Nice Girls Don't Live Forever

by Molly Harper

Pocket Star | December 29, 2009 | Mass Market Paperbound

UNEXPECTED UNDEAD
BREAK-UP

Nothing sucks the romance out of world travel like a boyfriend who may or may not have broken up with you in a hotel room in Brussels. Jane Jameson''s sexy sire Gabriel has always been unpredictable, but the seductive, anonymous notes that await him at each stop of their international vacation, coupled with his evasive behavior over the past few months, finally push Jane onto the next flight home to Half Moon Hollow -- alone, upset, and unsure whether Gabriel just ended their relationship without actually telling her.

Now the children''s-librarian-turned-vampire is reviving with plenty of Faux Type O, some TLC from her colorful friends and family, and her plans for a Brave New Jane. Step One: Get her newly renovated occult bookstore off the ground. Step Two: Support her best friend, Zeb, and his werewolf bride as they prepare for the impending birth of their baby...or litter. Step Three: Figure out who''s been sending her threatening letters, and how her hostile pen pal is tied to Gabriel. Because for this nice girl, surviving a broken heart is suddenly becoming a matter of life and undeath....

Jane is supposed to be travelling around the world with her boyfriend Gabriel having the time of their lives. Gabriel starts acting all weird. Having them change hotels frequently, leaving her by herself when they go out, phone calls that he takes to the other room and mysterious letters. Jane finally has enough and goes home. Gabriel does nothing to stop her and says it's for the best. Does his mean that he broke up with her?

A broken hearted Jane returns home and puts her efforts into getting over Gabriel with the opening of her new bookstore and joining the local chamber of commerce. Zeb and Jolene are also expecting twins.

Things seem to be starting to pick up when Jane has a create store re-opening when Gabriel returns to her life. Jane tells him to either explain himself or get out of her life. Gabriel walks chooses to walk away.

Jane starts getting letters from the Jeanine, the same Jeanine that was sending Gabriel the letters in Europe. Jeanine says that Gabriel also sired her and that everything that he says is a lie. After a short lived reunion between Gabriel and Jane. Gabriel finds out that Jeanine is now contacting Jane, and once again walks away. Jane is now at her whit's end. Her heart wants Gabriel, and her head wants a "normal" healthy and mature relationship.

After Jane is attacked Gabriel finally explains that Jeanine is not quite right, no kidding. She is a vampire hypochondriac. Jeanine has been following Gabriel around for year's trying to get him to "complete" the change, that she is only half a vampire. Jeanine's problem is all in her head, but the danger she poses to Jane and all those around Jane is not. One of Jane's closest friends does not survive Jeanine.

Book three is just as laugh out loud funny as the first three. I found that when I finished this book I finally got a sense of the storey came together. It was not until I finished this one that I realised that the books were really like one storey separated into three sections. You really should read all three books to get the full storey arc.
