Book Review: Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper

Yesterday, I reviewed the latest release in this new vampire series. I was also sent the 3 previous books. BAD PR rep- she got me ADDICTED to the series! Here's book 1 in the set!

Synopsis: 


Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. 


When children's librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed twenty-five dollars in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that's sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she's mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead. And thanks to the mysterious stranger she met while chugging neon-colored cocktails, she wakes up with a decidedly unladylike thirst for blood.

Jane is now the latest recipient of a gift basket from the Newly Undead Welcoming Committee, and her life-after-lifestyle is taking some getting used to. Her recently deceased favorite aunt is now her ghostly roommate. She has to fake breathing and endure daytime hours to avoid coming out of the coffin to her family. She's forced to forgo her favorite down-home Southern cooking for bags of O negative. Her relationship with her sexy, mercurial vampire sire keeps running hot and cold. And if all that wasn't enough, it looks like someone in Half Moon Hollow is trying to frame her for a series of vampire murders. What's a nice undead girl to do?

Review: I used to love Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels, but then the TV series came out and somehow they just lost their charm. I think because you imagine the characters in your head so much, that seeing them on the screen in full technicolor, just never measures up you know? And I lost interest in the TV series after the second season too. So I was looking for a replacement, without realizing I was! Luckily Molly Harper was brought to my attention! Her werewolf books filled a temporary void, and then I found this series!

And what is not to love? A Southern vampire, in a small town, with the epitome of a Southern mama and family, who is smart and snarky, dealing with some major relationship issues. yeah, we can all SO relate! LOL....Molly has built a great series, and I think I actually enjoyed reading the series out of order (I read them as 4,2,1,3)- knowing some of the future made this book more interesting, and I saw more clues about things that happened in later books (very sneaky Molly!). I don't know how she keeps up with it all, except for a great computer program!

I know you will find this series funny and intriguing as I have! You can browse the book on the publisher's website too! They really are prefect for light Summer reading!


And be sure to check out Molly's website for the recipe for Jane's Mama's Pot Pie, which is featured so well in this series! (I just love it with author's give you those extra little nuggets, don't you?)
