Publisher's summary

Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollow's only daytime vampire concierge, knows more about the undead than she'd like. Running all their daylight errands - from letting in the plumber to picking up some chilled O neg - gives her a look at the not-so-glamorous side of vampire life. Her rules are strict; relationships with vamps are strictly business, not friendship - and certainly not anything else. But then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and only Iris can help.

Cal - who would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris allowed herself to think that way - offers Iris a hefty fee for hiding him at her place until he figures out who wants him permanently dead. Even though he's imperious, unfriendly, and doesn't seem to understand the difference between "employee" and "servant", Iris agrees, and finds herself breaking more and more of her own rules to help him - particularly those concerning nudity. Turns out what her quiet little life needed was some intrigue and romance - in the form of her very own stray vampire.

Funny... Sexy... On point!

Any additional comments?

This is the story that doesn't leave you feeling frustrated. a good and easy read. I love it when the characters are not too perfect. Both male and female leads are very consistent and maintain their identities well through out the story. i hate it when the characters develop way too much that by the time i finished the book i barely register where i started.

Funny. It had me cracking up in the middle of last night. I finished this in one day. I barely paused for meals.

Grab it!

Funny & Dramatic!

What did you love best about The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires?

Such a refreshing change from the same old story line, boy meets girl, girl plays hard to get, boy is a self made millionaire! I was reluctant w this book, but soo glad I got it! Funny, sarcastic humor yet a plot! Thank you!

Still haven't found 1 to compete with Cat & Bones

What did you love best about The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires?

Believe it or not the so called "snark" other reviewers, doesn't compare to Tavia Gilberts readings. I liked GG's character best.

What did you like best about this story?

Iris' knowledge of Botany. It put an interesting twist on the poison.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Amanda Ronconi?

She is not one of my favorite narrators.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did laugh in a few parts of the ending. The love scenes left me thinking, did they just do it? I'd hear her thinking about her past lovemaking session and think "how did I miss that?" So I had to rewind and find the kiss or whatever.

Any additional comments?

If you like her you will LOVE Tavia Gilbert reading the Bones and Cat novels.

Good fun read

I enjoyed this red. Audible did a 2 for 1 credit deal and I stumbled upon this gem. it's a nice take on vampire work. the mystery was crazy good, I didn't expect the mastermind.
