Happy Tuesday bookish pals! Thank you Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the DRC of Final Cut by Olivia Worley. It comes out October 28.
Final Cut follows recent high school grad & aspiring actress Haze as she goes back to her small hometown of Pine Springs. She’s landed the lead role in a low budget horror movie shooting there. Haze hasn’t lived there since she was three years old - when the Pine Springs massacre occurred. Her father, a popular high school teacher, was convicted of murdering five students. Haze soon finds herself in a real life horror movie when strange things start happening and cast members begin to die. Here’s the summary from the publisher.
This was such a fun romp! It has all the slasher movie tropes - the final girl, a budding romance, a masked killer, creepy characters, and teens making tons of impulsive bad decisions. It also has enough twists and turns to go along with the mystery aspect of the plot to keep you guessing. The characters are typical of a teen slasher. There’s the determined final girl, the cute guy who might be hiding secrets of his own, the sassy sidekick, and the nerdy guy. The plot moves along at a quick pace and it’s got enough slasher scenes to keep any horror fan happy. This is an all round entertaining and engaging story that will hook you with the likable characters, creepy atmospheric setting, witty dialogue, and jump scares galore. The novel is aimed at teen readers, but older readers who love slashers will enjoy it too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you were cast in a slasher movie what character trope would you be? The final girl? The sassy sidekick? The slasher?
