The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires

By: Molly Harper

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.

Very enjoyable read/listen!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Molly Harper is so clever and witty and Amanda Ronconi is perfect in her narration.

Loved It!

Humorous and suspenseful, I laughed and wiped a couple tears, while I'm not terribly romantic, this story did grab my heartstrings a couple times, Ms Harper can definitely write a story!
Ms. Ronconi's narration was spot on!

Pleasant parallel story to the first in the series

Love the Half-Moon Hallow series and was pleasantly surprised to find this to be a slight spinoff of the first few in the series. This could be a standalone book or at least a 1st in series if you haven't read any of the first 3 yet. But of course you would enjoy this book for having read the previous in series.

Deliciously Delightful!

I don't know why I chose to read book 1 last then the rest of the series but it doesn't disappoint at all. I love all the characters. Molly Harper is exceptionally talented bringing the witty miss Iris and sister Gigi to my heart. The love affair & mystery is fabulously written and blends with the other books in this series.

An easy listen with Amanda Ronconi who has superb dialect bringing the sassy sisters to life. I love hearing her voice.

I've enjoyed all of her books and am looking forward to another one of her treasures.

Good story! Great narrator!

Typical fantasy romance story with likable characters and interesting backstory weaved in. This is the first book I've listened to by Molly Harper and I'm looking forward to more.

Another fun performance

Where does The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

High up--I really enjoy the witty banter in Molly Harper's books, despite the highly improbable plot lines

Dark

This was a lot darker then previous books. Still a good book but it was a real change of tone for the series.

Wicked Wit and A Laugh A Minute!

Pull your candies from their hiding spots and enjoy this book! I loved it and reread it several times and it always makes me smile! I love the clever humor, suspense and dabble of sexy Ms. Harper throws in this book. If you like your vampires and a good romance...this series has it all. Read the series from book one and everything will make perfect sense.

Typically entertaining

I really like this author, and the narrator 'gets' her characters. Sharp, quick witted and fun.

Cal Meets His Match in Iris

This was my first audio book/book by Molly Harper and it won't be my last. I was laughing out loud at Iris' snarkiness. She sure put Cal in his place. And her sister Gigi was just as fun. Iris just kept cracking me up with all the things she thinks and does. Great story. On my way to the others. Thanks Ms. Harper for a fun time.
