Blurb/Summary:

Who doesn’t love a good swap meet? You find tons of great stuff you don’t need, but hey, sometimes someone else’s trash just speaks to you, amiright?

Some things a little louder than others…

As in, some things actually “speak.”

Dominique Acosta should know. One minute she’s just living her life, spending time with her grandpa in his memory care facility, and the next thing, everyone’s questioning her mental health after she starts shouting “THOR!” uncontrollably, without warning—in a drugstore.

All thanks to a talking hammer she spotted at a swap meet.

Which then showed up in her kitchen…

So who do you turn to when you now own a talking hammer and you can’t stop randomly screaming the name of a Norse God everywhere you go? OOPS, of course! And Nina, Wanda and Marty come running.

And hot on their heels?

Harvey Larsen—huge, handsome, and apparently, the hammer’s babysitter. Oh, and he’s also Thor’s son? Yes. That Thor. (More on that particular god’s prolific baby-making abilities later.)

Apparently, Dom’s been chosen to protect Midgard (Earth to mere mortals) and rule Asgard. As it happens, she’s the only person on the planet who can pick the hammer up. Lucky her…

But the hammer’s hot property, and everyone wants to get their paws on it. So Harvey and the girls from OOPS will have to train this reluctant warrior how to wield such a powerful weapon quickly, if she stands any chance of getting out of this alive…

And saving the entire world…

Review:

Loved the creative license Dakota Cassidy took with Thor and Asgard. The OOPS ladies were in top form in this installment. I also enjoyed seeing characters brought in from past stories. It solidifies the notion of Framily that the OOPS women have created with their altruism. Not sure how they have time for their own families with all the volunteering they do. Would love to see a “week in the life” of these women. Do they ever sleep? 

Dominique Acosta is adorable and devoted to her grandfather. She is all things good and protective. Dominique is worthy of wielding Thor’s hammer and so much more. Dominique and Harvey Larsen, Thor’s son, make a cute couple. Harvey has issues with his parental figure and a side of drama. 

As with past Accidentals the OOPS ladies rally with all their might and Harvey is swept up in the commotion and preparations. Harvey helps Dominique become the warrior that Asgard needs and in doing so discovers things about himself. 

I laughed out loud and enjoyed the story immensely!

Blurb/Summary:

Wanda Jefferson, vampire/werewolf hybrid and (very) reluctant temporary PTA president, reporting for duty!

Yes, yes, yes. I’m a PTA member. Don’t be so shocked. I’d do anything for my two precious babies, Olivia and Sam, including whip up batches of cupcakes late into the night for their annual bake sale at the Paranormal School for the Gifted. And if I have to endure the most insufferable, controlling, bossy-pants PTA president in all of existence who goes by the name Neerie Lincoln-- so be it.

Except today, Neerie’s a no-show, leaving me in charge of the event. Inconceivable! The domineering little fae would never willingly miss the school’s biggest fundraising event. Who else will properly ensure sweet and savory treats never grace the same table?

Neerie’s sister claims she’s been missing for two days. When she begs me and my besties, Nina and Marty, to put our fledgling detective skills to work to find her, we’re reluctant. I mean, there’s no love lost for the PTA president. However, she’s left behind a little girl who misses her mommy something fierce—and THAT we can’t ignore.

Of course, Neerie has also left a recently disgruntled ex, a loser baby-daddy, and a long line of horribly mistreated people in her wake.

Read: the suspect list is sizeable. Any one of a dozen people have reason to want to un-alive the crazy fairy, up to and including the school janitor.

Oh…and have we mentioned Neerie’s absolutely obsessed with conspiracy theories? And the human groups devoted to them?

Yep. The suspect pool just got a whole lot bigger.

Diving headlong into Neerie’s crazy world of nutball conspiracies, Nina, Marty and I thought we’d seen every form of weird during our various Accidental adventures.

We were SO wrong…

Review:

Be A Detective, They Said. It’ll Be Fun, They Said the third book in The Accidental Detectives series is from Wanda Jefferson’s POV. Wanda’s children Olivia, Sam, and Heath, her husband, have more of a presence in this book.

The OOPs ladies are improving their investigative skills and using outside sources wisely. Their investigation leads them to several wild conspiracy theories. Book three takes on a couple plot twists I was not expecting making for a fun read.

The third book in The Accidental Detectives has great characters and framily make coming back to this world extremely enjoyable. The story has as much action as the previous books and was engaging. As a reader, I’m interested to see if those plot twists will end up in future books.

