Kisses From Hell

From Short story collections are notoriously uneven, and the newest title in this collection series (following, most recently, 2009’s Vacations from Hell) is no exception. The vampire love/lust stories from Kristin Cast, Alyson No?l, Kelley Armstrong, Richelle Mead, and Francesca Lia Block vary wildly in length and quality and range from ho-hum predictability (Mead) and unsuccessful free verse (Cast) to delightful campiness (Armstrong and No?l) and thoughtful lyricism (Block). There are some graphic scenes and mature language, but the attractive cover art and large print make this a natural for less-advanced readers who are still enjoying the vampire craze. Grades 9-12. --Debbie Carton Product Description Truly, Madly, Undead-ly This irresistible collection features stories of love amid vampires by five of today's hottest authors—Kristin Cast (_Tempted_), Richelle Mead (_Vampire Academy_), Alyson No?l (_Evermore_), Kelley Armstrong (_The Summoning_), and Francesca Lia Block (_Pretty Dead_). From a fugitive vampire forced to trust a boy who might work for the group bent on destroying her to the legendary romance of two immortals whose love compels them to risk everything, this heart-pounding collection brings new meaning to the words "love you forever." Whether you're into romances that are dark and moody or light and fun, these stories will quench that insatiable thirst for enchanting tales of the beautiful undead. Ready Upoad : Да
