Genre: Urban Fantasy

Review: In this book which plays on the vampire craze; Jane Jameson lives in a world where Vampires are out, but no one in her small home town would admit it. After getting fired and having just a little bit too much to drink, Jane finds herself on the side of the road with the handsome stranger she met earlier that night at the bar. This was the last night of Jane's life, literally. She wakes up three days later a newly formed vampire and has to adapt to her new lifestyle.

I will admit that in general, I am not a vampire fan. Of course I read Twilight, but when people ask team Edward or team Jacob, the idea of warm and soft versus cold and hard... yeah. I have not read the Sookie Stackhouse series yet (even though HBO's summer series is a dirty little secret of mine!) So, perhaps you will not agree with my opinion on this book. It was well-written (though didn't feel so original) and I found myself to be a little more sympathetic for Jane than for some of these Vapid Vamp girls in other books (not including the aforementioned and most popular). It just didn't do it for me. I really want to be a vampire girl, I do. (Mainly because all of my friends are. That is probably why I keep reading these books, even though I complain a lot!) I am just old school, I guess. I am all about staking vampires, not kissing them.

Author: Molly Harper started writing in third grade, where she reports that she set up a "writing office" in her parent's living room complete with type-writer and play telephone. She then attended the University of Kentucky and obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Print Journalism. Her husband was a police officer and after having children, she took a nice nine to five job to be home with her children. When her husband was working nights, she decided to start writing a novel. From that came the Nice Girls Don't Have fangs series, which was first published in 2009. Since then she has had three in that series, two werewolf-based novels, and one wife gets revenge on a cheating husband novel published. She has another in the Vampire series coming out this year.

Rating *** 3 out of 5 stars.
