The Accidental Vampire

I liked the idea of accidentally becoming a vampire. But how could that happen? Wouldn't you know if you had been turned? So I was intrigued before I even started reading. I didn't find out right away, the story slowly worked to that fact.

While I was waiting to see how it all came about, I got involved in the rest of the story. I liked how the town rallied around Elvi and were trying to look out for her. I loved the close knit community and it fit the plot nicely. But my favorite thing in this series is the humor. I love it. It is nice to read something for pure entertainment factor even if it is a bit cheesy at times.

On to book 7. By the way, you do not have to read these in order. I just decided that I wanted to once I had already show more read a half dozen or so in the series. show less

When Victor Argeneau is sent to investigate a rumor of a young vampire woman claiming to be wanting a lifemate. As cover he is part of a group of other vampires answering the ad in the paper. However he never thought that he would find his actual lifemate on a mission he council sent him on. Elvi, after being turned a vampire and not remembering how it happened, has little knowledge about it. But when she finds out that her closest friend put a ad in the paper and that there is a group of vampire men out for her hand, so is at a loss, until she meets up with Victor, whom she is drawn to more than any other. She finds out things about herself that she never knew before. Victor having met the beautiful and enticing Elvi, just wants to show more protect her more from the council than anything. After hearing that she has bitten mortals, and that the whole town seems to know of her true identity, he knows that she maybe be sentenced to die, especially with Lucian at the helm. What he didn't expect was to fall in love with her and hopes that he can find a way to save her life.

I have just loved reading this series, and as I haven't read Victor's story, I was happy that I finally got around to it. It was such a fun one to read, with pure wit. I just loved the story line and the characters within this story. Like all of Sands stories and especially this series, they are fun and full of romance and great plots. The Accidental Vampire comes out on top for one of her best stories. Elvi is beautiful, smart, and caring, and has no idea how to really be a vampire. But as Victor shows her the ropes and the rules, she finds herself falling in love with him, which she never expected, but had hoped for. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and flipping the pages as fast as I could read them. Definitely leaves her reader yearning for more romances like this one. show less

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of laughs and moved nicely along. Will go back and start reading this series from book 2. Have read the first book but it didn't inspire to get moving along to read the rest of them.

I'm pretty sure I bought a copy of this but this review is based on me reading a copy from the library. I loved it, the characters were a lot of fun and the relationship Ellie/Elvi had with the town she lived in was so much fun.

Elvi came back from her holiday to Mexico a changed woman, well actually a vampire, with no idea how this vampirism worked and a lot of locals willing to try to help. They even go so far as to publish an ad looking for a vampire as a romantic partner for her. This ad has the local head of vampires send out his enforcer to deal with her in whatever way he sees fit, she is after all breaking the laws and what's more, the punishment for that is death.

Along with Victor Argeneau there are a few more vampires coming to show more visit and life in this small town is about to change.

I really liked the story, the characters came across as great fun and quite interesting. I'd read it again. The scenes where she found out she could eat and she could sleep in a read bed were comedy gold. show less

This story was not quite as good as the others I have read but still enjoyable. It had a few laughs in it. Ellen Stone (Elvi Black) is an accidental vampire, she was turned when she received blood from a vampire accidently when they were injured in a car accident so she woke up knowing nothing. Her best friends Mabel and Teddy are looking out for her and are trying to find her a vampire companion. Mabel goes as far as putting an ad in the paper which brings her to the attention of The Vampire Council who send Victor Argeneau to find out what is happening. He finds he can't read her which means she is his lifemate. He just has to convince Elvi of that and hope that the competition goes away.

I do like how fast I read these Argeneau books, I start them, and then I just continue until I am finished. A fast, good book.

It's book 7, but this is a series that you can jump around a bit in. Still book 1 explains the nano thing fully, sure it is explained here too so if you want to, then jump right in and read this one. The book also has a map of all the members in this big family, and this is good.

How on earth Elvi was not noticed before I do not know. Small towns I guess. Yes she is the resident vampire, now that is a nice little town I would like to visit where they are so nice against the undead who craves blood. And this is one of the fun things about this book. Elvi does not know anything about vampires. She thinks they are show more soulless, likes coffins and all those myths we all know so well. But these vampires are not really vampires and she will learn her lesson. She was nice, because she was so lost when it came to all of this.

Then we got the hero, Victor, who is old as dirt and comes to town as he is an enforces and Elvi, well she is breaking a lot of laws. But there will be passion, other suitors and someone else in this book will find love too. A story I really liked.

Conclusion:
Fun and light is the word. A nice lovestory about how an accidental vampire finds love. show less

I found this book to be an easy, hilarious read. A good vacation book when you just want a little laugh with a little bit of suspense, romance and otherworld experience.
