These seventeen tales share the title theme as women avenge affronts and insults perpetrated mostly by men although in a few cases a couple is the cause and target. The short story collection is fun as the audience compares the means and opportunities used by each of the scorned female; motives are provided throughout and make important segments of all the stories, but it is how the woman gets even that makes this an engaging compilation; although I wonder why my husband chose a business trip at this time as he kept mumbling'Be Very Afraid'as'Hell Is Where the Heart Is ' . He took some solace in that he is an Aquarius and not an Aries. This is a fun compilation as'Hell has no fury like a woman scorned ' .
