Online dating can be scary. This book proves it. Karl’s sister Stacey goes on a blind date she meets on an online dating site. The guy is handsome and rich and just her cup of tea until he starts putting out creepy stalker vibes. She asks him to take her home and he obliges, or does he?

The next morning she returns home to the apartment she shares with Karl a different person. It’s almost as if she had a personality transplant. She’s become mean, vulgar, and hypersexual. She attacks their mother and then goes after Karl.

Dawn’s mother Isobel is going through the same situation. Isobel meets a beautiful woman on a dating website and after a date, her personality changes as well. She becomes hateful and even abandons Dawn and only returns later to attack her daughter.

Dawn and Karl team up to find out the reasons for their loved ones sudden changes. The cops don’t believe that there is a connection in circumstances but they are determined to prove the police wrong.

There are a few twists here and a mad scientist to boot. The revealing explanations are a little hokey and predictable. The downfall of the women and what they end up doing is more interesting than the reveal of what actually happened to them. It was a little creepy at parts and those I really enjoyed.

The book was not bad overall. It’s fast paced for the most part but a little bogged down in the middle. The ending made me angry. It ended abruptly and had I been reading a paperback instead of on my tablet I would have thrown it across the room.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
