Always the First to Die

I am always interested in a cursed movie book, so I picked this one up. We get lots of backstage scenes. We get to see the scene of the death that occurs backstage. But the primary parts of the books are getting to know the people involved. The mother trying to save her child is a trope that I am skeptical of, but it is done well here. I recognized the out of place suspicious character pretty quickly, but didn't know how they fit in with the curse and the movie. So there were still secrets to be uncovered by the end of the book. There were plenty of people to be suspicious of throughout the story and that kept me guessing. The romance with the mom was frustrating and made me roll my eyes more than once. Overall pretty good thriller with lots of questionable characters.
