Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs
Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs | Molly Harper
40 posts | 41 read | 34 to read
Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. When children's librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed twenty-five dollars in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that's sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she's mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead. And thanks to the mysterious stranger she met while chugging neon-colored cocktails, she wakes up with a decidedly unladylike thirst for blood. Jane is now the latest recipient of a gift basket from the Newly Undead Welcoming Committee, and her life-after-lifestyle is taking some getting used to. Her recently deceased favorite aunt is now her ghostly roommate. She has to fake breathing and endure daytime hours to avoid coming out of the coffin to her family. She's forced to forgo her favorite down-home Southern cooking for bags of O negative. Her relationship with her sexy, mercurial vampire sire keeps running hot and cold. And if all that wasn't enough, it looks like someone in Half Moon Hollow is trying to frame her for a series of vampire murders. What's a nice undead girl to do?

#IdiomInsight

There‘s several theories on where #BiteTheBullet came from. The most well known is that before there were anesthetics & soldiers had to endure painful procedures during the war, they would bite a bullet to distract them from the pain & keep them from biting their tongue or screaming.

Taking a different turn with this one from a favorite paranormal series. Jane Jameson is a librarian who is fired, gets drunk & then is shot by a ⬇️

DebinHawaii …a drunken hunter. Vampire Gabriel must turn her into a vampire to save her. So there‘s the bullet & the bite! 😉 If you‘ve not read the series, this is the first book & it would be good for #Scarathlon 2023. 🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻 6mo

This is a reread for me. Love the character of Jane. She is intelligent and doesn't take crap from anyone. Her snarky dialog makes for some humorous scenes. The plot was fast paced and the characters worked so well with the story. I can picture a group of undead living in a small, rural town in the south. Makes for funny goodness. 4.5 ⭐️ #Scarathlon2022 @StayCurious #TeamMonsterMash

I post about these books often so it‘s no secret that Jane Jameson is my favorite #vampire along with Gabriel, Andrea, Dick Cheney (the vampire not the VP) & all the other vampires in Half-Moon Hollow. The audiobooks are my favorite because Molly Harper‘s snarky humor comes across even better when it‘s narrated by Amanda Ronconi. 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤🧛🏻‍♂️

#QuotsyAug21

For bottle, I had to go with another Jane Jameson quote about Jane Austen.🖤❤️😉

“I nuked a bottle of Faux Type O and pored over my personal library for something that would settle me. As usual, I came back to my dear Jane. Whenever I get restless or stressed I revisit Mansfield Park. Because I know that no matter how rough my life gets, at least I don‘t have to wear a corset and live with a stone-cold witch like Mrs. Norris.”

rwmg 🤢 Ewww. Why would you pour this stuff over your library? 3y
DebinHawaii @rwmg No books were harmed. Jane is a former librarian & current bookstore owner who loves books & she‘s also a vampire warming up & drinking a bottle of fake blood while looking through her library to find something to read & choosing Jane Austen. 3y

rwmg I've perpetrated some lulus in my time. I wouldn't have commented but I thought it might be in the original text, which is less forgivable. 3y
DebinHawaii @rwmg I didn‘t go back & check my source yet, but the way my week is going, I‘m pretty convinced it was all me or a combo of autocorrect & me as we “battle” sometimes. 🤣 3y

#QuotsyAug21 #single

I love that Jane Jameson loves Jane Austen & share her feelings when I read Persuasion.😉

“I returned my attention to poor, persevering Anne Elliot. Once again, I wondered how she managed to go so many chapters without bitch-slapping every single person she came in contact with. I actually wrote a paper about it in college. My professor deducted points for using the phrase ‘bitch-slap‘ in the title. It was totally worth it.”

Loved these books about Jane Jameson and how she became a vampire and the aftermath. They were funny and the MC was smart and had a snarky attitude. I know at some point I'll read these again.

This is a reread for me, I loved it the first time around when I read it, but it‘s definitely better on audio!

This audio book was an amusing delight at every turn. I laughed the whole way through the protagonist's vampire adventure. She had a snappy, sarcastic, southern sense of humor that I appreciated. The book is perfect for lighthearted stress relief.

Playing Catch-up. The chapters in the Jane Jameson books start with helpful advice from handbooks for new vampires. 🧛🏻‍♀️

#QuotsyJan20 #ditch
Jane Jameson was walking home after a bad day, mistook for a deer by a hunter, shot & fell into a ditch then turned into a vampire...

“Look, I don‘t want to tell the whole long sordid story, OK? Someday, when I‘m very drunk, I‘ll tell you. The bottom line is, I had no choice. It was either vampirism or lying dead in a ditch. Though over the last day or so, I‘ve been wondering whether I should have gone with door number two.”

#SoaringScores
Fired from a library job, car breaks down, walking home on dark country roads, mistaken for a deer & shot by a drunk hunter, then turned into a vampire is not #HowIWouldDie but it‘s how Jane Jameson did & now she has a pretty good (after)life in Half-Moon Hollow. I know I use Harper‘s books often for posts but the Cullens of Twilight are way too angsty. I‘d much rather hang out & laugh with snarky Jane & her friends.🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻‍♂️🖤

This book reminded me of Sookie Stackhouse a little. Jane becomes fired, drunk, broke down, shot, and woke up a vampire! Not the typical girl next door anymore, Jane has to figure out what being a vampire entails and find out who is trying to frame her for murder. The characters a well written, the plot is a little predictable but it was an enjoyable read!!

Bailing at 37 pages. Normally I don‘t bail that quickly but I just don‘t like the MC at all. Seemed like it would be totally up my alley but I can‘t get into it. Reading and watching the Twilight Saga with my pups bc the last few days have been way too peopley.

CoffeeK8 I like other ones in this series, but I couldn‘t get in to this one either 🤷‍♀️ 5y

Molly Harper creates such fun and quirky small towns & communities in her various series, she makes me want to live in these #imaginaryplaces or at least visit & hang out with her characters. Three are set in the south, one in Alaska. Three are chock full of paranormals & strange happenings & one is full of 'normal' but eccentric family members who run the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop.
All of them make me laugh... 🤣

I thought this book was a lot if fun, but about half through I figured out who the villain is and it became really tedious, especially when our clever protagonist held suspicions about a completely unlikely candidate. 🙄 Given that she had the same information I did, she should have been able to figure it out. Oh well. Like I said, still fun.

Cute audio book about a vampire who was a children's librarian. Reminds me of a paranormal Stephanie Plum story. While I liked it, I probably won't bother getting the rest of the books.

Day29 #booktober #supernaturalbeings Vampires, werewolves, shifters, witches, ghosts... Half Moon Hollow has them all. I love this series-they are like catnip on my Kindle. Fun & funny, they have the 4-S's that I look for in a comfort read... Smart, Snarky, & they make me Snicker & frequently Snort-laugh. The first 4 books featuring children's librarian, turned vampire Jane Jameson are my faves but there's another 10 great related books & stories.

MMenefee You've sold me on these books! And, they're in my library's ebook collection. #stacked 7y
