Nuits d'enfer au paradis
Un recueil de cinq nouvelles regroupées sous les thématiques du fantastique et du traditionnel bal de fin d'année. Dans ##L'enfer sur Terre##, on suit une séduisante démone qui, chargée de jeter une ambiance sinistre sur une soirée de promotion, voit ses plans contrecarrés par l'arrivée d'un jeune homme qui l'hypnotise par ses fabuleux yeux bleus. La seconde nouvelle narre la lutte d'une adolescente contre Dracula et son fils. ##Le bouquet##, inspiré d'une nouvelle gothique de W.W Jacobs, donne vie à une adolescente qui recourt à un bouquet maléfique pour s'assurer que le garçon qu'elle aime l'invite au bal. Le récit suivant relate la soirée infernale que passe une jeune promue en suivant un inconnu qui lui vole son âme ... Finalement, ##Baisers divins## dresse le portrait surprenant et empreint de dérision d'une jeune femme dotée d'étranges pouvoirs qui sauve les âmes en peine et qui se retrouve sur la piste d'une "serial kisseuse" ... -- Des textes de qualité inégale, mais qui, dans la majorité des cas, sont peu inventifs, stylistiquement pauvres et clos sur une chute sans grande surprise. Un ouvrage fantastico-romantique que l'on pourrait qualifier d'opération marketing, puisque regroupant de célèbres auteures de la littérature pour adolescentes. [SDM].
