Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs by Molly Harper
Jane Jameson has had a very, very bad day. First she loses her job as a librarian so her boss’s stepdaughter can be hired to do a less than mediocre job and play with fires (while working with the books!). To cap off the evening, she decides to drown her sorrows in liquor. But on her way home, her car just up and dies leaving her to walk, drunk in not so sensible sandals on dark, dirty country roads. Then of course she just has to fall in a ditch, which would have no been so very awful if she was not shot by another drunken idiot who had mistaken her for a deer. Seriously beyond all that, dying and waking up as a vampire was just icing on the cake.
Gabriel Nightengale saw Jane at the bar and somehow wanted to keep watch over her, protect her. So he kept her company while she drank fruity drinks, walked her to her vehicle and followed her on her way home. Something just compelled him to make sure she made it safely. Unfortunately, he did not follow closely enough to prevent her from…well…getting shot and bleeding to death. But he could save her life by giving her a chance at immortality. If he could just persuade her to accept his help and guidance now that she has awakened as the newly undead, it would make things a whole lot easier.
Could you believe there’s a welcoming committee for the newly undead? And a guide book? Well, there is! Now if only the guide came with basic instructions for women like Jane, then it would make the undead life a piece of cake. However, there are things about being a vampire that one just has to learn from experience - like be careful when picking a fight with any vampire, because they could end up deader than dead and you could be blamed for their murder.
Vampires have rules. Worse than that, they have their own judges and juries…and their own executioners, too. So Jane’s undead life might be cut short if she doesn’t figure out who framed her and soon.
If you are looking for a new read or a new author to get into, Molly Harper’s Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs is the book for you. It shows literary wit at its finest.

[...] the Full Review Here: Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs over at Bitten by [...]
Well, this looks like a comedy of errors. Poor Jane, that truely is a very, very bad day. I can see right off the bat that Molly is mixing in humor with her vamps.
I am definitely putting this on my ‘to read’ list.
She has some seriously bad luck… I can’t decide whether immortality is a good thing or a bad thing. In the long run, maybe not so good.
Looks like she is going to have a tough road ahead of her. I cant wait to read it and I would love to see a copy of that guide book.
Oh no! My TBR pile is going to fall over on me if it gets much taller! It actually sounds like a howling good time! I love reading about others hard times!
makes real life seem a little better! heehee
The review definitely gives a good sense of not only the story but the tone. I am really looking forward to reading this.
