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.

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. 😂

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.

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.
February 15, 2025
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 🥹
March 13, 2025
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 10, 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.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 by Toni Larué is a page-turning, mind-blowing, fast paced, psychological thriller with lots of twists and turns that will have the reader questioning their sanity and their moral center.
This was my first Toni Larué read, and I honestly did not know what to expect. I expected horror and thrill, but honestly, I got so much more!
This was an extraordinary read. It was so good that I was able to read it all in just one sitting. Predictable, it was not. Think you have your morals, values, and principles in check, think again. The antagonist in this book had me questioning myself at every turn. I loved how the author wrote the characters. The characters were written with depth and layers. Everyone was flawed, complicated, messy; I would dare to say, morally grey. You as a reader are disgusted by their actions, but you can understand why they make the decisions they make. You ask yourself: “Would I do the same in this situation?” “The MMCs decent into madness, could this be me?” I loved that aspect of the story because we as humans, think we are so great, and good, but are we really? How far would you be willing to go when pushed to the edge and have no other way out? Would you sacrifice yourself, your future, for the one you love? How much does it take to turn an ordinary person into a monster?
I will not say too much because I do not want to spoil this must-read thriller, but the ending, MY GOODNESS! My mouth hit the floor. I was not expecting this ending. Though this read took me on a ride, had my heart beating, my brow sweating, and my pulse racing, I thought for sure I had the ending down pact. I thought I knew how this would end, and boy was I wrong…. and I LOVED IT! So unexpected, yet VERY satisfying!
I would 100% recommend this read. If you are stuck in rut, need something fast that will get your heart rate going; need some good old thrill, this one is for you. Want to read an unpredictable book with lots of twists and turns, but don’t want anything too grotesque or “scary,” this one is definitely for you! I think any, and all readers would enjoy 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞.
As I stated above, this was my first read by Toni Larué, but it will definitely not be my last!
This was my honest review of an Advanced Reader’s Copy of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞. Thank you Toni Larué and 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫/𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫/𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing ARC team.

ARC BOOK REVIEW: "THE PERFECT PROFILE" BY TONI LARUÉ 🔥📖
Alright y’all, I received an ARC of The Perfect Profile by Toni Larué, and I’m so glad I did because whew, let me tell you—it was a ride! 😳🎢 This book had me side-eyeing my phone like, maybe I don’t need to be on these apps after all! 👀📱💀 Toni Larué takes online dating to a whole new level of hell nah 😭🚩 with this chilling, twisty thriller that proves sometimes the perfect match is anything but safe. 😈🔪
📌 Synopsis:
Meet Dallas Davenport—a brilliant medical student 🏥📚 with a bright future. Except, life isn’t playing fair. His vision is failing fast, and with no cure in sight, he’s desperate. Enter “A Dime a Dozen”, a popular dating app 💕📲 where love is just a swipe away—or in Dallas’ case, a target. 🎯 As he builds the perfect profile, he’s not just looking for a date—he’s hunting for the right woman, at the right time, with no one to miss her when she disappears. 😨🚷
Meanwhile, Gemini Brown, Dallas’ best friend and fellow medical student, is starting to sense that something about him isn’t adding up. 🧐💭 Gemini is the kind of friend who will ride for you—but will also call you out on your BS. 🚗💨👊🏾 She’s the only one who really knows Dallas—at least, she thinks she does. But what happens when the person you trust the most might be the one keeping the darkest secrets? 😨💔
Dallas is giving Black Joe Goldberg energy 🖤🧐, but with a sharper edge—because he’s not stalking for love; he’s stalking for survival. ⚰️ And Gemini? She’s got some secrets of her own. 👀🔦
💭 My Thoughts:
This book is wild. 😵💫 It’s dark, it’s messy, and it’s the kind of story that makes you rethink every stranger who’s ever slid into your DMs. 🚨📩 Larué doesn’t just craft a psychological thriller—she throws you headfirst into a Dating App Horror Story that feels way too real. 😱💔

💥 The characters? Whew, layered. 😮💨

I've heard many stories about the dangers of meeting people on dating apps - I've heard great things too - but it's the really disturbing stories that stick with you. The Perfect Profile is one of those disturbing stories. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that this incredibly handsome man, main character Dallas, is up to something so sinister that swiping right on him could literally be the last thing you do. And this part is so unsettling because that's what makes you drop your guard, he checked all of the boxes! The plot is so original that I have to send big kudos to the author for stepping out of the box and taking it someplace I never could have guessed. This is probably one of her darkest works yet and I can't wait to see what's next! Be careful out there, those pretty eyes will fool ya every time!!!
(Note: I am listed as author but I actually wrote only Book 4 in this series, I did not have anything to do with Book 1, which was written by Toni Larue'. I read this for the first time just like everyone else, lol. Just wanted to clarify!)

Yes, this read certainly had me stuck from start to finish! The lengths people will go to when they feel like they’ve reached their breaking point are insane, and this book shows just how dangerous desperation and obsession can be.
Taking a chance on a dating app is always a little risky, but after this? I might just stay single forever! Because if there’s even a chance that someone like Dallas exists out there, I want no parts! The fear of losing everything can push people to make choices they don’t even realize will change their lives forever. And when love is on the line, it can make you cross boundaries you never even knew existed.
Toni Larue did her thing with this one. The suspense had me turning pages like my life depended on it, and the way the tension built up was crazy. The way this story unfolds will have you second-guessing every interaction you’ve ever had on a dating app. If you love thrillers that keep you on edge and make you rethink your entire life, this is the book for you!

The Perfect Profile
Damn it, Dallas!!
With these kind of odds, being single doesn’t seem that bad. Dallas is an attractive and intelligent medical student. His problems stem from his deteriorating eyesight and demented mind. He refuses to accept the hand he has been dealt. Instead, he chooses to do the unthinkable.
While what Dallas does is unfathomable, I am more upset with Gemini. I won’t spoil anything, but Gemini’s delusions and blurred lines when it comes to her relationship with Dallas is dangerously bad.
This story has the pacing of a true- crime episode. A perfect story to shake up your reading schedule.
Beware of who catches your eyes…shit you just might lose them.
