Undeath and Taxes

Fred, the Vampire Accountant Series #2

By: Drew Hayes

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

After discovering just how filled with magic, intrigue, and adventure the parahuman world of being an undead American can be, Fredrick Frankford Fletcher did exactly what was expected - he became a certified parahuman accountant. Myths and legends, as it turns out, are not so great at taking appropriate deductions and keeping their receipts, and Fred is more than happy to return to a life others view as woefully dull, expanding his accounting business to cater to various monsters and their respective financial needs. Said monsters are, unfortunately, still spectacular at pulling Fred into trouble, though. And despite merely wanting to stick with simple paperwork, Fred once again finds that he is going to have to deal with enchanted weaponry, government agents, possessed houses, and one enigmatic dragon's interest. In the parahuman world, any business can turn deadly, even one as mundane as accounting.

Good fun and worth a listen

These books aren't as frothy as they come across. There is some interesting character development and the world of the arcane is slowly but effectively revealed and developed. Not a highly intellectual read but fun, light-hearted and nerdy. All good!

Slow and steady delivers again

I don’t expect epic storylines from this series, but rather a consistent and interesting handful of stories with each new book that tells us more and more about the story world and our main characters. Book 2 continues to deliver.

Another entry in a nice, stress free series.

This is a great series if you want something lighthearted, sweet and fairly stress free to pass the time. I also like how it is put together as a series of short adventures.

A Fun listen

enjoyable characters with a entertaining storyline. The first book was so much fun to listen I had to get the next one in the series, and will definitely get the rest.. thumbs up

Such a fun read

My love seems to only grow for books by Drew Hayes. He has this uncanny ability for you to love the characters (even the ones that have done a terrible thing). There is such an excellent level of character development that whenever you re-read the stories, you just love them so much more.
They also strike an excellent balance between dark and light that's hard to do, which just makes them so unbelievably easy to read. As soon as I started this, I had to keep reading to the end because I felt the absolute need to stay with the characters until the end. It's so lovely when I find a book that does this, let alone a series. I hope the next book is equally as good!
