Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men (Half-Moon Hollow, #2) (Jane Jameson, #2)

by Molly Harper


Following Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs, the second in a hilarious, smart, sexy romantic series about an out-of-work librarian who is turned into a vampire.

With her best friend Zeb's Titanic-themed wedding looming ahead, new vampire Jane Jameson struggles to develop her budding relationship with her enigmatic sire, Gabriel. It seems unfair that she's expected to master undead dating while dealing with a groom heading for a nuptial nervous breakdown, his hostile werewolf in-laws, and the ugliest bridesmaid dress in the history of marriage.

Meanwhile, the passing of Jane's future step-grandpa puts Grandma Ruthie back on the market. Her new fiance, Wilbur, has his own history of suspiciously dead spouses, and he may or may not have died ten years ago. Half-Moon Hollow's own Black Widow has finally met her match.

Should Jane warn her grandmother of Wilbur's marital habits or let things run their course? Will Jane always be an undead bridesmaid, never the undead bride?

Combining Mary Janice Davidson's sass and the charm of Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse novels, this is an incredibly satisfying read for fans of paranormal romantic comedy.

Oh my sweet lord! (Read that in a Southern accent, not an Australian one, please.) Poor Jane is torn between keeping Zeb alive through his ‘hazing’ by Jolene’s family members, and fighting him off with a stick. Our sassy, sarcastic former-librarian is back and at least this time someone is not actively trying to kill her. Well, probably.

Jane is ‘best maid’ at the wedding of Jolene Maclaine and Zeb Lavelle, and has to wear a horrifying peach nightmare to play her part properly. Part of those duties requires her to shield the bride-to-be from some of her future mother-in-law’s antics – although no-one thought they would have to save Zeb from his mama’s crazy antics.

Mama Ginger, Zeb’s over-baring, slightly-nutty mother has been planning Zeb’s wedding for years. His wedding to Jane that is. So you can imagine that her opinion of Zeb marrying Jolene was not a positive one.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys PNR with humour and genuinely interesting characters.