Blurb/Summary:

Marty Flaherty here: Half human, half werewolf, aaall girl and proud of it.

First, let me say, we’re not exactly great at this detective gig. Sherlock Holmes wouldn’t be out of a job because we’re on the scene.

But while In the midst of trying to choose our next case to solve and learning from the mistakes we made with our last investigation, my fifteen-year-old daughter Hollis makes a plea we can’t turn our backs on.
Her best friend, Charmaine Ellis needs our help.

Charmaine's father’s been accused of murdering their house manager’s daughter. Ronald Ellis, guardian of everything werewolf, overseer of ancient were artifacts, is accused of killing Zinnia Hutchins.
A sweet, thoughtful young woman who grew up in the Ellis household—a young woman Ronald once considered a daughter.

The madness in all of this?

He fully admits he’s whodunnit!

That’s right, he makes no bones about the fact that he’s the killer. Loud and proud, Ronald confesses to killing a beautiful young woman. The catch? He can’t remember a single thing about the morning he allegedly murdered Zinnia.
Due to the archaic inefficiency of the were council police, and their deep desire to keep all matters werewolf deeply hidden from the human world, Ronald asks us to help him investigate what happened that morning, even if it means he truly did murder a woman he considered family.

So we jump in both feet and this time, with a hefty list of suspects on our side, but as we dig deeper we find secrets none of us expected, proving murder in the paranormal world is a tricky game of cat and mouse!

Review:

I love that each book in this new series is from a different POV. Book 2 is from Marty Flaherty’s POV and has much to do with the were society. Readers are treated to a teenage Hollis, Marty’s daughter, and we get to see the relationships that have been built over time. Hollis has two aunties that love her like their own. It is apparent that those bonds were forged over time and experiences. Hollis doesn’t hesitate to ask for help for her friend.

The suspected murderer and victim are part of the were community, so we get more insight on their workings. They have some crazy artifacts that should not fall into the wrong hands. Book two is straight forward with some obvious and a couple not so obvious plot twists. It’s also a fairly clean read because Nina is not the protagonist.

Tell Me It’s Murder Without Telling Me It’s Murder has great characters and is a fun read.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug 

Blurb/Summary:

 Welcome to my worst effin’ nightmare—The Accidental Detective Agency…

I’m Nina Statleon, a vampire (with a little bit of witch thrown in for good measure—a sucky, magic less one), for those interested. My best friends, Marty, a werewolf and and Wanda, a halfsie, have talked me into opening a detective agency for paranormals.

Let me be real clear, I do not want to be a detective and I think this idea is bananapants. Now the dungeon in my castle in Long Island is our new office, I call the murder basement, filled with watercolor landscapes, throw rugs and uncomfortable furniture—all in the name of making our clients comfortable.

That said, my partners in this new adventure don’t care about all my protests. That’s how we end up with our first client, Brenda Bronkowski, an older vampire the human police are hunting down for murder…

Brenda fell for one of the oldest tricks in this new age of technology’s book—a romance scam. Lonely and sad with only her pets for companionship, Brenda hooked up—with a human—a much younger one. You guessed it, Brenda was catfished.

Now that much younger human, Owen Barker, is dead, leaving behind a wife and two kids. Brenda swears she’s never even met him, let alone murdered him and she’s come to us for help finding the person responsible for his murder.

Not only is the suspect list low (like, we only have two), there’s a glitch, and it’s a big one.

The clan.

They don’t like it when a vampire’s been accused of murdering a human. They take you out, ask questions later. Brenda’s technically a fugitive we’re harboring while we investigate. It’s bad enough the human police like her for Owen's murder, but if the clan finds out we’ve got her holed up in the murder basement, it won’t only be curtains for Brenda, our little private investigating gig could be over before it’s really begun.

Which wouldn’t exactly be the end of the world for me, but my overachieving BFFs would never let me hear the end of it. That means, we need to solve this pronto, so we can get the clan off our backs, but more importantly, so Brenda doesn’t end up expunged...

Review:

Great debut novel in a spin off series from the Accidentals. I loved that it was written in Nina’s point of view but had all the OOPs ladies. This new series is also a fantastic way to bring in previous OOPs clients to help solve the mystery, and let readers see how they have progressed in their new paranormal lives.

