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.

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.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug  

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.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug  

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.

The cover art done by Katie Wood is gorgeous!

Reviewer: Stacey Krug  

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.
