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.

YAY MORE HOLLOWS

Its no secret that I love Molly Harper. Specifically Molly Harper as read by Amanda Ronconi. I don't know what makes the combo work so well, but it does.

For me, all of these books are like coming back home.

Narrator has trouble with accents

Love Amanda Ronconi and look for books that she narrates but her character accents leave a bit to be desired

She's back!

Molly Harper does it again. More witty repartee -- another fun read. She uses a clever way to continue to connect with past characters. It's entertaining to go back to the Hollow and catch up a little with Jane, Andrea and Jolene. Do miss Zeb, Dick and Gabriel, though.

I wonder if Ms. Harper would consider doing another "Nice Girls" book about Jane and Jamie? In my opinion, Jane is the most entertaining as she comes with her wonderful and zany family. When Jane and Zeb get together, it's generally pretty funny.

Overall though, as long as Molly Harper keeps writing, I'm a happy camper. It's such fun to find books like hers that give me good laughs consistently.

Speaking of which, I'd love to know what's happening in Grundy, Alaska these days.

hooked

What about Amanda Ronconi’s performance did you like?

She didn't over do it, and she made it more conversational. I enjoyed this book from the first word to the last. I never wanted the book to end but I'm glad it did I could use the sleep.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Classy sassy and a bit smart assy.

Any additional comments?

If you can put this book down you are a stronger one than I.

Vampire Light

In the top 25 list

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

I really can't compare it to anything else I read, Molly Harper books are fun to read. I usually read books that have a heavier story. I read Molly's books when I want to feel good and laugh.

Which scene was your favorite?

Not sure, I liked the antics on the road most of all.

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

No not really, but that is only because I like to stretch out books that are lighthearted and entertaining,

Any additional comments?

It takes a special person to write this type of entertaining book and Molly Harper is that kind of writer.
