{Review}

"Teetering on the very edge of a long white sofa, Penelope stared up at the oversized, round clock mounted on the wall." (page 1, line 1)

While I didn't love it as much as Accidentally in Love With ... A God?, the first book in the Accidentally Yours series, I enjoyed it. I still love Mimi Jean's sense of humor, Ixtab's visits to a variety of twelve step groups were my favorite parts of the book.

I thought Ixtab was a unique heroine, I guess being the goddess of suicide is the definition of unique. She's very childlike. With her abilities and their consequences she's never had relationships and doesn't know what to do with the feelings she develops for Antonio. There's a charming innocence about her that really endeared her to me.

Antonio is in turmoil - family issues, an injury, a woman's voice in his head, a desperate need to figure out the tablet and Ixtab. Ixtab who taunts, infuriates, drives him insane and something more. A something more that soon eclipses every other problem in his life. Though he didn't stand out as much to me as Guy did in Accidentally I thought Antonio was a great partner for Ixtab.

Though a few bits of the previous storylines are wrapped up again Vampires ends with a cliffhanger.

{Paranormal Romance Minute Review} Accidentally in Love with...a God? (Accidentally Yours #1) by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

Twenty-two-year-old Emma Keane has a secret friend. He’s powerful, mysterious, and devastatingly handsome. In her dreams, anyway.

In real life, he’s an enigma. Maybe just a teensie jealous. Definitely overbearing. He’s also a voice only she can hear.

So who or what is he? He won’t say. But if she wants to be free, to be normal, Emma will have to trek to the jungles once ruled by the Mayans and find the forgotten ruin holding the answers.

However, the ruthless deity she’s about to unknowingly unleash on the modern world, might not be so easily extracted from her life. Bottom line, he’s got enemies, and now, so does she. (Blurb via Goodreads)

{Review}

"Wasn't dating supposed to be fun?" (page 1, line 1)

The premise of the series is really interesting, gods, mortals, murder, death, mayhem, as is the book, normal girl hearing a voice in her head. But, oh yeah, the voice in her head? He's really a god.

Guy/Votan, aka the voice in Emma's head, is a god. He's got a god sized ego too. He's grumpy and he goes hot and cold and he definitely does not want Emma. At least that's what he tells himself. He's also uber-protective, determined and once in a while, sweet. 

Emma is a firecracker. She's spunky and defiant and of so confused about the voice in her head. A voice she likes and hates and when she meets the guy she's no less confused. Though she felt a little immature at times and has more than one 'too stupid to live' moment I still liked her.

I adored Mimi Jean Pamfiloff's sense of humor, she's sassy and smart and had me laughing out loud more than once. There's a bit of a cliffhanger at the end, more like a mini happily ever after followed by an event that shakes up that ever after, and it will make you want to read the next book in the series ASAP.
