Casey Schwartz took a job that seemed like a good idea at the time, but keeping up with two spoiled and pampered twenty-somethings has taken over her life. She was trying to get them out of trouble the night she was arrested – supposedly for assaulting a police officer. The problem is Casey doesn’t remember the night and she`s about the mellowest person anyone knows. Unsure what to do, Casey calls her sister for bail and that call is just the first of many wake up calls for Casey.

Clayton Gunnersson is an old vampire who had personal reasons for being in the bar that night. However, instead of getting out as easily as he got in, Clayton ended up causing an accident that affected both him and Casey. But first he has to find out who the woman in the bar was and then hope she will believe his wild tale. His first meeting with Casey didn’t exactly go as he hoped, but Clayton is willing to accept responsibility for his actions.

Casey has gone from mellow to having a horrible temper and producing fireballs. Her sexual libido has gone through the roof too, at least it has when Clayton is anywhere nearby. Clayton and Casey have little time to figure out how the demon blood may have changed Casey. There is also the huge matter of sexual need that has quickly gone much farther than attraction and they haven’t even kissed yet. Clayton is trying to help out while keeping secrets, but in a close group of women there is no such thing as secrets. The truth comes out, as it always will, and soon both Clayton and Casey will have to make decisions that will affect their lives forever. Even with the help of family and friends, can Clayton and Casey find a way to defeat a determined demon?

What’s a girl to do when she learns about the paranormal world and sexy vampires? Casey takes a crash course in Accidentally Demonic. Trying to finally be self-sufficient and not let on how badly her life has turned, Casey has limited her contact with friends and family. That is until she finds out she needs them more than ever.

Clayton is well respected by his vampire clan, but certain things have gone on too long. I couldn’t stop laughing as I watched Casey and Clayton interact from their first meeting until the last page. The constant and sarcastic humor twined throughout their story just helped prove there’s always a silver lining now matter how dark the problem. I enjoyed more than just Casey and Clayton’s interactions but that of the entire group. Casey and Clayton’s road was more than bumpy; it was also fun and loved-filled. Accidentally Demonic is just the ticket after a tough day for some good demonic fun.

I don’t know if this is the final Accidental book, but as I was reading along it hit me just how far the series has come since we were all worried about our color wheels. Dakota Cassidy has taken paranormal humor and twisted it with superb results.

Accidentally Demonic (An Accidental Series) Overview

The devilish new novel from the national bestselling author of The Accidental Human

When mild-mannered Casey Schwartz wakes up in jail, she has no memory of how she got there. But after her sister, Wanda, bails her out, Casey has more to deal with than a foggy memory-like abrupt mood swings and fireballs shooting from her fingertips. But things really head south when a vampire shows up on her doorstep…

Vampire Clayton Gunnersson is seriously hot. And seriously taken-by a demon. In a ritual gone wrong, Clayton tried to get rid of his unwanted bond, but spilled some demonic blood on Casey, getting her possessed in the process. Now, Casey has to share her body and manage to keep her growing attraction to Clayton in check, because falling for her demon’s boyfriend just might get Casey killed-from the inside out.

The Accidental Werewolf (Accidental Friends, Book 1) Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

Once again I have found myself out of my so-called comfort zone with my reading with Dakota Cassidy’s The Accidental Werewolf. It’s what I would definitely call a chick book, but I really enjoyed it.

As the book opens, we find Marty Andrews being confronted by a strange man who claims to have bitten her. As a result, she is now a werewolf. Whack job, Marty thinks, as her mind plays back the events of the past few days. She was on cloud nine, having finally achieved her goal of Lavender for Bobbie Sue Cosmetics. Think Mary Kay with the pink Cadillac, only with Bobbie Sue, it’s a lavender suit. With eyes on her ultimate goal, a sky blue convertible, Marty was having a hard time holding on to her “high” as she tried to bolster the morale of her newest — and only — recruits, Nina and Wanda, but of whom liken Bobbie Sue, with her peppy and constantly sunny disposition, to a cult. They are walking the street with Marty’s poodle, Muffin, when the ball of fluff goes all pit bull on a large black shepherd. In an attempt to rescue her beloved pet, Marty is nipped by the larger dog. Nothing major, but it did break the skin. In the days that passed, Marty does find herself undergoing changes that she can’t explain — a darkening of her hair, the need to constantly shave her legs, and a craving for meat (and she’s a vegan). But surely there must be some other explanation, a scientific explanation, for what is happening to her other than the Twilight Zone-ish explanation Keegan Flaherty is offering because plain and simple, werewolves do not exist.

As Marty struggles to come to terms with what is happening, and her attraction for the loony who thinks he goes all furry when the moon is full, she is kidnapped — and forced to come to terms with the truth. She has, indeed, become a werewolf — or a poor excuse for one. As she lays locked in a trunk, her anger at her kidnappers rages out of control and triggers a shift. But poor Marty, the only thing, other than superhuman strength that allows her to kick her way out of the trunk, that manifests during her shift is a poor excuse of a tail. Unable to call the police because of her condition, she calls the only person she can — Keegan Flaherty, the man who left her in this predicament.

While trying to figure out who kidnapped her, Marty has to deal with Pack politics, a jealous she-wolf who wants Keegan for herself, her rapidly growing feelings for Keegan, and her pathetic excuse for a tail and mounting frustration at the inability to shift completely.

Cassidy’s style is light-hearted and fun, which makes for a fast read. She doesn’t get overly bogged down in descriptive details that sometimes tend to grind a story to a halt, choosing to provide only the bare minimum to establish a feel for the surroundings, which helps to move the character-driven story along. The almost flippant attitude the book is written with helps to establish the characters, who you grow to care about. I often found myself in Keegan’s shoes, rolling my eyes (in a good way) and smiling as Marty rambled on with her incessant questions, her eccentricities, and her sarcasm.

There was only one problem I had with the book. There are explicit sex scenes, and while I am far from being a prude, I found them to be a stark contrast to the rest of the book, and I was left with the distinct feeling that the book was written by two different people. One person wrote the majority of the story and another person wrote the sex scenes. This is not the case (at least I don’t think it is), but it was the feeling I was left with. It would have been interesting, and less jolting, if the same light-hearted style that carried the majority of the book was applied to the sex scenes. This does not reflect badly on the author, and it will not stop me from reading more of her work. In fact, I’ve already bought the next one and will be tackling that shortly.
