How to Survive Your Murder is a YA thriller with ample horror movie references. It is twisty and well paced, and if you are a horror flick fan this will hit a lot of spots for you.
I think this book is great, it just wasn't exactly the book for me because I don't love movies so many of the references flew over my head. I did suspect two of the major twists before they happened, but the final twist properly shocked me. This may be five stars for you if you like a fast YA thriller with movie nods.
