‘Fresh, funny and criminally addictive’ HANNAH GRACE‘I had a blast with this slasher-romance mashup’ ALICIA THOMPSONFor 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 expects mediocre men and an opportunity to eat her feelings later. What she doesn't expect is a blackout and for her date to be gruesomely killed at their table. After the lights come on, she sees only more bodies and a group of survivors she suspects the killer could be amongst. Like every slasher movie she's ever watched and studied, Jamie knows that the rules of making it out alive are simple: don't split up and definitely don't have sex. But that's easier said than done when she finds herself caught in a love triangle with two dangerously attractive strangers. Nothing speeds up love like fighting for your life and if Jamie's going to get out in one piece, she'll have to figure out who's playing for her heart and who's playing to kill.Speed Dating Trope SheetFatal flirtingTrapped together in a nightclubChoose the survivorReaders are OBSESSED with this killer love story‘This felt like if Scream was a love story and I’m so here for it!’‘The suspense, the romance, the fear . . .
