I'm not generally a big fan of comic paranormal romance, but this one actually did make me laugh. Small town gal Elvi got accidentally turned into a vampire five years ago and all she knows about how to be one comes from Dracula movies, but her entire town supports her and takes care of her, donating blood and building her a custom coffin. It's all very silly and charming. Some hot sex scenes, too.

Victor's story is as enjoyable as all the other Argeneau clan. Elvi's misconceptions as a new vamp are humorous tinged with sadness. Each story can stand alone, but I strongly recommend reading them in order to understand the family dynamics.

Book #7 in the series and just as well written as the first 6. Since each book can stand alone you don't have to read them in order, however to understand the family history you should...
Victor thinking he's after a rouge vampire is surprised to find Elvi Black and accidental vampire who only knows about being a vampire from the Dracula movie. Victor has to teach her everything he knows...

I was disappointed with this book. I found that the hero and heroine sometimes behaved out of established character and the ending felt rushed. One particular plotline that the leads were worried about throughout the entire book suddenly became a non-issue in one sentence and the main drama also became a non-issue with simply a shrug. It seems as if the author wanted everyone to have a happy ending and the last chapter wrapped everything up nice and neat with a pretty bow on top. This is the second time I've been disappointed with a book in the Argeneau series based on uncharacteristic and/or stupid decisions made by the leads.

Kind of slow in the beginning but it gets so much better. It is really cool how elvi becomes a vampire. So different!

by accident? Yes indeed. How did that happen, worth reading the book to find out. More fun than I expected. That does not mean the immortals are not intense but the Accidental Vamp is cute, sexy and a great read.

I read this book first and didn't know it was part of a series. I liked that the author had a new "take" where vampires come from and how they are not the evil dead. I just recently finished books 1, 2, and 3. It seems that you do not have to read them in a certain order to understand what is going on and each book is good enough to stand on it's own, but you will get a spoiler on who gets married.... and might ruin the ending of previous books so I would suggest starting them in order. I actually think the author is funny, and has a easy flowing writing style that makes for a fun, quick read. I think so far book 3 is my fav!

I read this book about a month ago (in two days), and as always I love Lynsay Sands books. They have the right amount of paranormal, mixed with humor and most importantly a smooth flowing writing style that makes it hard to put the book down. I recommend anyone who is a fan of paranormal romance to read this book!

I loved this books. All of the books in this series have been great but this one is by far is the best. Elvi(short for Elvira,not actually her name)was bitten by a vampire and now spends her days in a coffin, avoiding garlic, and pulling the tight black dresses, that she thinks she has to wear, into place. One of her friends puts a personal ad in the paper to get her a vamp boyfriend and as you can expect it goes outragously down hill from there. This book was so funny that I caught myself laughing out loud several times. I could just picture some of the well meaning town folk(I also come from a small town)making the kind of well meant remarks that Elvi had to put up with. Was unable to put it down until I reached the end. Luckily, I have the next two in the series so I can continue on in the Argeneau world for a few more days.
