5.0 out of 5 stars
Another terrific story by Dakota Cassidy, loved it!, July 1, 2008
This review is from: Accidentally Dead (The Accidental Series, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the second book in Dakota Cassidy's wonderful series (but you don't have to have read the first book - although you should! :)
It's the story of tough, potty-mouthed Nina who gets accidentally turned into a vampire. Greg is the handsome, almost 500 year old vampire, who mistakenly bit her and it trying to help her adjust to her new life.
It's a wonderful, FUNNY and touching story. Her best friends Marty (the werewolf) and Wanda are here again too.
My fingers are crossed that Wanda gets her own story next!!!

Read this before you purchase .., February 1, 2010
Trust me . . SAMPLE this book and buy How To Marry A Millionaire Vampire instead.
I love vampire books, fantasy books, etc.. and i very rarely say I couldn't finish a book.
However, this has to be the worst drivel I have ever read. I mean really .. ! how many curse words does it take to make a good story? Apparently, if you're trusting the positive reviews, it averages to about every 5th word.
I couldn't get past the 2nd chapter. I couldn't even finish the 2nd chapter actually. This was one of the most painful reads I have ever subjected myself to.
I own pretty much every vampire book out there, good, bad, and worse. This is by far the worst.
The main character is whiney and obnoxious, her two friends are ludicrous and silly. Not one of them is in the least like-able or even vaguely interesting. Maybe the book gets better if you can get beyond the 1st chapter where the main character is arguing with her "accidental" werewolf friend about whether or not she's making up having been turned into a vampire because she's jealous . . really ladies ??
I'm not a prude, I'm not overly judgemental , and yeah, I curse. But there's a limit. I found the main character to be vulgar, obnoxious, whiny. I like when the leading lady has a strong backbone, however . . cursing consistently does not a strong person make. A little class is what these ladies are missing. As of page 3 I lost all respect for the main character. by about the 12th, I couldn't stand the 2nd character. .
I'm wracking my brain for something positive to say, and all I can come up with is that it's a book about vampires. If that is all the criteria you need, buy this book now. If, however, you're looking for like-able characters, possibly a touch of class, an interesting story that captivates you, try something else.
How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks, based on the same premise (a dental assistant gets bitten by a vampire ), is brilliant. From the 1st chapter I couldn't wait to find out what happens next.

Too hard to love, June 28, 2009
This review is from: Accidentally Dead (The Accidental Series, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
It was a struggle to finish this book given the main character's constant foulmouthed trash talk and aggressive attitude. I couldn't relate to her in any way and found it unfathomable that such an insecure, angry person would have an eternally happy ending with a vampire hunk. I've read the Twilight series, Sookie Stackhouse series, Argeneau series, and other paranormal vampire romance books. This is at the bottom on the love/romance meter.
