I breezed through this book! It was just the right amount of darkness, mystery, and romance to have me hanging on every last word. Each time I thought I had the story figured out, another twist would come.
This was such an interesting dive into the mind of psychopaths, as well as being incredibly entertaining. I highly recommend this book!

Thank you so much to Orion for the arc via NetGalley and for giving me the opportunity to share my honest thoughts on this book.

Such a great idea for a book - psychopaths are looking for love as much as anyone else, so why not dedicate your dating agency to fulfilling their needs? Lexi hasn't had a normal start to life; her parents are infamous serial killers and she has done everything to escape being recognised, changing her name, her appearance, her location.

She enjoys her job working in the bespoke match making bureau although her own love life isn't what she thought it would be - rather than proposing to her on her birthday, Lexi's boyfriend decides to tell her he is sleeping with her best (and only) friend.

When she hears the bombshell, Lexi hits the town, joining a group of revellers. She hits it off with Aiden, and they have a wild night together. When Aiden turns up at Lexi's dating agency the next day, she doesn't know what to do - confess that she's met him before, or try and find him a romantic match? Will another new client Rebecca be a good match - or could Rebecca be a better friend for Lexi?

Its a pacey black comedy with some big issues at the heart of it and some truly unforgettable moments.

I loved everything about Matchmaking for Psychopaths by Tasha Coryell. I thought it was a pacy and fun thriller.

Lexie’s fiancé , Noah, announces at her Birthday Dinner that he’s leaving her for her best friend. She loses the two most important people in her life, leaving a gaping hole in her life and she’s left feeling both alone and lonely.

Lexie tries to fill her time and life and it’s made easier when she befriends the beautiful Rebecca and meets the handsome Aiden. Both are actually her clients of hers from the matchmaking service that she works at. Strictly speaking, she should not be socialising with clients, but that just makes it more exciting.

The story moves at a good pace as Lexie tries to fill her time with her job and navigate new friendships and discover what happened with Noah. As the story progresses Lexie’s childhood and past is also revealed.

The book packs punch and there are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming.

I can’t wait to read more books by Tasha Coryell.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Orion Publishing Group, for making this e-ARC available to me in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This was such a fun read, I was really intrigued by the premise and found it really easy to sit and read in one sitting. I found myself rooting for what are arguably some very morally corrupt people, and against the “good guys”. I definitely recommend it!

This one is definitely a winner! Such a fun and twisty combination of a romantic comedy and mystery/thriller/serial killer story. After growing up with killers for parents who didn’t pay her much attention, Lexie finds solace in reality shows and matchmaking. She ends up working for a matchmaking company who helps psychopaths find love, and finds out her fiance is cheating on her with her bestie (yikes). After her no good fiance winds up dead (too bad so sad right?), the story just goes off the rails but in the best way. This book was honestly hilarious and insane and I couldn’t put it down.

Having loved Tasha Coryell's previous book "Love Letters to a Serial Killer" (one of my fave titles of 2024!), I was extremely excited to get the chance to read her new book.

I was hooked straight away - the sort of "red herring" start of Lexie's partner leaving her for her best friend a few weeks before her wedding, and the gruesome discovery she gets given on her wedding day, this story did not go where I thought it would based on that start and the title. Instead, I was treated to a completely bizarre and gripping world of death, love, obsession, family drama (to put it lightly), murder, and the dark dark world of trying to find your soulmate in the modern world.

Fab, and once again - I can't wait to read more from Tasha!

I loved the author's debut and this was just as strong. This is a clever and sharply written mash up of the rom-com and serial killer books genre that shouldn't work but. It's both funny and compelling to read. The observations are sharply written and astute. I love how the writer made me root for some awful people.

This is a skillfully written and entertaining follow-up.

Absolutely brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy, I will definitely be recommending it.

This book was a hilarious take on psychopaths looking for love.

Lexie grew up as the daughter of serial killers, so absorbed in their own love for one another she was often neglected. She was desperate for the love she desired and found comfort in reality tv shows surrounding love.

She has gone on to work for a matchmaking company where her specialty is finding love for psychopaths.

Her life seems to be playing out how she had always hoped until her fiancée and best friend break the news to her that they are in love. When she discovers her fiancée is dead, what unfolds is a tale of mystery, new found love and acceptance.

This book was a fantastic popcorn thriller and had me laughing the whole way through! It was the perfect dark, twisty “easy read” thriller that played out in my mind like a movie. I thought the combination of darker topics with the humour it brought was executed so well!

I look forward to reading other books by this author!
