Dating is tough. Especially if the guy you like might be a serial killer.
After a devastating heartbreak and a string of short-lived, failed relationships, college student Georgie Itoyama has now decided to approach dating in the same way that she approaches everything else: methodically, logically, and efficiently.
Georgie downloads countless dating apps, determined to find the love of her life as easily as she orders jeans online. And while her love-at-first-sight aspirations don’t exactly come true, she does find someone she likes. Quite a lot.
There’s only one problem. Girls are going missing at Georgie’s university, and all the signs are pointing to . . . him?
But that’s ridiculous. What are the chances that she’s dating an actual serial killer?
Then she matches with Nate. Mysterious, intelligent, and oddly fixated on solving the local disappearances. As Georgie’s relationships deepen with each of her guys, she unwittingly finds herself caught up in the mess that is murder, intrigue, and the nightmare of online dating.
“A thrilling and witty murder mystery that will have you thinking twice before you swipe right!”
“This book has it all – friendships, college life, dating apps – and murder!”
Polly Harris is the author of six YA novels and runs her own editorial company where she works on books just like this one. When Polly isn’t writing or editing, she can be found cuddling her cat (professionally known as her editorial assistant), crafting, or swiping through dating apps.

Behind the Book
We’ve all been there. You match with a cute guy on a dating app, you hit it off over text, and you arrange to meet up. Everything feels fine until you remember that awful story your aunt told you once at Thanksgiving—the one where a young woman was murdered by someone she met online. Or the horror stories she’s read about how creepy dating apps can be. So you do some internet stalking before meeting up with aforementioned cute guy, just to make sure he’s not too Ted Bundy-ish. I mean, better safe than sorry, right?
And as an unfortunate veteran of most of the dating apps on the market, I’ve had quite a few of those moments. Because we all want to find love. While avoiding creepy stalkers and murderers. Naturally.
I wrote this book mainly because I was fed up with dating apps and wanted a platform to ruthlessly mock them (while also entertaining all those “what if?” moments when I’ve gone on a date with someone I probably shouldn’t have).
Anyway, I’m willing to bet that you relate. So go ahead and read the book. I promise it’s a fun time. ;)

Dating is hard enough. Especially if the guy you like thinks you’re dead.
Daisy Delamarre is dead. Found lying in a pool of blood on the music building floor. And three years later, it’s still the best ghost story that Bayer University students have ever had. Daisy died in the most haunted building on campus, and if you’re not careful, you might be next—adding to the list of ghosts that haunt its halls.
And so that’s all Daisy becomes—a story for students to whisper about.
Until another Daisy moves to campus. A freshman with no knowledge of Delamarre’s demise, Daisy Deily joins the ranks of Bayer’s students, ready to make friends, memories, and maybe even a boyfriend.
But when Daisy accidentally logs into the wrong student account, things begin to sour. At first, she doesn’t realize what she’s done, but others do. And with Bayer’s queen ghost seemingly back to life, rumors swirl.
But not only rumors. Because there are people uncomfortable with Delamarre’s return—in more ways than one.
Because underneath the stories, whispers, and the frenzy of Bayer’s favorite ghost, is a dark secret. Why did Daisy Delamarre die? And if she’s not careful, could Daisy Deily be next?
