About this ebook

“Molly Harper writes characters you can’t help but fall in love with” (RT Book Reviews), but how did Andrea and Dick Cheney fall in love? Join Half-Moon Hollow’s favorite couple for a trip down memory lane—to a time when Mr. Wainwright was newly dead, Jane Jameson was a newbie vampire, and a budding paranormal romance was not yet uncorked…

Half-Moon Hollow’s supernatural social event of the season—Zeb’s Titanic-themed werewolf wedding—is coming up, and Dick Cheney (not that Dick Cheney!) needs a date. But Andrea’s had enough of clever, handsome, and rakish to last a lifetime, and Dick Cheney is certainly not the sort of man you bring home to mom (not that Andrea’s deadist parents are speaking to her ever since she dropped out of college and became a blood surrogate.) Shameless, relentless, roguish, with a Stetson-worthy swagger, a naughty sparkle in his eyes, and a constant smirk—oh, and fangs—no, Dick is the last person (er…vampire) Andrea wants to date.

But the infuriatingly irresistible man who lives quietly on the edge of a criminal underworld knows exactly what he wants, and once he surprises Andrea with a thrilling hot and dirty kiss behind the paranormal bookshop, she knows what she wants too: Dick. All it takes to ignite their unconventional courtship is a near-undeath experience that confronts Dick with a choice between turning Andrea, losing her forever, or tapping into his countless shady resources in this hilarious and heartwarming enovella that revisits the early days of Molly Harper’s Nice Girls series—one that “makes me laugh and laugh” (USA TODAY).

Ratings and reviews

Andrea’s had enough of clever, handsome men but the infuriatingly irresistible Dick Cheney knows what he wants and he wants her in this charming paranormal romance. The strong captivating characters of Half-Moon Hollow draws the reader into another charming story full of snark, romance and a bit of suspense as the sizzling chemistry between Dick and Andrea ignite with a single kiss and a near un-death experience rocks their world. The past has a serious hold on Andrea and on Dick although for completely different reasons which has emotional turmoil flowing from the pages and the fast paced and smooth flowing plot charms readers as the well written scenes and details capture the imagination and bring the story to life. Half-Moon Hollow is always a witty and delightful place to visit so Dick and Andrea’s story while short and sweet is an enchanting addition to the series and I can’t wait for the next visit.

FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES is the story of how Andrea Byrne and Dick Cheney, of the Half-Moon Hollow series, fell in love, because the fans requested it, and lucky for us that Molly Harper complied. Andrea’s parents banished her from their lives because of her undead friends. Andrea is beautiful, but lacks a bit of self-assuredness; her ex-boyfriend did a real job on her. She’s wary of romantic entanglements, most of all anything that would involve bad boy Dick Cheney, who’s dead-set on dating Andrea. Dick is charming, sexy, handsome, and undead; he also doesn’t earn his keep quite legally. The tide starts to turn in his favour when he spontaneously kisses Andrea, who for once doesn’t hit him. And when a particularly scary episode happens to Andrea, Dick shows his true colours. FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES is a perfectly charming novella, and most astonishing is that it can easily be read as a standalone, even if for a reader completely unfamiliar with the Half-Moon Hollow series. Ms. Harper’s prose is light and easy, casually elegant, the dialogues clever and witty, and the author’s fabulous sense of humour shines throughout; she had me giggling too many times to mention. The pace is lively, and it is remarkable how much is crammed in this novella; the story could easily have been expanded into a full-length novel. FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES is a most entertaining and fun read which will leave fans of the series begging for more and will surely garner Molly Harper new followers. I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Fangs for the Memories by Molly Harper is the latest book in the Half-Moon Hollow series. It is the story of how Andrea Byrne and Dick Cheney (the vampire) became a couple. Andrea Byrne is a blood surrogate for vampires in the area (you can only drink so much bottled blood). Andrea is not interested in a relationship and keeps pushing Dick away. Andrea had a bad experience with a vampire in college that has affected her whole life. Will Dick be able to get past Andrea’s defenses? Will Andrea be able to look past Dick’s manners and inappropriate t-shirts? Fangs for the Memories will keep you laughing! I just loved this unique and quirky short story. We get to see a different side of Dick as he helps out Andrea (spoilers). I give Fangs for the Memories 5 out of 5 stars. I like that it was included in the series, but it did not repeat a lot of information from the other novels. We get to see a different perspective of Zeb and Jolene’s wedding (which is just hilarious). I love the setting, the characters, the great, snarky comments, and the uniqueness of this novel (and the series). In order to understand Fangs for the Memories, you really do need to read the other books in the series (you will want to read them). I received a complimentary copy of Fangs for the Memories from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
