About this listen
Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollow's only daytime vampire concierge, knows more about the undead than she'd like. Running all their daylight errands - from letting in the plumber to picking up some chilled O neg - gives her a look at the not-so-glamorous side of vampire life. Her rules are strict; relationships with vamps are strictly business, not friendship - and certainly not anything else. But then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and only Iris can help.
Cal - who would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris allowed herself to think that way - offers Iris a hefty fee for hiding him at her place until he figures out who wants him permanently dead. Even though he's imperious, unfriendly, and doesn't seem to understand the difference between "employee" and "servant", Iris agrees, and finds herself breaking more and more of her own rules to help him - particularly those concerning nudity. Turns out what her quiet little life needed was some intrigue and romance - in the form of her very own stray vampire.

When Nina Linden is hired to landscape a private island off the New England coast, she sees it as her chance to rebuild her failing business after being cheated by her unscrupulous ex. She never expects that her new client, software mogul Deacon Whitney, would see more in her than just a talented gardener. Deacon has paid top dollar to the crews he’s hired to renovate the desolate Whitney estate - he had to, because the bumps, thumps, and unexplained sightings of ghostly figures in 19th-century dress are driving workers away faster than he can say “Boo.”

If 14-year-old Cassandra Reed makes it through her first day at Miss Castwell’s Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladies without anyone discovering her secret, maybe, just maybe, she’ll let herself believe that she really does belong at Miss Castwell’s. Except Cassandra Reed’s real name is Sarah Smith and up until now, she lived her whole life in the Warren, serving a magical family, the Winters, as all non-magical “Snipes” are bound by magical Guardian law to do. That is, until one day, Sarah accidentally levitates Mrs. Winter’s favorite vase in the parlor....

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Charley sees dead people. That's right, she sees dead people. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e., murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.

Not Molly Harper's Best

By: Molly Harper
Molly Harper and Amanda, a fanatstic duo
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The main plot is pretty straight forward, which is one of the many reasons why I love Molly's books so much. The story is detailed enough to keep readers entertained but still simple enough to allow other literary elements to shine through, such as her phenomenal characters and top notch wit. Several peeps from her Nice Girls series make cameo appearances which I'm sure only adds to the overall experience for long time fans. For my part, I have no clue who these characters are but can't wait to make their acquaintance when I tackle her Jane Jameson books.
When I first started listening to this audiobook I was mildly confused on a few things that I feel are worth bringing up. The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires is the first full length installment in the Half Moon Hollow series. Driving Mr. Dead is a novella, which explains why it's only 160 pages and why the main characters are different. I struggled with Miranda vs. Iris' points of view. Plus, the fact that these two heroines have similar personalities and are read by the same narrator made it all the more confusing. Once I had all of my ducks in a row the story made a lot more sense. Unfortunately, I didn't realize my mistake until the end. That'll teach me to rely on GoodReads' accuracy!
I really enjoyed Amanda Ronconi's narration; she's perfectly suited for the voice of Iris. You can hear the smile in her tone as she reads the story and she delivers Harper's jokes with ease. The combination of Ronconi's narration and Molly's writing transforms this audio book into pure bliss.
It's nice to take a walk on the lighter side of Paranormal fiction from time to time. Molly Harper is a seasoned pro at writing chick lit with fangs. The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires is full of silly characters, slapstick humour and sex. What's not to love? I challenge you to read this book without cracking a smile!

“The first rule of caring for a stray vampire: Don’t tell anyone you’re taking care of a stray vampire. —The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires”
Iris Scanlon is Half-Moon Hollow's only daytime vampire concierge. She runs all the daytime errands for her clients and knows more about them than she wants. When she finds her newest client poisoned and passed out on his kitchen floor her life quickly changes.
This was another wonderful paranormal story from Molly Harper. Iris was introduced in the Jane Jameson series when she helped to plan Jane’s wedding. I loved that the new Half-Moon Hollow series started with her story. Iris was a wonderful heroine. She was compassionate, smart, and sassy when she needed to be. I loved her extensive knowledge of herbs and flowers, and wished I could steal it for myself. Her relationship with her sister was wonderful and powerful. I loved how she was parental but still stayed in the older sister role.
Cal was interesting. He was an ancient vampire who has never been weak before so as you can imagine he was a little grumpy. I enjoyed his experiences with feeling somewhat human, especially his tummy ache scene. While Cal did make a few mistakes in his relationship with Iris, I still really liked him and think he was a good partner for Iris. I loved how he adopted Gigi so quickly and played the role of protective father with her. It was quite adorable.
Cal and Iris’s relationship was filled with lots of intense looks, steamy sex, and quite a few brushes with danger. I really enjoyed the mystery that Cal was working on and how they worked together in a way to solve it. Overall, this was a wonderful vampire romance, and a wonderful start to a new series set in Half-Moon Hollow. I can’t wait to read the next book.
A wonderful start to a series

Would you consider the audio edition of The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires to be better than the print version?
I didn't read the print, but the narration was so good, I doubt I could create better voices in my mind.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires?
The unveiling of the bad guyWhat about Amanda Ronconi’s performance did you like?
She created individual personas without making any of them sound alike. There was only one character I didn't care for the voice of (mr. Dodd's voice was very breathy/nasally and blech). I especially loved Cal's very slight accent -- one that I don't think I could have placed on my own.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I chuckled and grinned to myself a LOT. The characters are hilarious and spunky.Any additional comments?
I grabbed this on sale as an editor's suggestion, and I'm so glad I did. I love paranormal romance, but tend to stray away from vampires because they're usually very repetitive. With Molly Harper's book, the vampires aren't some time-trapped stuffy neck suckers, and the humans aren't cowering little victims. They're all witty, hilarious, and all-around like able to listen to/read. The sex scenes aren't overly trashy or drawn out, but enough that they added to the story.I won't spoil the end, but I definitely never saw the antagonists that played out, which is unusual for me! I also liked how, again, the conclusion to the romance wasn't predictable. I'm definitely going to be buying ALL of Miss Harper's books available on audible (probably within the month).
Just listen to it!
