Description

What happens when a horror movie becomes reality? Karen M. McManus meets Scream in this spine-tingling YA horror thriller that cleverly explores themes of race and class.

Devon Harris doesn't have much planned for the summer - until her sister, Drew, invites Devon to a very exclusive private school party.

Out of her element, Devon commits to being game at everything. Even when the private school kids ask her if there are fights at her school. Even when they ask her if her box braids are her real hair. Even when those weird ass kids pull out a Ouija board.

But this seemingly harmless bit of fun has terrible consequences. Something has been released, and only a week later it's hunting Devon, Drew and their friends. Hunting them in an eerily familiar way . . .

The real-life horror movie has begun. The blonde is up first, then the asshole - right up to the Final Girl. Unless the murderous cycle can be broken, they're all going to be next.

In Horrorfilmen gibt es eine Reihenfolge, in der die Protagonist:innen sterben. Und die goldene Regel lautet: The Blonde dies first!

Mir hat die Freundesgruppe um Devon und Drew richtig gut gefallen! Der Horroraspekt hat hervorragend in das New Yorker Setting gepasst, auch wenn es für mich nicht wirklich zum Gruseln war. Aber alles in allem ein soldies Buch mit toller Queer Repräsentation.

Fast-paced, campy, supernatural Teen Horror Adventure. Loved the diverse representation in the friend group and their distinct personalities. I found myself almost more interested in their characters arc than in the story. It was quick and fun and I liked the overachieving story even if it was a bit predictable at times.
