'There's Something About Harry' is the witty subtitle of
this shifter tale. We can guess there's something hairy
about him. He's on the phone to a call centre at the
start, asking a paranormal counsellor, who claims to be a
vampire, to help him out of his predicament. She isn't very
helpful... and Harry keeps having visions of tasty red raw
meat. Worse, his body undergoes changes just as if he was a
werewolf. How did this happen to him?
THE ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF mistakenly drank a bottle of
werewolf serum thinking it was vitamin water. He's a smart,
quiet guy who works out, and he stays single because he
doesn't realise the girls at Pack Cosmetics where he works
admire him. Mara in particular has to hide her blushes
when she receives a tweet to go help him with this
situation. There's not much anyone human can do against an
unhappy werewolf so it's just as well that Nina the vampire
also shows up ready for action.
I liked the way that normal modern dilemmas also affect
paranormal people - a lady werewolf would like to have
babies without a domineering male wolf involved, and no
human male is interested in her, so she decides to manage
by herself. Harry meanwhile takes the scientific viewpoint
that the change he has experienced can surely be undone.
Mara assures him that due to this dreadful accident being
the firm's responsibility, he's part of the pack now... but
what if he doesn't want that?
This lively story also involves a zombie, a werewolf
council, a courtroom, some strong language and adult scenes
as the characters work through their problems and discover
who they actually love. Dakota Cassidy has written several
other paranormal books with similar titles and while this
book can be read as a standalone, there are a lot of
ongoing concepts which mean it might be more fun for
someone already familiar with the series. THE ACCIDENTAL
WEREWOLF 2: there's something about Harry that says you
just have to stroke him, claws and all.
Accountant Harry Ralph Emerson has always been a by-the-
numbers kind of guy. But when he finds himself trapped at
work sprouting an obscene amount of hair, he knows his odds
for maintaining normalcy are zero to none. After a frantic
internet search, Harry goes through the OOPS—Out in the Open
Paranormal Support—checklist and comes to a disheartening
conclusion: He’s turning into a werewolf and he needs help
ASAP.
She might be the only solution.
Werewolf Mara Flaherty has long carried a torch for Pack
Cosmetics’s sexy single accountant, even after her attempt
to seduce him went down in flames. When her sister-in-law,
Marty, shows up to handle Harry’s OOPS emergency, she tasks
Mara with showing the hirsute hottie the ropes. But Mara
knows Harry’s condition is a result of her lab experiment
gone wrong—and the previously mild-mannered object of her
affection is about to give her a piece of his mind…
