It’s been almost thirty years since the iconic slasher movie I Know What You Did Last Summer came out in theaters. In the original film (loosely based on the Lois Duncan novel), four teens accidentally hit a man with their car and dump his body only to be stalked by a fisherman a year later. With a cast of 90s icons including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr., fans were screaming for them to run from the infamous fisherman with the hook for a hand. Now, a reboot and sequel (requel if you will) is hitting theaters this summer featuring a new cast and the return of Julie James and Ray! Looking for some twisty thrillers to read once the credits roll? Here is the ultimate TBR for fans of I Know What You Did Last Summer!
