Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men
Molly Harper

Fantasy Urban | Paranormal

In the second book of the vampire series that started with NICE GIRLS DON'T HAVE FANGS, Molly Harper brings another amusing tale of the exploits of Jane Jameson, the librarian-turned-vampire who just can't seem to avoid attracting trouble wherever she goes. Jane's troubles involve pondering her relationship with her delectable sire, balancing an almost empty checkbook, and dealing with pre-wedding prep for her best friend Zeb's wedding to a werewolf. Zeb's mother, a strong-willed entity without a need for preternatural abilities, cannot reset the mental script to which she clings -- one that involves Jane as the bride. Two bright spots in her life are her job with Specialty Books and the amusingly befuddled Mr. Wainwright and time spent pondering her relationship with her luscious sire, Gabriel. Obviously, Gabriel is a double- edged sword in Jane's mind. A rollicking and fast-paced comedy, NICE GIRLS DON'T DATE DEAD MEN is a hysterical novel in which to escape from the mundane world.

SUMMARY

Once a devoted children's librarian, Jane Jameson now works at a rundown occult bookstore. Once a regular gal, she's now a vampire. And instead of a bride, she's an eternal bridesmaid -- which leads her to question where exactly her relationship with her irresistibly sexy sire, Gabriel, is headed. Mercurial, enigmatic, apparently commitment-phobic vampires are nothing if not hard to read. While Jane is trying to master undead dating, she is also donning the ugliest bridesmaid's dress in history at her best friend Zeb's Titanic-themed wedding. Between a freaked-out groom-to-be, his hostile werewolf in-laws, and Zeb's mother, hell-bent on seeing Jane walk the aisle with Zeb, Jane's got the feeling she's just rearranging the proverbial deck chairs.

Meanwhile, Half Moon Hollow's own Black Widow, Jane's Grandma Ruthie, has met her match in her latest fiancé. He smells like bad cheese and has a suspicious history of dead spouses. But Jane's biting her tongue. After all, would a nice girl really think she has a future with a vampire?

Re: A hysterical novel in which to escape from the mundane world.

Her first book wasn't bad at all, I'm sure this one will be even better
