INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“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?

For fans of Love in the Time of Serial Killers and Butcher & Blackbird, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates is one killer love story.

Hilarious&Riveting

Couldn't stop listening to this book. It was scary good and so compelling. I laughed and scoffed, sighed and held my breath all throughout this book. To to all that off, it's sexy a heck to boot. A+++

It definitely kept me on my toes. Some parts were a little out there however I enjoyed it and listened it in under a week

Some things were predictable but not so much that I didn’t still
Enjoy it! It was overall a good boom

Lots of plot holes

Interesting concept, but just wish it was MORE rom com and maybe more storyline AFTER the event.

Horror Rom-Com…. Yes please!

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The title caught my eye because How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is one of my favorite movies.

I agree with another reader who said this would be a fun movie to watch.

The chapter horror/rom-com quote mashups made me laugh. Overall I felt it was a fun listen.

How to Kill A Listener in the first 10 chapters

I just thought this book went on forever. I thought the title was catchy, but Killer Rom Com not a fan of. At times it just seems cheesy and just not my cup of tea. I loved the references of what happens in a horror movie and how it match up to the killings in the book. That is the only thing I really liked.
