Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men & Nice Girls Don't Live Forever


This is two book reviews in one. I couldn't put this series down by Molly Harper. The first book is Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs, in which the story of Jane Jameson begins. In these latest books, Jane, a hilarious yet sarcastic ex-librarian, still has family problems, she just inherited a book store, and her boyfriend may or may not be cheating on her. As Jane goes through these perils, she also has to deal with a hypnotized best friend who is getting married and later is having twins, a dead boss who is currently dating her dead grand-mother, and a thieving sister. These books are seriously funny, and it reminded me strongly of the dry- humored MaryJane Davidson novels, so if any of you are fans of Queen Betsy series, you will love these! I read these so fast that these two books almost blur together, and there are some really sweet passages in here that melt my heart, being the hopeless romantic that I am. I really recommend this whole series, especially for long weekends or on a plane, because you will zip through them.

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper was a hilarious book that was perfect for me. A librarian turned vampire, with a crazy family and a overprotective sire, and eventually lover, is the perfect mix. I could not put it down! It was hilarious and I laughed throughout the whole thing. The plot is Jane Jameson, a regular hardworking children's librarian is suddenly fired from her job. She decides that with nothing better to do, she is going to drown her sorrows with all the drinks and curly fries she can. After meeting a handsome man, she leaves, only to find that halfway down the road her car has broken down. She gets out of her car and is promptly shot, being mistaken for a deer and so begins her life as one ot the udead. She has to deal with being unemployed, seeing the ghost of her dead Aunt Jettie, and figuring out her relationship with her sire, Gabriel. I thought that this book was a tremendously good read. It is the first book in the Jane Jameson Series.
