Dying to Date is a mystery thriller book one in The Dying Series by indie author Sharmyn McGraw.

The story follows along with Kristina Truly who is a motivational life coach who puts on seminars and releases self-help books on “Finding Mr. Right, Not Mr. Perfect.”

She is quite successful in spite of her own repeated failure in relationships. Daddy issues, fears of abandonment, trust issues, always going for the one that needs fixing, you name it.

A serial killer seems to be targeting women connected to her seminars, women who have attended her workshops. Out of fear Kristina may be next, FBI agent Detective Jakes takes it upon himself to be in charge of keeping her safe.

Along the way, sparks fly.

But before they have a chance to figure out what they are to one another, the serial killer investigation takes a turn.

Sharmyn McGraw did a fantastic job of throwing curve balls and keeping me on my toes. Every time someone new came along, I found myself saying, “Okay, is this the killer?”, “Don’t trust him…”, and “DON’T GO IN!!”

Technically speaking, there were times when the writing was a little confusing, particularly when a new character was introduced, or when the point of view changed. Overall, however, the story made up for this.

I’d recommend the book.
