Blind Date

  In this blog post, I reviewed Wendy Clarke’s Blind Date. This dark psychological thriller is so twisted, enough to make your head spin right after you finish. For Melanie Abbott, a DJ presenter at a morning radio host, it all started for her when she’s been moved to the ll; ate Night shift and taking over the recent host. She’s been warned about it, though it intrigued her to her those Midnight Confessions from the callers. To make maters worse, her ex had moved on with his latest girlfriend and wanted her to move into their home. So she needed to move out and to find out a place of her own. To cheer her up, her two friends and co-workers, Chris and Simon, wanted to take her out and treat her while Chris wanted to set her up on a blind date with somebody. When she decided to do that, she met Malik, though he wasn’t her “blind date”. Their chemistry was off the charts when it was most than lust at first sight. He had something dark and disturbing about him. Strange things had happened to her while she worked at the radio station including a regular caller named “Natalie”, who she might’ve had a strange connection with, even when she took it off air. Things got complicated with Malik’s dark moods and how her co-workers acted strangely toward her including menacing threats and text messages. That’s when she brought the police in to investigate while a ruthless caller wanted her to “confess” her own sin. And in the end, when things couldn’t have gotten better for her in a normal routine, it had a dark shocking twist of its own.

This psychological thriller is dark, twisted, and spine-tingling, that would keep you up all night.  I cared for Melanie on how she’d gotten over her way with Malik and how she’d gotten too attached to “Natalie.” I became a bit wary of Malik, Chris, Nathan, and Simon altogether. They all acted strange toward her to keep me guessing who was the true culprit.  The locations set around London in and around itself was idealistic and picture perfect, day or night. The theme of the story is be careful on who you tell your dark secrets to before it would be revealed to others.

This twisted psychological thriller will send you chills right after you finish reading. I couldn’t find anything to nitpick on. I rated this book, four out of five stars for no reason. If you love dark psychological thrillers will twists and turns that would keep you all night with non-stop action, plenty of dramatic suspense, and lots of gasping surprises, Blind Date is the perfect book for you. This book is recommended for those who love dark psychological thrillers and goose-pimpling drama movies and TVs.
