The Accidental Vampire

Elvi can’t believe her ears when her friends told her that they put an ad in the newspaper to find a mate for her. Suddenly she finds herself surrounded by vampires who are interested in her. Most of them are funny and interesting but Victor is the most intriguing of the lot. What she doesn’t know is that he only came to her because he thought that she was a rogue vampire. But he is in for a huge surprise, because he meets his lifemate and not a rogue.

Ms. Sands’ Argeneau series really rocks and THE ACCIDENTAL VAMPIRE is no exception. Although the book is the seventh book in the Argeneau series, you can definitely read it as a stand-alone. It is also a got book if you want to try out the series.

It’s hilarious to see how Elvi lived with all the cliché of Vampires, like sleeping in a coffin, no food, etc. and how she reacts when she learns that she lived in hell for five years. There will be more than one scene that will have you laughing out. This reviewer really liked the new twists to the typical vampire lore. That’s what sets this book as well as the whole series apart from other books.

Another aspect that adds fun to the story is the special secondary characters, like Elvi’s other suitors or the citizens of Elvi’s hometown.

Ms. Sands is one of the best authors when it comes to funny vampire stories and this book is another keeper so make space on your keeper shelf.
