"Robert Altman turns his multilevel, multidimensional auteur’s eye on the short stories of Raymond Carver, and creates one grim portrayal of Los Angeles culture that will leave you breathless. Many of the stories that make up Short Cuts could have spun off into TV series, so well drawn are the characters. Released after Altman’s smash hit The Player, Short Cuts came across as a disappointment, but after a recent viewing, I feel Short Cuts to be the superior and more lasting success. A killer cast that never gets in the way of the material has to be an all-time favorite of mine. With Tim Robbins, Julianne Moore, Robert Downey, Jack Lemmon, and Jennifer Jason Leigh."

In a way this reminded me of The Dark Duet series only minus the BDSM stuff and with more killing.

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started this, I just knew it was by an author I like and so, I was therefore likely to enjoy this too, and I did.

It focused more on the assassin, Victor, and how he went from being a rather emotionless killer but seeing it all happen from Sarai's POV. It was different to a lot of the other stuff I read an I really liked it.

I need Reviving Izabel soon so I can find out what's going to happen in the future between these two.

The beginning of this seemed really stilted, just giving a short sentence here and there with information that didn't seem relevent and bored me. But then the author seemed to get into their stride and i was sucked into the story.

I liked the plot. It was different. The identity of the killer didn't shock me as much as it probably could have but i was still kind of taken aback at the lengths they were willing to go

I was a little disappointed with the romance aspect though. I wanted more page time for the characters romantic progression. It seemed a little sudden despite the years they'd been working together.
