Rachael’s Review

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin Publishing through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Looking for more than a hookup, Wren thinks she’s found her soulmate when she meets Adam on a dating app. After months together, Wren is shocked when Adam ghosts her and a private investigator shows up with shocking claims. The more Wren digs into Adam’s true identity, the more obsessive she becomes, blurring the lines between predator and prey. Last Girl Ghosted is a dark thriller that starts strong but loses its way as the improbable back story comes into play. Still, it’s an entertaining read for anyone who likes Lisa Jewell or Gillian Flynn.

Publisher’s Description

Secrets, obsession and vengeance converge in this utterly original thriller about an online dating match turned deadly cat-and-mouse game

She met him through a dating app. An intriguing picture on a screen, a date at a downtown bar. What she thought might be just a quick hookup quickly became much more. She fell for him—hard. It happens sometimes, a powerful connection with a perfect stranger takes you by surprise. Could it be love?

But then, just as things were getting real, he stood her up. Then he disappeared—profiles deleted, phone disconnected. She was ghosted.

Maybe it was her fault. She shared too much, too fast. But isn’t that always what women think—that they’re the ones to blame? Soon she learns there were others. Girls who thought they were in love. Girls who later went missing. She had been looking for a connection, but now she’s looking for answers. Chasing a digital trail into his dark past—and hers—she finds herself on a dangerous hunt. And she’s not sure whether she’s the predator—or the prey.
