Book Description
Hell's not the only thing that's hot in the sinful new novel from the author of Accidentally Dead.
Delaney Markham doesn't just see dead people, she hears them too. And FYI-communicating with tortured souls all day can really wreak havoc on your love life. Sans boyfriend, Delaney makes the best of her gift by holding séances to make ends meet-that is until one incredibly annoying ghost just won't go away.
Besides being sinfully hot-in a college professor sort of way-all signs point to Clyde Atwell being much more than the ordinary spirit. In fact, he's a newbie demon whose first assignment is to take Delaney back down to hell with him. Yeah, like that's going to happen on the first date.

I Sure Didn't Read It For The Ingenious Writing., Jan 28 2010
By A. E. Blakemore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kiss & Hell (Paperback)
I don't know what made me pick up this book in the first place--no, I lie. It was reading the phrase "sinfully hot-in a college professor sort of way" that hooked me. I have weaknesses, I am human; professors and other smart guys are my junk food of choice. I digress.Anyway, the whole time I was reading this book, I was gritting my teeth and resisting the urge to throw it across the store. I went home without buying it, and... and I checked it out at the library. No... that's not completely true. I requested that my library purchase it, and a few days later I picked it up. Every few chapters I had to throw it down in disgust and take a walk, but I always came back. Why? Because of that hot piece of ass that was the main love-interest. I'll give Dakota Cassidy this much: she knows how to write up one Hell of a man. Oh God, did I ever love Clyde Atwell, and it sucks that the real world is not populated with men like him.
ANYWAY, enough about that. The narration was crap. She used to many cutesy slang words and phrases in a very hamfisted attempt to be hip and edgy. If I never see the phrase "ba-donkadonk" in a book again, it will be too soon. The token gal-pal was a little too cliche for my tastes, and the main character's relationship with her wonderful, tough-but-sensitive brother was just yea shy of incestuous. I'm sure Miss Cassidy didn't intend it to be that way, but... well, she should have been much more careful.
In short: I came for the Clyde Atwell and stayed for the Clyde Atwell. There was nothing else to redeem this pile of wood-pulp that they call a book, and I was deeply ashamed the whole time I was reading it. That I am now admitting to having read it is a huge step for me.
I give it two stars, and by that I mean that I give Clyde Atwell five stars, but three of them must be revoked because of all the other crap in the book. I recommend this to no one, except maybe as a step up out of the cesspit that is Twilight--by all means, read this if you're trying to work your way up into some better books, but please move on to better things when you're done!

Really didn't like this, July 24 2009
By Robin in Jax - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kiss & Hell (Paperback)
I have enjoyed a few of the author's other books - Accidentally Dead, The Accidental Werewolf. I didn't like The Accidental Human as much - it seemed a stretch even for a paranormal fantasy, but this book really was very hard to get through. It never grabbed me, and I never ended up caring for any of the characters all that much. I'm sad I didn't hold out til I saw this in a bookstore so I could have read the first chapter and found it wasn't for me.

Couldn't KEEP from putting it down., Sep 27 2009
By Bobby R. Treat "DrMajorBob" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kiss & Hell (Paperback)
Why?The narrative is a rambling first-person stream-of-consciousness. The main character is bizarrely scatter-brained from page one. There's too much cutesy slang, and she's constantly talking to the audience. She has 6 dogs, and every one of them is named "Dog", because she's too stupid or lazy to think of real names. But she, apparently, thinks this is just her own special genius.
If she accomplishes anything, it will be DESPITE her very worst efforts.
It's too exhausting to keep reading and find out.
Listmania!
