In Molly Harper’s witty new paranormal romance, a rare-book expert is delivering a package to Half Moon Hollow when her plane goes down, and a sexy vampire comes to her rescue. He’s clearly got ulterior motives, but does he want to date her…or devour her? Delivering a rare book to a valued customer is definitely part of mild-mannered archivist Anna Whitfield’s job description. You know what … know what isn’t? Protecting her precious cargo from mid-flight theft by the very pilot who is flying her to Half-Moon Hollow…while trying to appear as unappetizing as possible to the only other passenger, a vampire. Undead bookstore owner Jane Jameson could be waiting a very long time for her book. Possibly forever.
Fortunately, Anna’s dashing fanged companion Finn Palmeroy helps her fend off the attack, but not before their plane crash lands in the forest hundreds of miles from civilization. Great, now she’s stranded with a priceless tome and a rakish vampire whose bedtime is fast approaching. Why does everyone want this book so badly, anyway? Anna just wants to get it to Jane before Finn decides to turn her into dinner–or sweep her off her feet. Okay, the second option is really tempting. But they’re not out of the woods yet…more
Just started Molly Harper “Where the Wild Things Bite” this is the next installment in the Jane Jameson spin off series Half Moon Hollow. I just love these books and this on is starting out to be just as funny and interesting as the others in the series. I recommend starting with the 1st Jane Jamison book “Nice Girls Don’t have Fangs” so you will get to know and love all the kooky characters.
3 stars – I liked it
Before you find yourself stranded in the woods with a cranky apex predator, ask yourself: Do I really want to go on a camping trip with a vampire? The answer is probably going to be no. – Where the Wild Things Bite: A Survival Guide for Camping with the
Undead
Anna Winthrop is tasked with delivering a rare book back to its owner Jane in Half-Moon Hollow. What she doesn’t expect is someone trying to steal it or for her plane to crash. Which is how she finds herself stuck with Finn Palmeroy in the middle of the wilderness.
This was an interesting and action packed adventure. Anna started out being a high strung, anxiety ridden woman whose brain is always thinking of the worst case scenarios but by the end she is a strong woman who isn’t trapped by her anxiety. While I initially found her a little annoying, Anna grew on me as she lost her worries. As an archivist, I loved her dedication to history and rare books.
Finn was introduced in the previous story as Libby’s sire. He is a shady character like Dick was, but not as likable in my opinion. Finn was a character that I have mixed feelings about. He was sweet to Anna at times but he did also hurt her. He does redeem himself in the end of this book but it is still hard for me to envision these two with a HEA. Hopefully, they will appear in future books and change my mind.
Overall, this was still an enjoyable lost in the woods paranormal romance. I really love seeing Jane and Dick as part of the Vampire Council, especially since they react so differently from previous council members.
Trigger Warnings: Anxiety and agoraphobia. Anna’s mother also had extreme anxiety and agoraphobia about what would happen and was extremely controlling of her life.
Finn is quite the charmer, “Finn held up a hand, closing his eyes. “I’m just picturing the bathing cycle. I need a minute for my blood to go back to the right places.” I really loved it when Finn got jealous and sensitive, “I tell you that you’re gorgeous, and you don’t believe me. He calls you a hot piece of ***, and you turn into a blushing schoolgirl,” Finn muttered.” I enjoyed this book, I loved Finn.
