The Single Undead Moms Club

September 28, 2015
Harper returns readers to the preternatural town of Half Moon Hollow with the ninth installment (after The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire) in her hilarious paranormal romantic comedy series. What’s a desperate, widowed, dying single mother to do when all she wants is to see her young son grow up? She begins by making plans to slide out from under the thumb of her controlling in-laws and finishes by placing an advertisement for a vampiric sire. Libby is out of options and out of time for dealing with her cancer, so she throws caution to the wind to become one of the undead. Luckily, some of the other sunlight-challenged residents of the town are there to help her out. All biker Wade wants to do is raise his son in peace. When he meets Libby, sparks fly, but the living parents in the PTA think she should be shunned. Laugh-out-loud depictions of parenthood stand front and center, often overshadowing the somewhat lukewarm romance. There’s a definite sense that Wade and Libby could just as easily be friends as lovers. Series fans will enjoy the familiar faces, warm-hearted scenes of kindness, and cheer-worthy moments of joy.

In her latest romance, Harper (The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire, 2015) continues her paranormal Half-Moon Hollow series. Widow Libby Stratton had to take desperate measures when she found out that she had terminal cancer to ensure that she would be around to see her son, Danny. Of course, using an online ad to get someone to turn you into a vampire may not have been the best treatment choice. Now, not only does Libby have to learn all the vampire rules, she also has to face her ex in-laws, who do not think a vampire is the best person to raise their grandson. In spite of having to contend with a court battle and the cliquish moms of the PTA, Libby tries to maintain as normal a life as possible for Danny. But when confronted with snobbery, a hot single dad, and threats against her (undead) life, she realizes that being a vampire may be the best and worst thing that has ever happened to her. Harper's fresh humor and fast pace keep this supernatural romance moving.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
