R.G. Belsky & Bonnie Traymore

An exciting and genuine page-turner!

Swipe, a new psychological thriller, is an exciting and genuine page-thriller by R. G. Belsky and Bonnie Traymore that absolutely grabbed me from the start and refused to let go. When an ill-conceived confrontation with a cheating husband masquerading as an eligible bachelor goes sideways, a young woman flees an accident scene rather than call 911 for assistance. While she is sweating it out, wondering if the police are going to show up on her doorstep, across town, an online journalist working on a lifestyle story about dating apps inadvertently stumbled upon the story and begins to speculate about the police’s acceptance of its accidental nature. 

Sonya kicks off the story with a shocking confession. Her actions start out, if not innocently enough, at least with good intentions, colored with a dose of retribution. However, she’s naïve to think her pseudo-vigilante actions will make a difference. 

Told from dual points of view, those of Sonya and Jake, readers are privy to the inside track of their thoughts and emotions. Their backstories are slowly revealed, giving additional layers to the narrative and what drives them to enter into a dating app. As the story unfolded, the authors kept me on the edge of my seat with plot twists and turns. But honestly, the breathtaking opening of the book floored me, and I was riveted to my reading chair for the rest of the evening as the drama played out. 

With its stunning beginning and relatable characters, I recommend SWIPE to readers who enjoy psychological thrillers.
