The house that shot the movie she was killed in when she was a teen and now she is afraid for her daughter. So she must go back to return to that past. The book referenced so many horror movies in the past and I enjoyed that aspect. I felt this would be a perfect movie as well. However, for me reading it lacked that atmospheric ominous feeling you need for a thriller. It read flat for me and even the twist at the end wasn’t one that I expected but it wasn’t built up enough for me to care. Like I said, as a movie, this would and could be translated well on the screen. Thank you Sourcebooks and NetGalley for my gifted copy to read and review.

The island is without cell service or power and police presence is scarce. Now Lexi’s life will turn into a real life horror movie as she reckons with her past and someone who wants the director and cast of Breathless dead. While the ending was a bit of a stretch for me, I loved that this was an homage to slasher films! Thanks to Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Always the First to Die is scheduled for release on September 13, 2022.

"For fans of Riley Sager with a classic slasher twist, Always the First to Die follows a former horror movie actress as she returns to the set of her most iconic film, only to find that the strange circumstances begin to resemble the plot of her most famous film. After her husband's death, Lexi has refused to return to the Pinecrest Estate on the Florida Keys, too many hard memories on that strip of land. Memories of meeting her husband on the set of an iconic horror movie. Of being cast as an extra, of watching herself get killed on screen. And of scoffing at the rumors of the Pinecrest Estate "curse," until she witnessed a cast member die that very summer. But when her daughter sneaks away to visit her grandfather, legendary horror movie director Rick Plummer, Lexi is forced to face her past. That's when a Category Four hurricane changes course, and hits the southern coast. Unable to get through to her daughter, Lexi drives to the Keys in the wake of the storm. What she finds is an island without cell service, without power, and with limited police presence. A desolate bit of land, with only a few remaining behind: the horror director, the starlet once cast as the final girl, the young teenager searching for clues of her father, the mother determined to get off the island, and...the person picking them off one-by-one. Soon enough Lexi's life begins to resemble Rick's most famous horror film, and she must risk her life to save her daughter before someone, or something, destroys them all"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
