About
A laugh-out-loud horror romance with a killer twist, perfect for fans of slasher movies, dark romantic comedies, and Final Girl thrillers.
Featuring duet narration.
Jamie Prescott only agreed to attend a speed-dating event because her best friend, Laurie, wouldn't take no for an answer. She expects awkward conversations, questionable pickup lines, and maybe a free drink or two.
She doesn't expect one of her dates to have his throat slit right in front of her.
When a sudden blackout leaves multiple bodies on the floor, the exits locked, and a murderer hiding among the remaining singles, Jamie realizes she's trapped inside a real-life slasher movie.
Luckily, she's spent her entire life obsessing over horror films and romantic comedies. Armed with makeshift weapons, survival instincts, and an encyclopedic knowledge of everything a Final Girl should-and definitely shouldn't-do, Jamie is determined to make it out alive.
But as the body count rises, Jamie begins to suspect the killer isn't just murdering people at random. Someone is orchestrating the perfect horror story-and they're looking for a real-life Final Girl to star in it.
The problem? Jamie can't stop getting distracted by the ridiculously attractive men trapped alongside her.
Especially when one of them might be the killer.
A hilarious, swoony, and genuinely terrifying horror rom-com packed with murder, mayhem, forced proximity, serial-killer suspense, and razor-sharp genre references, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates is the ultimate killer love story. Shailee Thompson is a writer and educator based in Brisbane, Australia. She's always had a penchant for women with smart mouths, soft hearts, and strong wills going up against extraordinary odds. How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates is her debut novel. Find her on Instagram @ShaileeWrites. 'Fresh, funny and criminally addictive. I couldn't put it down!' 'Propulsive and cinematic.' 'The genre meet-cute I didn't know I needed! Slick, sexy and impossible to put down. I tore through this, much like . . . well, you'll see.' 'Alternating romance, peril, chemistry, and gore, this is an absolute romp through movie trivia Easter Eggs and fan-favorite tropes.' 'A genre-blending good time that captures the zeitgeist with its mélange of romantic comedy and horror, movie quotes and Taylor Swift references ... With more than one jump-scare and several potential love interests, the novel's breathless pace ensured that this reviewer read it in one sitting.' 'Thompson clearly understands not just the demands of genre but also its pleasures ... A delightful celebration of rom-coms, slasher flicks, and the women who love them.' 'This thrilling debut romance, with touches of humor, is well-written and excellently plotted, and the many twists and turns keep the killer's identity hidden until the very end.' 'Thompson dextrously balances horror and romance tropes ... It's pure entertainment.'
