I completely enjoyed this book. It reminded me of the sookie stakehouse series but with out the otherworldly vampires of course. Abby Cooper is a easy character to relate and I am thirsty for more. I cant wait for the next book. If you like mystery with the supernatural then this is one to try.

I love how Dakota Cassidy continues to combine the lifes of Marty and Nina into her third book The Accidental Human. This one continues the trio's lifes. I cant wait for the next book The Accidental Demon.

This was a great chick lit! The characters were fun and interesting from the start. When Marti is bitten by a "dog" while trying to save her poodle from an attack in an alley, she is thrown into a paranormal world of werewolves. It only gets funnier from there. From being kidnapped to cordinatoring her color wheel of life, Marti finds love and two great friends on the way. Accidental Dead is a great follow up and even better. Can't wait for the third book--The Accidental Human.

Definately a keeper in the personal book collection.


The Baby Gizmo Buying Guide: From Pacifiers to Potties . . . Why, When, and What to Buy for Pregnancy Through Preschool
Review Date: 10/9/2011


This book offered so many great tips. I really liked how it explained what you really DON'T need to register for baby.

Baby Gizmo had tips about safety and guidelines to look for when shopping for cribs, mattresses, strollers, activity mats, high chairs, diaper bags, car seats and so much more.

This was my go-to guide when I started my registry and i recommend this for any first-time moms!

This was a decent light read. I starting reading it but had a hard time getting connected to the characters. I read about 90 pages and decided it just wasnt for me. But if you want something cute and easy beach or backyard book then this is a nice one to take along.

This was by far the least fave of the series. It was interesting how stephenie meyer decided to take the series to a whole different level but she just jumped too fast from the third book and only summarized major parts in the beginning so she can just get right into the wedding. I thought it would lead into the wedding at a more easier pace. Also, one reviewer miss wrote something very important. This book is in two peoples perspective: it starts with Bella (the first third of the book), then Jacob (the second third) and then ends with the last third in Bella again. (Edward's perspective is never revealed). Twilight was the best and the movie will be great to see how it is different from the book. Midnight Sun (which is Twilight written in Edward's perspective) would have been great to read if Stephenie Meyers ever decided to give her fans what they deserve by finishing it.

This is a great chick lit. This is a strong woman (or vampire) who makes a go a her own business while shopping for the best clothes. My type of gal. She finds fun and trouble around corners and keeps her eyes on the hot bounty hunter who is hot. Many say this is close to the Undead series by Davidson. I have not read that series since the cover was not enough to get me to open the book. Kimberlye Raye knows how to captivate a reader.

I like this book enough to continue on with the series with the second book: Living Dead in Dallas. Dead Until Dark was written well and witty enough to keep me interested. I thought some parts was a little too goofy though like when Bill and her are on then off again. The charaters did develope well and I hope this is a good start for this series. I am on the second book right now.

This series was a easy and light read. The ending was pleasantly wrapped up. But the author chapters were too short and the book line spacing was too much. This could have easily have been a single book. It was a nice, easy read though and if you like MaryJanice Davidson then I do recommend getting this series for a quick one night read.

Overall, this was a decent book for some reading.

"Mortal in Myssteria" by Susan Grant was my least favorite. It started good but I felt the ending was rushed almost.

"Alone Wolf" by MaryJanice Davidson was almost a tie-in with her Wynham Werewolves series that I have enjoyed. I almost wanted more with the rest of the pack to help pick up the speed of those one. I realized after reading this and looking at the previous reviews that this almost may tye in with 'Sleeping with the Fishes" I have not read any of that series yet but I did decided to put it on my need to be read list.

"Witches of Mysteria" by Gena showalter's was interesting and tyed in with the next short read with PC Cast. I definately wanted more stories to read of the sisters. I hope there is more stories from them. I do believe these three have more to tell.

"Candy Cox and the Big Bad Werewolf" by PC Cast was almost linked wtih Gena Showalter's witches. I was glad to see the character's from the previous story make an appearance. It was nice easy read that gave a few laughs.

All in all, this was nice set that filled the time. I hope to see more of the Mysteria's population to see what happened to some of the character's lives.
