I really loved some of molly Harper’s other novels but I found this one a bit too scatterbrained to follow. I know that’s part of janes character but I felt I couldn’t connect to her emotions and relationships with the other characters

Predictable, but fun. All of the library references made my heart happy.

I shouldn't have read this book right after a Sookie Stackhouse as they both have plucky Southern heroines who are mysteriously amazingly attractive to vampires. This was a pretty fun, light read and I liked that Jane was a librarian and had an awesome dog. There are also some good oneliners, and I'll probably pick up some of the others in this series. This one also dealt interestingly with how a person transitions from living to undead.

Molly Harper, is fast becoming my new favorite author. I love the humor, the banter, the snarky remarks, and a good-looking paranormal boys. Jane is content living a quiet life in her childhood town as the local children's librarian, until one day she is fired, get shot, and turned into a vampire. You could see this as a bad day, but now in walks Gabriel the hot vampire soon to become the leading man in Jane's life. I loved all the characters in this book even the bad guy. Can't wait to read the next book in the series, and all the other books and all of her series!

Great series.  Loved the humor, and the characters.  I think I liked Naked Werewolf just a tiny bit more than this, or Half Moon Hollow.

So I loved this book but I did spend quite a bit of time being seriously frustrated by Jane’s unfortunate circumstances which felt a bit too overblown at times – which is why I cannot give this book at 5 star rating.

I feel like if I met Jane we would be good friends, though her impulsiveness and insecurities would drive me nuts, but she would have me laughing constantly. Of course given her passive aggressive and just aggressive family members make this understandable. I feel grateful to never have experienced that level of interference in my life. Luckily, Jane doesn’t really agonize over it, or much, she just rolls with the punches, laughs about it and moves on.

Luckily there are some great people Jane know and meets and those characters really helped me read this book without throwing it against the wall (well, my phone against the wall). Zeb is a great friend who attends meeting for friends of the newly turned and meets Jolene, a loving, exuberant werewolf. Jane’s ghost aunt Jettie, Andrea her new vampire blood friend, and Dick Cheney (no not that one!) – her new lascivious vampire friend.

I was not a big fan of Gabriel, Jane’s sire, who seemed to be intense when he was there are just absent when he wasn’t. I am glad he was following her home, though, and turned her into a funny vampire.

I guessed the mystery of who was causing trouble for Jane early – and that whole plot was totally hilarious. I loved it!

The audio was great, I really enjoy Amanda Ronconi's narrations.

Small-town librarian Jane gets fired, shot, and turned into a vampire in one bad day, which turns into a bad few months as someone tries to make her unlife miserable.

Kinda cute, fairly predictable, but it would make a decent beach read for people who like vampires.

Le premier chapitre m'a suffit pour réaliser que ce livre n'est pas pour moi. J'ai roulé des yeux bien trop souvent. Mais je n'ai pas non plus de reproches particuliers sur ce début et je pense que vu le style d'écriture, c'est une aventure qui offrira un bon moment aux lectrices et lecteurs appréciant ce genre d'histoire.

What a fun first completed book of the new year. I opted for the Audible version and loved how I was pulled so completely I was pulled into the story.

Jane is the wittiest of unintentional vampires.

Whole heartedly recommend!
