'Fresh, funny and criminally addictive' HANNAH GRACE
'I had a blast with this slasher-romance mashup' ALICIA THOMPSON
A hilarious, swoony and downright terrifying slasher rom-com about a movie fanatic who gets caught in the middle of a murder spree at a speed-dating event and must use her encyclopedic knowledge of the romance and horror genres to make it as a real-life Final Girl.
For fans of Love in the Time of Serial Killers, Butcher & Blackbird and anyone who's always wanted to see the perfect mash-up of Scream and nostalgic 00s romantic comedies in a book.
When Jamie's best friend drags her to a speed-dating event, she knows what to expect . . . mediocre men and the opportunity to eat her feelings later. She's not expecting a blackout and for her date to be gruesomely killed at their table. After the lights come back on, Jamie sees more bodies on the floor. Knowing there's strength in numbers, she pulls together a band of would-be survivors to escape.
Armed with makeshift weapons and Jamie's extensive knowledge of what NOT to do in a slasher movie - starting with not splitting up - the group try to find a way out whilst the killer stalks them. But is he simply picking them off or is he playing some sick game to woo one of the daters and turn them into his real-life Final Girl?
Nothing speeds up love like fighting for your life and Jamie somehow finds herself in a love triangle despite the potentially deadly consequences. Has she finally found true love or does the prospect of death via machete-wielding psychopath mean she's already met her match?
