Prom Nights From Hell
Blurb:
In Prom Dates from Hell, bestselling authors Meg Cabot (How to Be Popular), Stephenie Meyer (Twilight), Lauren Myracle (ttyl), Michele Jaffe (Bad Kitty) and Kim Harrison (A Fistful of Charms) take bad prom dates to a whole new level -- a paranormally bad level. From vampires to grim reapers to a creepy update on the classic three-wishes-gone-terribly awry tale "The Monkey's Paw," these stories will entertain better than any DJ in a bad tux can. No corsage or limo rental necessary. Just good, scary fun.

My thoughts: One thing that everyone should know before they read this book is that none of the short stories are very scary.Which is good because if any of them would have been scary I wouldn't have read this book( gets scared very easily + an overactive imagination=NIGHTMARES for weeks)
This is the first anthology I've read and I really enjoyed it! I had picked up this book at a time when I'd read so many books that just didn't cut it and all of them kept going on and on and on.....(lots of series you see)
This book was like a breath of fresh air!
I loved all the short stories and almost all of them left me begging for more!
Stephenie Meyer's short story surprised me the most ! It was so different from Twilight and I liked the fact that she could write something that didn't focus completely on romance.
Lauren Myracle's story was definitely the creepiest.*SHUDDERS*
Kim Harrison's story was AWESOME! It's called Madison Avery and the Dim Reaper.NEED I SAY MORE? It's actually a prequel to Once Dead,Twice Shy. (I just found out!) Thank god there's more because the ending of this one was KILLER! Literally!
I liked Meg Cabot's story and Michele Jaffe's story too! Ok,I'll just say I really enjoyed this one A LOT !
Pick this one up if you see it anywhere!
My Rating : 4.5/5
GUILTY PLEASURE
