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.
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?
