My Thoughts:

Lexi gets dumped by her fiancé for her best friend on her birthday. This is especially humiliating since she had no idea and because she’s a matchmaker. No worries, Lexi has a plan to get him back and to serve up some justice to her ex-best friend. However, things go a bit wonky when her ex is murdered and the murderer starts sending her gifts. The messages included send a chill up Lexi’s spine since the culprit knows things about Lexi’s origins that she’d rather not come out.

 

Lexi is a matchmaker for psychopaths! Yep, it’s nuts, but she has a knack for it given her history which is slowly revealed. I was riveted from the first page as Lexi tried to find out who’s behind everything and as her past is slowly revealed. I had my ideas but was also surprised.

 

I loved Matchmaking for Psychopaths! It was a little unhinged and darkly funny! I liked Lexi and rooted for her to prevail and for her new romance! A definite recommend!

Book Description:

When Lexie's fiancé runs off with her so-called best friend on her birthday, her carefully crafted fairy-tale life shatters. Having survived horrors in her past, she was determined to finally get her happily-ever-after—and she's not giving up yet.

To distract herself, Lexie throws herself into her unusual matchmaking psychopaths (a specialty her clients are blissfully unaware of). But the loneliness is crushing. So when a gorgeous, overprotective new client named Aidan insists they're soulmates, and another intriguing client, Rebecca, seems perfect to fill the best-friend-shaped hole in her life, Lexie can't help but find the attention comforting—despite her own professional boundaries.

Then a human heart appears on Lexie's doorstep. As more threatening packages arrive and her fiancé mysteriously disappears, she must confront a terrifying did she inadvertently match herself with a killer? Between Aidan's claims that her fiancé will never return, Rebecca's growing presence in her life, and her own dark past resurfacing, Lexie's matchmaker instincts are being tested like never before.

Because someone is determined to ensure her story ends with a funeral.
