NO MORE DATES
Dating was already a dumpster fire—then came the Dateline match... and the body count.
Swipe. Ghost. Unmatch. Repeat. Modern love is brutal—but on Dateline, it’s downright deadly.
She wasn’t looking for a fairytale. Just someone who didn’t send "u up?" texts at 11 p.m. or lie about being single. But after one too-good-to-be-true match, things spiral fast—into flirty texts, missing footage, and a late-night crime scene that hits way too close.
Darkly hilarious and emotionally sharp, this twisted rom-com asks: What if your best match came with a badge, a secret... and maybe a body bag?

This is a fun and exciting thriller!
Jaime joins an online dating app, called Dateline, to hopefully find her love match. She’s hopeful to have possibly found her perfect person, but is he truly the one?
This story is very entertaining with a fun mix of thrills, excitement and even humor. This is a fast read, that is very engaging and sucked me into the story!
I was lucky to get an arc of this entertaining book!! Tina S. Transformation is a fantastic writer and I consistently enjoy all of her stories!!
It comes out December 16th and is a must read!

Fuck I hate clowns the circus kind and the dead beat losers on dating apps that waste my time. This thriller was fun but predictable. The best part the author did in this novel is the relationship between the women friends, their jokes, their banter, and the wild way we share everything with the ones we are close with. There is not enough of these types of female friendship I'm novels and I really enjoyed it.
Good read.

I really enjoy Tina's writing and this book was no exception. The storyline moves fast, and there’s an underlying tension that keeps you paying attention even during the lighter moments. Tina blends the fun with a sharper edge, and that balance made this a really engaging read for me.
The book club gals were one of my favorite parts. Their dynamic, their support, and their chaotic energy shone through!
I also appreciated the quick nods to other authors throughout — little touches that made the world feel connected and intentional.
And seeing the Dateline App again was such a treat. I loved it in The Dateline Diaries anthology, so having it pop back up here felt like a wink to returning readers. Like it was our little secret.
But what really stood out is how the book never lets you forget there’s a thriller underneath it all. The tension, the unease, the sense that something isn’t quite right — it’s woven in just enough to keep you alert without overshadowing the character moments I loved.
Overall, it’s a fun, fast read, and I genuinely enjoyed the experience.

No More Dates had me laughing out loud one minute and side-eyeing in the best way the next. It definitely gave me some dark romance vibes at times, and honestly… it brings a whole new meaning to “F** the police” 👀
I loved how fast-paced it was. There was no dragging, no fluff, just straight into the chaos in the most fun way possible. It was such a quick, addictive read and completely pulled me out of a reading slump.
If you’re looking for something funny, a little unhinged, slightly anxiety-inducing (in a good way), and impossible to put down—don’t sleep on this one!! 🔥📖

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.

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.

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?
