Molly Harper: The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires (Half-Moon Hollow 1.)
“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?
Ismeritek vonzódásomat a vámpírok-vérfarkasok-egyebek iránt. Ez a könyv kilóg a sorból, mert nem veszi túl komolyan magát, vicces, könnyed és szórakoztató, romantikus egy csipet izgalommal vegyítve. Néha kell az ilyen is.
Molly Harper: A Witch's Hanbook of Kisses and Curses (Half-Moon Hollow 2.)
"Nola Leary would have been content to stay in Kilcairy, Ireland, healing villagers at her family’s clinic with a mix of magic and modern medicine. But a series of ill-timed omens and a deathbed promise to her grandmother have sent her on a quest to Half-Moon Hollow, Kentucky, to secure her family’s magical potency for the next generation. Her supernatural task? To unearth four artifacts hidden by her grandfather before a rival magical family beats her to it. Complication One: Her grandfather was Mr. Wainwright and the artifacts are lost somewhere in what is now Jane Jameson’s book shop. Complication Two: her new neighbor, Jed Trudeau, who keeps turning up half naked at the strangest times, a distraction Nola doesn’t need. And teaming up with a real-life Adonis is as dangerous as it sounds, especially when he’s got the face of an angel and the abs of a washboard—can Nola complete her mission before falling completely under his spell?"
Megérkeztek a többi számomra kedves természetfeletti lény mellé a boszorkányok is. Legnagyobb bajom ezzel a résszel az volt, hogy olyan kiszámítható, én meg szeretem a meglepetéseket. Tudtam, hogy Nola anyja nem lehet halott; már mikor először megemlítették a könyvben gondoltam, hogy a harang az ajtó fölött az a bizonyos harang lesz; Stephen pedig átlátszó volt, mint a frissen tisztított ablaküveg. Még egy részt megnézek, ha az sem lesz izgalmasabb, új vizekre evezek.
Köszönet a készitőknek.
Imádtam, nehezen tettem le akár csak pár percre is.
