Publisher's summary

Miranda Puckett has failed at every job she’s ever had. Her mother just wants her to come home, join the family law firm, and settle down with Jason, the perfect lawyer boyfriend. But when Jason turns out to be a lying cheater, Miranda seizes on a job that gets her out of town: long-distance vampire transportation.

Her first assignment is to drive vampire Collin Sutherland from Washington to sleepy Half Moon Hollow without incident—no small feat for a woman whom trouble seems to follow like a faithful hound dog! And she has to do it without letting her passenger—the most persnickety, stuffy, devastatingly handsome vamp she’s ever met—drive her crazy. As she and Collin find disaster on the roads, they also find an undeniable spark between them. Could Miranda have found the perfect job and the perfect guy for her?

Fun and Funny!!

Being a die hard Romance reader - now and then I enjoy taking a break from serious, arduous romance novels to take pleasure in something lighter. Molly Harper never disappoints. Driving Mr Dead will steep your interest and amuse, to say the least.

I enjoyed this story so much that I have since gifted it to many friends, as well as 'The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires'.
Do yourself a favour and take a delightful trip with Miranda's quick-witted dry humour and Colin's contemptuous dry personality. And journey down this mismatched, entertaining road of charming courtship.

P.S. Amanda Ronconi's narration is faultless in bringing the story and protagonist's to life.
P.P.S. Listening warning - not recommended on morning commutes to work, many LOL moments are sure to beget your embarrassment in public areas.
P.P.S. You will appreciate Post Scripts by chapter four.

Nice Fun Quick Read

Any additional comments?

A nice Quick listen rather than read. The narrator does a good job of hooking you into the roles of the characters and the story is fun and entertaining.

Hilarious , Fun , and Extremely Entertaining.

Would you listen to Driving Mr. Dead again? Why?

This new entry into the Hollow Vampires was so much fun to listen to. If this was a book one is reading it would be hard to put down, and even harder to pause & stop listening to. The constant situations described are done with such reality & hilarity - that it's an extremely captivating listen of the adventures of our Heroine. The narrator is wonderful & she perfectly nails the constant on goings of the journey made. A very fun story in this tale by Molly Harper White & narrated by Amanda Ronconi. They are a perfect team.

Who was your favorite character and why?

the sleazeball boyfriend, our heroine was ever trying to decide her future with. The perfect bonehead boyfriend whose

Have you listened to any of Amanda Ronconi’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This one was just as good as any of her other Jane Jamison reads - a wonderful narrator. Perfect characterization that makes the story come to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely!

Any additional comments?

Such a fun, lively listen.

High Hopes Dashed

Would you try another book from Molly Harper and/or Amanda Ronconi?

Narrated well - would listen to Amanda Ronconi again.
Skeptical about reading another book by Molly Harper.

What was most disappointing about Molly Harper’s story?

Shallow character development; eye-rolling ridiculous scenes.

Did Amanda Ronconi do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Amanda's performance was entertaining; good character differentiation.

Was Driving Mr. Dead worth the listening time?

Only barely.

Any additional comments?

This was about the most disappointing book I've listened to in several years. Perhaps it's the inevitable comparison with the Twilight books, and this, to me, was quite inferior. The character development was very shallow. The story, overall, was simple and superficial; very lacking in depth. It was entertaining enough that I finished, but only just. The narration was very pleasant, and that helped.

One hilarious mishap after another

I had to keep listening to find out what crazy thing would happen next. Amanda Ronconi's narration was amazing, as always. She brings the characters to life, each with a different voice and speech pattern. I highly recommend this book when you need a good laugh and to escape from reality for a bit.
