Lauren Myracle, "The Corsage." A prom-centric version of "The Monkey's Paw." Nothing new, but not terrible. Her best chance to stake him? Prom, of course. Meg Cabot, "The Exterminator's Daughter." Mary is determined to get revenge on Dracula's son for Turning her mother and seducing her best friend. If you read this book take my advice and close it before you get to this story. It's possible this story ended abruptly because I have an electronic copy, it's also possible that's just how SMeyer ended it. Mother of god, this was terrible! So Sheba is a demon and Gabriel Michael Christensen (I know) is the offspring of a human and an angel and once a demon discovers love with an angel her internal flame goes out and she is trapped. I'd be happy to read more in this universe, especially about Sibby. If I were to have read a book where Madison and Barnabas had an established relationship and universe, then went back and read this as an origin story I'd be pleased, but otherwise it really doesn't stand well on its own.Ĭhick with superpowers.
Like I said, it felt like part of something larger. There was an overabundance of Reapers-White, Gray, Black-and it all seemed just too much for this one short story. I thought from the title that it would be comedy, but it really wasn't. This story had the feel of being part of a larger universe, which made me wonder if she is planning something new or if it's just a case of bad writing. I couldn't tell what Harrison was trying to do here.

It's a good take on an old story, with a nice mixture of fear and sadness at the end. You really can't wish them back but someone always has to try. The story doesn't bring anything new to the genre but it's adorable and a quick read. There's a girl dumb enough to want to be bitten, written in the way only Meg Cabot could. It's "The Exterminator" which is kind of like The Slayer so that part is a tad bit lame.
