"The thing to remember about a 'stray' vampire is that there is probably a good reason he is friendless, alone, and wounded. Approach with caution."
Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollow's only daytime vampire concierge, knows more about the undead than she'd like. Running their daylight errands-from letting in the plumber to picking up some chilled Faux Type O-gives her a look at the not-so-glamorous side of vamps. Her rules are strict; relationships are purely business, not friendship-and certainly not anything more. Then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and her quiet life turns upside down.
Cal-who would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris thought vampires were sexy-offers Iris a hefty fee for hiding him at her place. And even though he's imperious, unfriendly, and doesn't seem to understand the difference between "employee" and "servant," she agrees. But as they search for who wants him permanently dead, Iris is breaking more and more of her own rules . . . particularly those about nudity. Could it be that what she really needs is some intrigue and romance-and her very own stray vampire?
I really like Molly Harper and her Half Moon Hollow gang.
In this book we spend time with Iris Scanlon, who was the wedding planner for Jane and Gabriel's wedding and who owns the limo in Driving Mr. Dead.
I liked getting to know Iris and her teenage sister, Gigi, who Iris has been raising since their parents died.
Cal, our stray vampire, was a great character and I loved how he interacted with Gigi, including meeting her date at the door and giving him the once over and the fatherly type warning about bringing Gigi home before curfew.
We did get to spend time with Jane, Andrea and Jolene at the bookstore when Iris stops in to get some books, so that was a big plus!
