The Accidental Vampire (Argeneau Vampire Book 7)
I’ll admit that my reviews on this series may not be in the proper reading order (woops!). This is book 7 in the series. To be honest, while it is *best* to read this books in order, (references about past couples and events appear throughout each new novel), these are easily read and understood as stand alone books. How vampires are created is explained in each installation, how a “lifemate” is discovered, and the cast of characters in each book are described (in reference to the Argeneau family).

Book Review – Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
Vampire Academy
I must admit, I am completely mesmerized by this series. Absolutely, captivated. I tried to fool myself into thinking that since these were considered “Young Adult” (and I am… not so much…), that perhaps I might not find myself enjoying these as much, but I was wrong – dead wrong!
There may not be “adult content” per se, but the passion, intensity and emotional connections have ensnared me to no end. What I love is that there are many characters, all very vital to the progression of the tale, but each one is special, and highly likable.
Book Review – Wicked Game by Jeri Smith-Ready
Wicked Game (Wvmp Radio; [1])
I purchased this book at the RT Convention book fair, (after learning about it from the author who was on the “The Good, The Bad and the Paranormal: Heroines Kicking-Ass Across Urban Fantasy Worlds” panel). It sounded really great, and she had a 2nd book in the series that was going to be released shortly (it is actually out now, so I will be reading that one soon – “Bad to the Bone”).
I just finished it yesterday, and found it extremely entertaining. There were many “chuckle-worthy” moments.
Book Review – Undead and Unemployed by Mary Janice Davidson
Undead and Unemployed
The 2nd and 3rd installments of this series have been my favorite so far, and I believe it is due to the romantic tension between Betsy and Eric. Despite being furiously angry at Eric for “tricking” her into becoming his “wife” (as per vampire law), and ruling by her side as king to her queen, she can’t deny her attraction to him. While she does her best to snub him, and combat his every move, she finds herself unable to resist and ends up tangled with him in the most intimate situations.
Book Review – Undead and Unwed by Mary Janice Davidson
I am absolutely LOVING this series. I wasn’t certain I was in the mood for a silly fun female vampire series, but it is suiting me nicely! We’ve got laugh out loud moments, a nice romantic conflict, a sexy strong Vampire king, and some danger that never gets too intense.
This particular book looks into the life of the “newly” made Vampire “Betsy” (real name Elizabeth Taylor), who doesn’t think her “undead” status should change her life from how she used to live it.
