NO MORE DATES

“No More Dates” by Tina S. Transformation is a fun, fast-paced, and intense story about a tight-knit book club of women just trying to live their lives—despite a serial killer targeting their town. I loved the loyalty between the friends and how they had each other’s backs through all the chaos. Salem the cat was a total scene-stealer, and Jamie’s journey to stay one step ahead of the killer had me hooked. This book had just the right mix of suspense and humor. I really enjoyed it!

No More Dates is a captivating , fast paced thriller. I absolutely loved the witty, sarcastic humor of Jamie and her friends and I believe Salem deserves his own standing ovation.

I love how she incorporates the Dateline app in this book. For those who don’t know what Dateline is, it’s an app created by 5 amazing authors from their anthology of terrifying stories from the dating app. Highly recommend that one too.

This was such a wild ride. It is a quick read, but it never once felt thin or rushed. The story hits all the right notes of dark humor and dating chaos, and somehow it still manages to pack a real punch. Following the main character as she deals with modern dating disasters was hilarious in that slightly painful way that makes you grateful you are not out there swiping for your life. The Dateline twist adds a playful streak of danger that keeps the whole thing moving fast.

What I loved most was how sharp and clever it all felt. The nights that go wrong, the red flags that show up with perfect timing, and the absurdity of trying to find a decent human in a sea of strange profiles all come together in a way that feels way too relatable. The ending left me smiling and very pleased to be off the dating apps forever.

I love Transformation's writing style so much. Five stars from me.

Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
No More Dates by Tina S. Transformation

This book surprised me. Like, actually surprised me. I went in expecting light, fluffy chaos and instead got… cozy murder. And somehow that worked. Very well.

No More Dates is fun, fast, and ridiculously easy to inhale. Blink and you’re halfway through. It reads like a chick flick that took a wrong turn, tripped over a body, shrugged, and kept going with wine in hand. There’s humor, charm, and yes—murders. Casual ones. The kind that just… exist in the background while life goes on.

We’ve got a girl, a solid friend group, a cat (important), and an inheritance that includes a nice chunk of land, a house, and some money. Already living the dream. Toss in a dating app and a supposedly adorable cop who might—might—be a serial killer, and suddenly things get interesting. Her solution? Casually announce she’s gay now so they can “just be friends.” Honestly? Iconic behavior.

No spoilers, because I’m not a monster. But I will say this: if killer clowns make your soul leave your body—abort mission. Immediately. If not? Buckle up.

This is the kind of book you read curled up under a blanket, legs tucked in, drink within reach. Preferably with a pet nearby. Cat, dog, hamster, snake—whatever emotionally supports your reading habits. The vibe is cozy, slightly unhinged, and weirdly comforting.

And the most disturbing part? The fact that love and murder don’t have to be drenched in trauma, screaming, and abandonment issues for once. Here, it’s just girlfriends, falling in love, inheriting a house, adopting cats… and oh yeah, murder. As a side dish. Wildly refreshing.

Did it make me smile? Yes. Did that feel mildly concerning? Also yes. Am I mad about it? Absolutely not.

Four very lovable stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because this book made me happy in the strangest, darkest little way.
Also—my inner detective was on a roll with this one.

Your turn. Did you see it coming too?
