The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire by Molly Harper
4.0
Actual rating: 3.5
Some spoilers ahead
or How Iris's (from The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires) Little Sister Gets Dragged Into the Supernatural World Permanently Despite Big Sister's Attempts to Protect Her From It
*Although, I really didn't see how Nik was a rebound vampire. I mean, Gigi did break up with his steady, dependable, sweet human boyfriend because she was hung up with a vampire dude who stalked her, kissed her out of nowhere and then ran off (I know, it's a little disturbing); but I don't think Nik qualifies as a rebound boyfriend. Gigi and Nik were cute and adorable together. Really. I just didn't relish the insta-love thing even though I somewhat, sometimes [dubiously] believe in love at first sight.
*They may have been cute and adorable and I will bite into their being really in love but theirs didn't hold a candle to the growth and development of Iris and Cal's relationship in the first book of the series. It's so good to see characters from previous books in the series.
*You know, there's pattern/template for the couples in Molly Harper books. The couples are good together and they are good for each other. They banter, they snark, they just click together. They have easy relationships with understanding, trust, love (of course), respect, humor and lightness amidst being a dangerous world of preternatural. And dare I say it? Little to no angst. Oh my goodness, such a breath of fresh air in a what is otherwise an angst-and-drama-filled genre.
*Well, I could always count on the lightness and the humor that I come to expect while reading a Molly Harper book. The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire rang with those two qualities even if it was discussing a dangerous, sexy vampire, a jealous, spiteful vampire and a creepy, murderous, boyfriend-wannabe officemate.
*Another delightful Molly Harper read.
