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.

Love this series !

What made the experience of listening to The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires the most enjoyable?

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires?

the plot twist ! I didn't see it coming !

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

Her great character voices

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

They all make me laugh. I love her happy endings. I hate it when the story ends.

Very Fun

Perfect narrator. Amanda give each character life through voice. Harper is hilirious, spinning comedy, mystery and romance to create a fun read/listen. This book goes before The Undead Christmas book. I downloaded that one free over the holiday. So it was great to read this one to understand the dynamics of Iris,Gigi & Cal. I wish the Undead Christmas was longer though.

My ONLY bone of contention is EVERY book Harper has penned for the Jane Jamason series and/or spin offs drags you though the back story of Arnie Frink or brings up how Jane was turned into a vampire. I feel its over done. I mean not to critize Harper. I truly love these books. The romance is sexy but not erotic to the point of uncomfortable. I laugh out loud within each chapter over something someone says/thinks. I'm just tired of hearing what I already know. Its a waste. If your reading these books, you already know those important facts. Why keep reminding us?

Enjoyable

As always Molly Harper never fails to enthrall and entertain. The narrator was pretty good.

Funny and Quirky

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

I thought it was funny and quirky. The story was semi light but the report between the two characters was like ting and yang and full of sarcasm...which I personally enjoy.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked the sister. She called like she saw it. But the main characters did the same
