The Tutor by Daniel Hurst
✨ "A house full of secrets and a family on the brink—what could possibly go wrong?" ✨
📚 Spoiler-Free Section 📚
Alright, witches, gather 'round. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a stunning Swedish tutor enters a suburban family’s picture-perfect life, The Tutor by Daniel Hurst spills all the tea—and then some. ☕
Meet Amy and Nick, a seemingly happy couple navigating life with their two children. When their struggling teen son, Michael, needs help preparing for his GCSEs, they decide to hire a tutor. Enter Petra: a gorgeous, young, blonde bombshell who’s more than just qualified to teach. From the moment she steps into their lives, cracks in their seemingly solid foundation begin to show.
On the surface, The Tutor offers a juicy setup full of tension, temptation, and domestic drama. You can feel the tension simmering, waiting to boil over, and it’s impossible not to cringe in anticipation of the chaos Petra's arrival will unleash.
Tumblr media
Hurst’s writing builds the suspense slowly, with alternating points of view from Amy, Nick, and others in the family. While this adds depth and intrigue, the story feels like it’s teasing you with a climax that doesn’t quite live up to its potential. The pacing? A little uneven. The payoff? Well, let’s just say it left me side-eyeing the ending harder than a witch whose potion didn’t brew correctly.
✨ Things I Loved 🔮 The concept. A family slowly unraveling under the weight of secrets and lies? Sign me up! 📖 The dual POVs. Seeing the situation from Amy and Nick’s perspectives is like watching a car crash in slow motion—you have to keep looking. 💡 The setup. Hurst knows how to craft an engaging premise, and the early chapters pull you right in.
✨ Things That Left Me Cackling (Not in a Good Way) 👉 Nick. Oh, sweetie. This man is one bad decision away from being banished to the doghouse permanently. His obsession with Petra is so blatant, it’s almost comedic.
Tumblr media
👉 The ending. After all the buildup, the twist felt... underwhelming. Like stirring a cauldron for hours only to discover you’ve brewed plain water.
🕷️ Spoiler Zone: You’ve Been Warned! 🕷️
Let’s spill the potion here: Nick. Freaking. Annoyed. Me. This man has been with Amy since they were 16, and yet he’s out here thirsting after Petra like a lovesick teenager. It’s not even subtle. The way he admits to himself that he can’t be alone with Petra because he “won’t be able to help himself”? Gag me with a broomstick. 😒 And don’t even get me started on how Amy notices Nick’s sudden spike in “enthusiasm” (read: lust) whenever Petra is around. Girl, just fire her at this point!
And let’s not forget the moment Amy does fire Petra after realizing Nick is clearly fantasizing about her—only for Nick to go behind Amy’s back and contact Petra anyway.
Tumblr media
It’s no surprise he eventually sleeps with Petra, all while justifying it with the classic, “It’s just a one-time thing; Amy won’t find out.” Nick, honey, you’re not slick.
While the tension between the characters is juicy, the story itself drags in the middle. I kept waiting for the big, explosive twist that would blow my witch hat off. Instead, we get a reveal that, while mildly surprising, doesn’t feel earned or even realistic.
Tumblr media
🖤 Witchy Final Verdict 🖤
The Tutor has all the ingredients for a captivating domestic thriller, but the execution didn’t quite cast the spell I was hoping for. The characters are messy in a way that will have you yelling at the pages, but the plot doesn’t fully deliver on its promise.
✨ Will I recommend it? Sure, if you’re in the mood for a quick, drama-filled read with questionable decision-making. ✨ Will I ever forgive Nick? Not in this lifetime.
⭐ 3/5 Stars ⭐

The Wolf: Ghost Hunter, text by Daniel Leboeuf, photographs by Thomas Kitchin and Victoria Hurst, 1996
This book is somewhat more photographs than text, and I'm honestly not sure I've ever read all of the text, though it looks informative. I would sit and draw the photos in this book as a kid

Every house has secrets. But not all of them stay buried forever... When the Burgess family move into their 'forever' home, it seems like they are set for many happy years together at their new address. Steph and Grant, along with their children, Charlie and Amelia, settle into their new surroundings quickly. But then they receive an unexpected visit from a couple who claim to have lived in the house before. They wish to come in and have a look around for old time's sake. Seeming pleasant and plausible, Steph invites them in. And that's when things begin to change.It's not long after the peculiar visit when the homeowners begin to find evidence of the past all around their new home as they redecorate. But it's the discovery of a hidden wall containing several troubling messages that really sends Steph into a spin. After digging into the history of the house a little more, she learns it is connected to a shocking crime from the past. A crime that still remains unsolved...

