Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men by Molly HarperMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I haven't read the first book of this series, but I found that I didn't need to in order to be able to enjoy this one. Jane Jameson ex-librarian, current vampire, is a refreshing change from other urban fantasy vampires. Optimistic, snarky but not too snarky, still trying to get used to her new state of undead without delving too much into the realm of morose wistful sighs. The setting of small-ish town in the south where everyone is just slightly related and always ready for some kind of family fight/gossip is a great change too.
The romance element isn't that strong in this book, I'm guessing that most of the heavy emotional lifting for Jane was in the first book, and looks to be set-up for the third book. As such, it's a fast, amusing read. You will quickly figure out most of the plot points before they happen, but there's enough humor that I didn't mind sitting back and waiting for them to show up.
