Hi Cara,
Today I am reviewing Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men by Molly Harper. This is the second book in the Jane Jameson series. The first book in the series is Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs. I listened to the book and the narrator is Amanda Ronconi.
With her best friend Zeb’s Titanic-themed wedding looming ahead, new vampire Jane Jameson struggles to develop her budding relationship with her enigmatic sire, Gabriel. It seems unfair that she’s expected to master undead dating while dealing with a groom heading for a nuptial nervous breakdown, his hostile werewolf in-laws, and the ugliest bridesmaid dress in the history of marriage.
Meanwhile, the passing of Jane’s future step-grandpa puts Grandma Ruthie back on the market. Her new fiancé, Wilbur, has his own history of suspiciously dead spouses, and he may or may not have died ten years ago. Half-Moon Hollow’s own Black Widow has finally met her match.
Should Jane warn her grandmother of Wilbur’s marital habits or let things run their course? Will Jane always be an undead bridesmaid, never the undead bride?
Combining Mary Janice Davidson’s sass and the charm of Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels, this is an incredibly satisfying read for fans of paranormal romantic comedy.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men has great humour, romance, mystery and a wedding.
The overlaying story thread is Zeb and Jolene wedding and the planning of it. The main issue of the wedding didn't surprise me. I could see it coming. But I enjoyed the ride.
Jane family are another aspect of the story. Jane family is one that I wouldn't want to be a part of. If you know Reddit's I am the Asshole, Jane could write a post about what going on with her sister and she would be voted NTA.
I love Jane as a character, she is sarcastic, smart, funny and loyal. I would want to be her friend. I also would be reacting the same way Jane does with her relationship with Gabriel.
What took me by surprise was that I cried when listening to the book. I won't tell you why but it hit me in the heart.
I liked Amanda as a narrator. I wish the male voices were a little stronger. But overall I enjoyed the voice she gave Jane and it brought life to the book.
My rating for Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men is 4 out of 5.
