I'm Dreaming of an Undead Christmas by Molly Harper
Narrator: Amanda Ronconi
Length: 3 hrs and 43 mins
Date Read: December 2013
Genre: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy
More Information:It's Christmas in Half-Moon Hollow and newly turned vampire Iris Scanlon-Calix wants to make Gigi's first visit home from college as normal and special as possible. It's taken months for Iris to work up the nerve to spend time around her baby sister after her vampire transition, so she enlists help from Jane Jameson and Company to keep her blood-thirst under control and assure Gigi's safety.
Gigi, on the other hand, has problems of her own, including the demise of her relationship with high school sweetheart, Ben, and a looming job interview with Ophelia Lambert, the scariest potential employer in the Hollow. And then there's the small matter of the handsome, frustrating vampire who keeps appearing in Gigi's peripheral vision, then disappearing before she can talk to him.
Can the Scanlon sisters negotiate romantic problems, vampire politics, and Christmas cookie disasters and enjoy a relatively normal holiday?

First Thought when Finished: I’m Dreaming of an Undead Christmas was fun, sassy, but didn’t give me answers darn it!
Story Thoughts: Let me start by saying this: Molly Harper is ALWAYS a hoot to read/listen too. I may have one teensy weensy problem with this story but it was well worth the time I spent listening to it. I laughed so hard at the attempt of a perfect Christmas with Vampires that tea was coming out of my nose. So why the story rating of 3.0 (which isn’t bad by the way)? I NEEDED to know! I can’t say what if you haven’t listened to it yet but let me just say that there better be another (preferably longer) book coming about these two.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated by Amanda Ronconi / Length 3 hrs and 43 mins
I am an Amanda Ronconi fan girl. I have been known to pick up books because she narrates them. She is one of the best in the business. That being said, the combination of her and Molly Harper is a match made in heaven. You must try these on audio!
Final Thoughts: I’m Dreaming of an Undead Christmas was delightful and fun!

Great review. I have yet to try this series, sounds like fun. Bummer you did not get the answers you were hoping for at least it was still an enjoyable read. Love the new holiday background and banner.
I picked this one up too! I’m a bit behind on audio review books though so I’m not sure I’ll even get to listen to this one during this holiday season. 🙁
I grabbed too, I can’t pass a free audiobook 😉 Sounds like a fun listens and quick too. I got to squeeze in one of these days.
Anyhow, I just now was finally able to add your feed to my yahoo page. I don’t know why I kept getting a text file 🙁
I’m glad it’s working on my end now.
Well, I don’t mind it not being a 5 but Molly Harper and free?? That’s for me! 🙂
It is still free! WHEE!
Nice short review Felicia, one day I will read one of her books …
This sounds like a super fun! I really hope for your sake that she brings out a sequel with some answers.. nothing more frustrating than that.. other than the wait!
I haven’t listened to Amanda, but if she can pull off what I envision of Harper…she must be DYNO-MITE!
Pooh, I really wanted this one, dunno what is up with audible and I
I recently read my first Molly Harper book earlier this year and LOVED IT! I want – no – need to read more!! I wish she offered the freebie in ebook as well, oh well! Thanks!!
Must be a Molly Harper day today Melissa reviewed one of hers as well. Is this just a prequel or something? It sounds like fun but it also sounds like you were left wanting more!
I’m listening to it now. You have me wondering. 🙂
You have me curious about this series. I love that you have a good time listening to them.
I had the same thought and asked Harper on Twitter if Gigi gets her own book and she said “yes!”. So we will get more of the mystery man.
I love Molly Harper’s books so I’ll definitely be checking out this one.
I hope that this is the beginning of a longer story for the couple because that ending sounds frustrating lol
