review 1: "Cruisin" By Sarah MlynowskiA well written story with a very surprising twist ending! Not at all what I was expecting, but was definitely a good shock.4 Stars"I Don't Like Your Girlfriend" By Claudia GrayA fantastic story. Incredibly well written, great characters who you love and hate (some both at the same time) and a storyline that kept me gripped from beginning to end. My only problem was the slight predictability in the evil spell used by Kathleen, I saw that coming for a few pages before Cecily did, but the end result was definitely not what I was expecting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping Gray decides to write more stories with these characters.4.5 Stars"The Law of Suspects" By Maureen JohnsonA good, well written story that kept me guessing and intrigued all t... morehe way through. My only problem was the ending, I'm a sucker for happy endings so the lack of one in this story, plus an irritating sister who did nothing but get on my nerves the entire time as well as a slightly slow beginning are the reasons this story has lost a star.4 Stars"The Mirror House" By Cassandra ClareA great story by a great author. I would live for Clare to write a continuation of this story as I would live to find out what happens next.4.5 Stars"Nowhere Is Safe" By Libba BrayA decent story with a fairly slow beginning that picked up towards the end. This story definitely improved about halfway through and turned into a story that I wouldn't mind reading more of if Bray ever decides to write more with these characters. However, while I was fairly bored at the beginning of the story, I was also thoroughly creeped out the entire time. Bray definitely did a good job in making a story that you don't want to read in your house alone at night.3.5 StarsOverall, some very good stories, most of which I would like to read more of. This book gets a well-deserved 4 Stars from me.
review 2: First off, I’m not a huge fan of anthologies, but I wasn’t going to miss out on anything written by Cassandra Clare. So, I picked this up and finished it in little over a day as I simply couldn’t put it down. I loved this book! It’s an anthology of horror stories and, of course, my number one favorite genre is horror. “Vacations from Hell” exceeded my every expectation, and as I’ve always wondered what Libba Bray’s storytelling was like, I was overjoyed to find included in this anthology a short story written by her. And yes, I’m definitely going to read more of her books. Another author’s short story included in this anthology, and whose books I’ve never read before, is Maureen Johnson. You can be sure I’ll be adding her books to my reading list as well.I enjoyed the first two short stories in “Vacations from Hell”, but my favorite ones turned out to be the last three. I can see why these authors’ books sell in the thousands. All three of them – Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson, and Libba Bray – are exceptional storytellers! Each of them wrote a tale that, for me, was refreshingly different from what I’ve read before, but reminded me of earlier works by two of my favorite horror authors, Dean R. Koontz and Richard Laymon. All five authors kept to the vacation theme and presented me with tales of which the outcomes were completely unpredictable. “Vacations from Hell” is a wholly captivating compilation of short horror stories written by extremely talented authors. It kept me glued to the pages, sent chills up my spine, had me breaking out in goosebumps, and is a book I will undoubtedly read again, and share with my bookworm friends. I highly recommend it to fans of horror or readers looking for a thrilling read. Fans of these authors will be delighted by these stories, so of course I would recommend it to them as well. I happily give this book five stars! less
