Why is he a rebound vampire?

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

*Warning spoilers, but I've tried to keep them vague, if you've ever read a Harper novel you know that you know the general formula anyway ;)!*
I enjoy listening to Harper's books, good easy listening. However the character development in this book was really weak which meant that I didn't really warm to Gigi or Nick's character at all. We didn't really find out anything about them. Gigi's a 20 year old 'computer nerd' with a difficult past and Nicks a Russian vampire who does favours for his friends, that really is pretty much all we know. They fall in love after about 5 meetings as far as I can tell and 2 of those involved him not being himself. Then apparently they are going to spend the rest of their lives together? She's only 20, she hasn't even finished uni yet, and they barely know each other! I know it's a story about vampires and obviously that means that we suspend belief but the whole time I was just thinking well that's all fine and well but you guys have barely ever been in the same room for more than 5 minutes? Also why is this book called 'The dangers of dating a rebound vampire'? Why is he rebound?
Amanda Ronconi is fab as always.

Good but not that good!

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series so far but was a little disappointed with this one. I found it unlikely that Gigi and Nick would be able to fall in love based on their very limited and often life threatening interactions. I have to say that this book lacked some of the fast paced humour and story twists compared to the others. Having said that I still finished the book and was at times loathed to put it down, so good but not that good.

Excellent book as always from Molly Harper

What did you like most about The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire?

I love the light-hearted style of writing. Often vampire books are violent and aggressive but not the Half Moon Hallow series.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the growing relationship between Gigi and Nicholas

Have you listened to any of Amanda Ronconi’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have listened to all the Molly Harper books and Amanda has been a good ambassador, quality work.

Any additional comments?

It is the style of book I can put on in the car with my husband on our journey to Scotland without him complaining - it is an entertaining listen.
The only criticism I may have is that Molly Harper tells the backstory from other books on most of the characters first time they appear in this book which is irritating when I have read all the previous books.

Just cannot get enough of Molly Harper!

I love, love, love, love everything about these books. They are fun, easy listens and they help relax and calm me into sleep or leave me rolling in the aisles on the bus. Amanda Ronconi is just fab. Keep'em coming

Still enjoyed it!

I still don't understand why this story was split into two books, but I did enjoy it, so I guess it could be worse?

Brilliant!!

Loved this one! It was good to see Nick return after meeting him in the short Christmas story 'I'm dreaming of an undead Christmas'.
Gigi and Nick make a great couple - they make their already some what complicated relationship work despite the added complications of curses, unwanted affection / attention and loving but interfering family members. Looking forward to seeing how the events at the end of the book play out in the future.
Amanda did another great job bringing the story to life with her narration skills.

Good

I love the whole series and the way Molly writes with every character having their own quirky attitude. Only negative I'd say is she sometimes repeats whole scenes and history of certain characters. But definitely a gripping and entertaining read/listen, often making me smile and laugh.
