Jen's Reviews > Prom Nights from Hell

"Prom Nights from Hell" (yet another of my book bazaar finds) had five short stories from five different authors. I'm often hesitant to buy a collection like this because it tends to 1) end too abruptly, leaving you wondering what the heck will happen next or 2) is a novella connected to an on-going series by the author. Still, I went ahead and bought the book, anchoring my hopes on the names of Meg Cabot and Stephenie Meyer.

Of the five shorts, my favorite was Michelle Jaffe's "Kiss and Tell". No vampires, no demons, no angels. Just a teen Wonder Woman and her embracing of her superpowers. It kept me interested and actually made me want to learn more about the characters once the story ended.

The four other stories were okay. Nothing earth-shatteringly great but acceptable enough if you've got some time on your hands. I'm happy I was able to get this during the bazaar because I just spent Php75 (a little more than US$1.50) instead of the original price of Php359 (about US$9).
