KISS SLAY REPLAY by Rachel Harrison is
a time-loop nightmare as Willa Sullivan relives a blood-
soaked wedding reception over and over. As the monsters
change in each scenario, Willa refines her strategy to
survive and get out of this millennial horror show.
Willa Sullivan is still reeling from her breakup with
Ravi, her ex-fiancΓ©. The relationship had run its
course, yet Willa's heart still hurts. Why is it still so
hard to move on? Willa dreads seeing Ravi and his date at
her best friendβs wedding, yet she canβt let her
friends down. The wedding venue is beautiful, along with the
cabins for wedding guests. Yet, as the ceremony draws
closer, Willa has an anxiety attack and stumbles into the
woods, where she catches sight of a strange man with a mask.
When the man reappears and the blood starts flowing, Willa
realizes she is in the middle of a horror movie. As more
carnage continues, Willa and her new friend Danny must make
it out alive. Yet each time Willa dies, a new day begins
with a new threat. Can Willa escape the time loop, face her
ex-fiancΓ©, reconnect with her friends, and find a new
perspective on life?
KISS SLAY REPLAY is a horror-filled rom-com
fueled by a quirky main character and her cache of college
friends. Willa is likeable and struggling since her breakup
with Ravi. As she wrestles with her emotions, she replays
the same day with different monsters that test her final
girl skills. The monsters are ruthless and include a
maniacal killer with a penchant for eyeballs, zombies,
crazed ravens, aliens, sprites, Godzilla, and finally the
Grim Reaper. There are numerous action and gruesome scenes,
written with creativity and a unique voice. The first scene
is the best and sets the stage for each subsequent replay.
You can't help but like Willa as she evolves incrementally,
stumbles frequently, yet always strives valiantly to escape
and save her loved ones. This may not be for everyone, but
it will appeal to horror fans who like a little twist to
their average angsty getting-over-a-breakup story.Β
