Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs- A Joyfully Recommended Title

Jane Jameson is having a bad day. She was fired from her job as the children's librarian and gets shot on her way home from drinking her sorrows away. That isn't even the worst of her problems. Now she is a vampire who can see her dead aunt and someone is framing her for the vampire murders happening in Half Moon Hallow. Could it get any worse? Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs is very Mary Janice Davidsonesque, but with a twist all its own. The humans know about the vampires and they live side by side. Molly Harper has a great sense of humor and Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs had me in stiches. Ms. Harper has a voice of her own, but I'm sure she will be compared to a couple of the heavy hitters in the comedic vampire genre. I think she will hold her own with the town of Half Moon Hallow. The secondary characters add so much spice and flair to Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs. Jane's interaction with them just cracks me up. The tension between Jane and her sire is wonderfully sexy and you can feel the sparks flying as you read. Ms. Harper kept me on my toes and made me laugh, so it is with great pleasure that I'm Joyfully Recommending everyone take a stab at Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs.

I Just finished this hilarious book today, and loved every minute of it! Molly Harper is a great writer and I'm excited to read her next book with the same character coming out this September. Very funny read filled with romance, friendship and a little mystery. Fun fulled and definitely worth your time to read this one!

Fun, witty and very tasty

Jane Jameson works in Half Moon Hollow's children's Library and loves it. When she gets fired and her horrible boss gives her a gift certificate for a local bar, she takes it as a sign and proceeds to drink it all away. Jane thinks this is one of the crappiest days ever but it is about to get worse because on the way home she is mistaken for a deer and gets shot. If it wasn't for the dark and handsome guy from the bar she would be dead. The jury is still out on whether being undead is good or not. All Jane knows is that is so hungry she could eat her best friend and that her mother is going to hit the roof when she finds out. Jane's life is changing and it will take some getting used to. Luckily she has the Guide for the Newly Undead to help her as well as her favourite dead aunt who she can now see and hear again. Finding a steady blood supply and black out curtains is high up on Jane's list of things to do. Getting a job would be handy but making sure her dog and best friend still want to be associated with her even if she is a blood sucking vampire is a high priority. A relationship with her sire may not be such a good idea but he is very interested in her and she really needs his help because it looks like someone is trying to frame her for a few murders. This debut novel is very lovable. The author has not only managed to create a new vampire type and make it her own but she has also managed to make it fresh and original enough to keep it from being like all the other vampire chick-lit books out there. The story is well written and the plot grows all the way through right until the last chapter. Fun, witty and very tasty this looks like a series to watch. With book number two already due out in September there is no doubt that I will be looking for a copy of Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men when it becomes available. I have to know what Jane gets up to next and who with ;) - Amberkatze's Book Blog

This story is not only entertaining and funny, it's also charming and a joy to read.

Jane Jameson has had a very, very bad day. First she loses her job as a librarian so her boss's stepdaughter can be hired to do a less than mediocre job and play with fires (while working with the books!). To cap off the evening, she decides to drown her sorrows in liquor. But on her way home, her car just up and dies leaving her to walk, drunk in not so sensible sandals on dark, dirty country roads. Then of course she just has to fall in a ditch, which would have no been so very awful if she was not shot by another drunken idiot who had mistaken her for a deer. Seriously beyond all that, dying and waking up as a vampire was just icing on the cake. Gabriel Nightengale saw Jane at the bar and somehow wanted to keep watch over her, protect her. So he kept her company while she drank fruity drinks, walked her to her vehicle and followed her on her way home. Something just compelled him to make sure she made it safely. Unfortunately, he did not follow closely enough to prevent her from...well...getting shot and bleeding to death. But he could save her life by giving her a chance at immortality. If he could just persuade her to accept his help and guidance now that she has awakened as the newly undead, it would make things a whole lot easier. Could you believe there's a welcoming committee for the newly undead? And a guide book? Well, there is! Now if only the guide came with basic instructions for women like Jane, then it would make the undead life a piece of cake. However, there are things about being a vampire that one just has to learn from experience - like be careful when picking a fight with any vampire, because they could end up deader than dead and you could be blamed for their murder. Vampires have rules. Worse than that, they have their own judges and juries...and their own executioners, too. So Jane's undead life might be cut short if she doesn't figure out who framed her and soon. If you are looking for a new read or a new author to get into, Molly Harper's Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs is the book for you. It shows literary wit at its finest. This story is not only entertaining and funny, it's also charming and a joy to read. Did I mention the engaging quips? Ms. Harper's debut to the published world is one that definitely deserves noting, and I, for one, am looking forward to her next book, Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men. Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs definitely has a memorable bite. Reviewed at Bitten by Books Paranormal Fiction Review Site by Lyda
