Another feisty heroine, weirdness in new vampires. Thoroughly enjoyable. ( )

After finally finishing the audiobook versions of the Game of Thrones series, and trying to stave off quarantine depression and anxiety, I felt it was high time to fall back onto one of my favorite series on audiobook, the Half-Moon Hollow series by Molly Harper narrated by Amanda Ronconi. Long-time readers will know how much I love this author/narrator duo, and the chance to catch up on the stories I missed over the years was a welcome respite.

Where the Wild Things Bite follows Anna Whitfield as she attempts to deliver a rare and priceless artifact to Jane Jameson in Half-Moon Hollow, only to be attacked on the plane, which subsequently crashes into a remote part of Western Kentucky. Her lone companion happens to be the highly suspicious but gorgeous Finn Palmeroy, who just happens to be a vampire. The story follows a familiar Molly Harper format with hijinks, serious confessions, a little bit of romance, some unexpected twists, and danger. It is also one of the few books in the series that does not include Jane adding to her already large collection of friends. It is about as close to a stand-alone novel as one can get from the thirteenth book in the series.

We shift back to the Jameson clan in book fifteen, Accidental Sire, which explores the unusual transformation of Megan with Jane as her foster mother. It is refreshing to get back to the basics, if you will, and see Jane in her element of caring for her family in that mother bear way she has. Plus, it has been a long time since we have had the chance to step into a new-born vampire's mindset. Shenanigans ensue.

The most recent book in the series is Peace, Blood, and Understanding. This time, we meet Meadow, a rather hippy-ish vampire with a shady past who has firmly entrenched herself into Jane's clan. We also meet Erik Weston, a NY vampire sent by the Council to audit Jane's performance as Council representative for Western Kentucky. A stuck-up NY snob and a hippy Kentuckian? The story practically writes itself. In fact, for that reason, I found this to be one of the weaker stories in the series. For one, the romantic development between the two was practically nonexistent until boom, there it is. Plus, there really were no twists this time. It was too predictable with a romance that was a bit of a dud.

Still, Ms. Harper's books never fail to pull me out of a slump. I listened to each of these over the course of five evenings, enjoying the familiarity of the characters, Ms. Ronconi's delightful narration, and the comfort of knowing exactly what I was going to get. ( )

Accidental Sire by Molly Harper is the latest delightful installment in A Half-Moon Hollow series. Meghan Keene is an undergrad at the University of Kentucky. She is enjoying a mixer (human/vampire) party hosted by Ophelia Lambert (as a punishment) and meets Ben Overby. They enjoy a lovely evening, kiss goodnight and then Meghan is hit with a 45lb. dumbbell on her way back inside her dorm (vampires were playing Ultimate Frisbee). Thankfully, Meghan signed the consent form to be turned in case of emergency. A volunteer sire is quickly obtained and Meghan is turned. When Meghan wakes up, Ben is in her room (you just know this is not going to end well). A thirsty Meghan takes a little “sip” (he gave permission) and then Ben collapses. Jane Jameson-Nightengale is summoned, and she whisks the pair away to Half-Moon Hollow. Open Accidental Sire for another fun adventure with Jane, Gabriel, Ophelia, Dick, Georgie and friends.

Accidental Sire is an amusing and engaging novel. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning (and I did not pop out until I finished the last word). I did not want Accidental Sire to conclude. I giggled, chuckled, and outright laughed while reading this paranormal mystery novel (there are some great one-liners and plenty of snark). Accidental Sire is well-written, easy to read, and has a fast pace. I appreciated that Ms. Harper has given us a new vampire with unique traits (spoilers). If you have not had the pleasure of reading A Half-Moon Hollow Novel previously, I do not suggest you start with Accidental Sire. I can guarantee you will be lost. While Accidental Sire focuses on Ben’s story, characters from the previous novels are present (actually, all of them including creepy Georgie). Their lives and stories have been told in the previous books in the series (which are equally delightful). I am rating Accidental Sire 5 out of 5 stars (I loved it). I especially liked that readers have had the opportunity to see these original characters grow and develop over the course of the series (fourteen books approximately). The biggest change has happened to Jane. It is amazing to see how far Jane has come since Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs. At the beginning of reach chapter are tips on how to raise an “unplanned vampire” (humorous). Accidental Sire has romance, suspense, a unicorn room, mystery, vampires, werewolves, humor, and so much more. I wish there were more books like this one. ( )
