Two outcasts fall in love at summer camp. Will their romance be slashed by a masked killer?
On a North Idaho lakeshore stands a cheery summer camp built on the bones of an old mining settlement with a dark past. When Amteep High's 1979 senior class goes to Camp Natty, farm girl, Linnea Langenkamp, and computer nerd, Wes Carpenter fall in love at first sight as the jocks and cheerleaders try to make them miserable.
When Wes forewarns Linnea and her friends about a panty-raid, the jocks attempt to retaliate with a cherry-bomb, which goes off in a mineshaft and awakens a sleeping evil. The morning after Wes and Linnea consummate their love, the first body is found. A storm washes out the bridge and takes out the phone lines, trapping the campers. Then the bloodbath begins.
One by one, teachers and students are massacred in gruesome ways by an unstoppable killer that looks like a man, but isn't. An old miner's diary reveals a supernatural evil that won't stay buried.
Linnea's woodsy knowledge and Wes's techy skills flip their outcast status, putting the unlikely couple as the best line of defense against the killer.
Written in the tradition of summer camp slashers like Friday the 13th, Sleepaway Camp, and The Burning, His Final Girl promises all the cheesetastic staples: jocks, stoners, nerds, sex, keggers, off-the-wall gory kills…A few tropes are flipped, with unexpected survivors, and an HEA that romance readers crave.
