PRAISE FOR
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, thoughKeegan 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

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.

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

In honor of Katie Wood, who creates the most fabulous covers that, even in this authors wildest dreams, are more than I could have ever hoped for. I dont know how I got so damned lucky, but Im all kinds of grateful for your genius.You, my friend, rocketh!

Also to Terri, who came up with a pearl of pure funny now contained within these pages. To Kate Pearce, who was a huge help with my Britishisms.

And, as always, this is with love and gratitude to the love of my life, Rob, my family, and especially to my father, Robert. I really miss you, Dad.

Huge thanks to the League of Reluctant Adults for more ROFLMAO moments than a marathon of Last Comic Standing .

And to the fans, bloggers, and booksellersyour emails, your support, your Facebook posts, your tweets, your hard work, and your devotion to this series are a joy to experience.

To my petsevery last seven of you. Thank you for having more health afflictions than War and Peace has pages. Those very health issues, and the 2,002 trips to the vet, came in very handy when writing about medical procedures and prescriptions. I love you each because of, and in spite of, your incontinence, hyperthyroidism, one-eyed-ness, un-potty-trainable-ness, diabetes, enlarged heart, blind-and-suddenly-deaf-only-vhen-its-time-to-get-in-your-crate-edness. My nights just wouldnt be the same if I didnt have to sleep on a mere two inches of mattress in a king-sized bed while I burrow beside your beastly, stanky goodness. Truly, I adore you.

Last, but most certainly not least, to Nat in Canada (where some serious readers rule!). Seriously, dude, how could I have ever written a book without the word homeslice in it? Thanks for putting me back on the path of the righteousyou aiiight.
