Knight writes fun tales about an assassin Veronica Grim (the last name is an obvious take off on the Brothers Grimm) who works for some agency that assigns her assassinations involving people who are similar to characters in fairy tales. This volume contains two short stories. The first Blood Don't Lie is about a singer who seduces women and then kills them and about a woman (a wicked witch) who murders children. The second longer and more developed story is a takeoff on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and is called Heartless. Snow is a successful and rich porn star who has friends who are dwarfs. Her stepmother hires Veronica to kill her and bring her Snow's heart.
