And this author always delivers a good laugh. This book let me laugh and I needed that. You ha...
A fun, snarky LOL read. Iris is working hard at getting her Vampire concierge business off the ground. She stops to drop of a contract to a new client and instead trips over his body in the kitchen. He has been poisoned but alive. Iris brings Cletus to her house and for an ungodly sum of money takes care of him. She refuses to call him Cletus, because she can't say it with a straight face so she calls him Cam instead. The feelings that he is stirring up in her are free of charge. Cam for his par...
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsThis is the 4th Molly Harper title that I have read and it's official, I'm a fan! I will definitely be checking out her Nice Girls series sooner than later. That being said, The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires is a feel-good-read that's sure to put a smile on your face. Amanda Ronconi's narration is cheerful and bouncy, the how-to tips at the beginning of each chapter are giggle-worthy and Harper's writing is injected with some good ol' fashion Southern charm. If you'r...
5 Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires StarsIf you are a Molly Harper Virgin.. WHAT are you WAITING for????? I am here to tell you she can right the poo out of a book.. .I mean seriously you will LAUGH OUT LOUD people! She takes Vampires to a new level, this was the second time I have read this book.. And I will read her books again and again. Iris is a “day walker” human. Who works for Vampires, her business name is Beeline, she does the mundane tasks that Vampires can’t. Stuff that can’t be done...
My interest in a series tends to wane after the second or third book. It's not often that I'll get past the fifth book in a series, but here I am returning to Half Moon Hollow, KY for the sixth time and I'm still feeling the love. I don't know how Molly Harper does it. The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires follows the same basic pattern of all the Jane Jameson / Half Moon Hollow books and, some of her characters - particularly her male characters are cookie cutter similar...
I know I'm on an island with this review because I could have skipped this one. Not her best. I felt like I should read it because it is the first in this series but I did not like these characters as well as the others in this series. It lacked her regular lol humor. It seemed like just when the story started to ramp up, an unnecessary sex scene would pop up out of nowhere and drag it back into sillyville. Amanda Ronconi did her usual good job.
I rarely read PNR books so if you are a jaded PNR reader, check out Tash's review. This review is more beneficial for those people who doesn't read much PNR books :) The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires is just like those typical PNR books where the vampire is being massive aloof jerk who salivates for the heroine's warm pulsing body. We usually read about Vampire Kings, Vampire assassin,Vampires who's a part of the council, Vampires who have gone rogue and Vampires who sparkle.*eye roll*The C...
First Read on 19 April, 2017Reread on 23 March, 2019Original rating: 3.5 StarsReread this book after finishing the Jane Jameson Series and enjoyed it more than the first time. So I've rounded it to 4 stars. "The first rule of caring for a stray vampire: Don't tell anyone, you're taking care of a Stray Vampire."Iris Scanlon is the only day time vampire concierge of Half Moon Hollows. She is also raising her sister Gigi, who is quite an obnoxious teenager. She finds her new client Cletus Calix, sp...
Word on the mean streets (that's goodreads, just so you know) is that this book was funny, so I thought, "Okay, I'll bite."("I'll bite" <- see what I did there? It's a vampire book. I'm clever like that..)This book is about a candy-addicted lady named Iris who runs daytime errands for creepy vampires. She is also raising her 17 year old sister, Gigi, after their parents died in a car accident. Not an easy task! Raising teenagers is not for the weak. I should know - I've raised three and barely m...
4 starsThis book nearly had potential of me loving it. This author is seriously talented. Her writing was amazing, the characters quirky and the plot was interesting. Me being the romantic that i am, wished there was more romance and heat between the characters. There was only a low sizzle in my opinion and there was so much potential of these two being my favourite couple. I loved them separately- Iris the human heroine was snarky, independent and i loved that she took care of her 17 year old s...
I feel as if I outlasted my appreciation for the author's work. Since the naked werewolf trilogy, which I've liked, everything else has became less appealing, with one or two exceptions.This story was very plain, clichéd, not funny to me as it states although that wouldn't be such a negative factor had the overall plot been additive but no.. it just wasn't for me anymore.
If you're looking for a trope-free human & vampire PNR-This is not it.The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires is about vampire liaison/day-walker/botanist/single parent/small business owner Iris Scanlon. She has a rigid business only policy in dealing with her clients until she signs on new client, Cletus Calix. They get entangled in Vampire Council business, insert (convoluted plot to harm mankind) and (unconvincing villain).2.5 rounded up stars for my enjoyment of the banter between the charact...
An entertaining PNR. I found the world this author created very interesting. Ten years ago vampires were outed to society because one vampire, who also happened to be an accounted, wanted to keep his job but HR at his office refused to have him work at night. So he had no other choice but to sue them, telling the court as a vampire he had no choice but to work at night, and so vampires were revealed to the world. I found that very funny ;-D The heroine Iris Scanlon is a daytime vampire concierge...
I can't resist Molly Harper's books. Her humor so exactly fits my own and I like her quirky characters. This book isn't my favorite, but I enjoyed it very much.In this book, Harper branches away from Jane and friends (though they do the occasional bit parts). In this case, we meet Iris Scanlon who is working as something of a concierge for vampires in town--something the older, less-couth vampires call a daywalker. Mostly, she runs errands and shepherds paperwork. She's careful to keep to just t...
Before starting this I was expecting it to be over the top, cheesy and just silly. Clearly it wasn't as I've rated it 4 stars. Apart from a little bit in the middle that dragged, I loved it. There was just the right amount of humour (mostly between the sisters), the resentful sexual chemistry between the pair was hot and it had enough of a plot to plump the whole thing out.
In this cute return to Half Moon Hollow, Iris, friend of Jane Jameson, is a vampire assistant who takes care of personal tasks for the undead during the day. She comes across Cal after a murder attempt and winds up taking him home while he recuperates. I always enjoy Molly Harper’s blend of paranormal and humor. Cal and Iris have a cute romance as they work to figure out who’s behind the murder attempt and I enjoyed the family and friends relationships in this one, too. Go sisters! Please excuse...
I have to say that I really love Molly Harper and the world that she has created here. I loved the Nice Girl series and the characters that were introduced there which made me more than willing to continue. The fact that they are to be found here in this new series is perfect because it is the same world and makes sense that they would be aware of who they are. The new characters were on the sidelines of the story all along and are now taking center stage. While I have never lived in a small tow...
I recommend this as a fun, light hearted read if you're having trouble sleeping, if you're lonely, and if you just want a short read. Just make sure you're okay with tropes! Fun, eye-rolling, but you will get some smiles (or almost-smiles).
Fun, typical Molly Harper read. I got this in paperback, and I enjoyed reading it that way because it went with the "older romance" vibe, though I'm not sure if this book is as dated as it felt. I don't love, love Molly Harper, but I enjoyed this one as much as I ever do. Cute, vampire blood-sucking fun with a little mystery on the side. goodreads|instagram|twitter|blog
"The man was just unsettling; there was no other way to put it. I couldn't seem to get my conversational bearings around him. And clearly, he had a negative impact on my decision-making skills, because I'd agreed to cohabitate with someone who was cranky, condescending, and prone to bouts of staggering insensitivity. If I'd wanted that, I'd get a cat."❖ ❖ ❖❖ ❖ ❖❖ ❖ ❖❖ ❖ ❖❖ ❖ ❖❖ ❖ ❖❖ ❖ ❖❖ ❖ ❖ Meet Iris Scanlon, daytime assistant to the undead. Iris owns and operates the only vampire concierge ser...
