They are clearly in a toxic relationship, and she ends it but no let's get them back together. Also while we're at it why not fuck Andrea over.
I love this series. It's light, fluffy, and incredibly entertaining. The fight between Grandma Ruthie and Aunt Jettie made me laugh out loud.
I have loved all the Jane books. They are funny and insanely good reads.

As enjoyable as the first book, and one of the plot lines that most annoyed me in the second book gets a satisfying resolution here.

After the chaotic events of the previous book, Jane Jameson was looking forward to a relaxing European vacation with her sire and boyfriend, Gabriel. But when their getaway is ruined by Gabriel’s secrets and a mysterious stalker following them from city to city, Jane breaks things off and returns to Kentucky to take up her bookstore business, reconnect with her diverse circle of supernatural friends, deal with her always problematic family and, most of all, not think about Gabriel. Unfortunately, both her sire and his problems follow her home and soon Jane finds herself with a dangerous enemy.
Each book in this series has felt like an improvement over the last one. Nice Girls Don’t Live Forever feels like the most focused and well-paced book in the series so far. It is also, as always for this serious, hilarious. My favorite storyline involved Jane’s attempt to join the local Chamber of Commerce, which has been taken over by pink-clad blondes more interested in aesthetic fundraisers than supporting small businesses, and the developments in her relationship with her sister, Jennifer. Jane and Jenny have been enemies since the series began, but in this book, Jane has to look at whether their rivalry is as one-sided as she’s always assumed and whether she and Jenny might have more in common than they thought. I was really glad to see this plotline since, as much as Jane’s family problems have been funny so far, getting to see her family get some character development and their relationships with Jane evolve was satisfying.
The main storyline, involving Jane and Gabriel’s breakup, and the arrival of a new enemy, wasn’t as emotionally satisfying. For some reason, it seems every vampire romance has to include a plotline where the older vampire keeps secrets about their past for no damn reason and it causes drama, and this book gave us that story for Jane and Gabriel. I’ve really liked Gabriel so far in this series - he manages to hit all the good points of the brooding, sexy vampire love interest without the more irritating qualities - so it was disappointing to see the way he treated Jane in this book. I didn’t so much forgive him by the end as feel glad that this plotline was over with. And as much as I didn’t like the emotional undercurrent, the actual plot was well-written, tense and exciting and had a really dramatic ending, so I was satisfied.
