A standalone novella introducing a new side of Half Moon Hollow—featuring a freewheeling courier and the stuffy vampire she has to transport.

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?

New Note: Just want to add that now that I have done much more reading in this genre, including other Molly Harper books, I STILL love this book! I have read it at least three times, and it's a go-to book for me when I want a lift. I even bought the audio version (fantastic). This is absolutely a favorite book! I

Original Review--

I've never read a Molly Harper book before. I had no expectations and was unaware there was a series to which this is a spin-off. I'm actually disappointed--I'd like the two characters of "Driving Mr. Dead" to be part of a series of their own.

I found this book nearly perfect--hysterical, with loveable and funny characters (yes, including Colin the anal-retentive vampire whom Miranda reforms) and hilarious situations that came one after the other--at first due to Miranda's knack for catastrophe, and then due to Colin's new sense of adventure. Molly Harper has a way of putting more humor in a sentence than anyone I believe I have ever read.

This wasn't a slow ride for me. I found the pacing just perfect. I loved the gradual evolution of Colin from stuffed shirt to a sense of humor and a renewed interest in life. I loved how Miranda figured out her own life at the same time. And...the romance was wonderful!

If I had one wish, it would be that there was a bit more to the happily-ever-after. I would have liked a hint that Miranda might consider making her relationship with Colin an eternal one--although I like to think that someday she would. However, the ending is satisfying just the way it is.

Please read this. You won't be sorry. And I sincerely hope that Molly Harper will revisit these characters again.

One night, I needed a book that I knew would make me laugh and lift my spirits, so I picked up Driving Mr Dead by Molly Harper, and I was not disappointed. What do you get when an anal-retentive, reclusive vampire must travel cross country with a fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants, accident-prone woman? The answer is hilarity, entertainment, and a spark of romance.

I love Miranda, she is a woman who is open to trying new things, she doesn't like being confined and reformed into being the model of the perfect daughter and wife, so while she is trying to figure out what to do with her life and how to handle her cheating fiancé, she accepts a job offer, to drive a vampire across the country. The vampire is far from easy going, he has demands and is determined to keep to a set schedule, despite various road trip set backs. The pair is set to clash from the start, but as they say, sometimes opposites attract.

If I had to describe Driving Mr Dead in one phrase it would be, a really fun read. The antics and accidents that befall Miranda and Collin (said anal-retentive vampire) are surprising, hilarious, and completely unpredictable. Miranda is in the middle of some pretty big life changes, and trying to figure out a new path for her life. Collin has been secluded for so long, and it takes Miranda to pull him out of his shell. The pair make a great match and combined with their hilarious story, I absolutely loved this quick, fun read.

Readers, if you enjoy paranormal books, chick lit, humorous books, anything that will make you smile, I highly recommend this book. Let's face it, sometimes you just need a book that will make you smile, and Driving Mr Dead fits the bill. It is a short novel, which makes for a really quick read that I very highly recommend. After reading this book, I am more excited than ever for Molly Harper's next release, The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires, which features many of the characters from this book and the Jane Jameson series.

Miranda Puckett never had the best of luck with jobs, in fact she failed miserably more often than not but when she took the job as Beeline’s driver, she could never had anticipated the collaboration of issues that could occur. Fights, ambushes, vandalism, credit card issues, the list goes on and on and that’s just in her first trip. The trip that started out with a sixteen page list of requests and rules from the vampire that she was to transport from Washington to Half Moon Hollow with a very important package for Ophelia. A trip that could very well be her last because she will more than likely get fired.

Colin Sutherland was an uptight, recluse of a vampire that had not been around people for a very, very long time. His unique gift deemed it necessary because it caused his brain to go into overload but surprisingly, he didn’t have that problem with Miranda which was a very pleasant surprise. He hadn’t been surprised by anything since he became a vampire. His cross country trip with Miranda was full of them.

I never thought that there would be another person that had worse luck than Jane Jameson, man was I ever wrong! Miranda’s life makes Jane’s seem like a cake walk because while Jane’s life didn’t seem to get crazy until the day that she became a vampire, Miranda’s has been that way her entire life. This book was so funny! Miranda’s misfortunes were hilarious and once Colin opened up, he was quite funny himself.

This book can be read as a stand-alone book but I suggest that you read all of the others in the series first starting with Nice Girls Don’t have Fangs.

While the book cover could be deceiving since Miranda does not look anything like the girl on it (missing the full lips and the frizzy hair) this is an awesome book to read from first page to the end. Loved the tone of the book, Miranda's character and of course, Mister Sutherland. While the story line could be easily predicted from the first page, the book is a must read for all fans of supernatural humorous book for which Molly Harper is famous.
highly recommend it especially since it brings a little human touch in the vampire saga, which is refreshing.
Only vampire books start to be a little passé.

"After failing as a magician's assistant, a photographer, and most recently, a bride, Miranda Puckett takes a position as a driver for Beeline, Half-Moon Hollow's premiere vampire concierge service.

Miranda's assignment? Driving Collin Sutherland, the world's most fastidious vampire from Washington to Kentucky, so he can deliver a mysterious black case to Council official Ophelia Lambert.

Collin, a paranoid, aristocratic vampire with a debilitating fear of flying, refuses to let the case out of his sight. Miranda needs this time on the road to decide whether to permanently cut her ties with the fiance that had an "emotional affair" with a childhood pal, but Collin's neatnik tendencies are driving her around the bend. The man acts as if leaving a fast food wrapped on the passenger seat is reason for a full-on CDC decontamination scrub-down of the car. All she can do is promise to stop intentionally doing the things that make his stiff upper lip twitch with irritation.

As more and more mishaps occur on the road trip from hell, Miranda and Collin work together to meet his delivery deadline. Hotel rooms are destroyed. Beloved cars are defiled. And somewhere along the line, client-driver hostilities become snarky flirtation.

Will Collin and Miranda make it to the Hollow in one piece? And if they do, will Miranda leave old, safe relationships behind for something new and well, just plain weird?"

***

OK - so this isn't really breaking any new ground. The main focus of DRIVING MR. DEAD is the burgeoning romance, no surprise what happens there. What makes this read a winner is the humour;. Simply put; Molly Harper is hilarious and she projects her sense of humour through her characters.

You may have noticed the one of the setting for DRIVING MR. DEAD is Sleepy Moon Hollow, the setting for the author's 'Jane Jameson' series of books. However this is a completely different series. Fingers crossed that the later books in it also get released in the not-too-distant future...

I really enjoyed this book, it was funny and romantic and l didn't want to stop reading it. This book would appeal to all age groups as it was not filled with gratuitous sex, but nice romantic scenario. I love the Half Moon Hollow series and look forward to more books being published as I've read them all to date.

Another enjoyable Half-Moon Hollow spinoff! I always like reading about the peripheral characters, I feel it gives a better sense of the settings.
