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)

didn't expect to like it

I didn't realize I bought this and didn't think I'd like it as I am not into vampire books but I loved it! so much that I bought the entire series.

Silly and light hearted

This was a totally light-hearted take on vampires that was so enjoyable to listen too. It reminds me a lot of the Sookie Stackhouse books, but is more of a comedic take with very few serious moments. This is the first comedy from a vampire's perspective that I have ever read. It was really just what I needed as a distraction, I am glad there are more books in the series.

Light, hilarious

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

The witty dialogue and humor made me laugh out loud, rare for me even with a comedy.

What other book might you compare Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs to and why?

I like the werewolf books by Patricia Briggs, although they are not comedies.

Which character – as performed by Amanda Ronconi – was your favorite?

The main character -- it was a first-person book.

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

I listened to it over a day or two. It was not suspenseful, but it was enjoyable.

Any additional comments?

I am deciding whether to purchase more in the series. I would listen more for the humor than for the characters.

Wonderful world building-Funny!

I recently read some of the Southern Eclectic Series by this author and really enjoyed those so when I saw this book I thought I would give it a try. I used to read a lot of paranormal romance. I haven't read much in that genre lately, but this book is changing that. I loved the world building in this book. I so understood Jane's southern roots and her sarcastic humor. I am looking forward to reading more in this series. I devoured this book. Listened to it one 24 hour period.

One of my favorites!!!

I love Jane and Gabriel but my favorite character is Dick Chaney!!! I love every time I listen to this book. It's not a deep read. You will not find yourself reading this book. But it will make you laugh out loud and moments later you will still be smiling.

Funny!

Would you listen to Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs again? Why?

Yes, I would listen again, in fact I did in order to hear the funny parts again. The characters are entertaining.

Which character – as performed by Amanda Ronconi – was your favorite?

All the characters were well done.

Loved it!

This book made me laugh out loud! I Will definitely purchase more in the series.

Started meh...

Started listening to this book out loud while cleaning house, after an hour I had to turn it off, it was rather juvenile and predictable. My husband was listening also, actually rolled his eyes.

I later put my earbuds in and for lack of anything else loaded, finished the story. I am glad I did, the characters are very predictable, but the story was funny and got less eye rolling as went along. All in all, glad I finished. I actually purchased the second book.

It's a sit-com that's what it is.

I am not at all sure that I would want to listen to another book from the Jane Jameson books.It is kind of entertaining and I do not think it is bad. I just feel like I am listening to a sit com about a newly made vampire, her sire, her best friend ext. the thing is I find myself waiting for a laugh track. there are some funny moments but there are lots of times I feel the author is trying too hard and is missing the mark. I seriously could see this as a TV series and some people would like it a lot. I am very picky about sit- coms I would compare "Nice Girls Don't have fangs" to "New Girl" as a vampire
