***SPOILER ALERT!*** 
 Death's Excellent Vacation is one of my favorite books! I just couldn't put it down. If it wasn't for this book, I believe I would have never known about The Night Huntress - which is now my #1 favorite Series - Every short story was full of excitement, passion, death, and what other than Vampires! Blood. 
 1. Two Blonds - Sookie believes she's heading for a vacation with Pam (who is actually in Las Vegas doing a "not to dangerous" job for Eric) Strippers, Casinos, Money, and has a little bit of action. 
 2. The Boys Go Fishing - A crotchety old superhero's lonely exile is invaded - he longs for death, but may yet discover how to truly live - I really really liked this story, it had some powerful and poignant moments. 
 3. One For The Money - Cat and Bones goes on to another of their adventures, they pull guard duty for a human heiress targeted by supernatural hit men. There are some very steamy bits to push the adrenaline in your excitement. Jeaniene Frost really knows how to do her work! 
 4. Meanwhile, Far Across the Caspian Sea...- An author takes his job as researcher to a new level. 
 5. The Innsmouth Nook - Okay, I have to say that this was the most stupidest, most funniest story in the book. Have you ever thought about writing a short story about humans having sex with fish? Well, that's what you'll get with this one. It's worth to read. 
 6. Safe and Sound - An ambitious and less than scrupulous TV reporter milks the investigation into a young man's disappearance for ratings - given the reporter's nature, I thought that the resolution was fitting. 
 7. Seeing is Believing - After 'seeing' that the cause of several local deaths is a supernatural predator, a young woman heads off to New Orleans to gather what she needs to fight the beasts and there she gains an ally in an unusual young man - a nice little story with appealing leads and a promise of romance. 
 8. The Perils of Eferjim - A short starring Aisling Grey's demon newfie sidekick Jim - With Aisling on vacation, Jim's off to grab some R&R as well when he gets forced into human form and banished to Abaddon - If you love Jim there's lots of him here and some funny moments, I particularly liked how he dealt with the guards of the hellish demon dimension. 
 9. Thin Walls - This one really got to me. If you thought Cat and Bones really had graphic sex, wait until you read about A man who is on a memorial tour honoring his dead wife, but an eye opening encounter with a seductive woman is what it takes to help him move on. Now, if counting being sucked by being f***ked, then what can I say? This one was pretty horrific, but it's worth reading. Have you ever seen movies from Horror Fest? This one would make a perfect scene. 
 10. The Heart is Always Right - While I was reading this one, the first thought that came in mind was the movie of 'The Beauty and The Beast'. A gargoyle who falls in love with a woman who is bound to be dead by creatures from hell. Who heart is more valuable than his own stoneless life. A pretty and dark story. I loved it. 
 11. The Demon in the Dunes - When you face death, what would you tell it? A man remembers a long ago summer vacation from his youth and a ghostly encounter - The ending to this one surprised me. 
 12. Home From America - A man of Irish descent, has a chance to visit the old country when his family gets invited to a family reunion. The ending to this story made me laugh until I felt a cramp in my abdomen and tears in my eyes. Talk about leprechauns! 
 13. Pirate Dave's Haunted Amusement Park - A recently turned werewolf returns to a childhood vacation spot to ponder her future. A visit to a favorite amusement park offers her the chance to pursue the pirate of her teenage fantasies and a chance to make use of her new abilities - Sexy pirates and supernatural creatures? What's not to like. 
 I give it 10stars if I could! :)
