When cinephile Jamie Prescott attends a speed-dating event, she expects to meet some mediocre men and have a laugh - she doesn't expect one of her dates to have his throat slit at her table during a blackout. When the lights come back on, there are more bodies on the floor and the doors are locked. Armed with makeshift weapons and her extensive knowledge of what not to do in a slasher, Jamie must figure out how to make it out of the building alive. But as the night progresses, she begins to suspect the killer is committing the slayings to woo one of the daters. Whatever happened to roses and perfume? And why can't Jamie stay focused on the important thing here, which is obviously not getting murdered, instead of being distracted by a few hot guys? Especially if one of those hot guys happens to be the bad guy ... Oops.

Jamie’s review

Spoiler-Free Review

What a delightful and horrifying time this was! Not my typical brand of book, but I was freaking SAT for this. Kept me guessing until the end. It also helped that the main character's name is Jamie 🫶🏼

Jamie loves rom-coms and also horror/slasher films, but never expected to find herself in the latter after attending a speed dating event with her bestie, Laurie.

It's slasher so it's over the top gore, but it's also somehow funny? Fear but also hope? Suspicion but also…. arousal? What a conundrum 😂
