Nina Blackman's first day on the job at the dentist's office ends up being a bit more than she bargained for when she's bitten by her first patient of the day. When she awakens a day and a half later with fangs and an unattractive longing to dine on the neighbor's Chihuahua, she phones her best friend in a panic. Marty would know what to do in this type of crisis having been turned into a werewolf a few months ago.

With her friends Marty and Wanda rallying around, Nina tries to develop a plan to find a way to return to being mortal. The women track down Greg Statleon, the vampire who bit Nina after having a bad reaction to the anesthetic, and he assures her that there's no cure for vampirism. The sexy vampire is more than willing to help Nina with the transition to immortal. In typical Nina fashion, she refuses Greg's assistance, instead deciding to rely on Wanda's romance novels to hopefully find a cure. When the novels give Nina no hope, she reluctantly turns to Greg, only to discover there's more to the sexy vampire than she first realized. Nina must give up her distaste for all things vampire and embrace the new lifestyle in time to save not only herself, but Greg.

Dakota Cassidy's ACCIDENTALLY DEAD is a laugh-out- loud follow-up to ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF and it's a winner. Nina is a brassy, ballsy, potty-mouthed, take-no-prisoners heroine with a vulnerable side she likes to keep hidden. Greg is the perfect foil for this reluctant vampire, and everyone should have friends like Wanda and Marty, who are there no matter what and willing to put up with anything to help out a friend. Ms. Cassidy is an up-and-comer in the world of paranormal romance, and I can't wait to find out what she has in store for Wanda.
