Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
So I decided to read this because it seemed pretty popular with readers. I like the idea of the book and I remember liking the spin-off series she wrote. (Which I read before this) However, I actually found it a bit boring, the romance was sparse and uneventful. Not much really happened, it's like the author just took this book to teach you the background of her world, a lot of internal monologue. The ending was very anticlimactic.That being said I will try a sample of the next book, sometimes first books aren't a hit and it takes a book or two for the story to get going. I waffled between giving this a 3 or 4 stars because the humor felt a little forced at some points and the plot was weak through most of the book but I genuinely enjoyed it despite those things. Really, it was Amanda Ronconi's excellent narration that was the deciding factor. It didn't feel like she was reading a book at all. It felt like she was living it and I was simply in her head listening. I think that's exactly what a good narrator does. The book felt like a first in a series and I'm going to definitely listen to the next in the series but I'm hoping for some more depth if I'm gonna keep listening beyond that.
What do You think about Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs (2009)?
Quick, entertaining read. Who wouldn't enjoy a book about a librarian turned vampire?
