backstory and previous details from the first book throughout this second book, however, I do recommend reading The Perfect Nurse first.

In this book, we pick up where we left off in the first book. Darcy has ran after committing something unspeakable, however she is still struggling with retrograde amnesia, and as a result, she knows not what she has done. She is out of Chicago and now living in Florida, caring for an elderly man who is in his early stages of dementia. He does, however, recall certain crucial information- his son is not who he appears to be and is hiding a terrible secret. Darcy, being the individual she is, takes it upon herself to find out this secret. Meanwhile, her family back in Chicago is harboring their own secrets, which Darcy has no idea of.

This book is a great follow-up to the first book, with our main character back on her own and in a completely different environment. I enjoyed the dual POV and dual settings, with both Darcy and her sister Pippa sharing telling their stories, however I didn't feel like this book was as gripping as their first. There is more going on, and the cliffhanger at the end has me anticipating another book, however I wasn't as jaw-dropped as I was by the first book. This book is still a great and entertaining read, especially if read after the first.

Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture, and Daniel Hurst for this ARC!

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for letting me read an eARC of The Nurse's Lie by Daniel Hurst.

This book was another fun time. It was on par with the first book and I liked it a smidgen more. It's not a literary masterpiece but it was quite a fun ride. It picks up soon after the events of the first book and carries on from then. It had some decent twists but it also had some predictable thriller tropes. This is perfect for a vacation or sitting next to a pool or at the beach. I highly recommend this book.

3.5 stars rounded up.

Darcy and her family are back. They are now dealing with the consequences of what happened. Darcy moved away but that doesn’t resolve the person who slipped away.

I felt like Darcy’s situation was a little far fetched. The situation back at her home would have worked without the additional storyline.

Thank you to Daniel Hurst, Bookouture, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great second book in “the perfect nurse” series. It intertwines perfectly with the first book and picks up a few months after the ending of the first book. Boy does this book take you on a rollercoaster ride! You follow two different POV (Pippa and Darcy) and how there lives have been going since the end of the last book. But not everything is as it seems and boy it had such a nice twist to it, I can’t wait for the next book!

Another brilliant book from this author, a perfect follow on from number one in this series, so many twists.

The storyline was brilliant as always, just wondering how this family are going to continue in their escape.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this great ARC which I can thoroughly recommend and I look forward to number three in this Nurse Series.

Darcy is a killer. But, she can’t remember doing it. She has traumatic amnesia.

Pippa, Darcy’s sister, helped her cover up the crime. Pippa knew the police would want to question Darcy so she told Darcy to leave town. And not to watch the news.

Darcy is in Florida and takes a job as a caregiver for Joe who has early signs of dimensia. But, Joe says his son is dangerous. So, Darcy decides to investigate and her world gets turned upside down.

In Chicago, Pippa’s world gets turned upside down, too. And their actions have gotten their parents in trouble.

Fast paced, and so much going on I was totally into it. But then, I was left hanging at the end.

Is there a book 3?? Ack, I cannot wait to find out what happens to Darcy, Pippa and their family.

RECOMMEND I need to find more by this author!

Thank you #NetGalley for the complimentary copy of #TheNurse’sLie in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks to netgalley, the author and bookouture for approving my request to read this book.

The Nurses Lie follows on from The Perfect Nurse and we see Darcy now living a new life caring for an elderly gentleman called Joe after being hired by his son Parker.

Joe has memory issues and Darcy is still suffering from amnesia after her accident in the previous book but it seems she's not the only one with secrets.

This story is full of secrets and lie and for me was a real page turner, I loved revisiting the previous characters and really enjoyed Pippa's story in particular.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this psychological thriller which most definitely kept me gripped, I can't wait for the next one!

This was the second instalment of this series and I recommend reading the nurse first so that you have a full idea of what is going on. This is a dark psychological thriller that makes you keep wanting more and I read this in practically one sitting.

Like the previous book this one has lots of shocks and surprises and keeps the reader on their toes at the turn of every page.

I am looking forward to the next instalment to see where this book goes next.

Daniel Hurst is a favorite of mine! I did enjoy the twists and turns in the plot, but as a former nurse will say that reading when having a medical background you are a bit more nit-picky about the details. Truly entertaining though.

He does it again yet another thriller that will keep you up all night because you must know what happens. I loved this story about a young woman who is suffering from memory issues and takes a job helping to care for an old man who also has memory issues and his handsome son but is everything as it seems and what secrets has she forgotten and is her past darker than she thinks? It’s a great read and not to be missed!

Having read the first book in the Nurses series I was so excited to read The second book The Nurses Lie, but it didn't grip like like it did the first book, I found myself flicking through to get to the end.

