The Perfect Profile: The Dating App Horrors Series - Book I
How far would you go to save yourself?
Dallas Davenport has always been the smartest in the room—a top-tier medical student with a bright future ahead. But his life begins to unravel when he’s diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that threatens to rob him of his vision. As his world starts to blur, so does his sense of morality. Desperate to hold on to the life he’s worked so hard to build, Dallas discovers an impossible cure—but at a horrifying cost.
Turning to A Dime A Dozen, a popular dating app, Dallas isn’t looking for love—he’s hunting for a victim. That’s when he finds Meagan Laine, a lonely young woman searching for connection. Her perfect profile makes her the perfect vulnerable, defenseless, and completely unaware of the danger she’s walking into.
But as Dallas’s plan unfolds, he becomes entangled in a spiraling web of lies and desperation. With time running out and his vision slipping away, he faces an impossible choice—sacrifice his humanity or lose everything.
The Perfect Profile is a chilling psychological thriller that explores the dark side of survival, the dangers of deception, and the terrifying lengths people will go to when pushed to the edge.

Thank you for allowing me to read this ARC copy! It was so entertaining and enjoyable. I was trying to figure out the storyline and never did! My emotions were everywhere while reading. I need just a wee bit more to the ending…unless a sequel is coming soon.

Wow! This story took me on a wild ride and every time I thought I had it figured out, the story took another unexpected turn. It drew me in from the very beginning & was not predictable at all. The characters are well developed & the tension builds perfectly until the very end, as Toni Larue leaves you wanting more.
This was definitely an amazing start of The Dating App Horror Series & perfect for this Valentine’s season. A must read, but maybe not before your next first date… Better yet, just swipe left!

This was a wild ride and I enjoyed every moment. I wasn’t sure how the hell he was going to pull this off but as the pages kept turning .. WHEW. The lengths people will go to for their own selfish gain.
This was a well written and very well paced novella. Toni was able to keep the tension going, keep the story interesting while still delivering us all the history we needed to get into the characters psyches. Though there were grotesque details, this wasn’t about shock value, the plot was GOOD & everything fell into place by the end.
The ending was unexpected for me, my intial thought was “you’ve got to be kidding me, no way” but … yes, yes way 😭
This was an excellent start to the Dating App Horror series!

Questionable morals
The characters in this story had questionable morals which made for an interesting read. Desperation made people do things they never expected. However, some had long embraced their dark side and used desperation as a cloak to express it. A good book that’s worth the read.

I enjoyed reading this thriller. There were some unexpected twists and it was obvious that Dallas was willing to do whatever it took to get what he wanted! It was also interesting to read how far Gemini was willing to go to keep Dallas in her life. There were a few parts of the story I felt were overdeveloped like parts about the detective’s life and some parts underdeveloped like with Dallas’ mother for example. Overall an enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to read the remainder of the series!

An Amazing Thriller!
I just read an amazing thriller with a twist and ending I was not expecting! A medical student so desperate for restoring his vision does the unthinkable!

desperation can be a sick catalyst for evil. the details in Dallas’ backstory, combined with the drama, create a well-rounded story of deadly descent. entertaining

the question i want to know is, how do these authors be coming up with these stories? it was disturbing, but it was also very good. i was a little confused at first, though the first 3 chapters, but once everything started to come together i was like “what the” Dallas had to do what he had to do, but at the same time i was like “man you’re going to get caught” the characters was well developed, and i loved how every chapter was so good that i couldn’t put it down. i can’t wait to finish this series, i already know it’s going to be good just like this one..but you will NEVER catch me on that damn dating app “a dime a dozen” i rather meet my lover IN PERSON😭 this might be one of the craziest thrillers i’ve read in AWHILEEE..i can’t believe Dallas did that to the victims, i know we might not get a part two..but i want to know if the detective solved the case or not, and i want to see what Gemini going to do with them next victim.. but with that being said, this was a good book and i recommend. this was my first book by this author, and it won’t be my last i’ll definitely check out my catalog.

It’s All In The Eyes
Dear Toni Larue,
Dallas was an entire mess. I can’t believe he was in these streets acting like this. I mean, I guess in his defense he did try to go about it the “right” way before taking matters into his own hands BUT I’m still giving him the side eye (get it? Side EYE😂).
And Gem… FRAUD! Because baby she did not practice what she preached! I’m in here screaming like COME ON SIS!
Anybody with pretty eyes is a hard NO for me. You just can’t trust em chile. 🤦🏾♀️😂
This was a really good fast paced read that kept my attention the entire time. I thought they had his behind but he was slick. And MOM!👀 Listen… the things you will do to save your child are endless.
I loved this book and I can’t wait to read the others in the series.
You’re not on punishment, and we can be play cousins again. 😂

I was hooked once I realized the MMC's motive and learned more about his educational background. That's when I knew this story was about to take me somewhere unexpected. The Perfect Profile had me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out what was coming next. The plot twist was wild. The combination of desperation and a love spell driven twist madness.
Now, I do have one lingering question about the FMC's actions at the end, particularly when it comes to the dating app. I'm still not entirely clear on what her actions were meant. Did she start adopting his ways? I think that's what happened, but I would have loved a little more clarity on that part. Overall, this was a suspenseful, twisty read that kept me engaged and had me questioning everything.