Although this is the first book in a spin off series, you do not have to have read the previous series. Nina, Wanda, and Marty have a strong relationship already established in this first book based on their previous experiences. If you want to see how those bonds were formed, then check out the Accidental Series. If not, then just enjoy this book. They are still managing to get into major scrapes even after all this time.

This new series was set up a little in the last Accidental book. We knew it was coming, and it did not disappoint. The Accidental Detectives: It’s Called Murder, Benda. Look It Up has great characters, some old and some new, a fast-moving plot with action, and can be read in one sitting or savored.

I enjoyed the new twist on what and how the ladies will be interacting in their world going forward. Great first book!

Blurb/Summary:

Who knew a silly game of Twister would turn into this?

After a spirited game of Twister with her fellow apartment mates, wherein the absence of the cardboard "spinny thing” forces them to use an old planchette from a Ouija board as a replacement, Roberta Tisdale’s left hand can, among other fun stuff, set things on fire—namely, her hair.

And right after meeting her, Nina’s hair, too.

Imagine how that conversation goes...

Just when Robbie was adjusting to her new life after turning her back on her wealthy family and their evil machinations, this happens, but she throws her whole body into this crazy magic she's happened upon, learning how to cast spells without taking out an entire country, and getting acquainted with her new ride, a talking broom named, Hervé (yep. Like the guy on Fantasy Island). All this in the hopes she can become a part of a community who’ll welcome her—a place where she can belong...

Greer Winthrop, a former male witch who’s lost his powers and placed a self-imposed isolation from his coven on himself, has an ugly past and an even uglier secret he’s carried with him for five years. Five painful years. When he gets wind of the scent of his dead grandmother’s magic, now lodged in Robbie’s hand, he’s all about teaching her how to use it while he waits to hear from his coven for advice.

Except, he never hears from his coven and he can’t figure out how his grandmother’s power is still floating around the universe when she’s supposed to be dead… Her magic should have died with her. Now, he’s got a fledgling witch on his hands with some mighty hefty power in her possession—power an insidious monster of a witch once owned. With his powers gone, Greer can only take Robbie so far without the help of his fellow witches.

But how can you do that when your coven members have literally disappeared and you can’t find them—anywhere?

As Robbie and Greer embark on her witch journey, and they find themselves fighting an undeniable attraction—an insidious evil lurks.

And that evil wants Robbie’s magic—no matter the cost!

Review:

Thoroughly enjoyed the non-stop action and the wonderful characters in The Accidental Witch. We get to meet Roberta (Robbie) Tisdale after she is turned into a witch. I don’t think that’s giving anything away considering the title. Robbie has had a rough go of it lately and a horrid family life. She is struggling but persevering in the face of adversity.

Greer Winthrop has had his own struggles and devastating grief to deal with. However, he drops everything to help Robbie transition to this new phase of her life while also helping to protect her.

In true Accidentals fashion, Robbie and Greer grow close as they help each other through this incident. Of course, the OOPs ladies are there every step of the way with their entire entourage. We also get to meet some new characters that hopefully will feature in the upcoming spinoff series, The Accidental Detectives.

The Accidental Witch is a fantastic addition to the series and an uplifting story.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

Raphaela Tucci, Ralph to those who know and love her, beloved former first-grade teacher, newly minted bookstore owner, and ever the optimist is dead…

Dead.

Not only is she dead, she’s a ghost. Like, bonafide see-through, floating, boo screeching ghost.

It’s hard to be optimistic when your life tragically ends the moment you begin to live your dream. But Ralph tries anyway, even as she finds herself stuck in Nina’s big castle—on Long Island, no less.

Ralph doesn’t know how she ended up where she landed, but after a week of floating silently unseen through room after room, watching these kooky but loveable women live their lives, she doesn’t understand why her destiny isn’t even close to what she’s read in books and seen in movies.

Maybe there really isn’t an upstairs after all?

Enter Shamus Ransom, the biggest (hottest) silver-fox elf (whaaat?) she’s ever seen with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. He’s been hired by Nina to eliminate the funny smell the vampire's positive is a ghost haunting her castle.

What he finds is a beautiful, completely stuck ghost with a heart of gold and an optimistic outlook he’s never seen in an entity.

Shamus’s job already isn’t an easy one, but as he tries to find out why Ralph is stuck and categorize what type of ghost she is, he also finds himself falling in deep like with her. Getting involved is absolutely out of the question. Theirs would be far more than a long distance romance. To even consider it was ludicrous, right?

