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.

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.

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

Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs is the tale of a librarian who is turned vampire after she is shot by a drunk hunter who thought she was a deer. And I don’t mean “hunter” as in the usual dark heroic hunter of evil that normally occurs in vampire books, I mean hunter as in… well I’m picturing a drunk Elmer Fudd. The first book of this series deals with Jane’s being turned and how she adapts to her new lifestyle including how to tell her parents.

Jane Jameson is probably one of the funniest protagonists I have ever read.
Jane has just been fired from her beloved library, so she does what any despairing bookworm would do – she goes out, gets completely hammered and strikes up a conversation with the guy next to her.
If becoming a vampire isn’t enough within her first few weeks Jane is accused of murdering another vampire by setting him on fire which lands her in deep trouble with the vampire council.

3.5 stars. This book gets full points for snarkiness and intolerable, overbearing mothers. Also, I don't think I've ever seen a protagonist take becoming undead so well. She's more put out over losing her job than losing her heart beat.
Humor is where this book shines. Jane never says what you expect her to, which makes her interactions fun. It's in the plot and pacing that the book gets a little more tarnished, while the love interest is a complete misfire. No chemistry. You don't w More...

Harper's Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs is an entertaining debut brimming w/ humor to the point of overflowing. This is topnotch hilarity!

This looked like a fun read and I was in the mood for something funny. This book met all my expectations it is a very funny, light, and clever read. Incredibly entertaining. It is the first book in the Jane Jameson trilogy. I listened to this on audio book; the audio book was very well done and probably contributed to me liking the book so much.

NICE GIRLS DON'T HAVE FANGS was a witty, engaging story with interesting characters. I enjoyed reading NICE GIRLS DON'T HAVE FANGS, and laughed out loud several times. It really is funny. If you're looking for a light, fun paranormal read, NICE GIRLS DON'T HAVE FANGS is it. However, having stated that, NICE GIRLS DON'T HAVE FANGS is a perfect example of why I don't read a lot of paranormal romance anymore.

As a former Children's Librarian (now Teen Librarian) I could not resist this book. Jane Jameson is the Children's Librarian in her hometown of Half Moon Hollow (and yes, it's as small and redneck as it sounds). The library director, a mean and spiteful woman, seizes upon budget cuts as a way to get rid of Jane and fires her. As severance, Jane is given a $25 gift certificate to Shenanigan's and a coupon for their free potato skins appetizer. Jane proceeds to Shenanigan's and spends her severanc

My thoughts...Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs is a very funny, sexy, story that fans of Vampire literature will enjoy. Poor Jane Jameson, after being fired from her job, she is mistaken for a deer, then turned into a Vampire, all in one foggy evening. The book starts with a humorous situation and the humor is carried through the entire story. Jane is as witty as she is like-able. Anyone who has ever said that librarians are dull needs to read this book! We also meet Gabrial, her sweet, sexy sir

The very top of the first page of the first chapter I found a quote I wanted to use. I figured 'Haven't done it before, but hell why not? This deserves it!' and marked (with a post-it tab) it and moved on to read more. Within ten pages I found another two quotes. Before I hit chapter 5 I had more neon post-it tabs sticking out of my book then a Las Vegas casino sign has lights. That's when I gave up keeping track and just kept reading. Jane is hilarious.

If you prefer your vampires with loads of humor and chicklit style, then "Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs" by Molly Harper should be right up your alley. The author is a former humor columnist and is shows in the snark and hilarity that's part and parcel of this book.
Jane Jameson is almost as dull as her name. She's a book-loving librarian who lives just a few miles from her parents and whose dating life could be its own humor series. But nothing can compare to being fired, More...

A so called nice girl gets turned to a vampire by a stranger she just met. He is kind of in to her and thinks she is unique and funny. The book is about Jane coming to grips with her new vampire status and also dealing with her first real love interest. Someone is also trying to attack her. this book had a lot of potential and having enjoyed my last comedy paranormal romance I was very excited. It was just ok, because the plot was very choppy and not a lot of romantic tension or even heat.

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs was humorous and clever, but not laugh-out-load funny. It is more "light urban fantasy with a romantic element" than a paranormal romance. In fact, there was a chick-lit feel to the book. I enjoyed the heroine and her detached, snarky way of looking at life for the first half of the book, but as the book went on her cynicism was sort of a downer. Jane didn't really have much of a life or much ambition, besides wanting to organize books. However, her relation

I liked the premise of the first book a lot. A small town librarian getting shot accidentally and turning into the vampire and then getting mixed up with murder and mayhem. I think the Jane Jamison books are essentially cozy mystery with a vampire twist.

This author apparently writes like I talk. Or, like I've been told I talk. (Complete with "-ish," "woo and hoo," "um, yay?" and others.)

Considering I'd plucked the book off the library shelves on a lark based on the title, I'm quite pleased with the results, and will

I came across Molly Harper's 'Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs' when Melissa Marr mentioned her in a tweet. I figured who better to take a suggestion from than the author of the Wicked Lovely series? Jane, the main character of Harper's novel is...crass, ballsy, slightly neurotic and extremely witty, almost to a fault. I loved reading the first half of this book...but by page 91, I was thinking that there has to be more to the story than Jane and her strange sense of humor. I was kind of tempted to p