🖤✨ The Husband by Daniel Hurst ✨🖤 ⭐⭐⭐ (3 Enchanted Cauldrons Out of 5)
This post contains affiliate links.
Gather 'round, my spellbound friends, for a tale that promises secrets, lies, and the dark underbelly of suburban bliss. 🧙‍♀️ Daniel Hurst's The Husband serves up a domestic thriller that feels like binge-watching a true-crime documentary on a stormy night—complete with unsolved mysteries, shocking revelations, and a family's unraveling secrets.
Tumblr media
The Setup: Meet Jenny and Lachlan, a couple who've shared over two decades of marriage, two teenage children, and a life that seems picture-perfect. But, as we witches know, appearances can be deceiving. When a viral documentary dredges up a 25-year-old unsolved murder from Lachlan's quaint Scottish hometown, the cauldron starts to bubble. Jenny's curiosity is piqued, especially when Lachlan reacts with the kind of panic you'd expect if someone had just spotted a black cat crossing their path. 🐈‍⬛
Tumblr media
The Descent: The narrative dances between Jenny and Lachlan's perspectives, each chapter peeling back layers like an onion in a witch's brew. Jenny becomes obsessed with the question: "What is my husband hiding?" Her investigation leads her down a path of lies and manipulation, while Lachlan is equally determined to keep his past buried, even if it means resorting to desperate measures. The tension between them crackles like a well-cast spell, leading to a power struggle that threatens to destroy their family.
Tumblr media
The Craftsmanship: Hurst weaves a tale that explores trust, betrayal, and the fragility of domestic bliss. The story loops back to its prologue, creating a sense of inevitability that keeps readers engaged. However, the rapid shifts in character behavior can feel jarring. Jenny and Lachlan's initial personalities are so well-defined that their sudden descent into extreme actions feels a bit like a potion gone wrong. The pacing during their fateful weekend in the small town could have used more simmering, allowing the tension to build to a more satisfying boil.
Tumblr media
The Verdict: The Husband delivers twists that will keep you turning the pages, even if some feel a tad rushed. Fans of domestic thrillers and slow-burning mysteries will appreciate the intricate power plays between the characters. It's a quick, engaging read that asks provocative questions about how far we'll go to protect our secrets—and whether we can ever truly escape them. While the story doesn't quite stick the landing in terms of pacing, it's still a solid pick for those who enjoy psychological thrillers with a domestic edge. Hurst reminds us that behind every seemingly perfect life, there's often a storm brewing just beneath the surface.
So, my fellow enchantresses, if you're in the mood for a tale of secrets and lies, The Husband might just be the potion you're looking for. 🖤✨

The Space Between Hearts
Tumblr media
A/N: This is Just the Plot Bunnies I Couldn’t Shake. Please Don’t Expect Any Kind of Medical Accuracy. This is inspired by House MD & a Film Called Fathers & Daughter (Loosely).
The Space Between Us.
Warnings: Migraines, Medical Talk.
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Aubrey Hurst.
Spencer Reid had one persistent, insidious problem: migraines. But his real frustration ran deeper than the searing pain. It was the half-dozen doctors who had repeatedly dismissed his symptoms, each one claiming he was wrong, that grated on him the most.
That’s how he found himself sitting stiffly across from Dr. Edwards at St. Charles Medical and Research Hospital. As soon as Spencer stepped into the stark, sterile office, he had already pegged the man as dismissive. He didn’t need his finely honed profiling skills to see it—the doctor’s disinterest was plain in the way he barely glanced up from his files, his fingers absentmindedly drumming on the desk.
“Are you having one of your headaches right now?” Dr. Edwards asked flatly, as if the answer didn’t particularly matter.
“Not at the moment,” Spencer replied, his irritation barely concealed.
“And when was the last one?”
“Two days ago.”
