Still funny even if a slightly 'loose' story.

If you could sum up The Single Undead Moms Club in three words, what would they be?

Funny, esay listening!

What did you like best about this story?

It's a new and diffrent character. I like the fact that Lacey hasn't been referred to before, we don't have any pre-concived ideas as to who and what she is like. There are a few twists and a whole new idea explored about someone being 'changed'.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The big foot party. I can just imagine two little boys getting a glimpse of this mythical creature and being both awed and terrified.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's a small and fairly irrelevant scene but when no one shows up to the party, i was so sad for both mum and son and hoped someone would help, and in true half moon hollow style - they do!

Any additional comments?

Like i said it is an easy book to listen to, it's not the most gripping of all the stories by Molly Harper write well and Amanda Ronconi narration brings it to life. Not disappointed.

Like a series of short stories

Would you try another book written by Molly Harper or narrated by Amanda Ronconi?

Yes. I have listened to most of her books. Amanda Ronconi is excellent as the narrator. This feature of an audiobook cannot be underestimated.

Would you be willing to try another book from Molly Harper? Why or why not?

Yes - particularly anything related to Half Moon Hollow. Her sense of humour and twisted look at modern day life is enjoyable.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The scene shopping for school supplies was memorable. The favourite has to be the bigfoot scene.

Was The Single Undead Moms Club worth the listening time?

Yes, but only because I'm already interested in the world that has been created and can be sustained on appearances from Jane Jameson and friends. If I didn't have that to keep me listening, I might have found this book a little less riveting than others.

Any additional comments?

I generally like the Molly Harper Half Moon Hollow books. The series of 4 novels about Jane Jameson are worth a listen. The concept is creative and well thought through. This book was no exception - the main character's rationale for becoming a vampire is believable and the interactions with Jane Jameson and crew are always a joy - really, you read it for Jane's appearances. However, the episodes of this book read like a series of short stories about the main character patched together. Some of the plot elements felt like they could have benefited from longer development - like the sire tension and the death threats. While they were all quite good, I didn't have the same commitment to the main character.

Another great read (listen)!

Where does The Single Undead Moms Club rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love Molly Harper's Half Moon Hollow series and this is another great instalment. We get to meet some new characters as well as catching up with old friends. These books are a great blend of humour, romance and the supernatural and well worth reading/listening.

Have you listened to any of Amanda Ronconi’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I love all of Amanda Ronconi's performances and characterisations. She is one of a relatively small number of narrators who seem to get things right every time. I love the fact that her voices are so consistent and that you can recognise characters, who you may not have heard speak for a couple of books, instantly when they reappear.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this series to anyone who likes light-hearted and humorous romance tales with a sprinkling of supernatural magic. It's best to start with the Jane Jameson series and then move on to the Half Moon Hollow continuation. Molly Harper's separate (but linked) werewolf series is also a must have. I am just starting on the Bluegrass series too :)

Funny, sexy

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The whole series is brilliant, especially worth listening to on audiobook.

What does Amanda Ronconi bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Fabulous voice, great with humour

Any additional comments?

Finally, I got to read the latest instalment of the series HalfMoon Hollow, or should I say listen to. I waited the extra time for the audio book and I was not disappointed. It was a blend of the usual sweet, romantic, sad, funny and sexy that I’m becoming very used to with Molly Harper, but it still managed to bring something new to the series. Wade’s character was particularly attractive, and I thoroughly enjoyed the book/audio.

Funny and entertaining

What did you like most about The Single Undead Moms Club?

You are going to get yourself turned into a vampire in order to be able to look after your son as you have a terminal illness. Well that is what Libby wanted to do and succeeded including getting into trouble with the council the moment she arises, whoops.

This book is unique from the beginning you are introduced the authors quirky sense of humour and it stays throughout. From Dick Chaney being one of the vampires on the council to the blood lust training with a cat spray technique. Even as the love interests come into play you are left trying not to smirk or laugh too loud at the antics that she gets up to.

Libby grows in your heart as her fight and will to keep going to protect her son no matter what lets her character grow. The only downside is there is a lot to Jane's back story that is hinted at throughout but hard to understand if you haven't read the previous books. Not necessary I might add but probably helpful.

Just so easy

I totally love these books. They are witty and Amanda ronconi is amazing. However having listened to all the others multiple times I have noticed a lot of repetition of parses and scenes, so I am taking a star off for that. All round fun. Plus love the British accent!!!

Not as good as the rest.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I couldn't relate or like the main character. I didn't even finish the book.

Has The Single Undead Moms Club put you off other books in this genre?

No, I loved the rest of the series which is why I tried and tried to finish the book but I gave up in the end.

What about Amanda Ronconi’s performance did you like?

I love Amanda ronconi. I have most of the books that she narrated. She does the voices of the individual characters so well that you know who's talking before she tells you.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I love that Jane and dick were still able to make me chuckle.

Any additional comments?

I really don't know if I'm going to buy the next in the series but I loved the rest.

Excellent

Any additional comments?

Loved this! It was so funny and I love the Hollows brand new vampire! I can't wait for more in this series!

Dull

This book is really dull. Libby is an irritating character that just annoyed me from the start. All she does is whine. She's also a bit of a tart. I listen for 6 hours hoping the story would go somewhere but to be honest this was like reading the diary of any single mother. Dull and tedious. The narrator was okay.