But as Shamus and the women of OOPS try and figure out what happened to Ralph on the night she was killed and why she’s cemented on this plane, there are dangerous entities gunning for Ralph and they won’t stop until she’s locked away in Hell—forever...

Review:

It took longer than usual to finish reading The Accidental Ghost. I had to keep stopping because I was crying too hard to see. This story brings out all the emotions!

The characters are amazing. I loved Raphaela Tucci and Shamus Ransom. We get to see and hear about some different paranormal beings and their powers. The OOPs ladies are all in attendance on this mystery and much of the story takes place in Nina’s castle.

Loved the plot, action, plot twists, suspense, and the ending. The Accidental Ghost is a fun story and a fantastic addition to the series.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

“Did you ever think you’d meet a bigger, foul-tempered potty mouth than Nina? Well, folks, meet Primrose Dunham.

It’s Christmas and as the OOPs gang prepares for the holidays another “accident” finds its way to their doorstep. That accident turns out to be angry, foul-mouthed, rude and, well…
Just like Nina.
Primrose Dunham has been accidentally turned into a fairy. As if she wasn’t already angry enough with the world, now she has sporadic powers she can’t control, pointy ears, and a weird hump on her back that everyone keeps calling a “wing.”
If that’s not enough of a shock, a vampire, a werewolf and a halfsie come to her “rescue”…whether she wants them to help or not.
Oh, and the man she’s been trying to avoid—the “the literal boy next door and her one-time bestie, Rafferty Monroe—gets turned as well, thanks to Primrose!
It’ll take more than a Christmas miracle to thaw Prim’s frosty attitude, protect her from her sinister stepfather, and figure out why there’s a price on her head in the fairy world. But it’s nothing the OOPs ladies—along with assorted paranormal friends and framily—can’t handle.
Right?

Review:

The one thing that stood out to me in this book was that hurt people, hurt people. Prim has survived several traumas and is still standing, but she’s been bruised and battered. She has learned to shut people out and in doing so her people skills are lacking. She rivals Nina for the worst potty mouth award.

Rafferty has loved Prim since grade school. He has tried to keep the lines of communication open but has suffered his own trauma. The difference between Prim and Rafferty is that Rafferty doesn’t try and hurt people. He is loving and welcoming.

These two characters balance each other out. Turning into a fairy accidentally adds another layer of stress to their lives. However, the OOPs team is on the job to help them get through it. The Accidental Fairy has a fast-paced plot, action, romance, and framily. In true OOPs framily fashion, they rally around Prim and Rafferty to support them even after the major incidents have passed.

The Accidental Fairy has great plot twists that kept me engaged. This is a wonderful story of self-preservation, perseverance, and learning to accept help. Their journey is a fantastic addition to The Accidentals series. I hope we get to visit The Hollow again.

Blurb/Summary:

A stranded human and his lifelong skepticism walk into a paranormal bar…

Sounds like the start of a bad gag, but the joke’s on Kash Samuels when he stumbles into a bar called NOPE, looking for warmth and a working phone, only to get caught in the middle of a bar fight. Next thing you know, he’s got weird…appendages…popping up all over the place…a fin here, a lock of pink hair there, a mangy tail somewhere else…

Maybe he actually fell asleep in his car and the exhaust fumes made him loco. It’s the only way to explain the insanity that ensues when he finds himself surrounded by a group of stunning ladies claiming to be paranormal beings, along with their entourage of demon, zombie, and troll butler/chef. And let’s not even discuss the line around the block of other supernatural species, each hoping to claim Kash as their own…

Oh, and one totally crush-worthy human scientist. A woman Kash is falling for more every day. Too bad she’s keeping him at arm’s length—and in the dark about her own health, even as she works day and night to help Kash control his wonky body.

Yep, life sure has taken a turn. For Kash, who’s always wanted a family after growing up in the system, just him and his brother against the world, this kind and crazy group may not be the family he envisioned…but they’re the family you need when you’re Accidental AF!

Review:

I loved this story so much. The Accidentals Series never disappoints, and Accidental AF knocked it out of the park. This is a story in a long series and there is some background, but I appreciated that the story was mostly filled with non-stop action and discovery. If you are new to the series, this story will give you an overview of who and what the OOPS ladies are all about and have you wanting to read the previous stories.

Kash Samuels and Dr. Scotia McNealy (Scotty) are brand new characters to the series. Kash is the accidental in this story as he was changed during a bar fight. Scotty is the expert doctor in paranormal science even though she’s a human. Their journey to help Kash brings them closer together. Childhood trauma and neglect are shared and even Nina can relate. Kash and Scotty have a slow burn, high chemistry relationship that continues to develop throughout the story.

