So, when she isn't writing the October Daye series or the Mira Grant books, she spends a lot of time writing short stories, which she releases online. I read her Velveteen vs series which is about a female super hero.
I'm thinking this book is a collection of Ghost stories she wrote all centered around the Phantom Prom date of Urban legend, an urban legend I had never heard of.
One of the shortcomings of this book, although well written, is that every short story has to reintroduce the character of Rose and her back story. So, at the beginning of each chapter there is a couple of pages about Rose and who she is and what she does. It varies. But it is all the same information.
I do like the world building. I do like her take on urban myths. But it all comes across as bit the same. The character of Rose shares a lot with October and Velveteen, young adventuresome women with special powers. And they all seem to deal with similar issues.
No swords fights.
