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

Light hearted and fun to read, like the author's other series Spells, Swords and Stealth, this particular books is a set of 3 small adventures that are relatively back-to-back.

The audiobook was especially good if you're a fan of foley work.

This was...fine. It was kind of low-stakes and felt a little padded out at times, but it was entertaining in a low-key way. I never really felt gripped however.

Fred's an accountant AND a vampire and is about to discover there's more to the world than tax forms and playing it safe. This one was fun and a fast read.

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

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. 

As usual I'm late to the party but this was a much needed breath of fresh air.Fred used to be a more than mild mannered and somewhat overweight accountant until one day he found himself part of the undead. The thing is vampire or not, besides weight loss and enhanced abilities, he's the same Fred and that's a beautiful thing. The book is told in a series of vignettes that Fred is writing for “posterity” and in each Fred acquires knowledge about the other paranormal creatures that inhabit our world and picks up a chosen family along the way: Krystal, Fred's former high school classmate, now a kick-ass agent for The Agency, and an unexpected love interest, Albert, the sweetest zombie accounting assistant ever, Bubba etc. But most of all there's Fred who's nerdtastic and makes accounting heroic. I loved it! Super fun. I feel like I'm burying the lead. I did this as an audio by [a:Kirby Heyborne 2740918 Kirby Heyborne https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1361505917p2/2740918.jpg] AMAZEBALLS. You won't regret it.
