Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. When children's librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed twenty-five dollars in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that's sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she's mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead. And thanks to the mysterious stranger she met while chugging neon-colored cocktails, she wakes up with a decidedly unladylike thirst for blood.
Jane is now the latest recipient of a gift basket from the Newly Undead Welcoming Committee, and her life-after-lifestyle is taking some getting used to. Her recently deceased favorite aunt is now her ghostly roommate. She has to fake breathing and endure daytime hours to avoid coming out of the coffin to her family. She's forced to forgo her favorite down-home Southern cooking for bags of O negative. Her relationship with her sexy, mercurial vampire sire keeps running hot and cold. And if all that wasn't enough, it looks like someone in Half Moon Hollow is trying to frame her for a series of vampire murders. What's a nice undead girl to do?

*SPOILER FREE
The Series in ONE Sentence: Fun and Hilarious from beginning to end!
I love a nice funny book, specially one with paranormal elements and Molly Harper’s Jena Jameson series definitely gives us that and more. The Jane Jameson series is one of my favorite series ever and finding out that there will be a fourth book made my year!
Jane Jameson’s story is reminiscent of Mary Janice Davidson’s Queen Betsy, where a comedic series of errors results in a Jane turned into a vampire and trying to deal with her new situation. Add her HOT sire, Gabriel, her best friend and the ghost of her grandmother and you have a laugh out loud series that you will not want to put down.
Molly Harper’s genius is in the characters, she has build them and their relationships so well that you can’t help but give yourself over to Jane’s small town world. Let’s not forget the wit, this series has “Gilmore Girls-style” fast and witty talk that had me laughing my a** off in almost every single page.I felt for Jane’s plea and I wanted to bash her head against the wall innumerous times. She is hardheaded, paranoid and flat out annoying most of the time, but she is also fun, hilarious, loyal and extremely lovable.
Let’s not forget the secondary characters. Jane is great, but without her friends, family and her new paranormal acquaintances where would her funny quips bounce off of and who would they all make fun of?
If you are a fan of the Queen Betsy series, you absolutely have to read this one, and dare I even to say that I prefer this series over Betsy’s? There is something so fresh and comforting about reading this series, that I can’t recommend it enough!
Next in The Jane Jameson/Nice Girls Series:
According to Molly’s website, there will be a book 4!
Here’s hoping! =D