Toni! Ms. Larue! Thank you so much for letting me be an ARC reader for book 1 in this series. Loved it! This was the perfect story, just in time for Valentine’s Day. What better way to show your love than with a weird love story, kind of, a little bit. But in a creepy way, creepy in a good way, the good kind of creepy. This book will keep you on your toes, wondering what’s next, thinking “where they do that at”, and it’s always the fine ones. This will have you thinking twice before you swipe left or right… just delete, block, throw the whole app away after reading this! Stay single!

A dating app, but make it the “black market”. When you are out of options and taking a life saves yours you get this chilling story. 😩
The amount of times I cussed, gasped and simply shook my head! I was literally on the EDGE of my seat the entire time!
Every time I felt like someone would get caught and Justice would be served? SIKE! This was a wild ride, a page turner and a good start to the series.
The things people will do to get what they need is WILD! I’m ready to dive into the others.
This was my first read by the author and I LOVED it!

Thank you Toni Larue and the ladies of BWW for this amazing ARC.
New to me author.
Honey, the ending had me like “well damn i didn’t see that coming.” I truly thought i knew what was going to happen.
Dallas isn’t new to being a little sinister. So now that it comes to the matter of his health along with his career being jeopardize, he takes things in his own hands with ease. While others go on dating apps for a hook up or love, Dallas is stalking his way to keep his future intact. He won’t let anyone get in his way. You got to be more careful out there folks 🤣.
This a good balance of suspense/thriller to keep one guessing and thinking “oh hell naw!”

Good
I knew from the first two words of the prologue which is my favorite that I would be hooked! 😂 The story had so many twists and turns, it was crazy! 🤯 Nothing like a great experiment ending. In the words of Toni herself, "Don't ever trust a man who makes you drink alone." 😉 I highly recommend this book—you won't be disappointed!

Toni Larue, I am sat!!!
This is my first book from her and I am immediately a fan. She rights unhinged characters VERY WELL.
I was entertained by this short read from the plot to the characters to not knowing how it was going to end.
The concept was entertaining.
The pacing was enjoyable.
This is book I of a series and I’m already ready for the next!

I received this book as an ARC and Toni didn’t disappoint. I read it in one sitting!! This was my first time reading one of her books. I enjoyed her writing style and the plot of the story was crazyyyyy. I was rooting for Gem and Dallas in a kinda sick and twisted way 🫣 I do wish there was more detail on Dallas and Megan as that piece felt a little rushed. But overall the story was very thorough and had great impact for such a short read.

a real thriller
This one was a wild ride! Dallas backstory was very sad, but that doesn’t excuse the depths he went to correct the effects of the debilitating disease that was taking his eyesight. Gemini’s camaraderie was…Something. A happy ending, in a sadistic way.

Really, REALLY liked it!!
I wouldn't be like Gemini, but at the same time I understand where she is coming from. It would've played out differently with me. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my first Toni Larue, she kept me on my toes and kept my cemented thought of no dating apps for me. Whew baby no. The connections make sense to me.

I received the arc copy of this book. This story had so many twists and turns until the very end. I look forward to see how this story will continue.

Wow!!! This was another thrilling horrific story of the repercussions of online dating. Seriously the assignment is clear and noted. In addition to norms of wanting to find a match in hopes it leads to true love happily ever after or… something to rub up against there are some who have more pressing objectives to find a match and you need to read this story to SEE what I’m talking about hahaha.
February 15, 2025
This was beyond crazy however I enjoyed every moment! Dallas moves with purpose to accomplish his true desires 🥹

3.5 ⭐️ How in the world Toni had me rooting for the killer in the end?! Idk.
February 8, 2025
Ms. Larue ? Come to front of the class PLEASE ! Ahemmm — MS MA’AM , excuse me ? not the dating app ? not the in broad daylight ? this one had me G O I N G & was the PERFECT kicker to this collab. I don’t wanna give spoilers since this was an ARC but shatttt ! All ima say is ? Watch out for them blue eyed devils 👀💙
February 6, 2025
Ms Larue! What can I even say at this moment?!?! I received my ARC of this book, and my jaw hit the floor multiple times throughout this book! Let's start with Dallas he gave me the vibe of Micheal Ealy, who plays a crazy killer too well for me! Then Gemini, all I can say is that a woman has a strong resolve to help the man she always wanted even at the cost of killing another person for research! As for Mason, he had what was coming to him for being arrogant. Then, Momma Davenport ain't no fool honey she will do whatever it takes to protect her baby boy even if she has to play the role of the mother with dementia! This book was a chefs kiss!
February 11, 2025
Whew....This book was something else. It also says something about myself. I love the friendship that Dallas and Gem have. However, I didn't see coming! It's part of what makes this a 5 star read.
