This series have been an absolute joy to read, tho I'll admit I haven't read the 7th book as I'm writing this review (Mostly because I'm so in love with it, but if I read the 7th there is no books out as I'm writing this and I'm not ready to deal with that loss yet!)

The books are written as a biography of Fred, the Vampire Accountant. Which means each book is set up episodic, including 3-4 episodes within the book. While the world slowly moves forward. You can compare it to novellas compiled into an omnibus honestly.

Either way, it tells the tale of Fred who was a plain boring accounting in real life and one day woke up to find himself a vampire. It didn't change his life much, he was still boring, he still stayed at home most of the time, he drank red wine and saw movies. Only now he couldn't go out during the day.

Fred starts his own accounting firm, and as the episodes rolls through. He falls in love, he makes friends, allies, even some enemies. What I love about this, is Fred is a coward. Fred doesn't kick ass, despite superhuman strength. Freds first instinct is to hide under the table when threats are being lobbied about. And, minor spoiler as this happens basically right away, he gets a kickass girlfriend. Said girlfriend is also extremely attractive, so there is a certain amount of wishfulfillment here, but it's the girlfriend that kicks ass and takes name. She's the gun-toting madwoman who goes out and saves the day.

And this doesn't really change. Fred grows, yes. He does become a little braver, he isn't as pathetic in book 6 as he was in book 1, but he doesn't really change as a person. He's not violent, he's not comfortable with it. But he is incredible smart, he's constantly trying to solve issues with his brain (and his large caring heart). He reads laws and looks for loopholes and argues his way to winning the day. (Tho usually one of his friends ends up kicking some ass along the way too)

I mentioned the girlfriend. Yes, there is a certain amount of wish fulfillment here. And they constantly underline this, constantly point out how nobody would assume he'd get a girl like her, and etc, etc, etc. But I found it very refreshing how this wasn't an Urban Fantasy with an romance subplot. There is an relationship here, you hear about it, as it is part of what is going on. But it doesn't get described. In other UF, there are heated looks, flirting, inner dialogue, you SEE the relationship grow and form. Here, you kinda get told it after it happens.
I also think.. it kind of makes sense. But, I can't really get into that without getting into some major spoilers.

And outside the major comedy these books are, what I love the most about these books is how.. big of a universe they are? Like, they slowly flesh out the supernatural world of this story. One episode you get to know the shapeshifter more, another you get closer to the dragon, and then witches, and the fae, and.. and.. and.. and at the end it just feels like a real magical world. It isn't just one thing, one race, one type of magic, there are dozens. And Fred slowly learns more about them all. There are pixies, and sentient houses, there are mindbreaking teleportation, and dragons pretending to be small children and about 3 or 4 different government agencies all with their own laws and cultures

+ Episodic short novellas telling the life of Fred, where several years pass by over the entire series
+ Very funny, Very cozy
+ Found Family Vibes
+ Main character is unique - basically an "beta male", doesn't like violence, boring (self-proclaimed), nonpopular (in life) and unattractive
+ Main Character actually wears sweater vests
+ Main Character grows over the series

- Because of the episodic nature, some books where outrageously funny and got 5 star rating, and other were a little more "just above average". It didn't feel consistent.
- Fred/Krystal perfect relationship can be a little heavy on the wish-fulfillment quota, depending on personal preferences
