      This was an enjoyable read.
    • 1/5
      This book was almost tortuous to finish. It was about 5 hours too long and full of nothing but annoying characters that I found it very hard to root for them. Marty is just too shallow for me and her actions are extremely inconsistent throughout the book. Keegan is supposed to be a bad-ass alpha male but his character lands with a dull thud. Marty’s two friends are written as such stereotypes you can’t even begin to like them. The two characters I liked were Sloane and Mara and they hardly in the book.

      I don’t usually mind language in the book but for some reason the curse words stuck out so much that it started to bother me. The story started interesting but I was already fed up with the main character 10 minutes into a 10 hour book. Ugh. I couldn’t get a real good feel for the mythology the author was creating around the werewolves.

      I just couldn’t really tell any of the characters apart from the narrator. All the males sounded the same and the voice of Keegan was not consistent.
    • 4/5
      Sassy, sexy, smart and funny. I loved these characters and hope to see more of them very soon.
    • 4/5
      Okay, this was a great start to a series. Funny, sweet and interesting.
      Can't wait to read about Nina and Wanda!
    • 5/5
      First in the accidentally series. This one has Marty taking her dog for a walk with two friends. She is inadvertently bitten by what she thinks is a large dog. A few days later a man comes along explaining that he was the dog and now she's a werewolf.

      In Cassidy’s paranormal romance novel, Marty Anderson was bitten by a mutt while walking her teacup poodle. Now her usually perfect blond hair is turning dark and someone wants her out of the way enough to kidnap her.Her only hope is one Keegan Flaherty who shows up on her doorstep with a wild tale that’s difficult for anyone to believe.This is a writer worth watching!
    • 4/5
      I was ready for another book in this series as soon as I finished the last page; absolutely did not see the end twist coming. Very enjoyable quick read.
    • 3/5
      A light, fun read, well-written for the genre. Although I wasn’t sure about the high-maintenance protagonist Marty, I was pleased to see her over-talkative, somewhat scatty personality develop over the course of the story. The council issue and Keegan’s relationship with them might have benefitted from fledging out a little more. Summer holiday entertainment.
    • 2/5
      Just pure fun. Some good points--werewolves would be hairy, right? So how often would a girl really need to shave her legs to keep it under control? Totally vacuous and absolutely pointless, but reading this isn't a bad way to kill a couple hours.
    • 4/5
      What I LOVED: The whole freaking cast of characters. Marty made me giggle, Keegan made me drool, Nina and Wanda were perfect friends, and his family (Sloane and Mira) were fantastic. This was just such a fun read.What I LIKED: I really liked that nobody was perfect. They all had flaws, issues, things to accept, and they all seemed to work through it. They did so in a way that was very real when dealing with family.What was So-So/Didn't Like: Not a darn thing. Ok maybe not enough Nina :) (she is my fav)Why I gave it a 4: Really it was nice to read a really funny, witty, cute story of boy meets girl, boy bites girl, boy turns girl into werewolf, and they all fall in love :) I would recommend this to any PNR lover that can handle the humor and lightness of a fun romance and also to any chick-lit lover who can handle the supernatural. It is well worth the read!

      My Thoughts...When I first started this book, I did not connect to Marty in anyway. I thought she was a little vacuous and her quest to climb the Bobbie Sue hierarchy of colour wheels didn’t strike me at all. But the more I read, the more I fell in love with Marty as a character.Marty is on her way to climbing the colour wheel hierarchy at door-to-door make-up sales company Bobbie Sue. She’s just landed the coveted role of lavender (so in her colour wheel) and has two new associates under her wing to train, albeit slightly uncooperative and lacking enthusiasm. But Marty won’t let this get the better of her and takes it all in her stride.That is until one night she attempts to rescue her dog Muffin from the teeth of a rather large dog. Keegan Flaherty turns up on her doorstep days later claiming he is in deed the dog that bit her and that she is too, like him, a werewolf.Marty refuses to believe that she’s become a werewolf, even if her hair has changed colour and she’s going through razors at a dime a dozen.It’s not until someone decides to throw her into the trunk of their car, and she comes to realize things are not quite all right does she turn to Keegan for help and realizes life is not what it used to be.The book actually opens up after the event and I was a little confused for a bit thinking I’d missed something completely. But all is explained a little later on through Marty’s recollection of the past weeks events.Final Thoughts…I don’t usually like my PNR mixed with comedy, it doesn’t sit well with me and it doesn’t always work. But Dakota Cassidy has managed to pull it through here. Though there were moments that I felt were a little cliché, I took it all with a pinch of salt. I was far too involved with the story to care.I definitely think this is a book I’d pick up again and read! In fact, as soon as I was done I ran out to buy the next in the series, Accidentally Dead and can’t wait to sink my teeth into it (no pun intended lol)If you like some light hearted PNR with a dash of comedy and contemporary romance then the Accidental Series might be right up your street. I urge you to grab a copy and give it a go! I dare you not to fall for Keegan, even if he is somewhat stubborn!
    • 3/5
      Not bad, but not memorable either. The book is pretty easy to get through, but the characters seem to fall a little flat. A book to put on the to-read list for those who like the paranormal chick-lit genre, but it probably wouldn't make it on a list of favorites.
    • 1/5
      The Accidental Werewolf by Dakota Cassidy was definately a different style read for me. Were do I begin? The main character has got to be the most immature 30 year old I have ever read about. She acts more like 16. I mean come on "Pinky Promise"? Really! I think the plot for the book was alright but my annoyance with the female lead character Marty made me roll my eyes and wonder why I was still reading this book. I had heard Dakota Cassidy was a good writer. Well if her other books are anything like this one, I won't be reading anymore of her works. I actually felt sorry for the lead male character. I had such pity for him that he had to somehow fall for Marty. Not my cup of tea I am afraid. I can't honestly recommend this one.