The doctor scribbled a note with an almost robotic detachment before glancing up, his eyebrows raised in a half-hearted show of interest. “You don’t think your headaches are psychosomatic?”
Spencer’s jaw clenched. “No,” he said firmly.
Dr. Edwards barely reacted, his expression remaining passive as he began to close the file in front of him. “Honestly, I think your migraines are stress-related,” he said with an air of finality. “But I’ll arrange for a consult with the diagnostics team. Stay here.”
Spencer bit back the urge to argue, frustration simmering beneath the surface. It wasn’t just that his headache—the one that had been steadily building since he stepped off the jet—was growing more pronounced. The bright, clinical lights overhead felt like needles pressing into his skull, amplifying the pain.
Twenty agonizing minutes passed, and the tension in the room seemed to grow with each passing second. Finally, the door creaked open. But instead of Dr. Edwards returning, two younger doctors entered the room.
The first was a man in his late twenties, with dark hair and a welcoming, unassuming presence. He was of average height, but the ease with which he carried himself gave him an air of quiet confidence. His eyes were observant, yet kind, and he wore a small smile as he stepped forward.
“I’m Dr. Daniel Rhodes,” he said, his voice calm but engaging. “I’m a diagnostic fellow here.” He gestured toward the woman standing beside him.
She was much shorter, standing at barely 5’3”, with striking features that Spencer noted immediately. Dr. Rebecca Langford, a 27-year-old neurology resident, had rich, dark skin and wore her curly hair tied back in a neat high ponytail. Despite her youthful appearance, there was a sharpness in her eyes that suggested she took her work very seriously. Still, her smile was gentle and welcoming as she nodded in acknowledgment.
“We’re with the Diagnostics Team,” Dr. Rhodes continued, his tone professional yet reassuring. “We’ve reviewed your case, and we’d like to take a closer look at what’s going on. If you’re ready, we can start now.”
Spencer slowly rose from his seat, his head pounding in rhythm with his quickening heartbeat. There was a flicker of hope in the air, mingled with his frustration. Perhaps, finally, someone would take his pain seriously and stop brushing him off.
Spencer was led to an office that was much bigger and brighter than Dr. Edwards’—which felt like it had been stuck in the 70s with its dark wood paneling and outdated decor. This new office, however, was modern and sprawling, technically three rooms separated by glass walls. In the central room, a large table was placed in the middle, surrounded by whiteboards and bookshelves. A young woman sat at the table, surrounded by a clutter of files and medical textbooks. She glanced up briefly when they entered, but quickly returned to her work. Spencer’s eyes wandered toward the back room, which was dim and empty except for the outline of a desk, a computer, and an upright piano that was tucked beneath the window.
Dr. Rhodes led him into the final room, which had a more comfortable, welcoming feel. The walls were a warm cream colour, and the space felt modern and fresh. A patient bed stood at the centre of the room, with a chair and monitoring equipment neatly arranged around it.
“Go ahead and take off your shoes and sit on the bed,” Dr. Rhodes suggested, gently pulling Spencer out of his daze.
“Sure,” Spencer replied, slipping out of his shoes and climbing onto the bed.
“I’m going to take some blood while we talk through your medical history,” Dr. Langford added, her voice calm but focused as she prepped the necessary equipment.
For the second time that day, Spencer recounted his medical history. His mother’s condition, the paranoid schizophrenia that had plagued her for as long as he could remember. His own brushes with danger—the gunshot wound, the anthrax exposure, and his brief but difficult stint with dilaudid, which made him extremely reluctant to rely on strong painkillers now.
His migraines had started about six months ago, and they had only been getting worse. Initially, he could manage them with over-the-counter pain relievers, but by Christmas, they had stopped working altogether. He had tried to push through the pain, but now it was becoming unbearable.
As Spencer spoke, he noticed that Dr. Rhodes and Dr. Langford were asking far more detailed questions than any of his previous doctors. They didn’t just focus on the surface-level details. Instead, they delved deeper—into his caffeine intake, how much sugar he consumed daily and weekly, his sleeping patterns, and where he lived. They even asked about the type of building he resided in, where he had been over the past year, and, more specifically, where he had been when he first noticed the migraines beginning.
