Review
I am excited to review a paranormal this time around. I must confess it has been a while for the paranormal romance category. I am a sucker for high school romance and just heroines that find out they have some crazy existence in a paranormal world. Oh and don’t forget about the zombies, voodoo priests and Santeria, oh my!
Sky is the new girl in a Louisiana high school from Southern California. She makes new friends and has caught the eye of Daemon, the schools heartthrob. “Daemon Henley is like a beacon for girls“ to be exact. Drawn to Daemon, Sky can’t seem to figure out what exactly he wants with her. Sky is introduced to her new fate/existence in the religion of Santeria. And these two have to team together to defeat the voodoo priest that wants one thing from Sky.
I couldn’t help but swoon over Daemon. He isn’t the typical tall dark and handsome. He has sandy blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. Similar to a hit paranormal series, Daemon is ice cold and is soulless. A zombie is what he is. But unlike the other zombies that are…well…dead, he finds life in Sky. “You do things to me, Sky, that make me feel human again.” A dark secret is revealed later in the story and it brings the story full circle. It brought a whole new understanding to the character of Daemon, and I just loved it, as heartbreaking as it was. Daemon is definitely unlike the other zombies.
I couldn’t get enough of this book. I enjoyed learning about the various characters, especially the voodoo priest/priestess and the zombies. I also loved being educated about their weaknesses and the reason why they became who they are. Nicole did a great job at allowing the reader to explore this world and it was scary realistic. The Accidental Kiss is a romantic paranormal story and it held its own without all the steamy love scenes to catch the readers attention. I enjoyed everything about this story. The only negative about this book is towards the end of the story, I felt it was rushed. I would have liked it to have a bit more action. 4 Smooches for Accidental Kiss by Nicole Simone.
