This was an enjoyable read! While I found the protagonist a bit annoying and couldn’t understand the decision to make her so ignorant about psychopathy despite having studied psychology in college, the plot was compelling. 

There were some components of the story that I predicted early on but I appreciated the twists in the end that added some needed complexity to the overall plot.

This was a really fun, offbeat murder mystery/thriller that was equal parts hilarious as it was thrilling. The main character is a matchmaker for psychopaths who, as we find out in more detail as we go along with the story, may be more of a psychopath herself.

This novel presented a cast of characters who were all quite lively: the fiance, the best friend, the new best friend, the wanna-be lover - they all brought fun little sparks to the story and really helped to create quite the story. 

I loved uncovering more of the main characters past through flashbacks to her murderous parent's early days and the story had quite a few twists that really had me guessing about parts of the story until the very last chapter. 

The novel was well written and included enough spunk and wit to keep me engaged and entertained throughout the whole story.
