Outstanding reviews
Loved how you set this up with the emails and speed dating descriptions! I was thinking oh fun! Who will he date?!? 😃 then hold on… what?!? Great story!
Thanks Nina! Glad you enjoyed. If 'enjoyed' is the word!! 😬😬
Most certainly enjoyed! Congrats on the well-deserved win! The judges swiped right on this one!!! 👏🏻
🍾Here I thought those dating apps were on the up and up not the cut them up.🥂🔪Congrats on the win.🏆
Thanks M!
This was so great--a little gory at the end, but the transition from innocuous to serial killer was seamless. I loved the set up, the build up and the payoff. Each woman had a specific character. I could point them out in a room full of people. However, he is a different story. I picture him as a Ted Bundy type or someone a little more nerdy looking like Bill Gates. Anyway. Great story!
Thanks Brenda. Definitely, a cross between Ted and bill sounds about right! :)
Great buildup, why is she so nervous, why does he keep telling her to ignore the other dinners…and The little quips in the dating notes were so funny.. “As i left her table I felt part of me die. Or at least abandon ship so it could stay behind.” That was so funny and now i see it ties into the ending… these wild horror stories are def popular on wattpad (and now reedsy too!) congrats on the win.
Thanks Scott. High praise coming from someone of your caliber!Pleasantly surprised by the win!

Thanks Michal. Always appreciate your comments.It's actually supposed to be Tucker who says the last line, I wanted it as a separate line but see that's not clear now so added ellipses to previous line to clarify.Also removed the band names to take the clue out :)Love the feedback I get here it really helps me.Thanks for reading
Ah, indeed! I misread it then, and that does change the ending somewhat. Less hopeful for Mandy, and darker all around :)
Congratulations on the win! :D
😁 pleasant surprise for a not so pleasant tale!
So good. I didn't know where it was going with the speed dating but what a great format to show us the characters real quick and build a facade of who Tucker was.When we finally meet him I was disturbed by what a dick he was, then he keeps going, and going, then bam the penny drops.Marvelous execution, my favourite of yours so far.
OMG I never would have read this had I known it would be a horror story, but I'm so glad I did. (Guess I didn't read the genre buttons!) I was so delighted by the emails and the rush of optimism came to a hard, cold stop so sharp I could feel the chill in my veins. Really nice pacing and clever character development that's just enough to feel so badly for these people. Thanks, I needed that!
EEk, sorry Parul. Yes those genre buttons can be helpful... :)Hopefully you aren't too traumatised!Thanks for the kind words!
No need for apology, it was a great read! I’ll wade into your brand of horror anytime.
Congratulations! A very twisted story with a great and sinister twist in the end. Nice work!
Cheers Chris. I do indeed like my sinister twists! 😂
At first I thought the speed dating section at the beginning was not needed, but it did set up the story well. Good (though gruesome) descriptions Awful dark!
Thanks Marty!
I absolutely loved this one! Great build up and a good, demented twist on the dating scene.
Why did it end??? :(Lovely twist. Made me lose my marbles for a sec
This was so good! The plot twist was unexpected, but awesome! I love the way the conversation starts off normally (except for the fact that she's nervous and everything) and then he starts getting more weird with everything, then just kills her. And at the end, he just had everyone trapped there, which was also unexpected but good!
Thanks Kayleigh glad you 'enjoyed' my dark tale!
Haha, I did! You're a really good writer!
I was led on. My jaw was on the floor while reading this. Great story
You ever read something so good it consumes every part of you? And have you ever felt empty after finishing it? I finished this feeling like there was a hole in my chest. This was so good and unexpected. 10/10
Wow, this was amazing. I knew something was off when the teacher was a little too nervous, but I didn't expect him to be a serial killer. Great work!
Extremely dark clever twist. Well done!
Derrick, that was such a creepy twist, going from the epistolary maybe-rom-com premise of the speed dates to the serial killer tableau at the end. Gut punch!Bravo!
Thank you Geir! Lovely to get a comment from you here I read your work regularly and it's always impressive and inspiring 😊
Love a bit of sick humour - very well done. (thanks for the follow)
Lol thanks. Yes enjoyed your nursing home romp too! Nothing like a bit of tongue in cheek darkness
I liked this story. I kinda expected something sinister, but I wasn’t expecting this! At first, I thought it was an ordinary date until I read the line about the grimy face and had to go back and read it again. Well done!
Thank you Michael! :)
Hi Derrick!Congratulations on the stunning win! Your use of speed dating was brilliant and I loved the way you built the suspense up. I was totally terrified during this story in the best possible way. I love that you chose to truly commit to this character’s perspective. Insanity is a fascinating thing to write with. Nice work!!
Aw thanks Amanda! Lovely to get a comment like that from a long-term submitter here. :) Chuffed!
