The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires

By: Molly Harper

Narrated by: Amanda Ronconi

Length: 9 hrs and 10 mins

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.

Can do no wrong!

I have fallen in love with Molly Harper's books and no one else is allowed to perform them except for Amanda Ronconi. Her voicing is flawless and her accents are far from annoying. The story itself is a great introduction to the Half Moon Hollow culture. It is a little out of sequence if you choose this one first, but not enough to ruin the other books in the series.

love molly harper a lot

I love half moon hollow series.. please keep coming out with new additions. yay audible

Back to Half Mood Hollow!!!!

If you could sum up The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires in three words, what would they be?

Chaos, Vampire, and Road-Trip. If that doesn't grab you attention, nothing will!

What other book might you compare The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires to and why?

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs. This story brought us back to Half Moon Hollow, introduced us to more residents of the most paranormal SOUTHERN town in America!!

What does Amanda Ronconi bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The sarcastic wit of Molly Harper's writing. Reading it just wouldn't have the same flair, nor the Southern twang that adds another level to the story.

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

Always, always, A L W A Y S, laugh my ass off.

Brilliant!

What does Amanda Ronconi bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book! It was so funny at times and had a good plot with some great action and a couple of hot scenes! I loved the interactions between Cal and Iris and between them and Gigi too! In fact I liked just about all the characters and loved seeing them all interact! I really look forward to the rest of the series!

Another winner!

Any additional comments?

I've listened to all of Molly Harper's Audible offerings, and haven't been disappointed yet! The person that choose Amanda Ronconi to narrate these books should be given a huge bonus! She brings the characters to life and makes them "human" and loveable! I was never a fan of the current vampiric genre, but this series is one of my favorite "go-to" romps for light, mood lifting fun! I can't wait for more! Give Molly and Amanda a chance, you wont' regret it!

Good book

There are several memorable moments and as a Molly fan it brings in the peripheral characters that from the "Nice Girls" series and how they fit in.

Any additional comments?

Molly Harper's books are a riot! Amanda Ronconi's performance of them is spot on. I end up laughing so hard I've had to pull over a couple times! On a recent long range trip I even got my husband hooked on them. He's now a big Harper/Ranconi fan too and only has one book to go. I have bought EVERY Molly Harper book and I've never been disappointed.

An amusing diversion

This book is a quick listen. I really enjoyed it's light hearted humour and the storyline was pretty good too. It made an excellent change from my usual fare of fantasy and hard-core murder mysteries. Next time I need a break I will pick up another book in the series.
