The Blonde Dies First Kindle Edition Authored By Joelle Wellington

A group of friends fight to choose their own fates in this trope-savvy, self-referential young adult thriller from the acclaimed author of Their Vicious Games. In the spirit of the Scream movies, this story centers around a demonic force that follows horror movie rules.

Devon is used to being overshadowed by her genius twin sister, Drew. With Drew leaving for college a year early, Devon plans one last hurrah—the Best Summer Ever. But when they and their chaotic group of friends mess with a Ouija board, they awaken something that’s not just demonic but also follows the twisted logic of slasher movie rules.

Soon, they find themselves hunted by a creeping, venomous entity that’s far too human in its method—targeting them in typical slasher kill order. Devon, the blonde, is up first, and her decade-long crush, Yaya, is cast as the Final Girl who must either kill or be killed to end the cycle.

Devon has never liked playing by anyone else’s rules, not even a demon’s. As the terrifying game unfolds, she feels Drew and Yaya slipping away, even as she struggles 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 become their last?

In this thrilling blend of suspense and self-awareness, survival hinges on whether they can rewrite their own horror story before it’s too late. 📚❤️
