About The Casual Date: A Gripping Psychological Thriller

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. Inspired by true events.
