Waiting on Wednesday (103)
My pick this week:
by Molly Harper
Publication Date: July 31st, 2012
Pre-Order:
Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon
Hollow’s only daytime vampire concierge, knows more about the undead
than she’d like. Running all their daylight errands—from letting in the
plumber to picking up some chilled O neg—gives her a look at the
not-so-glamorous side of vampire life. Her rules are strict;
relationships with vamps are strictly business, not friendship—and
certainly not anything else. But then she finds her newest client, Cal,
poisoned on his kitchen floor, and only Iris can help.
Cal - who would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris allowed herself to think that way - offers Iris a hefty fee for hiding him at her place until he figures out who wants him permanently dead. Even though he’s imperious, unfriendly and doesn't seem to understand the difference between "employee" and "servant," Iris agrees, and finds herself breaking more and more of her own rules to help him - particularly those concerning nudity.
Turns out what her quiet little life needed was some intrigue & romance—in the form of her very own stray vampire.
