My rating: 3 of 5 stars

ARC from publisher for honest review.

This book was pretty good. The three stories were suspenseful, if not a bit lacking in depth. For instance the first short story was about some teen girls who were vying to be Queen of Hearts for a Valentines Day dance and one by one the girls who were in the lead were dying in unusual ways. I'm pretty sure the other girls in the contest wouldn't just pretend their friend didn't exist and be excited that now they are in the lead. It just seemed shallow. The second story had a bunch of high school kids putting on a haunted house and they had headed up to a remote lodge to set it up where they become trapped by a rock slide blocking the road. Again, the reactions to the deaths of their beloved friends seem a bit... off. "Ohhhh no! So and do is dead??? Well let's store the body and get on with the next skit." Um.... wow. The last story was pretty cool, about some college students who were employees of a new mall that was getting ready to open who got stuck there when a blizzard hit. All in all the mysteries were good, it was just the way she kept the first two going that bugged me personally. All that said I truly believe that someone in their mid teens would enjoy this book.
