Synopsis

Two gay BFFs find their friendship tested when a serial killer starts targeting their school’s Queer Club in this young adult slasher horror story.

“The ultimate modern take on Scream but somehow gayer.”—Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys

“Sass’s hilarious, viciously charming cast will slash their way right into your heart.”—Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hide and Slayer

Dearie and Cole are inseparable, unlikable, and (in bad luck for them) totally unbelievable.

From the day they met, Dearie and Cole have been two against the world. But whenever something bad happens at Stone Grove High School, they get blamed. Why? They’re beautiful, flirtatious, dangerously clever queen bees, and they’re always ready to call out their fellow students. But they’ve never faced a bigger threat than surviving senior year . . . until Mr. Sandman, a famous, never-caught serial killer, emerges from a long retirement—and his hunting ground is their school’s Queer Club.

As evidence and bodies begin piling up and suspicion points at Dearie and Cole, they will have to do whatever it takes to uncover the real killer before they and the rest of Queer Club are taken down. But they’re not getting away from the killer without a fight.

Along the way, they must confront dark truths hidden beneath the surface of their small desert community. When the odds are stacked against them, and every flop they know is a suspect, can Dearie and Cole take down Mr. Sandman before it’s too late? Or will their lonely nights soon be over?

Goodreads review by Monte

I was tentatively excited to pick this up as Sass' debut, Surrender Your Sons [ my review here ], was a surprise hit. While their follow up didn't work for me as much as I would have hoped, this at least was a return to a darker story like the debut. As bad as it feels to call a book about queer peo......more

Goodreads review by TJ

If I have to read the words “bestie” or “flop” again, it’ll be too soon. I love the concepts behind this book, but the execution left a lot to be desired for me. That said, the audiobook was excellent and is how I got through it. I also appreciated that this book wasn’t afraid to be horny and sex po......more
