a fun YA horror read

“ ‘If you don't come with me, I might die.' Those were the last words my sister ever said to me.” Nerdy horror movie lover Alice watches her sister's murder on Halloween night in a corn maze. One year later, she's set to testify against the accused but before she can take the stand, a Sidney Prescott look-a-like knocks her unconscious in the bathroom of the courthouse. Alice is transported back to the night of the murder and the clock starts ticking. Can she figure out who the killer really is before midnight and also save her sister? HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR MURDER is a fun YA horror book. The pace keeps up well throughout with some twists and turns that culminate in a surprising ending. Tons of horror/slasher movie references litter this book, so if you're a movie buff, you'll likely find extra enjoyment. The book reads a lot like a movie – I was yelling at the book in my head… “don't do that” or “don't go in there” and it felt the same as reacting to a movie. I'm not super huge into horror movies but still knew almost all the references so things made sense. Someone who is not a movie watcher at all may lose some of the context. There's definitely a nostalgic feel. Some parts felt predictable but not so much that it ruined the book for me overall. I found HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR MURDER to be a fun horror read and would recommend to those looking for a YA horror book, especially anyone who is a fan of horror/slasher movies.

An entertaining edge-of-your-seat horrorfest

How to Survive Your Murder follows Alice, whose sister Claire was murdered in a Halloween corn maze one year ago. Since the death of her sister Alice's life has fallen apart. Alice is the only witness and is convinced she knows what happened. During the murder trial she hits her head in the bathroom and is suddenly transported back a year. She has only until midnight to figure out the truth behind Claire's murder. As the bodies pile up, Alice realizes that she did not know her friends and family as well as she had thought. Alice is a horror super nerd, so the slasher films of the 90s are referenced heavily making this book fun and nostalgic. I liked Alice's character and sense of humor. I loved the premise and all the twists and turns taken by the story. I did not guess the killer until close to the end. There were some glaring plot holes and an ending that was unsettling, but it is a horror novel after all. How to Survive Your Murder is an entertaining, edge-of-your-seat horrorfest arriving just in time for the spooky season. Thank you to BookishFirst for a copy to review.

Not For Me

Alice Lawrence is the sole witness in her sister's murder trial. Claire was a beautiful all-American theater star. Alice was the nerd who would rather watch horror movies at home than go to parties. Despite being so different, Claire and Alice were best friends and bonded by sisterhood. Until Claire was killed. Alice's life has fallen apart in the year since Claire's murder. Her parents are no longer together, her new apartment smells, and she has to face her sister's killer in a courtroom full of people who don't believe what Alice says she saw in that corn maze a year ago. On the first day of the trial, Alice is knocked out in the bathroom. She wakes up to discover that it is Halloween night the year prior, the same night Claire was killed. Alice has until midnight to find the killer and save her sister before another victim is killed. I know that this one is labeled as young-adult but I was hoping that it was still good enough for adults but I was disappointed. It was too juvenile for me and I wasn't a fan of the ending.
