You're cordially invited to the wedding massacre of the season.

Life is good for Katie Rose Waters. Her family is filthy rich, and she has it a closet full of designer shoes in a mansion fit for a queen, Mother Dear's undivided attention, and, of course, the comforting knowledge that she can get away with murder any time she wants…literally.

But Katie Rose's perfect world starts to crumble when her estranged sister Kit returns home to their small town with a new engagement ring and a fiancé in tow. With Belldam, Texas's most extravagant wedding on the horizon Mother Dear goes into wedding planner mode, obsessing over wedding dresses, florists, and finding a cake. And Katie Rose? She's been demoted to an afterthought. Unless, of course, Mother Dear needs help with a decapitated body. It's simply devastating.

Left to her own wicked devices, Katie Rose begins to suspect that her picture-perfect life might be as hollow as the corpses she leaves behind. What's a spoiled daughter to do without Mother Dear's guidance? But whatever, everything will be fine as long as the trio can stay calm.

Unfortunately, there's nothing more stressful than a wedding....

This outrageous young adult slasher blends the comedy of Father of the Bride with nonstop kills à la Serial Mom in the most twisted mother-daughter story yet.
