Publisher's summary

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 $25 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?

Love in vein: bite into more of Jane Jameson's paranormal exploits.

Critic reviews

"Hysterical laughs are the hallmark of this enchanting paranormal debut....Harper keeps the quips coming without overdoing the sarcasm, and her take on vampire lore will intrigue and entertain even the most jaded paranormal fan." ( Publishers Weekly)

Loved it

I have found my new series!! Next i think I'm going to start the naked werewolf series, hoping they crossover.

Jane is a normal girl with an abnormal problem.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you like the Sookie Stackhouse series you will love this. This book is full of that witty repartee and banter that we all like so much. You will find yourself cracking up so much that people will look at you to see if you are alright. Some of the best vampires happen by accident and Jane is no exception. She was on her was on her way home and BAM it happened. Now she has to deal with this and the family from hell. Once you read the first one you will be hooked. I dare ya. LOL

Jane's family and the bookstore.

Any additional comments?

Don't drink milk while listening, you might just end up spraying it out your nose. Enjoy.

Love it

This laugh out loud vampire paranormal is so good and snarky I did not want to quit listening. What a great start to a funny series that I can't wait to listen to the next one. Happy listening.

Fun and easy

Typical 1st book that has to prepare you for all that's to come. The mystery was sweet and easy to guess but cute anyway. I've heard this compared to sookie stackhouse. It is slightly similar bc it deals with vampires and other beings living in the real world. It also has mystery and humor. However, sookie captures you with heat and a quick storyline that weaves in and out of darkness. This is just fun all around.

Funny!!!!

Where does Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

#2, This book had me laughing from the beginning. She was really a nice girl, who got fangs.

Everything!!

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

Never!

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

Yes!

Any additional comments?

Audioable books have become a part of my life now. I sit all day behind a computer the ability to still (read) listen to books has made work a lot easier.

Surprisingly, I liked it

I tried this book after seeing that it had quite a few high ratings and people said it was funny. I like that the book isn't pretending to be something it's not and it feels like a bit of a satire of the Sookie Stackhouse novels. The summary doesn't lead you into thinking this book is about anything other than about a woman who suddenly gets turned into a vampire, either, which I appreciate after a few recent disaapointments. Also, Gabriel isn't too overbearing either, unlike some romantic love interests I can name.

Good ol' fun and laughter

The romance left a lot to be desired but it was fun all the same.

Funny and Addicting

What did you love best about Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs?

The author threw in some of those great thoughts we have about ourselves, but never express. Who hasn't told themselves "did I really just say that"???

What did you like best about this story?

The story flows from start to end. There are no dull spots and I just had to get back to listening as soon as I could. If I had purchased the written book, I never would have put it down!

What about Amanda Ronconi’s performance did you like?

She is easy to listen to. She was able to have different voices for most of the characters and she remembered them from appearance to appearance. Her tone of voice always matched the mood of the book at any one time.

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

DEFINITELY!

LIGHTHEARTED- FUNNY- & A VAMPIRE? NEVER HAPPENS!

I bought this book as a "take a chance" because I love the supernatural stories, vampires especially. But this one is definitely different! She's funny, like an improv comedienne on the stage! Almost every word out of her mouth is funny sarcasm or a one liner worthy of a premium TV channel! I liked this book enough to buy the second in the series and I am pretty sure I will finish the four books done so far. They are light hearted enough to keep me entertained and I just don't have to keep track of a lot of different story lines, just hers and she's funny as heck. On a bad day> I could find that I have a lot in common with her but I am actually a lot luckier than she is. Good book, highly recommend the story for those who like to laugh.

Hilarious!

I loved the humor! The narrator did a great job with different accents and voices.
I very much enjoyed this selection and look forward to listening to more from this author and voice over artist.
