He was just looking for a night of fun.

After a wild work-sponsored Halloween party, entomologist Sam McLean wakes up with a spotty memory—and a pointy set of fangs. Sam’s one-night stand wasn’t just dressed as a vampire; she had the bite to match. Somehow, Sam ends up at the OOPS office, where paranormal crisis counselors Nina, Marty and Wanda give him the down-low on accidentally becoming a creature of the night.

What he got was an eternity of trouble.

Sam is speeding through the stages of newbie grief, until a woman named Phoebe Reynolds bursts onto the scene claiming to be Nina’s sister—resulting in a catfight that ends with Phoebe’s luscious behind in the direct path of Sam’s fangs. Now, the OOPS girls have two fledgling vamps on their hands, and their powers—and the attraction building between them—are unlike anything they’ve seen before...

Review

The sixth book in the accidental series takes the reader on a wild adventure that may or may not lead to two accidental vampires being dead…again.

I loved every moment of this book. From the naughtiest naughty words to the heroine that equates everything happening with what happened on a soap opera, it is a funny and irreverent story.

Sam McLean doesn’t know what hit him…literally. He wakes up on the steps of OOPS (Out-in-the-open Paranormal Support) dressed in drag with fangs and an unholy thirst for blood. All he wanted was a little action at a company Halloween party, but he got much more.

Phoebe Reynolds comes into OOPS the same day as Sam, but for different reasons. She is there to see her half-sister, Nina. In fact, she is there to introduce herself to her sister since they have never met. Then in a crazy twist of WTF she ends up falling bottom first into Sam’s newly acquired fangs.
Now there are two baby vampires for the OOPS girls to settle and another problem that they haven’t learned yet that will shake all five of them to their core.

Sam and Phoebe are both great characters. I loved how Phoebe is Nina-lite. She doesn’t cuss as much, but she is just as tough. It was fun seeing Nina have to face off with herself. Sam is very charming and keeps everyone calm when Nina and Phoebe start into each other. But there is more to Sam than meets the eye.

Everyone has secrets in this book and I loved how they were revealed one by one. Some of the secrets led to a feeling of betrayal, but there were all being kept for very good reasons.

The main plot revolves around trying to find a cure for the type of vampirism Sam and Phoebe have been infected with. They aren’t your run of the mill vampires. I loved the excitement and down-to-the wire feel of the plot. The action truly happens through the whole book right up to the end. Every chapter is something new the characters have to live through or adjust to and it makes for a very entertaining book.

If you like Michele Bardsley or Mary Janice Davidson, you’ll love Dakota Cassidy.
