But when Kat reaches out to the man in the profile, an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light. As Kat begins to investigate, her feelings are challenged about everyone she’s ever loved—even her father, whose cruel murder so long ago has never been fully explained.

All right so let me first begin my review…

So I started reading this book…at first, it was slightly boring. The story starts with NYPD detective Kat Donovan who is reeling from her breakup with her fiance Jeff Raynes, eighteen years ago. With the help of her friend Stacy, she then signs into an online dating website to find a man who looks just like her fiance! Anyway later on it reveals something more sinister afterwards…

So let me start with the things that I liked

  • The story is interesting and keeps the reader hooked into the story
  • I love a good thriller book and this is one of the best thriller books I have read.
  • The outline of the story is thrilling–a killer is stalking his victims on the online dating website and targets mainly rich people by using fake names and pictures.
  • Overall I enjoyed reading this book!

Now the things that I didn’t like

  • I know Kat’s father’s death is one of the main things in the story but I would have loved the author to focus more on the online dating scam killing thing more

Overall I enjoyed reading this book! Rate five stars!
