The Casual Date: A Gripping Psychological Thriller
First published 2025
He only wanted something casual. What he got was a living nightmare. Freshly divorced, Ethan Hall relocates to a quiet mountain town in Northern California to be near his eleven-year-old son. It’s a far cry from the chaos of Los Angeles—and a lonely place for an outsider. Looking to ease the isolation, Ethan tries online dating for the first time. He’s upfront about what he wants: nothing serious, just casual, no-strings-attached companionship. But when one of his dates becomes obsessed, things take a dark turn—and Ethan and his family are suddenly caught in the grip of a deadly love triangle. The Casual Date is a chilling psychological thriller about trust, obsession, and the terrifying consequences of letting the wrong person in. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Kiersten Modglin, and John Marrs.
