Overview
Una novela romántica divertida, apasionante y francamente trepidante en la que una joven se ve envuelta en una serie de asesinatos durante un evento de citas rápidas y debe recurrir a su enciclopédico conocimiento del género de terror para convertirse en la última superviviente de la vida real.
Cuando la entusiasta del cine de terror Jamie Prescott acude a un evento de citas rápidas, sabe qué esperar: mediocridad y echarse unas risas. Lo que jamás hubiera previsto es que a uno de sus acompañantes le cortaran el cuello durante un apagón. Ni que, cuando volvieran las luces, hubiera más cadáveres en el suelo y las puertas estuvieran cerradas con llave.
Pertrechados con armas improvisadas y el amplio conocimiento de Jamie sobre lo que NO se debe hacer en una película de terror, el grupo de supervivientes intenta encontrar una salida mientras el asesino los acecha. Sin embargo, a medida que avanza la noche y Jamie se encuentra «cara a máscara» con el criminal, comienza a sospechar que este está cometiendo los asesinatos para cortejar a una de las participantes y convertirla en una su «chica final» en la vida real.
Nada acelera el amor tanto como el peligro y, a pesar de las consecuencias potencialmente mortales, Jamie se ve envuelta en un triángulo amoroso con dos de los otros supervivientes. ¿Conseguirá sobrevivir al derramamiento de sangre para disfrutar de su «felices para siempre»? ¿O logrará encontrar antes este psicópata su media naranja a golpe de machete?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“A delightful celebration of rom-coms, slasher flicks, and the women who love them.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
A humorous, swoony, and downright terrifying slasher rom-com 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 romance and horror genres to make it as a real-life Final Girl.
When Jamie Prescott and her best friend Laurie attend a speed-dating event, Jamie expects to meet a roster of mediocre men and indulge in some street food afterwards. She doesn’t expect one of her dates to have his throat slit at their table during a blackout. After the lights come back on and there are more bodies on the floor, it becomes clear that dating can be a very dangerous pastime.
Armed with makeshift weapons and Jamie’s extensive knowledge of what NOT to do in a slasher, the remaining speed daters try to find an exit while the killer adds to their body count. As the night progresses and Jamie comes face-to-mask with the murderer, she begins to suspect they are committing the slayings to woo one of the daters and turn them into a real-life Final Girl. But Jamie has other plans, and as she fights for her life, she can’t help but find herself ensconced in a love triangle with two of the other survivors. Will she make it through the bloodshed to find her Happily Ever After? Or does this machete-wielding psychopath have another ending in mind?
