The short stories Two Blondes by Charlaine Harris, The Boys Go Fishing by Sarah Smith and The Innsmouth Nook by Lee Martinez were fantastic! I liked the twists, obvious or not in The Hear is Always Right by Lilith Saintcrow and Home from America by Sharan Newman. The rest were at best ok. Just under 50% not bad for a collection.

I got this book just to read the Sookie Stackhouse story. I'm a big Pam fan and the thought of her and Sookie going on a working vacation together was too good a chance to pass up. The girls go to a strip club to see if the owner wishes to make a deal with Eric's new boss Victor but it soon becomes clear that the real situation is somewhat difference.
This was a fun story where we see the two blondes having some unexpected and amusing girlie time trying out as strippers. Pam is hilarious in this short story and I hope it gets released in a Sookie themed anthology at some point in the future. I put this one right up there with Dracula Night.

I was really disappointed because I thought is was filled with only Sookie stories and there was only one, but the one that was in there was awesome.

1. Two Blondes - Charlaine Harris - (Sookie Stackhouse) - **** = I love when Pam & Sookie go out on adventures together, and this one is no exception.
2. The Boys Go Fishing - Sarah Smith - Ugh . . . I wasn't a big fan of this one.
3. One for the Money - Jeaniene Frost - Night Huntress - I've had this author on my radar for a while, and I'm going to have to move her up the list of ToBeRead! I really enjoyed this story.
4. Meanwhile, Far Across the Caspian Sea... - Daniel Stashower - Eh, I could take or leave this one.
5. The Innsmouth Nook - A. Lee Martinez - This one had me cracking up. Vince was hysterical in this story! While the paranormal aspect of this story was pretty bizarre, the witty dialog totally kept me entertained.
6. Safe and Sound - Jeff Abbott - The ending was totally fitting!
7. Seeing is Believing - L A Banks - I haven't read much by this author, but this short story was entertaining.
8. The Perils of Eferjim - Katie MacAlister - What can I say, I love Jim :)
9. Thin Walls - Christopher Golden - Predictable, but interesting.
10. The Heart is Always Right - Lilith Saintcrow - Gargoyles . . . I love 'em. This was a very sweet story.
11. The Demon in the Dunes - Chris Grabenstein - I really liked this story.
12. Home from America - Sharan Newman - This one could've been interesting if it had more depth.
13. Pirate Dave's Haunted Amusement Park - Toni L P Kelner - Great . . . now I've got another author I need to read more of. I loved Joyce!

I have to clarify this rating - that 4 was only for the Charlaine Harris story and Jeanine Frost stories. The remaining stories I could not get into, so I didn't read them.

My rating only applies to the Frost short story, "One For the Money." The short story wasn't anything special, but I liked it.
Note: Since I only read one story of this anthology, I'm not counting it toward my total book count for the year.
