BOOK REVIEW: The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires by Molly Harper
Bookshelves in bookstores (and my own library alike) are chock-full of vampire rom-coms and plain lusty vampire romances too. But what happens when you put a girl who does vampire services and a half-poisoned vampire who looks like a Greek god on a kitchen floor? Poof! You get fireworks dearies and plenty of chance (or should I say set-up encounters) with the clothes off?
Iris Scanlon is Half Moon Hollow's only daytime vampire concierge and she knows more about the undead than she'd like. Running their daylight errands - from letting in the plumber to picking up some chilled Faux Type O - gives her a look at the not-so-glamorous side of the blood-suckers.
Her rules are strict; relationships are purely business, not friendship - and certainly not anything more. Then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and her simple life turns upside down.
Cal - who would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris thought vampires were sexy - offers Iris a hefty fee for hiding him at her place. And eventhough he's imperious, unfriendly, and doesn't seem to understand the difference between "employee" and "servant", she agrees.
But as they search for who wants him permanently dead, Iris is breaking more and more of her own rules...particularly those about nudity. Could it be that what she really needs is some intrigue and romance - and her very own stray vampire?
This book is definitely the one for those who love their dose of vampirism, hunky ones at that, as well as some good action scenes where the light always wins over evil. Humorically written and touching at some points, it's highly readable content is to hunt for.
