No dame is pretty with a gun in her hand. But at least this one was alive. The last time Mike Hammer met up with a blonde she ended up dead, and Hammer inherited a war with the Mob. As he digs deeper, he discovers that about fifteen years ago the Mafia had been double crossed. Now, people are dying because of it and the girl with the gun is a crucial witness in the case. While Hammer's enemies are searching the city for him, he is ready to go after them. Along the way, he'll find out just how deadly a kiss can get...

"A good collection of paranormal stories. Fitzpatrick, Vincent,and Waters gave a taste of different stories than their books i had already read. Catline Kitteredge, Michelle Rowen, and Michelle Zink stood out amoung the authors I had not heard of before."

" Some of my recent favorite authors are in here: Michelle Zink, Carrie Ryan, Maggie Stiefvater. This was pretty awesome. "

" It was OK, but I think I was expecting more romantic love. This is love in the true definition: some are romantic stories, some are stories between siblings, and some are stories between parents and children. "

" I didn't think that this book would actually be THIS good....I loved these short stories so much and i got really attached to some of them in just the short time they had their story :) "
— Danielle, 2/10/2014 -
" Im always a little wary of anthologies but I was suprised by how many great stories this one had. I expected it to be all mushy lovey dovey but that wasnt the case with most of them. There are alot of awesome authors who contributed and a few new ones Im gonna check out! "

" I didn't enjoy this. I got bored pretty quickly. "
— Jo, 1/8/2014 -
" I really enjoyed this collection of short stories and the different concepts it brought. It's also a nice break between long novels. Although it's on the mild side, I encourage anyone who likes paranormal intrigue to read this book. "
— Beth, 1/3/2014 -
" AMAZING! sOME OF THE STORIES i WANTED TO say omg why is it only a chapter? i NEED TO KNOW MORE! But then there wasn't, but another story a got latched on and so on. ;) "

" Not very good. I expected more. "
— Chels, 12/26/2013 -
" this is my third book (many tales in the same book) and now I officially don't like these kind of books, I think it should be either short story or a novel but like this I did not like at all! "
— Inana, 12/24/2013 -
" There were a lot of stories in there that I enjoyed but some of them were a little too cliche and cheesy. "
— Leslie, 12/14/2013 -
" A lot of these stories are too short to build up the romance, but ok if you want something quick "
— Lisa, 9/23/2013 -
" I only liked a few of the short stories. It is hard to get into a story and then it just stops. I suppose I would only recommend it to someone who has a love of paranormal romance stories. "
— Cheryal, 9/16/2013 -
" I read this book mainly to read Carrie Ryan. And it was OK. But overall this book was just OK. Some stories I liked some I skipped. shrug. "
— Jackie, 4/6/2013 -
" Okay book just kinda hard to get into. "
— Erica, 2/18/2013 -
" As a whole not to bad, had to skip a couple of stories as they were just boring. "
— Kate, 1/22/2013 -
" Well, this book for me is really great... there are many stories in one book... though many of it are just summary or prologue (hush hush), it still gives you the choice of whether you would want to read the whole book of the story you liked. "
— Kirby, 11/22/2011 -
" Classic old school noir, with dames, stiffs, and a hell of a gimmick. "
— Jenny, 8/24/2010 -
" These are CASSETTES which i would K.I.L.L. for so that i could drive around in my 1988 Volvo and listen to this. i did read the book- there were some surprises that's for sure. It probably helped galvanize me as a feminist. "
— Risa, 7/16/2009 -
" One of the few instances where the film version is actually better than the book - the film is 5 stars all the way...the book, a solid 4. Track 'em both down... "
