Vacations From Hell by Libba Bray, Cassandra Clare, Claudia Gray, Maureen Johnson, and Sarah Miynowski
Having read three of theses authors, I felt I couldn't go wrong with this book of short stories. For the most part, I was correct, though, to some degree, I expected better than this.
This is a set of five short stories that are, as the title implies, vacations from hell. The first story involved vampires, and was a bit on the cheesy side. Thank goodness it was short.
The second involved witches. It was better, but still kinda cheesy.
The third took place in France, and involved a girl going crazy after some murder/suicide action going on in the town where she's staying. This was one of the better stories.
The fourth involved a witch, but I felt it was more voodoo related. Also one of the better stories presented here.
The last one, was about a town that used to sacrifice children to the devil, and although this had not been practiced in over 100 years, it was coming back. Some American teenagers backpacking across Europe get roped in.
All in all, this was a fast read, but not one that is going to stick with me.
