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)

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.

I'm inocent

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!

I have all the books (eBook AND print). but Jane's personal series has a special place in my heart. Can't wait for the latest book... October is too far away 😭.

Converted me.

Not a paranormal romance guy. Listened anyway. Died laughing. Came back as a vampire. 8/10.

Great Author!

Wonderful books by a wonderful writer and read by a great voice. Love all of Molly’s book that I have heard thus far.

Vampire librarian

Jane Jameson is a small town librarian who gets killed by a drunken idiot who mistakes her for a deer. But this is not how this story ends. Jane is turned into a vampire and she is hilarious as a vampire. She over analyze things and has no idea what is going on. There were moments I almost cried I was laughing so much. I loved Jane and her friends they make this book everything it is. The small town antics make this even better and funny. Also Jane’s ghost great aunt makes it even funnier. Jane has to figure out why someone seems to want her undead life to end shortly and she is going to have to use all the new friends she makes in this supernatural world. This series is a must because of the witty characters and funny dialogue.

Fun book, okay narration.

I really enjoy Harper's writing, but I did not like the voice the audio narrator chose for the male lead, being below her pitch and somewhat inconsistent. her variance in the female characters is great, though!

I've got yuck for Jane

Love the story and all of the characters except Jane - the main one. I get the humor but her attitude is horrible.
