Description: The Blonde Dies First by Joelle Wellington Seventeen-year-old Devon, her twin sister, and her friends face a demonic force who seemingly follows horror movie tropes, propelling the group to flip the script and use their horror movie knowledge in order to survive. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A group of friends fight to choose their own fates when faced with a demonic force that acts according to horror movie rules in this trope-savvy, "script-flipping hair-raiser" (Publishers Weekly) from the acclaimed author of Their Vicious Games. Devon is always being left behind by her genius twin sister, Drew. At this point, its a fact of life. But Devon has one last plan before Drew leaves for college a whole year early--The Best Summer Ever. After committing to the bit a little too much, the twins and their chaotic circle of friends learn why you dont ever mess with a Ouija board if you want to actually survive the Best Summer Ever, and soon find themselves being hunted down by...a demon? But while theres no mistaking the creeping, venomous figure is not from around here, their method doesnt feel very demonic at all. In fact, its downright human--going after them in typical slasher movie kill order. And that means Devon, the blonde, is up first and her decade-long crush, Yaya, is the Final Girl who must kill or be killed to end the cycle. Devon has never liked playing by anyone elses rules though, not even a demons, and the longer this goes on, the more she feels Drew and Yaya slipping away from her even as she tries to help them all survive. Can they use their horror movie knowledge to flip the script and become the hunters instead of the hunted? Or will their best summer ever be their last?

Review * "As self-aware as the horror is, the story feels authentic in the details of the Brooklyn neighborhood and its slow gentrification, and in the complex relationships among the diverse group--particularly Devons and Drews tumultuous but loving dynamic. A gory good time with heart."--Booklist Starred Review "6/1/24""A hell of a ride! The Blonde Dies First is loud, giddy, and gory--giving the slasher story an ingenious spin and taking its place alongside genre faves like Scream and Jennifers Body. Clear your schedule. You wont be able to put it down." ---- Circe Moskowitz, author of Good Mourning and editor of All These Sunken Souls"In keeping the stakes high and the twists coming, Wellington (Their Vicious Games) deftly dismantles horror genre cliches in a script-flipping hair-raiser that pointedly examines gentrifications impact on communities....the story sizzles with fully drawn protagonists, complex relationships, and slow-burn romance."--Publishers Weekly "April 2024" Details ISBN1665922451 Publisher Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781665922456 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-07-30 Imprint Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers Audience Teenage / Young adult Audience Age 14-17 Pages 336 DEWEY FIC Author Joelle Wellington We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
