The Accidental Vampire was an excellent read.
Five years ago sixty-something Elvi found herself turned into a vampire after a tourist bus accident. She was on vacation in Mexico, one that she was unsure she should take but the entire town encouraged her to go on with her best friend. Her maker was unaware of the incident therefore left the scene. Elvi struggled with her new life and turned to science fiction and her friends to help her learn how to be a vamprie. So for the last five years Elvi has avoided garlic and crosses, only worn black and has slept in a dirt-filled coffin.
When Elvi's friends place a personal ad seeking a male vampire to keep her company when they pass on, Victor answers the ad to investigate whether a real vampire or a just a vamp-wanna-be is responsible. Then enters the good looking Victor Argeneau who has dedicated his life to eliminating rogue vampires as an enforcer for the vampire council of North America after losing his wife centuries ago to vamprie hunters. Vamp law mandates keeping a low profile and the penalty for attracting human attention is death. Victor is horrified to discover that the whole town knows about Elvi. After meeting Elvi, Victor finds himself torn between duty and the instant overwhelming attraction towards her. Not only does he have to decide her fate he has to keep her alive while someone is trying to kill her.
It is an amusing story one in which several vamps find their life mates.
