Praise for
My Way to Hell
This amusing urban fantasy romance brings together a lead pair that fans of the saga will appreciate... Fans will enjoy that Marcella is back burning tamales and peanut butter as only a retired sexagenarian former demon could when she becomes a not so average woman in love.
Genre Go Round Reviews
A hysterically touching sequel... Marcella is the kind of protagonist who gets readers rooting and keeping their fingers crossed for the next book... A quick page-turner for even a novice to Cassidys fast-paced fiction.
Fresh Fiction
Kiss & Hell
A fun, lighthearted paranormal romance that will keep readers entertained. Ms. Cassidy fills the pages of her book with nonstop banter, ghostly activity, and steamy romance.
Darque Reviews
Delaney, with her amusing sarcastic asides, makes for an entertaining romantic fantasy with a wonderful mystery subplot... Readers will relish this lighthearted jocular frolic.
Genre Go Round Reviews
Cassidy has created a hilarious lead in Delaney Markham. Readers will run through all types of emotions while enjoying laugh-out-loud moments, desperate passion, wacky and fun characters, pop-culture references, and one intense mystery. The books charm is apparent from the first page, but the twisted mystery tangled throughout will keep the pages turning.
Romantic Times
The Accidental Human
I highly enjoyed every moment of Dakota Cassidys The Accidental Human ... A paranormal romance with a strong dose of humor.
Errant Dreams
A delightful, at times droll, contemporary tale starring a decidedly human heroine... Dakota Cassidy provides a fitting, twisted ending to this amusingly warm urban romantic fantasy.
Genre Go Round Reviews
The final member of Cassidys trio of decidedly offbeat friends faces her toughest challenge, but that doesnt mean there isnt humor to spare! With emotion, laughter, and some pathos, Cassidy serves up another winner!
Romantic Times
Accidentally Dead
A laugh-out-loud follow-up to The Accidental Werewolf , and its a winner... Ms. Cassidy is an up-and-comer in the world of paranormal romance.
Fresh Fiction
An enjoyable, humorous satire that takes a bite out of the vampire romance subgenre... Fans will appreciate the nonstop hilarity.
Genre Go Round Reviews
The Accidental Werewolf
Cassidy, a prolific author of erotica, has ventured into MaryJanice Davidson territory with a humorous, sexy tale.
Booklist
If Bridget Jones became a lycanthrope, she might be Marty. Fun and flirty humor is cleverly interspersed with dramatic mystery and action. Its hard to know which character to love best, though: Keegan or Muffin, the toy poodle that steals more than one scene.
The Eternal Night
A riot! Martys internal dialogue will have you howling, and her antics will keep the laughs coming. If you love paranormal with a comedic twist, youll love this book. Romance Junkies
A lighthearted romp... [An] entertaining tale with an alpha twist.
Midwest Book Review

Serious, laugh-out-loud humor with heart, the kind of love story that leaves you rooting for the heroine, sighing for the hero, and looking for your own significant other at the same time.
Kate Douglas
Expect great things from Cassidy.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
For the Rainbow Diner back in Pleasantville, New Jersey. You have no idea what a haven your diner became for me when nothing else was open and I needed to escape the fears of my pending single parenthood. I couldnt afford more than one cup of coffee, but no one ever balked because I didnt order food, and you kept my cup filled. Thank you for allowing me to keep my dignity when I was nose to nose with the bottom of the barrel.
And to Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives fame. Dude, your show was invaluable in my research. With diners pretty few and far between in Texas, and never having been in the kitchen of one back at my old stomping grounds in New Jersey, I needed some insider info, and your show was a ginormous help to me. Plus, youre kinda funny, but seriously, walk away from the spice jokes. The Ginger/Mary Ann reference is pushing some comedic boundaries. No. I kid. Because I love. Really. Also, Tyler Florence, who tweets the most amazing cooking information almost like he knows, by some weird osmosis, just when I need it. Youre the ultimate personable, fan-friendly celebrity chef.