      Late one night Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics rep, Marty Andrews, is bit on the hand by what she thinks is a huge scruffy looking dog. A few days later she learns the truth… that was no dog. It was Keegan Flaherty in his were form and now Marty is a werewolf, too. In order to make the transition a little smoother for Marty, Keegan tries to convince her to stay with him and the rest of the pack but Marty stubbornly refuses to believe him. Then she gets knocked out and kidnapped and after escaping from the kidnappers Marty has no choice but to follow Keegan home while they try to figure out who is out to get her.Marty quickly learns Keegan is the head of the rival Pack Cosmetics and after sparks start to fly between them she also learns that Keegan is destined by the Lunar Council to mate with the skinny but beautiful Alana. Things just keep going down hill from there when she discovers who is behind the plan to get rid of her permanently. The book had a very slow start but I so love reading these “lighter” paranormals that I gave it a chance and kept reading. Once Marty finally accepted that she was a werewolf the story picked up and the rest of it was good enough to make up for the so-so beginning. There’s a little bit of humor, a little bit of suspense and a little bit of a hot romance that all come together in the end and I’m definitely going to give book two in the series a try. Hopefully Cassidy will pick up the pace and get to the meat of the story a little quicker. I recommend this one for fans of light paranormals like MaryJanice Davidson’s Queen Betsy series.
    • 5/5
      Right next to MaryJanice Davidson and Christopher Moore that are known for their humor in their stories, comes Dakota Cassidy's book that is well-written and full of humor. In the book we meet Marty, who is a Bobbie-Sue sales rep and very into her color wheels. Well, one night her color wheels are thrown off their axis when she is bit by what she thinks is a mangy mutt. After noticing some strange changes, Keegan shows up at her door, trying to tell her that he bit her and that she is now a werewolf. Marty is a smart girl, witty and can be a pain in the ass. Keegan, although patient with her, helps her through her transition along with trying to figure out who is behind the kidnappings. And we come to laugh at Marty, as she pokes fun at her 'somewhat' tail that she seems to grow when she gets mad, especially when it comes to her friend, Nina and of course, the happenings at Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics!This book will make you roll on the floor laughing, with all of the quips and quirks of Marty and the craziness that is going on in her life. Dakota Cassidy has here a funny, sweet and sexy love story.
    • 4/5
      When Mary Kay-esque cosmetic saleswoman Marty Andrews gets accidentally bitten by a huge dog, her lovely, goal-oriented, color-wheel-organized life takes a turn for the dramatic. From celebrating making lavender suit level in Bobby Sue Cosmetics, the staunch vegan starts craving steak -- rare & bloody, and to make matters worse, she's losing her bubbly, happy, perky sales-sales-sales personality! Of course, who could blame her, what with having to shave her legs twice a day, and her professionally streaked and highlighted blond hair suddenly turning mud brown! When huge and hunky Keegan Flaherty appears on her doorstep claiming that he's the "dog" that bit her, and she's now a werewolf, Marty's state of denial is epic. Unfortunately, he's not about to go away.A bubble-gum read, but not in a bad way. Marty's character is reminiscent in Katie MacAlistar's Aisling Grey or MaryJanice Davidson's Fred the Mermaid.
