Swiped by L.M. Chilton
4.0
Swiped by L.M. Chilton is a uniquely captivating narrative, blending the contemporary world of dating apps with the chilling suspense of a serial killer thriller. This fusion serves as a compelling mirror to our society, keeping the reader engrossed in its twists and turns.
Gwen Turner, a frequent dating app user, finds herself on a series of disastrous dates. Each one is worse than the last, so she blocks every guy after just one date. However, when these men start turning up dead, Gwen is the only one who realizes that someone is targeting her past dates, staging their deaths at the locations of their disastrous encounters.
The story swiftly alternates between Gwen's disastrous dates and the unfolding murder mystery. This unexpected blend of genres is truly captivating. The fast pace, characteristic of a serial killer story, keeps the reader engaged. The unreliability of Gwen's narration, like the cherry on top of a dessert, adds to the mystery, making it even more puzzling.
Swiped is the perfect blend of genres that entertained and delighted me.
