About the book...
A hilarious, swoony and downright terrifying horror romance in which a cinephile gets caught in the middle of a murder spree at a speed-dating event and must use her encyclopedic knowledge of the rom-com and horror genres to make it as a real-life Final Girl.
When Jamie Prescott attends a speed-dating event at the behest of her best friend, Laurie, she expects to meet a roster of mediocre men and have a few laughs. She doesn’t expect one of her dates to have his throat slit at their table during a blackout.
When the lights come back on, there are more bodies on the floor, the doors are locked, and there’s a murderer among them. So much for a fun night.
Armed with makeshift weapons and her extensive knowledge of what NOT to do in a slasher, Jamie must figure out how the hell she and Laurie will make it out of the building alive. But as the night progresses, Jamie begins to suspect the killer is committing the slayings to woo one of the women and turn them into a real-life Final Girl. Whatever happened to roses and perfume?
And why can’t Jamie stay focused on the important thing here, which is obviously not to get murdered, instead of being distracted by a hot guy or two? Especially if one of those hot guys happens to be the bad guy?
Oops.
