4.0

I am almost done with this book, and I have to say I'm loving the unapologetic, hard-nosed Noir of it all. It's kind of refreshing to read a story where the main character isn't trying to convince you to love her. These ladies are antiheroes to the core and there are no apologies or excuses. I liked reading one/two of these a day, it made a bigger impact than if I had just read them all straight through. Reading this collection has definitely made me want to watch/read more Noir.
