It looks like "are" is a stopword, so ignored in "holidays are hell". That gets all books with "holidays" and "hell" in the title, including a bunch of editions of "Holidays in Hell" by P. J. O'Rourke, plus " Hell for the Holidays" by Chris Grabenstein etc.

I think I see what you are trying to do:

title:(Holidays are Hell) AND authors:(Kim Harrison)

or the more complete version:

title:(Holidays are Hell) AND (authors:(Kim Harrison ) OR authors:( Lynsay Sands ) OR authors:( Vicki Pettersson ) OR authors:( Marjorie Liu))

In general, if you want to use fancy Lucene syntax, you should look at the Lucene docs for how to do it.
