Kiss Me Deadly, 13 Tales of Paranormal Love is quite the read! 13 different authors join forces to share stories with the reader all about the transformation a kiss can bring, and all the emotion and change it can ignite! Authors include; Becca Fitzpatrick, Maggie Stiefvater, Rachel Vincent, Carrie Ryan, Diana Peterfreund, Michelle Rowen, Daniel Waters, Caitlin Kitteredge, Justin Mush, Daniel Marks, Karen Mahoney, Sarah Rees Brennan and Michelle Zink.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how each story was short and you could actually finish one story in an hour and move on about your day, or continue to read another story! The stories range from ghosts, vampires, witches and even angel possession (the bad kind). If you enjoy reading about paranormal love, and all that entails, then youll definitely want to pick up this book right away! I found myself wanting some of the stories to go on and not be over! I wont share which ones because, hey, thats just my opinion and you might love them all!
Some of the stories felt a little lacking. I know thats to be expected with short stories, but I just felt that there wasnt much depth to some of them. This wasnt the case with all of them, but just be warned there are a few. Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who loves the paranormal love craze going on right now! This book is very easy to read over the course of a week or a couple days (if you have the time!).

i love how they are short stories and you could actually understand them and i love how it brings tales of the paranormal from different authors. They bring different characters to life and they also bring a little emotion which is great because to be honest i love books which can make me scared, cry, laugh out loud and even angry(i guess that is why i prefer the paranormal to any other genres) anyway i recommend this book to vampires, witches, genies, fallen angels etc lovers out there who don't mind short stories.