I was very excited to get an ARC of The Nurse’s Lie which is book number two to The Perfect Nurse. Darcy is now safe thanks to her sister but far away from home. She was given a notebook with her family’s name written on it along with two instructions from her sister. Don’t return home and don’t watch the news. Darcy starts working for a man named Parker. She was hired to take care of his dad, Joe. Something is definitely off about Parker. Can he be trusted? Darcy knows she has to do some digging. Back at home, her sister Pippa is doing everything she can to keep her family safe but with a secret out, they aren’t very safe anymore. Does she take it to the extreme to keep her family safe? This was an intense psychological thriller which had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was shocked by the ending and I’m really hoping there will be another book in the series! Daniel’s books are truly the best. I love his writing and how he always keeps his books so interesting. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more of his books. Thank you Daniel, Bookouture and NetGalley for the ARC!

I hadn't read the first in the series (but will be going back to do so!) and wasn't sure what to expect with The Nurse's Lie. Like Daniel Hurst's other books - this was a punchy, action packed thriller with a few twists and turns and a lot of excitement.

I loved the contrasting chapters between sisters, Darcy and Pippa - Darcy with amnesia and Pippa trying to keep her family together following what appears to be quite the drama.

I could easily follow along, despite having not read the first book so this can work as a standalone but think fresh off the back of the first book would really add to it. The ending makes me very hopeful for a third - I think series are where Daniel shines. I loved the Doctor's Wife series.

This was fast paced, exciting, some decent twists, and some family drama. A solid 4 stars,

This is Book 2 in The Perfect Nurse Series. I found this book to be even more action-packed than Book 1. It's a thrilling story that plunges the reader into the chaotic and morally ambiguous world of a woman torn between her professional duty and the instinct to protect her family at all costs. The novel masterfully explores themes of guilt, deception, and survival.

We are once again immersed in the lives of Darcy and Pippa. Darcy is now in Florida, still dealing with amnesia, while Pippa remains at home, grappling with the aftermath of their shared past. (I don't want to give anything away).

This book had me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. I thoroughly enjoyed everything it had to offer.

Much like The Doctor's Wife series, I was addicted to this series and am hoping for a Book 3. I need a Book 3!

The Perfect Nurse series continues with The Nurses Lie which captivated me with its gripping storyline and complex characters.
In this second installment, we follow Darcy's journey as she grapples with amnesia and the weight of a past crime, leading her to start anew in Florida. Taking on a caretaking role for an elderly man in the early stages of dementia, she becomes entangled in a web of mystery and intrigue when she is hired by his enigmatic son. As Darcy navigates her new responsibilities, she is faced with cryptic warnings from the elderly man about his son, forcing her to question the true intentions behind these ominous messages. The tension mounts as she delves deeper into the family's secrets, unsure of who to trust and what dangers lie ahead.
Darcy's sister, Pippa, who had aided in concealing a shared secret, finds herself alienated from her loved ones as suspicions linger. The arrival of a figure from Darcy's past sets off a chain of events that threaten to expose long-buried truths, raising the stakes for both sisters.
This book was brilliant and was a thrilling ride filled with tension and suspense and I was gripped throughout. I feel it was left on a cliffhanger ending that left me yearning for more. I really hope Daniel has a 3rd book planned because I need to know what happens next!

Daniel Hurst, you did it again! This was an engaging and quick read, and in line with what we knew about the characters to a certain degree. A few surprises sprinkled in a a few new characters as well! I was speeding through the last few chapters and wanting to see what happened next and... The book ended!! Way to tease your readers, Daniel Hurst!! I need book 3 now!!!

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

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this advanced copy. The second book in this series, and it didn’t disappoint!!! Kept me on edge the entire time! I don’t know how Daniel Hurst does it, but I need a book 3 for this one please!!! Thrilling ride and edge of seat thriller.

Darcy has found a new job as a nurse, caring for Joe, Parker's aging father. Joe sometimes has memory loss, just like Darcy, and he sometimes say very concerning things about his son. Is he correct or is it the confusion speaking? Meanwhile, Pippa, Darcy's sister, is struggling to keep her sister's secret from their family and her husband. But the truth always finds a way to seep out...
This psychological thriller is book 2 in the Perfect Nurse trilogy, and you have to read book 1 before this one, otherwise 1-you might have a hard time following and 2-things will be spoiled. You have to be willing to suspend disbelief on this one, it is a bit over the top, but it was faster paced than book 1 and presented way less foreshadowing, both of which I appreciated. It was nice to already have book 2 on hand after book one, which is pretty unresolved, and I wish I already had book 3 so I couls just keep on going, because things are still left hanging a bit.
I received an advance review copy of this book for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was the second book in the Nurse series, and while I did enjoy it, it didn't quite grip me as much as the first book did. The ending leads me to believe that more books will follow, and I do look forward to reading more. I enjoy everything I read from this author, and do recommend his books!
