Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

How to Survive Your Murder by Danielle Valentine is a gripping stand-alone horror novel blending the terror of Scream with the time-twisting thrills of Happy Death Day.

Alice Lawrence is the sole witness in her sister's murder trial. In the year since Claire's death, Alice's life has completely fallen apart. Her parents have divorced, she's moved into an apartment that smells like bologna, and she is being forced to face her sister's killer and a courtroom full of people who doubt what she saw in the corn maze a year prior.

Claire was an all-American girl, beautiful and bubbly, and a theatre star. Alice was a nerd who dreamed of becoming a forensic pathologist and would rather stay at home to watch her favourite horror movies than party. Despite their differences, they were bonded by sisterhood and were each other's best friends. Until Claire was taken away from her.

On the first day of the murder trial, as Alice prepares to give her testimony, she is knocked out by a Sidney Prescott look-alike in the courthouse bathroom. When she wakes up, it is Halloween night a year earlier, the same day Claire was murdered. Alice has until midnight to save her sister and find the real killer before he claims another victim.

This terrifying book reads like a horror movie. No, wait. It has the suspense and shocks and screams of ten horror movies in one. Great nasty fun!" - R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street.

Now available in paperback, How to Survive Your Murder promises a thrilling read from the YA scream queen Danielle Valentine.