They wanted to know what his headaches had been like before the migraines had evolved, and they didn’t shy away from the mental health side of things either. Spencer could feel himself growing defensive, even though he knew it was illogical. He had been building this defence mechanism ever since his father left him in the care of his mother—a woman whose paranoid schizophrenia had defined much of his childhood. And now, here he was, at the perfect age to potentially develop symptoms himself. Spencer was acutely aware of the statistics, the genetic predisposition, and the trauma he had endured throughout his life. He knew the risks better than most, and the thought of it all worried him far more than he cared to admit, even to himself.
Dr. Langford finished drawing Spencer’s blood and called out to the young woman in the other room. That’s when Spencer learned that she was a medical student. As the doors slid open, he noticed for the first time that the office at the far end of the room now had its light on.
“Thanks,” Dr. Langford said as the medical student quickly took the vials of blood from her and exited the room, following Dr. Rhodes.
Then, Dr. Langford turned back to Spencer and resumed her questioning.
“Any hallucinations?” she asked, her tone even and professional.
“No,” Spencer replied, shaking his head.
“Are you just saying no because of your history?” she probed.
“No,” he said again, a little more firmly.
“No visual or audible hallucinations?” she pressed.
“No,” he answered, his patience holding.
“Any colours or auras?”
“No,” he said, and this time, she seemed satisfied.
“Okay,” she nodded. She paused for a moment before asking, “You don’t think your headaches are psychosomatic?”
Spencer exhaled, barely managing to keep his frustration at bay. “No,” he answered, the word clipped.
“Okay,” she said, offering a small, understanding smile.
Just then, the door creaked open again, and a new presence entered the room.
“Hi,” the newcomer said, her voice warm and inviting.
Spencer turned his gaze toward her. “Hello,” he replied.
“I’m Dr. Hurst, the head of diagnostics here,” she introduced herself with a soft smile. Dr. Hurst was a 29-year-old woman with a naturally friendly expression, framed by shoulder-length brown hair that was parted neatly down the middle. She wore a black coat layered over a simple black dress. Her demeanour was professional, yet approachable, and though she smiled warmly at Spencer, he couldn’t help but notice a faint sadness lingering in her eyes, as if something weighed on her despite the smile she presented.
Even as Spencer observed her, she radiated an aura of confidence and care, putting him slightly more at ease. Still, the sadness in her gaze intrigued him, almost as much as her curiosity about his condition. He wondered silently what she had seen to put that sadness there, but quickly reminded himself that this wasn’t about her—this was about his migraines, his pain, and the answers he so desperately sought.

Herbert Lee (January 1, 1912 - September 25, 1961) was a voting rights activist and martyr of the Mississippi civil rights movement. He was born to Albert Lee, a farmer, and Elvira Turner Lee in Liberty, Mississippi. His wife, Prince Melson Lee, taught him how to sign his name. He and Prince had nine children, and by the 1950s, he became a successful dairy farmer.
He became involved in voting rights activities in Amite County. When his close friend E.W. Steptoe, organized the Amite County branch of the NAACP to register voters, he joined the organization, becoming a charter member. He worked with Robert “Bob” Moses, a New York teacher and leader of SNCC, and drove him around to contact potential voters. He provided transportation to SNCC activists in nearby McComb. Mississippi whites used intimidation, death threats, and harassment to deter African Americans as well as voting rights activists from outside the state from registering local African Americans to vote.
He was one of the first African Americans targeted by white terrorists. On September 25, 1961, he arrived in Liberty, at the Westbrook Cotton Gin with a truckload of cotton. Mississippi State Representative E.H. Hurst, who had threatened to kill him and other African Americans for attending voter registration classes, approached and cornered him on the side of his pickup truck. Several people watched Hurst take out his gun and shoot him in the head. His body remained on the ground until the sheriff, Daniel Jones, could arrange a coroner’s jury. Hurst claimed self-defense, arguing that he owed him money, and proceeded to attack him with a tire iron. Black witnesses, including Louis Allen, were forced to give false testimony to corroborate Hurst’s story. The all-white jury ruled the murder a justifiable homicide. Hurst was never convicted and continued to serve in the Mississippi Legislature.
Louis Allen informed federal investigators that he had been forced to lie to the jury in fear for his life. Allen suffered harassment and beatings and on January 31, 1964, he was shot. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
