Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.
I really enjoyed this book - a very easy read and would highly recommend to others who enjoy a twisty thriller! I would definitely read more by these two authors in the future.

This was a fabulous read! Wow wow wow! I am recommending this to all my thriller obsessed friends! Amazing thriller, great characters, very twisty and unsuspecting plot! I was holding my breathe in anticipation and couldn't have predicted the ending. It was the perfect mix of characters!! While I've never read these authors before separately, together they were a powerhouse! I really enjoyed reading Swipe and I think it realistically shows the dating app world! I thought this was an amazing read and it definitely earns 5 stars from me! Also, I am going to read more from these amazing authors ASAP!

I really enjoyed this book and raced through it in one sitting. I was quickly absorbed by the plot and intriguing characters. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, however it definitely won’t be the last.

3.75 stars
An undercover reporter goes on dating apps to write a story. When a married man who used dating apps was killed, he starts investigating. He finds himself in danger, while he scrambles to find the murderer.
My first book by this author and i plan to read more.

This was a quick easy read and I finished it one day. However, the writing wasn’t great and the characters fell flat. I would have dnf’ed it if wasn’t such a quick read. Overall I wasn’t impressed.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

What a great story! Can't wait to read more by this author!
Thanks Netgalley and to the author for the ARC!

This book caught my attention from the first page! I actually really enjoyed the duel POV, as it helped me get to know the characters better. I liked that despite it being in a modern setting, there wasn’t a lot of gen z slang used. That can bump a book down for me so I’m glad that wasn’t the case here!
Overall, I really enjoyed this book! I loved Sonya and Jake’s characters and I was pretty engaged the entire time. There were a few instances where it felt like xyz worked out a little TOO perfectly without consequence or pushback or a little too coincidental to be realistic but that happens sometimes! I enjoyed the story and had a fun time reading it.

This read was so fast paced that I read it in one sitting ! What a great read, I felt like a mini detective trying to figure out "who dunnit". I loved the plot, the modern day dating app theme - it reminded me of the new movie 'F, Marry, Kill', and does show the good and bad side of online dating. The ending had a great twist, and I definitely recommend reading this book!

Swipe follows Sonya who is on a dating app and Jake who is on the same dating app. Jake is on the app to do a story about online dating. Sonya is on the dating app to try and find someone. Their paths intertwine with Jake’s story following the events that happen with people on the app. The story had a lot of little suspenses throughout the book. With how popular dating apps are to meet people I think the book does a good job portraying instances that actually could or have happened on dating apps. With all the characters I would get lost a little on who was who. This is an easy fast pace read.
I would rate this 5 stars but I am not a fan of some of the paths the character’s take at the end of the book. I think it should have ended a little differently.
Thank you NetGalley and Booksgosocial for the ARC copy.

This was a very quick and fun read. It kept me on my toes and wanting more! I finished it in less than 24 hours, so I think that says something. I will be looking more in to these authors as well. Thanks for the ARC!

Thankyou Netgalley for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange of a honest review.
Sorry but this was a big turn off for me. It felt like the story is just going and going without any end point.

