4.0
I admit I bought this for the Stephenie Meyer story - eager to eat up anything she writes - but it was a pleasantly fun read. I love it when anthologies expose me to new authors I wouldn't have found otherwise and there were definitely a couple of those in this one. Not a mind blowing read, but fast and enjoyable.

Cuando lo leí quedé maravillada, me lo leí en un día y super feliz. Te atrapa. Lo que no sabía es que hay 2 libros más de este mismo estilo. Tengo ganas de leerlos. Este libro es un conjunto de relatos sobre vampiros, muy diversas historias de amor. Tosas te atrapan.

What happens when fairly good YA authors try to write a collection of short stories together?
100% chance of Bad books. The cover is a big plus though, that rose is gorgeous.
And I just get so happy when I manage to track one down... it gets my hopes up. There are reasons books are hard to find
"Hell on earth" - No characterization at all: What we know Sheba->demon Gabe & Christen-sen(I'll give you this-it's indirect-still genes), half-angel ->the conclusion? Genes drew them together, you know? Like in "breeding". No psychology, no idea, no deeper meaning, no relation to the Prom theme. It's like the old story of the depressive couple who first met in a bar, as much meaning as that.
"The Exterminator's daughter" - And it keeps going. I read the Mediator thing and it was fairly good. This is ... (words may leave me for a moment of recollection). Mary - no personality, Lila - an idiot, Ted - an idiot, Adam - clueless. Please remind me, why must I read this?

Best book by Stephanie Meyer, actually the only book I liked from that author.

I bought this book because Stephenie Meyer was a contributor. It's a decent young-adult book of horror short stories. I liked most of the stories and I think it's worth the read if you like scary stories.
