This is a series of connected short stories about cheerleaders that protect their town. In the first story they actually protect the world. Since the stories are in their own universe you don’t have to have read anything else by the author to enjoy them. I liked this far more than I thought I would since it pretty much says there will be death in the title. And after reading it I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing more stories in this setting.

This is a collection of shorts that have been mostly previously published with a few new ones. You get the prequel story to Patient Zero and several other stories. The one I really liked had been referenced in another book but only as one line, so it was nice to see the entire thing. A good collection for fans of the series but may not be the best for someone to try if they don’t like spoilers for things that happen in the series.

The nice thing about this collection is that you can pick it up without knowing about the universes the stories are set and have an incredible read waiting for you. There is one new novella set in her Dominion of the Fallen series, but you don’t need to know the backstory to enjoy it. After reading a story set in Obsidian and Blood series, I now want to track down those books and read them. A great collection of short fiction and I can’t wait to read more from this writer.
