The little dot that sits on top of the i is called a 'tittle'. I don't know how I went through my entire life without this piece of information but I'm now planning to slip it into conversation somewhere.
Like this book could have been great but it's like the author wrote a perfect sentence and left out her tittles.
It's not that I actually had any expectations for this book. The title is Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs and it has a kind of trashy cover. I was really just impressed that it didn't stum More...

Sometimes I think there is a checklist being passed around among writers of vampiric fiction, a kind of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Vampire Fiction, if you will. If so, this novel ticks off the following standard hallmarks:
--two possible love interests (one noble and one a scrappy rogue) for our female vampire
--creation of a synthetic blood substitute so vampires don't have to kill to get sustenance
--the vampire community "coming out" while other supernatural creatures (werewolves, wit More...

Vampirler insanlar tarafından biliyor. Walmart ta onların ihtiyaçlarına hizmet eden özel bölümler bile var. Gerçekten ilginç ;)
Jane kütüphaneci olduğu işinden kovulduğu gün bir geyik ile karıştırılıp vuruluyor. Ölmek üzereyken seksi bir vampir olan Gabriel geliyor ve ona hayatını değiştirecek bir seçenek sunuyor.

Fing more review like this at The Demon Librarian.
Like music to my ears.
This is a review of the audiobook version, which is narrated by the amazing Amanda Ronconi. The combination of Ronconi's lively, comedic reading and Harper's witty one-liners, make it an enjoyable, grin-inducing read, one I wished would never end.
I'd enjoyed Harper's other series on audiobook, too—her Naked Werewolf series—so I knew I was in for a treat. I've had very little time for "real" reading lately, so audiobooks More...

Narrated by Amanda Ronconi - Narration %5*s

Amanda Ronconi is a new narrator for me, just as Molly Harper is a new author. I was very happy with both and found myself laughing out loud throughout this book.

Not bad! Pretty funny in parts and overall it was pretty enjoyable. I liked the characters even if the plot was lacking a little bit.
Jane was turned into a vampire after gettign shot by a drunk hunter. Right after that I knew I was going to love her. She was a hoot most of the time. Watching her deal with her vampirism and come to terms with it was somewhat inspiring.
Gabriel our hero was a little over protective of his "child" (being Jane) and it was kind of cute. Although we got to see anothe More...

So after the week I had, I needed a book that didn't deal with any real life trauma or other sad situations. This book seemed to do the trick..
Jane is a pretty funny gal, she is pretty sarcastic at times, which I love. Several times during the book I laughed out loud and scared my sleeping puppy. Yes, there are similarities to a lot of other paranormal books written before this was. But really, how original can a vampire book be these days? They all cry blood, who doesn't shop at Wal-Mart, and More...

Oh my god. I think I oughta rate this book, in how many times I have fallen out of my chair thus far. So far 2 times.
1 the movie. Her life flashing before her eyes.
2 the keys was me.
3 the black widow.
4 the only reason bob wants to marry grandmother is he realizes its a form of legal assisted suicide.
5 have you tried not being a vampire.
6 oh yeah... Dick Cheney

I love sarcastic humor, I think that its hilarious and I think it's genius when done right. In my opinion in order for it to be done right, timing is essential. I was hoping to laugh more with this book than I did. Timing wasn't an issue here because Jane was sarcastic all of the time. It was hard for me to take the story seriously when in constant mode of sarcasm/humor. It wasn't what I was expecting which was really my fault. I went in with my own ideas about vamp stories. I wasn't prepared fo More...

One of the first truly funny Vampire books since Katie MacAlister burst on the scene.
I swear I literally busted up at this.....
"This is why I wanted you to feed from me."
"I will not drink in a house, I will not drink it with a mouse. I will not drink it here or there, I will not drink it anywhere." I wheezed , hoping I was able to communicate adequate sarcasm through the crippling belly cramps.
"Did you just quote Green Eggs & Ham?"

A Delightful Read! It is funny and totally vampy with a newly turned she-vamp, (ex- librarian with an addiction for trivia ); a super HOT male vampire who plays the dual role of sire and boyfriend; alongwith bitchy & irritating family members, and a supporting best friend with a were-wolf girlfriend thrown in for good measure .Really what more one can ask for! Probably a vampire council with a teenage leader who scares the hell out of everyone; well you want it you get it. Loved it & am More...

Hilarious!
I clicked with Jane right from the first page. She is a recently fired Librarian, who has book withdrawals if she doesn’t buy a new book every week (sounds familiar) and a funny sarcastic wit. Jane is slightly weird (another reason I connected with her so well), can spout an enormous amount of historical trivia off the top of her head and is also a very recently turned Vampire.

Jane Jamieson is an average girl – she works in the children’s department at the local library, lives in an historical home in her Southern hometown of Half Moon Hollow, and has an overbearing mother who would love to see her get married and settle down. However when she becomes fired from the library, it sets off a chain of events including potato skins, getting rip-roaring drunk, being mistaken for a deer, and waking up undead in the home of her handsome sire, Gabriel Nightengale. As she stumb More...

While books about vampires being outed and ingratiating into human society have been done many times, Molly Harper puts her own spin on things in her Nice Girls series.
In Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs, book one in Jane Jameson's vampire adventures, Jane is just let go from her job as a librarian in her small Southern town. They don't even have the decency to give her a severance check, just a gift certificate to a local bar. Oh and a coupon for free potato wedges.

