Driving Mr. Dead was a cute, light and funny read (I actually listened). Molly Harper has an excellent sense of humor and Mr. Dead was no exception to her witty character dialogue and inner monologues. I read quite a few reviews complaining about the narrator of the audio book but I actually liked her. She was energetic and made Miranda come alive for me. Her "light" accent for Collin wasn't perfect but I still enjoyed her performance.
This was a fun quirky read. Miranda and Collin made a fun odd ball couple. Miranda is a walking disaster of a human that has agreed to drive Collin, a vampire that has to control everything around him. But with Miranda around the unknown becomes fun as they travel to their destination creating havoc in their wake.
4.5 of 5 StarsOne 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
I absolutely LOVED Driving Mr. Dead. This is just a novella (which I was pleased to find in audio), but Molly Harper fits so much in that time frame, it will leave your head spinning!Miranda is one of the best characters yet. Her life up until now has been one disaster after another. She's really put her all into everything she's done, but she just can't get a break. So when this job pops up for Beeline, she's hoping that this time she'll find something she can do that won't be a total mess.This...
3 1/2 stars! Nice way to spend an afternoon. No earth-shattering plot, cute couple, with some amusing moments.Miranda is assigned to drive Collin, a vampire, across the country so he can deliver a package. Along the way they encounter more than their fair share of mishaps, and their annoyance with one another turns into attraction. What I enjoyed is that they didn't fall head over heels in love, but rather explored what they were feeling for each other, and the relationship developed slowly. Swe...
4-4.5 starsThis was a really good story. I liked both Miranda and Collin very much...although it did take a bit to get to like Collin as he was a bit of a prick in the beginning. LOL.Miranda works for Beeline, a concierge service for Vampires that's owned by Iris (the heroine from book #1, The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires). She's had bad luck with jobs in the past and is determined to do a good job as a driver for Beeline. Miranda also hasn't had much luck with men, having recently broken
3.75 stars. Couldn't resist the blurb for this fun paranormal romance. Accident-prone, black sheep of the family, Miranda, is hired to drive a stuffy, OCD vampire across country to deliver a secret package. Their route is marked by catastrophes, confessions and a reluctant admiration. This is the road trip from hell! I couldn't believe how badly things could go wrong for our heroes. It was hilarious. The author perfectly captures Collin's gradual awakening when faced with Miranda's irrepressible...
Narrated by Amanda Ronconi - Narration 5+*sStory 4.5 stars This one kept me laughing from start to finish, narrator Amanda Ronconi is perfect, love her with Molly Harper's books.

Serial rolling-stone, Miranda Puckett, is on the first day of her new job for Beeline – driving vampire’s cross-country as their personal chauffer. And her first client has perfect timing – providing Miranda with some much needed Washington-to-Kentucky driving/thinking time to sort out her ever-destructive life and butt-dialling ex-fiancé. It’s just a shame that Miranda’s maiden voyage is with Collin Sutherland. A pretentious, reclusive, up-tight vamp with sixteen-pages of instructions for his c...
4.5 starsDriving Mr. Dead was such a fun read! I loved both of the main characters in this one - this is a case of where the clumsy down on her luck heroine was written wonderfully! The story was engaging, and I couldn't wait to see what sort of scrape Collin and Miranda would find themselves in next!
Amanda Ronconi isn't terrible as a narrator but she needs to work on the male voices and maybe add a faint British accent to her repertoire.Molly Harper or Molly Harper White as the author's name was given in the audiobook isn't a terrible writer. I think the decision to make this story a novella was a good choice. I was getting pretty tired of the heroine's klutziness about the 3 hour mark.Any way, Miranda Puckett was the non-lawyer daughter in a family of lawyers. She had never really found he...
LOL I am going to say I didn't know this was a series, (Bad Bunny, bad bad bunny) this book makes me want to read the rest of the series, Miranda has had bad luck with Jobs, and it doesn't get much better when she picks up mister snooty Mc snooterton. a.k.a Colin.This was a great novella I told myself that when I was done with it that I wished it was a series. And well it is! So yay lucky me, I didn't learn that the series itself though has nothing to do with Miranda and Colin which makes me sad...
Some plausibility issues but lots of fun.
Is there any such thing as a "road book"? If there is, this is definitely it. Miranda, who through no fault of her own has failed at just about every job she has put her hand to takes a job driving a vampzilla (I made that word up...it means a difficult and demanding vampire...I made it up so I get to say what it means) from Washington to Kentucky. Just about every thing that can go wrong, goes wrong up to and including the complete destruction of their car. As they cross the country, Collin (th...
This was a cute, flirty, and humorous vampire-lite romance. The career-challenged Miranda Puckett must drive the gorgeous but seriously uptight vampire Collin Sutherland across country to deliver a secret and valuable package. Mishap after mishap ensues! Imagine 'Trains, Planes and Automobiles', but instead with the romantic duo who at first didn't care much for each other. This one made me laugh. I listened to this one on audio, but I'd recommend you just read it. I enjoy Molly Harper's writing...
I should start this review by admitting that I am a certified Molly Harper fangirl! I just discovered her hilarious brand of paranormal romance earlier this year and have read almost everything she's written. I will say that, even with all the expectations I had, I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this book and its characters. There are quite a few things I expect when I read a Molly Harper book and Driving Mr. Dead went above and beyond on almost all accounts!The first thing that comes...
This is a short story that takes us from the crazy doings in Half-Moon Hollow to Washington where we have another story of a vampire who is living alone. The new characters along with the old characters are suited to the environment that they inhabit. Each person/vampire is unique in their own way whether it is the powers they wield or simply the way they choose to live their life. Because this is a road trip story for the most part it is also about the locations that they find themselves in, wh...

4 1/2This was a really fun quick read. Miranda is prone to unforeseen incidences occurring. She is quirky, exuberant and full of life. Collin is the client being transported from Washington to Half Moon Hollow. He is surly, fastidious, and introverted. He has a multiple sheet stating his rules for this trip. He soon discovers that nothing happens the way he thinks it is going to and instead of getting angry at Miranda, he is enjoying it all. It was very much a very short version of Planes, Train...
