They call him Lover Boy. A masked killer targeting the worst offenders in the world of modern dating—scammers, manipulators, heartbreakers—anyone who treats love like a disposable game. One by one, his victims are found dead, and no one knows who he’ll choose next.
Independent journalist February Ferreira isn’t looking for romance—she’s chasing a story. Through NewsE, the subscription-based platform that turns freelancers into press, Feb uncovers a chilling link between the murders and a rising dating app called E-ros. Its creator, reclusive tech genius Cecil Church, insists his algorithm is the only one capable of building real, lasting relationships. But with his user base shrinking and the police shutting him out, Cecil turns to Feb for help tracking the killer.
As the investigation deepens, Feb learns every victim had secrets—and every lead loops back to E-ros. With the line between love and obsession blurring, she begins to suspect the killer isn’t just punishing ‘bad daters.’ He’s rewriting the rules of romance itself.
Darkly satirical and razor sharp, Lover Boy is a slasher for the digital age—perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes, Grady Hendrix, and Gillian Flynn.
