“The thing to remember about a ‘stray’ vampire is that there is probably a good reason he is friendless, alone, and wounded. Approach with caution.” Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollow’s only daytime vampire concierge, 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 … not-so-glamorous side of vamps. 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 quiet 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 even though 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?more

This tongue in cheek book kept me snickering and with a constant smile. I stumbled upon this novel and have now considered adding more to my TBR.
Ms. Harper has a wildly sarcastic sense of humor that is very inline with my own.
I had a blast following Iris and Cal through the unique adventure. I loved the chapter heading tips and feel like …
This book wasn’t as funny as Molly’s werewolf series, but it was still entertaining. Cal he has all these great comebacks, “so I went from shark to dog in a matter of hours? That’s a considerable demotion. Do you always apply animal-behavior techniques to interactions with clients?” Iris amused me greatly, “Oh, my gosh!” I cried, putting my hand …
This was my first Molly Harper read. The title caught my attention, and the first few pages got me to shell out my dough at my local Giant Eagle. Between Iris’ job as a daytime vampire concierge, her finding her new client bloodied and helpless on his kitchen floor… and that weird Colonel Sanders doppelganger–this book had it all. I must …
