The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant

I have tried to read this book before and disliked it due to all the weird refrences to gender roles, subtle sexism by the good guys and blatant sexism by the bad ones. And it still very much annoyed the shit out of me. The way Krystal is said to be “very capable” she is literally in danger twice already in this book. I am really not in the mood for the main female character to be constantly kidnapped. It's a dumb trope that I hate so I hope this is the last of that shit. 

I was honestly hoping for much more accounting stuff about supernatural contracts and all that shit. Fred is so incapable of doing literally anything else. I do think I will be reading the next book but if it's just more of this I will not be finishing the series. 

Fred, an Accountant (who also just happens to be a vampire) just wants a quiet life. His idea of a fun night is wine, cheese and cheesy vampire movies. Then one day he decides to go to his High School reunion and he is swept into a series of events that are neither uninteresting nor unadventurous.

I found this novel to be a quick enjoyable read. There was lots of action, and some quiets moments but it flowed well and I didn't feel that the story dragged at any point. The characters we met were interesting and varied and there wasn't too much of any one thing going on. I really enjoyed reading this, and look forward to reading the next book in the series, Undeath and Taxes (Fred, the Vampire Accountant, #2).

For fans of Jim Butcher's I think this would be a hit. A silly, funny, very-light read.
