Accidentally Dead, Again, Accidentally Friends #6, by Dakota Cassidy
Grade: B+
“I was the baddest ass in the land from kindergarten right up until graduation, buddy. You’re really giving your nerd prowess some serious ego. I hear a lot of hype, but I’m not seeing a lot of proof. Your serve, ninja geek.”
Sam McLean never thought going to a Halloween party for work would turn his life upside down and inside out. After a fuzzy night with a beautiful woman Same ends up at OOPS headquarters, still dressed in drag and now a vampire. OOPS helps new paranormals adjust to their new lives and talents but things go very wrong when long lost sister shows up and Sam accidentally bites her.
Phoebe Reynolds went to OOPS to find her half sister that she never knew about not to be turned into a creature of the night. Now with Sam and the ladies of OOPS they must figure out why the two new vampires have powers no one else has. When other vampires start dying horrible deaths the group must find out who’s trying to make a super race of vampires and how to stop others from dying. Working so close together Sam and Phoebe soon are struggling to keep their hands off one another but they have to learn to trust each other and finally share the secrets that could change everything.
Accidentally Dead, Again is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a very long time. This was my first experience reading anything from Dakota Cassidy and after reading ADA I am going to read all the books in the series. Even though this is the sixth book in the Accidentally Friends series I had no problem jumping feet first into the crazy world of OOPS and not feeling lost. From the very beginning the book is full of snark and it keeps going until the very last page. This keeps things fun and kept me snickering the entire time.
Sam MCLean is a nerdy scientist who get bitten after a one night stand on Halloween but Sam has lots of skeletons in his closet and is not at all what he seems. I loved Sam, especially since he wore a cowboy hat and was a geeky nerd or so I thought. Even though most of the snark was left to the ladies Sam has some great one liners and I loved him and Phoebe together. The chemistry between the two is smoking hot and it never felt forced or too cheesy.
Phoebe took me by surprise and I ended up really liking her. At first she comes off as a ditzy, fashion princess but we soon discover she is one tough cookie with a mean streak. Nina who has been in previous books and is one of the members of OOPS is Phoebe’s half sister and a vampire. The relationship between these two is a big part of the book and the battles of words these two have is amazing. Some of the things these two fling at each other had me laughing out loud and unable to stop.
I only had two problems with ADA and one isn’t even very big. My small problem was I had no idea where the three ladies of OOPS, who are all married, husbands were at during this time. It really confused me and I kept thinking “why isn’t Nina’s husband here trying to save her half sister?” I just found it really strange. My biggest problem was with Nina and how horrible she was to everyone. Maybe I need to read her book to better understand her but there were many times when I was praying that Phoebe would clock her and make her shut up. I might have missed something but after a while her I’m-broken-and-mean attitude got on my nerves.
This was such a fun book and I am so happy I found a snarky new series to read. I highly recommend the Accidentally Friends series to all fans of paranormal romance and this book especially. I haven't had this much fun reading a book in a very long time.
