Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for providing this book, with my honest review below.

As unique as its name, Matchmaking for Psychopaths was a fun book that I honestly couldn’t guess ahead on! It would make sense given some personality quizzes and assessments that surely take place in matchmaking that an agency may begin to realize some of their customers are psychopaths and choose to be a little more deliberate in their matching. In this case Lexie is the one bringing these psychopaths together, something she is talented in given her mysterious past. But when Lexie’s perfect life is shattered with her fiancé leaving her for her best friend she stops being the puppeteer between psychopaths and gets pulled into the fun more directly.

Lexie was a great character to get to know, but better than her the secrets other characters were hiding and the ‘what comes next?’ plot really made this fun. From the opening that just grabs you and won’t let go to the crazy plot turns, I dare you to try to not plow through this in one go.

I got approved for this book, immediately downloaded it, and read it as quickly as my life allowed me to. The title alone deserves 5 stars, and I'm happy to report that the story also delivers. While I felt like I guessed the ending before it arrived, there was ANOTHER major twist that I absolutely did not clock. By the end of this fast paced, exciting, sometimes even funny story, I was fully charmed by the MC and her band of collected weirdos. The true lesson? Being a psychopath sometimes isn't the worst thing in the world to be. That is, if you can keep yourself from murdering others. 5 stars!

I really enjoyed this book! Would be a great beach read or book club read. It was paced just right that you never got too bogged down when reading it!

Matchmaking for Psychopaths moves at a good clip with an intriguing premise. I'd call it "fluffy" or "light," but that doesn't seem totally appropriate given the amount of murder and the fact that I am not a psychopath. The development of the main character, Lexie, is intentional and strategic, especially with the pacing of her backstory. I struggled big-time, however, with believability. Many things that happen to Lexie come across as contrived - like the circumstances of her breakup and the "twist" with her coworker, Nicole. The final twist at the conclusion felt so rushed and clumsy - a real letdown. Lexie is her realest when she is her most vulnerable, vapid self, and I wish this book had rooted itself in this instead.

I LOVED Tasha Coryell`s first novel so much and was so happy to get this one. Her books are so original from anything else I have read. Lexie works as a matchmaker for psychopaths and becomes involved with two of them outside of the office. The writing and characters are fantastic in this book. Lots of crazy and chaos abound but in a good way. Some good twists I did not see coming. I will read everything this author writes!

Tasha Coryell is back with another perfectly unhinged thriller that will have readers clutching its pages. Coryell's storytelling is equally parts disturbing and captivating. I absolutely flew through Love Letters to a Serial Killer, and Matchmaking for Psychopaths was just as gripping. The premise of a dating service for psychopaths is entertaining and original. And this twisty storyline was filled with family drama and mystery. Coryell is very quickly becoming one of my auto-buy authors. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Bingeable and unexpected, Matchmaking for Psychopaths is perfect for fans of Alice Feeney, Megan Lalley, and Riley Sagar. Family drama, mystery, and a twisty storyline will keep you guessing until the end.


I kept going back and forth on who I thought killed Noah, but I did figure it out by the end! (Not too much before the reveal though.) If you like trying to solve the mystery while you read, the author does a great job of leading the reader to decide for themselves. 


Our MC, Lexie, has changed her last name to distance herself from her past. She loves her job as a matchmaker for those that are...different. (psychopaths) She's engaged to the love of her life and has a best friend she had always dreamed of. Her boss just announced the possibility of a promotion. What else could she want from life? 


When her life is completely upended, she feels lost and alone. Who can she call to talk to? When a human heart shows up on her doorstep, she doesn't know what to think. Who would do this? Why? 


I really enjoyed this book and loved the mystery!


Thank you to netgalley for a copy to enjoy.

I loved the author’s previous title so I knew I was in for a wild ride with this one. This was book crazy in the best of ways. Lexie works at an unconventional matchmaking service and matches psychopaths for a living. I did not expect the twist at the end and it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

This book was batshit crazy in the best of ways. This is not you’re average dating service. Matchmaking for psychopaths is just what it sounds like. It might have been a bit excessive with the amount of psychopaths in this woman’s orbit, but the book was very enjoyable!

Fantastic! Alexandra has the rare and unconventional job of finding love for psychopaths—because some clients need a little extra help navigating their emotions… or lack thereof. Lexie enjoys her work, but what truly excites her is her relationship. She’s convinced her birthday will bring a spectacular surprise party, but instead, her heart shatters when her fiancé leaves her.

What follows is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud adventure as Lexie grapples with her own emotions, confronts the shadows of her dark past, and deals with the sudden disappearance of her fiancé. Meanwhile, her job gets even more complicated when some of her more enthusiastic clients blur the lines between admiration and obsession. As she dodges stalkers, untangles an increasingly bizarre mystery, and fends off unsolicited dating advice, Lexie must figure out who she can trust—and whether love is worth the chaos.

So I absolutely LOVED and devoured Love Letters to a Serial Killer and was so so excited to get this arc. Anyone who’s read Tasha’s book will immensely enjoy this one too.

Lexie is a matchmaker by trade, but she cannot find love for herself. When Matchmaking for Psychopaths begins she learns that her fiancé is leaving her for her best friend. I should mention that her brand of setting people up is unique, at her agency she in charge of setting up psychopaths. She comes to this career with some experience: her parents are infamous serial killers that butchered young women.
When Lexie begins to experience crimes and deaths in her own life, she must begin to examine some of the people she interacts with on a daily basis. Which psychopath is out to get her?

Author Tasha Coryell absolutely knocks it out of the park with this story. The writing was fantastic and the characters interesting and well crafted. A twisty novel that will keep you guessing. A five star read all around.

I received this advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review and feedback.
