Matchmaking for Psychopaths
Love is a dangerous game when your clients are killers…from the bestselling author behind Love Letters to a Serial Killer.
When Lexie's fiancé runs off with her so-called best friend on her birthday, her carefully crafted fairy-tale life shatters. Having survived horrors in her past, she was determined to finally get her happily-ever-after—and she's not giving up yet.
To distract herself, Lexie throws herself into her unusual job: matchmaking psychopaths (a specialty her clients are blissfully unaware of). But the loneliness is crushing. So when a gorgeous, overprotective new client named Aidan insists they're soulmates, and another intriguing client, Rebecca, seems perfect to fill the best-friend-shaped hole in her life, Lexie can't help but find the attention comforting—despite her own professional boundaries.
Then a human heart appears on Lexie's doorstep. As more threatening packages arrive and her fiancé mysteriously disappears, she must confront a terrifying question: did she inadvertently match herself with a killer? Between Aidan's claims that her fiancé will never return, Rebecca's growing presence in her life, and her own dark past resurfacing, Lexie's matchmaker instincts are being tested like never before.
Because someone is determined to ensure her story ends with a funeral.

When I came across this book on Netgalley, the premises of this book was so promising that I had to request for it and fortunately I was approved a copy. But little did I know that I would be disappointed. I wasn’t expecting this book to turn out the way it did. Though, the plot had potential but that was not enough to make me love this book.
I have read a lot of readers out there describe this book as a fun, quirky, rom-com, and a binge worthy book but I failed to understand how something so sad, dark and depressing could be fun. There was little to no romance and for the comedy, it failed to put a smile on my face. How was I supposed to have fun, when there were creepy stuff like murders happening, body parts being chopped up and delivered as cute little gifts? Yes, definitely this book would have made a good thriller -had it being one.
However, this book started out well, but soon it was all over the place, the writing was so repetitive, I completely lost track of how times Lexie told us that her parents were serial killers, abandoned her or forgot her birthday. There was so much of internal monologue that at times, I lost track of what was actually going on. Some moments were just over to the top-like Lexie and Aidan having sex in the plane and later Aidan claiming that he couldn’t even get on his knees while proposing. Like, dude, come on—you just had sex in that plane some days back. And that wasn’t even the worst part, the ending which I hoped would make me love this book was completely bizarre.
I’m surprised that I actually finished it. This book wasn’t a right fit for me..

I nearly DNFd the book because I was not a fan of the narrator or the FMC. I think this book is written to make tou cringe and laugh but it made it really hard to finish. The ending stuck the landing.
This is the first time I’ve encountered a cover that so perfectly mirrors the emotional and thematic depth of the story within. From the very first chapter, this book grabs hold and doesn’t let go. Each chapter escalates the tension in such a gripping way that I found myself questioning whether anything else on my to-do list could possibly matter more than finishing this novel.
The characters are richly developed and deeply flawed, some by design, others by choice, which adds layers of complexity that elevate this beyond your average thriller. And that ending… I’m still thinking about it and wishing I had someone to unpack it with. It’s haunting, bold, and absolutely unforgettable.
This is a standout in the thriller genre, unique, emotionally charged, and masterfully paced. I highly recommend it and can only hope there’s a sequel in the works.
