Publisher Description

Life's a beach... and then you're undead?

In this must-have collection, five of today's hottest writers - Libba Bray (A Great and Terrible Beauty), Cassandra Clare (City of Bones), Claudia Gray (Evernight), Maureen Johnson (13 Little Blue Envelopes), and Sarah Mlynowski (Bras & Broomsticks) - tell supernatural tales of vacations gone awry.

Lost luggage is only mildly unpleasant compared to bunking with a witch who holds a grudge. And a sunburn might be embarrassing and painful, but it doesn't last as long as a curse. Of course, even in the most hellish of situations, love can thrive.... From light and funny to dark and creepy, these stories have something for everyone. You definitely won't want to leave this collection at home!

"I didn't think I was going to like the first story (with all of the 'first time' business) but kept reading and ended up really liking it at the end. The second and fourth stories were both very fun and interesting. The third story was good but I had a hard time getting past certain things. The last story started out strong but I ended up not really liking it. Overall it was a fun and easy book to read."

    " Five stories, no waiting. Some were very enjoyable, some were just enjoyable, all were a lot of fun. (I admit to a special fondness for Claudia Gray's offering, which didn't go where I expected, and delighted me therefore.) Recommended to anyone who likes modern YA supernatural fiction, anthologies, summer stories, or any combination of the above. "

    " All of the stories were good, except for the last one. I thought that the last one had a bad plot and the whole thing was just boring to read. I enjoyed the 4 other stories though :) "

    " quick read, enjoyed the "supernatural element in all the stories. I would say I enjoyed the Libba Bray story the best, The Law ... was a close second. "

    " Well, this book was OK but not great. Some of the stories were worthy of a little over 3 stars, but altogether the book desearves about a 2.5. Sorry to the people out there who liked this book. Usually I don't rate low, but what else can I say??? "

    " The reason it got a 2 star (the Ok-sign) was because of Maureen Johnson's story 'The law of suspects' which was creepy-too-good! "

    " I love it! Especially the 'Perfect World' part. The scene is from the future and they're studying the ways of living of the humans from the past. It's soo cool. =)) "

    " Terrible collection, the only one that was good (I would rate it 4 stars) was Libba Bray's story it was creepy and the characters were believable. The rest of the stories seemed like really bad fan fiction.And what is up with Cassandra Clare and romance between siblings? "
