Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men by Molly Harper

Goodreads Description:

Once a devoted children's librarian, Jane Jameson now works at a rundown occult bookstore. Once a regular gal, she's now a vampire. And instead of a bride, she's an eternal bridesmaid — which leads her to question where exactly her relationship with her irresistibly sexy sire, Gabriel, is headed. Mercurial, enigmatic, apparently commitment-phobic vampires are nothing if not hard to read. While Jane is trying to master undead dating, she is also donning the ugliest bridesmaid's dress in history at her best friend Zeb's Titanic-themed wedding. Between a freaked-out groom-to-be, his hostile werewolf in-laws, and Zeb's mother, hell-bent on seeing Jane walk the aisle with Zeb, Jane's got the feeling she's just rearranging the proverbial deck chairs.

Meanwhile, Half Moon Hollow's own Black Widow, Jane's Grandma Ruthie, has met her match in her latest fiancé. He smells like bad cheese and has a suspicious history of dead spouses. But Jane's biting her tongue. After all, would a nice girl really think she has a future with a vampire?

My Review:

(Written while reading it)


I'm having a hard time getting into this book.  I keep picking it up reading at max 2 chapters then putting it down.  It's very slow to get into, I'm on Chapter 5 and so far there isn't any plot except the day to day living of the main character and her friends.  You know all about her family issues and her two friends on/off again engagement but so what...where's the action....I don't know if I should chug on through it or just put it down.  I hate not finishing a book though...I always wonder if it got better after the point I stopped and if I'm missing something.

Ok I've finished it.  It didn't start to get a 'plot' till after the 150th page.  Even then it wasn't really a good one.  It was predictable and annoyingly over worded.  SO much description and not enough plot is how I'd sum it up.  Jane and Gabriel get nowhere in their relationship.  Jane suffers some deaths of loved ones and fixes all her friends problems.  I do plan on reading the 3rd to see if it gets better but if it doesn't I'm abandoning the series.
