Did you ever think you had the worst possible vacation ever? Well, pick up VACATIONS FROM HELL and realize that what you think was horrible is just icing on the cake.
Five of today's most popular paranormal young adult authors combine their talents in this collection of short stories. This is a compilation that is sure to appeal to everyone. I will admit at the beginning that I've only read works by Sarah Mlynowski and Maureen Johnson in the past, but will definitely be looking forward to reading works by the other three authors now.
This collection has something for everyone. For fans of The Blair Witch Project, check out Nowhere is Safe by Libba Bray. Four thrill-seeking teenagers on a trip around Europe stumble across scary things in a dark and dangerous forest. For anyone that hated that other girl for one reason or another and wanted to get even, check out I Don't Like Your Girlfriend by Claudia Gray. If you like those twisted ghost stories that are handed down from person to person, then The Law of Suspects by Maureen Johnson is for you. Got a hankering for a bit of dark witchcraft? The Mirror House will make you think twice about looking in mirrors again. And my personal favorite was Cruisin' by Sarah Mlynowski. It was one of those stories where I totally didn't expect the ending. You have to love when a story can do that!
The stories are all well-written and blend together perfectly. Each story is the perfect length to sit down and read in a sitting. After reading VACATIONS FROM HELL you will never again complain of a bad holiday!1 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Ugggg HORIBLE
I did not like it very much I felt the characters weren't devoleped enough and that the stories were cut off short and needed to be longer. I just thought the stories were short. I excepcted more because some of the authors are very good and unforgetable. But this was some of there worst works I ever seen I didn't like it.

Spoiler Alert!
Was anyone else sickened by reviewer #6 review? They ruined the story for anyone reading it (Cruisin) by giving away who the killer is! Unbelievably stupid of that poster! If you can, avoid reading that review, as it will ruin the story for you.

I had reluctantly bought this series because of an authors I'm awfully fond of. Cassandra Clare, author of the well-written Mortal Instruments series did not disappoint. However, if you are truly interested in one if the From Hell series, I suggest Kisses From Hell. Rachelle Mead's story of Sunshine is my personal favorite and a spin-off from the amaing, well-thought out, Vampire Academy. Alyson Noel also given some time into her story, which was fairly a good read.

Vacations from Hell make you never want to take vacays!
Scary and shocking,that's what what Vacations from Hell was,All the short stories was so frightening and they sucker punch you,that's how much warning I got for any of the conclusions of the stories.I love Cruisin by Sarah Mlynowski for the twist in ending,all along I assumed that the main character wanted to lose her virginity but whoa,Sarah M goes all out and flips and twists everything!Others I enjoyed were the Mirror House by Cassandra Clare,catchy storyline but not her finest work.Nowhere is Safe scores points for being so scary but realistic and right now I feel very against visiting Europe.For Now, though.The other two were good reads but average.Romance is not the key here so I do not really recommend this for romantics.But good fro taking along to your vacay for some spicing up!
