"Prom Nights From Hell" book review

I'm really starting to like this book-reviewing thing. :)

ANY-hoo. So. "Prom Nights From Hell", as I'm sure you can guess, is a book about proms that have gone from great to, well, hellish. In other terms, paranormal crap goes down. The thing is, it's a collection of short stories that would make EXCELLENT novels by themselves. Too bad they had to cut off, dammit. There were five short stories each, and five different authors. Here's the authors and titles ((and a short little splurge about it)) in a list of favorite to least favorite. Although I have to say that I enjoyed each of them; there wasn't really a story that I didn't like. Anyways.

1. Madison Avery and the Dim Reaper by Kim Harrison: ((Holy crap I almost put "Raper" instead of "Reaper". That would've been horrible)) okay, ignoring my A.D.D.-ness... This story, as you can maybe gather--depending on how much intelligence you have, or lack thereof--is about Grim Reapers. Except there's white reapers, black reapers, dark reapers, etc etc etc. This one is a top favorite out of the five. Well done, Miss Kim Harrison, well done. ((MAKE A REAL NOVEL OUT OF IT PLEEEAAAASE!!!!)) ★★★★★

2. Hell on Earth by Stephanie Meyer: well DUR-DA-DUR its one of my favorites!!!!! i only went through the BIGGEST Twilight fad in the history of my grade last year!!!! Stephanie Meyer is an AMAZING author, and she pulled through with this story just as I expected!!!! The gist: a demoness raising hell during a prom so she can get promoted to a higher rank. Only her hell-raising is ruined!! WHO COULD DO SUCH A BLASPHEMY?! ((READ IT YOURSELF TO FIND OUT!!)) this tied for first place in my opinion. ★★★★★


3. Kiss and Tell by Michele Jaffe: A very AWESOME story that leaves you wondering, "DA HELL?! NOO I WANT TO FIND OUT MOOOOAAAR!!!!" yes. VERY epic story about oracles, the future of a world and a girl that is the key to it, and another girl with superpowers.
"Um, yes, this is Mason. Yes I will hold. ..... Hello, Miss Jaffe.... THAT LITTLE SHORT STORY WASN'T ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!" ARGH!!! ★★★★☆


4. The Exterminator's Daughter by Meg Cabot: Okay, I love Meg Cabot's work in general, but this was REALLY good. I have to say, definitely not my favorite out of the entire thing ((I'm sorry Miss Cabot!!! D: )) BUT it was still awesome, nonetheless. ★★★★☆


5. The Corsage by Lauren Myracle: Okay, this was a REALLY good story, but it was the creepiest out of all of them, but for realsies now? It freaked my beans. And a corsage that makes your wishes come true but in a really screwed up way just freaks my beans even more. I mean, seriously. And yes, I get scared easily, but still. It was a great story nonetheless, and I do believe that a book about Hellish Prom Nights deserves at least one creepy story. ★★★★


BTW the filled stars are full stars and the empty stars are supposed to be half-stars. So, "Kiss and Tell" would get a 4.5 out of 5, for example. I couldn't find a ligit half star, so I settled with an empty one. Just btw on that.


I am SOOOOOO gonna get chastised about that whole Twilight thing. People are too judgmental on that crap. I CAN LIKE TWILIGHT IF I WANT. >:C <--SUPER ANGRY FACE. yeah. i do what i want. *crosses arms* meh. 


ANYWAY. More A.D.D. crap right there. '^___^


Seriously though. All these short stories should become full-length novels. That would rock my socks off.
