The Care And Feeding Of Stray Vampires

The Care And Feeding Of Stray Vampires by Molly Harper, 356 pages

’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 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?” I like Harper’s books and this one was typically amusing.  It could have used a little better editing.  At least three times I went back and reread a section because something didn’t make sense.  Rereading didn’t help, either; there were issues with the text.  These problems aside, I still enjoyed it and would recommend it to fans of supernatural humorous romance.
