driving mr. dead, molly harper, half moon hollowSynopsis: Miranda Puckett has failed at every job she’s ever had. Her mother just wants her to come home, join the family law firm, and settle down with Jason, the perfect lawyer boyfriend. But when Jason turns out to be a lying cheater, Miranda seizes on a job that gets her out of town: long-distance vampire transportation. Her first assignment is to drive vampire Collin Sutherland from Washington to sleepy Half Moon Hollow without incident—no small feat for a woman whom trouble seems to follow like a faithful hound dog! And she has to do it without letting her passenger—the most persnickety, stuffy, devastatingly handsome vamp she’s ever met—drive her crazy. As she and Collin find disaster on the roads, they also find an undeniable spark between them.  Could Miranda have found the perfect job and the perfect guy for her?

Review: This is a great short novella if you’re in-between reads.  Though the page count isn’t particularly large, there’s a lot of character development and story there that didn’t feel any more rushed than a 350-400 page PNR novel.  It wasn’t overly angsty either which was a relief and I found myself laughing quite a bit.  I enjoyed the charm and the wit and was ultimately impressed with Molly Harper’s writing. This was my first time reading anything by this author and it won’t be the last. The Half Moon Hollow novels seem to be standalones in typical PNR fashion, but I’m definitely a fan of her alternating between novellas and full novels. I like having the option of a fun, quick and satisfying read without investing a lot of time.