Sonya Romano has had her fill of bad online dates—enough to teach a lesson to the men she meets under false pretenses. When one such confrontation turns deadly, Sonya scrambles to hide her involvement. Meanwhile, disgraced journalist Jake Parker goes undercover to write a clickbait piece on dating apps. As more married men on the app turn up dead, Jake suspects a serial killer is targeting cheaters. Their paths eventually collide, but neither anticipates a lurking danger that might claim another victim.
From the description, I expected a nail-biting thriller, but Swipe turned out to be less of an edge-of-your-seat experience and more of a quick, entertaining read. The pacing is brisk, making it easy to get through, yet by about two-thirds into the story, the final outcome felt predictable. Some plot points stretched believability (particularly how the police were portrayed), although it didn’t stop me from enjoying the overall reading experience. In the end, I’d give this a 3.5-star rating for its speedy, lightweight style and intriguing premise.
Fans of fast-paced crime dramas with a touch of romance may still find Swipe appealing, especially if you don’t mind a somewhat foreseeable ending. Keep in mind there are depictions of murder and some violence, so sensitive readers should proceed with caution. Thank you to R.G. Belsky, Bonnie Traymore, and NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Really good, quirky kind of tense, mystery.
Sonya decides to get her own back on the inconsiderate and self centered guys she
meets on a dating app. Revenge is its own reward, etc.
Jake, a reporter trying to recapture his past success as a lauded print journalist, is trying to
write an award winning piece on dating apps and goes on line as a member to seek
his story.
But both Sonya in her revenge and Jake in his undercover guise, bite off more than either can chew.
What follows, when their paths cross, is pure mayhem and non stop suspense.
Extremely topical and very catching story line and terrific characters who are, none of them,
exactly as they appear.
Even if you are not the dating app type, Swipe, is a good read, for sure.
The name grabbed me immediately.

A fast paced thriller about the dangers of online dating. Though an enjoyable read, there was a lack of chemistry between the two protagonists and too many coincidences in the plot.

I really enjoyed this book and it was such a thought provoking read in this age of everything including dating being readily available with a swipe of a finger. I would highly recommend

This one was definitely not my cup of tea so it was a dnf for me. I think if you like lighter “dark” books, this ones for you. It’s written in first person and the writing is really good but just not for me. Hopefully you’ll like it.

This book is fantastic, it captures the modern day issue of all the dangers behind dating apps and meeting people online. It is a fast paced, heart racing, gripping novel which will keep you engrossed from the first page. Its a very intense psychological thriller and I highly recommend. I love this its a masterpiece!
📚I was able to read an advanced copy of title thanks to NetGalley, Bonnie Traymore, R. G. Belsky and BooksGoSocial📚
📚All reviews and opinions are entirely my own📚

Thank you BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the Arc
The good thing about this book is that it’s a fast pace easy read. Perfect for a plane ride or for traveling. Easy to pick up put down and put down if needed while giving you numerous jump in point.
The way texts are formatted in the book is nice and pretty immersive tbh. Very enjoyable in a tech based plot
The biggest struggle of this book is trying to figure out just who this book is for.
There is a lot of time spent explaining just what a dating app is. It feels dated like it was written ten or fifteen years ago. The bios get referred to as things like add and it’s drilled into us just how desperate everyone on the apps are. Also ??? People are using handles ??? I can not imagine going on a date with a man who name I don’t know in this our year of the lord 2025
It truly feels like a book written by two people who have never used a dating app or at least haven’t since plenty of fish.
The plot is fast paced and that’s fun but the characters are underwhelming. Our female lead regularly goes into diatribes about how men are dangerous in a way that most women will already be aware of. Our male lead is just sooooooo smart and charming only non of that self described charm is reflected in the dialogue.The two have a weird romance that I just don’t buy and couldn’t bring myself to to care about. Probably the least believable part of the story.

I'm really sorry to say this but I had to DNF this book. I was so excited to read it based off the description. It's not too often you run into women serial killer books, a Femme Fatale. So, whenever I find one with that description I have to give it a try.
Unfortunately this book just did not cut ut. And I really, really tried to give it an honest go. I got to 30% and I just couldn't do it anymore. The writing was very awkward. It was almost like first and third person were smashed together at points. And in other parts the sentence contained past and present verbage. The writing also felt very juvenile. It was like I was reading a book written by someone in high school. It just felt clunky and didn't flow. The MMC character Jake was also awful to read!! It came across very big headed and immature. And the FMC Sonya also thought very highly of herself in a pretentious way.
I'm interested to go read the other reviews after I post this to see if anyone actually made it through the book.

A good twisty thriller about the scary world of online dating. I enjoyed the concept of married men dying after being discovered on a dating date. I did predict who the killer was, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the novel.
