One might assume that librarians have boring lives.
However, one would be wrong. Jane Jameson not only
possesses an unfortunate-sounding name, but also a graduate
degree in library science. And she learns just how exciting
a librarian's, or even former librarian's, life can be when
she spends her "severance pay" of a gift certificate to
Shenanigan's trying to reduce her liver to pudding,
chatting up strange -- very strange -- men and being mistaken
for a deer. Being changed into a vampire just makes Jane's
life more complicated. Determining when to tell friends and
family about her new lifestyle was not something she
learned in library science courses. Dodging her best
friend's alternating fascination and revulsion with her new
abilities, her mom's everyday emotional blackmail and her
sire's influence on her hormones is enough excitement for
the newly-undead librarian; dealing with unemployment and
being set up for murder, at the same time, are just extra
party favors.
Unlike the many pot-boiling, predictable, teeny-bopper,
paranormal-ish tale-meets-chick-lit flooding the literature
scene right now, Molly Harper's wildly witty prose
and fang-sharp bon mots hit the spot for the reader who
wants to remember the plot and the characters beyond the
last page. In fact, some of the quips are so clever,
spouses and loved ones in the vicinity may discover that
NICE GIRLS DON'T HAVE FANGS is just as funny when read
aloud...repeatedly. This debut novel plunges into and rebuffs
stereotypes with eyes wide open and toothy grin beaming.
The first installment of a funny, smart, and sexy new
romantic series by a debut author introduces Jane Jameson,
an out-of-work, small-town librarian who is turned into a
vampire.
