Nice Girls Don't Live Forever by Molly Harper

Summery:
Nothing sucks the romance out of world travel like a boyfriend who may or may not have broken up with you in a hotel room in Brussels. Jane Jameson’s sexy sire, Gabriel, has always been unpredictable. But the seductive, anonymous notes that await him at each stop of their international vacation, coupled with his evasive behavior over the past few months, finally push Jane onto the next flight home to Half Moon Hollow — alone, upset, and unsure whether Gabriel just ended their relationship without actually telling her.
Now the children’s-librarian-turned-vampire is reviving with plenty of Faux Type O, some TLC from her colorful friends and family, and her plans for a Brave New Jane. Step One: Get her newly-renovated occult bookstore off the ground. Step Two: Support her best friend, Zeb, and his werewolf bride as they prepare for the impending birth of their baby . . . or litter. Step Three: Figure out who’s been sending her threatening letters, and how her hostile pen pal is tied to Gabriel. Because for this nice girl, surviving a broken heart is becoming a matter of life and undeath...-Goodreads.com

Review:
I can not say enough about how awesome this series is! This is my favorite book yet! The only thing that stopped me from plowing through this novel was work. :P I understand that this is the last book in the series, which is a downright shame. Molly Harper is a fantastic author! I hope she goes on to write another series (or perhaps continue this one??? Hey, I can dream!). If you are looking for a wonderful, romantic(-ish), witty adventure, with plenty of cheek, you should definitely check out this series! I will definitely be re-reading it in the future!

Cover Art Commentary:
I really like all of the covers. They are beautiful, colorful, and fitting to the story that lies in between. The book that Jane is holding on this cover is rather significant in the story, which makes it the perfect cover. :)

Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men by Molly Harper

Summery:
Jane Jameson, once-children's-librarian-turned-vampire has a full plate, so to speak. ;P Her best friend Zeb is getting married to a were. Gabriel is more elusive, yet more charming, than ever. Her job at the occult shop is about to get more interesting. Her playful friend Dick has suddenly developed a serious crush on her only human girlfriend. Not to mention her sister Jenny is suing her for "rights" to Jane's house and all the family heirlooms it contains...annnd her mother is having a wee bit of difficulty adjusting to Jane's new nighttime hours and liquid diet. Just a typical day for our fiercely snarky heroine.

Review:
Can I just start off by saying HOW MUCH I LOVE this series?! I seriously can't get enough of it! The characters are well-developed, they're the kind of people/creatures you want to get to know. One thing I really like about this series is that Jane is closer to her friends than her actual family. This is something that I highly relate to. Jane is a sarcastic, lovable character that you can't help but cheer for. The story plot in this second installment of the series is phenomenal. There is a lot going on, so pay close attention. ;) I read this book in no less than 3 sittings and absolutely cannot wait to dive into the third (and currently last *insert sigh*) book in the series, Nice Girls Don't Live Forever.

Cover Art Commentary:
I absolutely adore this cover. Colorful and playful, with a touch of bite, just like the story itself! ;) It took me a while to realize that the jewelry Jane is wearing on the cover are little bats. :P

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper

Summery:
Jane Jameson is having a really bad day. First, she gets fired from her job as a librarian, given a gift certificate to the local bar in lieu of a severance check, and then is mistaken for a deer, is shot and left for dead. Three days later Jane wakes up as a new member of the undead. Jane is determined to live her former life...until she almost drains her best friend of life and blood. Now Jane must deal with breaking the news to her family, finding a job, dealing with the "undead welcome wagon," a budding romance, oh and yeah...becoming a vampire. Needless to say, Jane's bad day just got a little bit longer.

Review:
Words can not express how much I enjoyed this book. Molly Harper is a fantastic author. This story is heavily infused with humor, which is what makes it so great. Along with a wonderful host of characters and easily relatable narrator, this book is difficult to set down, even after the very first page. I highly recommend it to readers who enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris and The Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine.

Cover Art Commentary:
Love the cover of this book! It's light and playful, just like the story, with a hint of romance in the background. :)
