Book Review: The Accidental Werewolf

I picked this book up on the recommendation of a friend and I'm soooo glad I did! I'm not sure if I would have gone for the Mary-Kay-like main character being turned into a werewolf, but I would have seriously missed out!

Marty Andrews wants to be a top Bobbie Sue girl more than anything!  She's worked so hard and knows her Color Wheel inside-out and backwards (though she'd never treat her colors that way!). But an unpleasant yet highly attractive cog has just been thrown into her wheel.  She's not a Spring anymore... no, she's an Autumn. And so would the crazy man, Keegan Flaherty, sitting across from her telling her she's now a werewolf.

Dakota Cassidy does an excellent job and pulling you along Marty's story, watching her grow and change yet never losing the essence of her personality.  I enjoyed seeing how Marty lived a glossed over life (no pun intended) and then slowly reveals her real desires, the things she really wishes for.  You also can't help but want to eat up the delectable Keegan.  There were a plethora of good characters in this story and it would be great to see the world continue. If not, then it is a wonderful ride, completely worth the read. 

I was only on chapter 3 when I picked it up this evening... and now I'm done with it! What does that tell you?  I don't lose sleep over just anything!  I laughed out loud, giggled, squeed and could not get enough of this book. 

Ok. I'm cutting you off.  Now you must all go read it!!

Of course! You're always welcome to my 'library'... but I'm seriously going to need to set-up like a check-out list b/c I'm losing track!! :) What I really want is to get the actual library kit with the stamp and cards like they used to have in elementary school. :) I have enough books...

Library Cards

It would be too hard to make your own with index cards and a date stamp. Have the lendees sign the card and you should be good from there.

Re: Library Cards

if you get them from Barnes and Noble and you want an extra discount, give them my cell phone number to look up my preferred member card.

actually, you should prolly get a hold of it first. My TBR pile (which apparently I need to post still) is ginormous. Oh, and I have a copy of Rachel Vincent's Rogue to give to you.... Have you read Stray??
