CATFISHED: When The Perfect Match Is Too Good To Be True
When you thought it was a love story
Mr. Perfect catches you
Hook, line, and sinker.
And now you can't escape.
You just fell for the oldest trick on the internet.
Eddie's post says he's searching for a soulmate to live the off grid dream.
I was in need of a change, and down for an adventure.
But when I visit the remote property, everything is over-grown and buzzing with heat and rot.
Eddie isn't who he claimed to be—he doesn't even look the same.
But I made excuses. Told myself he was just tired. Or camera-shy. Or bad with first impressions.
And then I found the RV.
Blistering in the sun, stinking of mildew and something worse.
Cate and Bryan. That was the couple's name. He mentioned they'd stayed for a while, said they "moved on,".
But their clothes are still inside. Their toothbrushes. A coffee mug with a lipstick stain.
They never came back for any of it.
Eddie's life is not as it appeared online. Things out here on his isolated homestead are strange. His stories are becoming more complicated. It's not what I was expecting at all, it's... unsettling.
But who am I to judge? I know how childhood trauma can echo through adult life. The messy grief, the unanswered questions, the contradictions that make us human... If that's what we're dealing with, I think I can handle most of that.
And I can't quite resist the temptation to keep digging into what is really going on here.
Because I didn't tell Eddie everything, either. This time, I was careful. I played down my past. I let him think I was sweet, green, maybe even a little helpless. I wanted to be new in his eyes. Untouched. The kind of woman who could be adored without suspicion.
I'm starting to realize that Eddie is hiding some very dark secrets.
And then a violent hurricane traps us.
Eddie has a reason for everything. He's always gentle. Always just this side of reasonable. But now, he keeps finding ways to stop me from leaving—injuries, weather, guilt, love.
Before I know it, Edie has a strangle hold on my daily life—and he won't let me go home.
I don't know which parts are manipulation and which parts are madness.
All I know is this: something is very wrong here. And if I don't figure it out soon...
Perfect for fans of psychological suspense, thrilling mysteries, and tales of deception and self-discovery, CATFISHED is a gripping blend of mystery, psychological suspense, and slow-burning terror—a chilling exploration of obsession, haunting themes of identity, and the stories we tell to survive. Perfect for readers who love a Dark psychological novel like Gillian Flynn books like Sharp Objects, of thriller books Freida McFadden books like Never Lie, Jeneva Rose books like You Shouldn't Have Come Here,
Lisa Jewell None of This is True and The Night She Disappeared, Ruth Ware books like One Perfect Couple and One by One, or Colleen hoover's books like Verity, and the Twisted Series by Ana Huang.
