Praise for the Love is Hell authors:

"Riveting and dark: I love this tale of a smart, tough girl who walks the razor's edge between an ancient fairy curse and her future" Tamora Pierce on Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely.

"Laurie Faria Stolarz has captured perfectly the angst and folly of the teenage world." www.teenreads.com

Praise for Prom Nights From Hell:

"With edgy writing designed to hook and captivate even the most reluctant of readers, each story is filled with strong, appealing characters who work their magic on the senses by appearing to be strong, daring, and passionate. Readers are taken on an exhilarating ride through the terrifying side of an otherwise common event, and the mood is cleverly sustained with an aura of fast-paced writing." Caryl Soriano, New York Public Library
