Love Is Hell by Scott Westerfeld, Melissa Marr, Justine Larbalestier
3.0
Not a bad book. The stories were a little different from the other "From Hell" books.
Sleeping with the Spirit **1/2
Ghost romance. Girl sees in her dreams a boy and obviously he haunts her house asking for her help, so he can move on. Predictable plot and a sad ending.
Stupid Perfect World **1/2
Futuristic. I don't read futuristic stories so this was something new for me. For a lesson the students have to choose something the old people did, so the girl chooses to stop her hormonal balance and be a proper teenager and the boy chooses to sleep. Dreams follow and then love. The characters were with no depth but the story was something fresh.
Thinner Than Water ***1/2
I liked this story. It seemed a little bit with celtic myth, with fey leaving babies for the people with green eyes and amazing skills. The girl wants to leave from her village but her parents won't let her, so she "marries" a guy from the village for one year but the parents don't approve. So after some time half the village come and kill him. A sad but nice story.
Fan Fictions **
In the beginning it looks like Twilight. He is the only guy that ever noticed her but she can't tell anyone that they're together. Afterwards we learn he was born on 187- and in the very end we'll never know if he really existed.
Love Struck ***
Selkies!Nice turn with the mythology. A little bit with family drama, some denial and in the end love. I didn't like Alana very much, but Murrin was cute.
