Paranormal Romance
Iris Scanlon is a daywalker for vampires. As a human, she
helps them with their daytime needs such as event planning
and running their errands through her company Beeline.
Iris prefers to never meet her clients as she isn't
interested in becoming lunch.
So therefore contracts are dropped off at their house, she
enters their homes while they sleep to drop off their
supplies, and everything is done by phone or email without
any in person interaction. Unfortunately, Iris' plan to
stay away from vampires is put to a halt when she meets her
newest client Mr. Calix.
Iris stumbles upon Mr. Calix passed out on his kitchen
floor during the day. She realizes something isn't right
and after almost becoming his next meal, Iris finds out his
blood supply has been poisoned and that is why he is lying
on the floor very sick.
It is obvious that someone is out to get Mr. Calix. Iris
has no choice but to throw all of her rules out the window
and agrees to let him hide out at her house for a week. And
she will accept a nice little payment of $25,000 for her
troubles.
Mr. Calix aka nicknamed Cal by Iris, is investigating who
would try to poison him. In the meantime Iris has to make
sure Cal stays hidden from the Vampire Council and that is
getting harder to do. When Iris becomes their newest target
she fears for her life as well as her sister Gigi's who
lives with her.
Will Iris and Cal uncover who the bad vampire is and why
they want to kill him or will Iris become their next
victim?
THE CARE AND FEEDING OF STRAY VAMPIRES is the first book in
a new series which is a spin off from the Nice Girl Series.
Iris Scanlon was first introduced in the Nice Girls Series
as Jane's wedding planner and friend. Although I had heard
of Molly Harper's books before, I never had the pleasure of
reading any of them until now. But, boy am I happy that I
finally did!
I knew this was going to be a hilarious book after reading
the first line of the book. ''How did an internal debate
regarding flavored sexual aids become part of my workday?''
And that first line did not disappoint, it only got better
from there!
THE CARE AND FEEDING OF STRAY VAMPIRES is a paranormal
romance with a touch of mystery, suspense and a healthy
dose of humor. The story is told in first person point of
view which is my favorite POV to read as I enjoy the closer
interaction with the main character.
I would recommend Molly Harper's books to fans of Michelle
Rowen's Immortality Bites Series. I had to force myself to
read this book slower than normal because I did not want it
to end. I loved every page and cannot wait to pick up every
book in Molly Harper's back list.
Overall, THE CARE AND FEEDING OF STRAY VAMPIRES is an A+
book that I thoroughly loved! Great suspense, romance,
humor, everything just meshed together brilliantly to make
it a perfect story in my book.
SUMMARY
Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollow's only daytime vampire
concierge, knows more about the undead than she'd like.
Running all their daylight errands--from letting in the
plumber to picking up some chilled O neg--gives her a look
at the not-so-glamorous side of vampire life. Her rules are
strict; relationships with vamps are strictly business, not
friendship--and certainly not anything else. But then she
finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor,
and only Iris can help. Cal - who would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris allowed
herself to think that way - offers Iris a hefty fee for
hiding him at her place until he figures out who wants him
permanently dead. Even though he's imperious, unfriendly and
doesn't seem to understand the difference between "employee"
and "servant," Iris agrees, and finds herself breaking more
and more of her own rules to help him - particularly those
concerning nudity. Turns out what her quiet little life
needed was some intrigue & romance--in the form of her very
own stray vampire.
