Chuck Tingle really knows how to write fun and creative horror! Lucky Day kicks off with the Low Probability Event—a chain of horrendously unlucky things happening in a short time span that leaves millions dead. In the aftermath of this weird catastrophe, statistics professor Vera has basically given up on life, but then government agent Layne storms in and demands her help in taking down a casino in Vegas which he believes is linked to the LPE.

The strange death scenes were the highlight of the book for me, having a distinctly Final Destination-esque edge to them. But I also really enjoyed Vera as a main character and watching how she progresses both with her own mental state and in regards to her fraught connection to Layne.

Lucky Day is fun, fast-paced, and gory, with just enough character work to also keep me emotionally invested!