Some days just aren't worth staying alive for...
Honestly, in the history of bad days Jane Jameson’s takes the cake. First she’s fired from her job and gets herself drunk, than she’s mistaken for a deer and gets shot full of lead, only to wake up as a vampire!! Could things get any worse? Apparently they can, because someone knows she’s been turned into a vampire and ‘good girl’ Jane finds herself being framed for several grisly murders.
But all isn't lost! There are some up sides to being the new More...

Needless to say I am a Molly Harper fan, although apparently I started her world backwards. I found her books through her werewolf series before I read the Jane Jameson; nice girls don’t have fangs. A lovable snarky protagonist and clever concise writing makes this one of the most enjoyable books in the too trendy vampire romance genre. Jane is an unlucky librarian who wakes up as a vampire after going on a drunken bender. She's at a crossroads in her life when she becomes a vampire which makes More...

I waited as long as I could to start this series, don't know why, really.
As I write this I don't know exactly what to think of this book.
It entertained me A LOT, Jane Jameson is defenetly a riot, her inner monologues had me luaghing outloud more than once and I just loved the stories of new vampires adjusting to their new un-lives the most. The difficult mother-daughter relationships are getting old for me right now, though.

Silly and over-the-top, Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs doesn't take itself too seriously--which is good, because if you're not already a fan of vampire comedy, there's not much here for you.
Jane Jameson is a children's librarian who loves her job. (And can I say: as a former library page and book-lover, Molly Harper nails the description of the children's section--I just wish I'd gotten to read more description of Jane at work.)

I picked this book up at the library, as it sounded like a fun read, and I wasn't disappointed.
Written in first person, the story revolves around Jane Jameson, a just-fired librarian who, after a justified drinking binge, finds herself turned into a vampire.
Like in the Sookie Stackhouse world, vampires have become known to the world after the great 'Coming Out' of 2000. The parallels to gay/lesbian coming out are on purpose, (have you tried not being a vampire, one person asks) but not overdone More...

I picked this book out more or less at random as something light to listen to. I've been having difficulty reading actual text and I've turned to audiobooks to "read" more. I am particularly glad I picked this one.
Jane is a librarian who suddenly discovers herself to be unemployed, gets drunk at a bar, gets shot (mistaken for a deer), and has the choice of being dead, or undead. A few days later she wakes up a vampire. She has a best friend who is almost as dotty as she is, and an overbearing mo More...

Review Courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales
Quick & Dirty: Quirky, sarcastic, almost normal—the vampire next door.
Opening Sentence: I’ve always been a glass-half-full kind of girl.
The Review:
Meet Jane Jameson, normal everyday small town girl. Jane is a children’s librarian in the public library in the town of Half-Moon Hollow, Kentucky where she was born and raised. Jane is super smart and quirky, but sarcasm and useless trivia are her strongest points. Jane is so universal she fits right in, like s More...

Even though I really enjoyed reading it, I could only bring myself to give Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs 3/5 stars because while the story was laugh out loud funny it seemed to lack much originality or depth. Jane basically gets turned into a vampire after a freak hunting accident and we follow her as she tries to deal with her "undead life".
Jane was okay but she just wasn't "emotional" enough for me? I can't think of a better word for what I am trying to say right now but like I would still be f More...

After reading Reed's the Cruelest Cut, I really needed something light, funny and easy to read, and this book definitely fits all of those categories.
Jane Jameson, self proclaimed nice girl, has always had the glass is half full type of attitude, she may not have the perfect life, job, and family, but she was always able to see the better half of things, until she is fired from her job at the library (in order for someone who has a history of setting fires in a work place, to take her job).

"What did you do to me?" I whispered, shaking away the memory and wiping my mouth.
"You know what I am. You know what you are," he said quietly, as if we were talking about being Episcopalian. "I offered you a choice, and you took it."
I shot him what I hoped was a truly scathing glance. "Some choice. I was dying. Some drunk shot me from a pickup. Why couldn't I have just woken up with gonorrhea like every other girl of loose moral fiber?"

Vampires meeting at the Cracker Barrel? Dr. Seuss quotes? This was definitely my kind of read. Let me preface this by saying that the Sookie Stackhouse novels are what turned me on to Urban Fantasy as a genre. I loved the world-building, the characters and the great take on vampires being outed to the human world. Molly Harper’s Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs shares some similarities to the Stackhouse novels – a setting in a small, southern town, vampires living openly among humans on synthetic blo More...

I fell in love with Molly Harper when I read How to Flirt with a Naked Warewolf, and cemented her into my "Must Read" list with The Art of Seducing a Naked Warewolf. The first book of the Jane Jameson series definitely did NOT disappoint.
This hilarious story starts out when Jane Jameson has the worst day imaginable - she's "let go" from a job she loves, without any compensation. Then? She meets a mysterious man at a bar, only to be killed in a bizarre hunting accident on her way home. And that's More...

I thought this was an okay book but I was a little disappointed. I do enjoy a good humorous and sarcastic book but this one just didn't cut it for me. I thought the main character, Jane, was more annoying than endearing. Yes, she was a smart nerd so she felt socially inept but I felt she was too insecure for her background. I just never really connected with Jane. I wanted her to grow up, to act a little more mature, a little more her age and I just didn't find myself getting caught up in her li More...
