Nothing sucks the romance out of world travel like a boyfriend who may or may not have broken up with you in a hotel room in Brussels. Jane Jameson’s sexy sire Gabriel has always been unpredictable, but the seductive, anonymous notes that await him at each stop of their international vacation, coupled with his evasive behavior over the past few months, finally push Jane onto the next flight home to Half Moon Hollow — alone, upset, and unsure whether Gabriel just ended their relationship without actually telling her.

Now the children’s-librarian-turned-vampire is reviving with plenty of Faux Type O, some TLC from her colorful friends and family, and her plans for a Brave New Jane. Step One: Get her newly renovated occult bookstore off the ground. Step Two: Support her best friend, Zeb, and his werewolf bride as they prepare for the impending birth of their baby…or litter. Step Three: Figure out who’s been sending her threatening letters, and how her hostile pen pal is tied to Gabriel. Because for this nice girl, surviving a broken heart is suddenly becoming a matter of life and undeath…

Sometimes back covers just tell it better than I can!

Jane, stuck in a foreign country when Gabriel starts getting weird phone calls and even weirder letters. Then Gabriel starts changing hotels like some people change their underwear, he sets up touristy things to do in rapid succession so many that Jane has no idea where she is half the time! Jane finds a ripped up letter in the garbage and like any woman, pieces it together and figures Gabriel is cheating. When she confronts him, he gives her the big brush off and Jane goes home, not knowing if they’ve broken up or not.

Not only is her boyfriend/sire cheating on her, someone has broken into her bookstore! Her bestfriend Zeb (human) and his wife Jolene (werewolf) are expecting their first or maybe more baby or pups. Add to that, a relative of the former owner of the bookstore has came into town and is driving them all nuts. Jane also gets into the Chamber of Commerce, which is way too Stepford Wives (all the ladies have the same name)! It’s just one thing after another for poor Jane!

I found myself snorting out loud a few times while reading Nice Girls Don’t Live Forever. Ms. Harper’s writing is fun and snark-filled! Jane is the kinda woman every woman wishes she had as a friend, even if she is a vampire. This book doesn’t disappoint, it’s full of drama, sass and action!

Sadly, Ms. Harper left a comment in her Guest Blog Post here this week stating that this may be the last Jane book for awhile! *sniffle*