If you love a good paranormal romance with mystery, action, and humor then check out Accidental AF. I was laughing aloud within the first chapter. Dakota Cassidy addresses many real-life issues and melds them into a paranormal landscape with humor. Accidental AF has a little of everything and a whole lot of love.

I highly recommend this book.

Blurb/Summary:

As a one-time OOPs employee, Ingrid Lawson has seen plenty of paranormal accidents. But witnessing and experiencing are two different things, and she’s perfectly fine being a plain ol’ human. So when her ex-boss Nina schleps her around to estate sales, where she purchases two of the butt-ugliest gargoyles in existence to decorate her hedge maze…what happens next is stone-cold cuckoo.

Suddenly, Ingrid’s beloved career as an animal therapist is on hold as Nina, Wanda, Marty and the OOPs gang help her navigate a rocky new life as a nocturnal paranormal with big horns, bigger ears, and an aversion to sunlight. Oh, and there’s the inconvenient matter of attraction to the man who turned her…who’s so familiar… And did we mention the screeching harpies hellbent on getting their hands on her?

It’s all hands on deck to keep Ingrid alive until the danger passes, but throw in an old enemy they never saw coming, and her case just may be the hardest yet!

***Author Note: This is an Accidental Quickie and shorter in length than prior novels in the series.***

Review:

The Accidental Gargoyle is book 21 in the Accidentally Paranormal Series. It’s cute, quirky, and packed full of non-stop action. This is a short novella and without giving away the whole plot, I’ll say that Ingrid and Griff are polar opposites that come together to make a great couple. The dire circumstances with which they both must face, the supportive OOPs family, and all their rescue pets make for a very enjoyable and exciting journey. As with each book in the Accidental Series the family of characters has grown and the community rallies together. This is an adventure not to be missed in this series.

If this is your first time picking up a book in the Accidentally Paranormal Series then know that there will be a lot of characters that play a part in this story, but each have had their own stories. The main characters Ingrid and Griff are forging a relationship in this tale, so it’s okay to jump into the series as long as you don’t mind missing background on the other characters. Dakota Cassidy does a great job of giving new readers just enough information to keep the story moving and entice readers to try previous books.

Blurb/Summary:

At a fateful New Year’s Eve party, Georgina Maverick, a little bit drunk, a lot mired in guilt from her tortured past, trips and falls off a rooftop, tumbling ten stories to her almost death.

Little does George know, her friend and co-worker, Dexter Bridger, the man she discovers also happens to be her guardian angel, is on the case. He saves her from landing toe up in the mortuary, but he opens an entire can of worms when he nicks her shoulder and turns George into an angel, too.

With the help of the OOPS ladies and some divine intervention from Dex, George is learning how to be a guardian angel in the hope she can earn her permanent wings. But it ain’t easy when your newbie wings are strap-on (you read that right), and your angelic glow nearly fries the eyeballs right out of the head of your new cranky, vampire friend.

But worse? All the secrets that haunt both George and Dex are coming home to roost.

For instance, how did Dex become a guardian angel anyway, and why doesn’t he have his permanent wings after all this time? And for the love of all that’s good looking, why is he so stupid cute? How can a girl focus on getting it together with that kind of distraction?

Yet for George, the questions cut far deeper. Why is it so hard to overcome her brutal past and find the thing she’s always wanted—peace of mind and acceptance? And how the heck is she supposed to be someone’s guardian angel and guide them to emotional safety when her own life is such a wreck?

Worst of all? Who’s been lurking in the shadows trying to steal George’s wings? Because if someone gets their hands on her wings, guess what?

She loses her soul.

Forever…

Review:

Accidentally Divine book 20 of the Accidental Series was a complete page turner. Our hero, Dexter Bridger, and heroine, Georgina Maverick, are brought to life on the pages with real life hard-hitting problems and issues. They have both experienced past traumas that have shaped the people/angels they have become.

The OOPs ladies, Nina, Marty, Wanda, and crew play a crucial role just by being who they are as a family. They pull together and rally around another accidental turning and make some great friends along the way.

This was a fun and heartfelt story that had me laughing and crying. Don’t miss out on Dexter and Georgina’s journey. I will be looking forward to seeing how Dakota Cassidy uses her angels in future books.
