Elvi’s life during the past five years
has sucked! Literally. She went on a trip to Mexico with her
best friend Mabel, got into a pretty nasty car accident and
woke up a vampire. Now, Elvi has to sleep in a coffin, which
is nowhere near as comfortable as her old king size bed. She
doesn’t have a reflection and worse yet – Elvi can’t eat
anything but blood! So far, though, Elvi has been doing
fine, thanks to Mabel’s help and all the townspeople helping
Elvi cope and survive. So, when they all get together in
order to find Elvi a vampire mate, they all end up with more
than they bargained for – especially Elvi!
Victor Argeneau has lived a long, long
time. Frankly, he has been a little bored with life until his
brother Lucien got him involved in the Vampire Council as an
Enforcer seeking out vampire rogues. Currently, he has been
sent to find out if the woman Elvi that has been subject to
some very disquieting rumors is indeed a vampire. Because if
Elvi is a vampire, Victor is going to have to turn her into
the Council for punishment, maybe even for execution, for
exposing the vampire community to mortals. But on arrival to
the small town of Port Henry, Victor finds the last thing he
expects – a clueless vampire that has been living according to
every cliché ever conceived about Vampires and his very own
lifemate.
Will Victor be able to save Elvi from the
wrath of the Council? And more importantly claim Elvi for his
very own?
The Accidental Vampire is a great
continuation to the Argeneau saga, this time bringing us the
story of Victor who has been morose and taciturn in previous
books. This time Victor is accompanied by the ever-cheerful
DJ who proves to be the comic to Victor’s straight man.
Victor is a charming character with his old-world charm and
his bafflement in the face of the workings of the female
mind. Elvi is a fun character as she quickly makes fun of
herself and her situation when she discovers that she can once
again enjoy the things she has been missing – like food, a bed
or mirrors. I must say this book had me laughing out loud
several times with the antics of Elvi and the townspeople that
have pulled together to keep her alive. Elvi and Victor are
great characters that will entertain you with their banter
while the secondary characters will amuse you with their witty
one-liners as well as a comic back-drop to the romance.
The Accidental Vampire is an extraordinarily funny
book full of interesting and charming characters that will
keep you glued to your seat and turning the pages! |
