Dakota Cassidy Books in Order (Updated April 22, 2026)

Dakota Cassidy’s bibliography makes the most sense when you read it in eras, not as one giant uninterrupted list. Her earlier work is dominated by comic paranormal romance, especially the long-running Accidental books. Then there is a smaller contemporary-romance lane. After that, a large part of the newer catalog shifts into paranormal and cozy mysteries, with several separate series running side by side.

For most readers, the cleanest entry point is still The Accidental Werewolf. It opens her best-known world, introduces the tone that made her popular, and leads naturally into the much longer Accidental run. If you want Dakota Cassidy as a mystery writer instead, start with Witch Slapped or Then There Were Nun.

Track 1: Start with the paranormal romance books

This is the best route if you want the classic Dakota Cassidy experience.

Accidentally Paranormal / The Accidental Series

1. The Accidental Werewolf (2008): Marty Andrews is bitten by a werewolf, and the book opens Cassidy’s signature blend of paranormal chaos, romantic comedy, and fast banter.
2. Accidentally Dead (2008): Nina Statleon’s story keeps the same world and humor while shifting to a vampire heroine with a fresh romantic setup.
3. The Accidental Human (2009): The third book widens the recurring cast and proves the series is built as a connected friend-group world rather than a single-couple run.
4. Accidentally Demonic (2010): Cassidy pushes the supernatural premise wider, adding another accidental transformation story to the growing ensemble.
5. Accidentally Catty (2011): The series continues its pattern of heroine-centered paranormal mishaps, now with a feline turn and more crossover payoff from earlier books.
6. Accidentally Dead, Again (2012): Nina returns, making this one more rewarding if you already know the earlier Accidental circle.
7. The Accidental Genie (2012): The world stretches again beyond werewolves and vampires, keeping the series playful instead of repetitive.
8. The Accidental Werewolf 2: Something About Harry (2013): This follow-up revisits Marty’s lane and works best once the earlier Accidental cast already feels familiar.
9. The Accidental Dragon (2015): The paranormal range expands again, showing how far the series has moved from its original werewolf starting point.
10. Interview with an Accidental (2015): A short introductory guide to the Accidental women, best treated as bonus material rather than a numbered novel.
11. Accidentally Aphrodite (2015): A later branch of the Accidental books that keeps the same comic-supernatural energy while launching the “Accidentals” continuation.
12. Accidentally Ever After (2015): The continuation settles into a later-generation rhythm, with the existing world doing more of the work.
13. Bearly Accidental (2016): The title signals the same formula clearly: a fresh paranormal twist inside an already established comedy-romance universe.
14. How Nina Got Her Fang Back (2016): Nina returns again, making this one feel especially tied to the older Accidental books.
15. The Accidental Familiar (2016): Poppy becomes a familiar, and the official description explicitly says the OOPs women help her, confirming this is still one connected Accidental world.
16. Then Came Wanda… with a Baby Carriage (2017): The long-running cast keeps expanding, with family and friendship now as important as the romance premise.
17. The Accidental Mermaid (2017): Another supernatural variation that keeps the series moving by changing the creature setup instead of the tone.
18. Marty’s Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad Day (2019): Marty gets the spotlight again in a later-series return that clearly assumes you already know the world.
19. The Accidental Unicorn (2019): The Accidental universe keeps broadening into increasingly whimsical creature territory.
20. The Accidental Troll (2020): By this stage the series is running on established cast chemistry and comedic paranormal escalation.
21. Accidentally Divine (2021): A later entry that shows the Accidental line is still active well beyond its original 2008 start.
22. The Accidental Gargoyle (2021): Current broad listings place this as the latest main Accidental book.

Wolf Mates

1. An American Werewolf in Hoboken: A separate werewolf-romance series opener, distinct from the Accidental line even though it uses some of the same comic-paranormal appeal.
2. What’s New, Pussycat?: The second book continues the creature-themed romantic comedy setup.
3. Gotta Have Faith: The third book keeps the series moving as a smaller paranormal side line.
4. Moves Like Jagger: Another animal-themed paranormal romance in the same sequence.
5. Bad Case of Loving You: The fifth book closes the currently listed Wolf Mates run.

Fangs of Anarchy

1. Forbidden Alpha: This series shifts toward a biker-wolf angle while staying in Cassidy’s broader paranormal-romance lane.
2. Outlaw Alpha: The official printable list shows two Fangs of Anarchy books; current Goodreads shelving also reflects that second-book status.

Paris, Texas Romance

1. Witched at Birth: A paranormal-romance opener that starts a smaller witch-centered sequence outside the main Accidental books.
2. What Not to Were: Originally published in an anthology, then reissued as a single title, so it belongs in the series but can look easy to miss in older lists.
3. Witch Is the New Black: The third main Paris, Texas book continues the witch-heavy comic-romance setup.
4. White Witchmas: Another anthology-origin story, best treated as an optional but in-order series extra.

Single paranormal romance

The Polanski Brothers: Home of Eternal Rest: A standalone paranormal romance, best read outside any strict series plan.

Track 2: Read the contemporary romances separately

These books do not need the paranormal series first.

Plum Orchard / Call Girls

1. Talk This Way: A digital-only novella that sets up the series before the first full novel.
2. Talk Dirty to Me: The first main contemporary romance in this line, using Cassidy’s humor without the paranormal framework.
3. Something to Talk About: The second full novel continues the same small-series continuity.
4. Talking After Midnight: The fourth entry closes the currently listed Plum Orchard run.

Ex-Trophy Wife

1. You Dropped a Blonde on Me: A contemporary-romance opener built around divorce, reinvention, and Cassidy’s usual comic tone.
2. Burning Down the Spouse: The second book continues the same ex-wife-centered setup.
3. Waltz This Way: The third book completes the listed series.

Single contemporary romance

Whose Bride Is She Anyway?: A standalone contemporary romance, separate from the paranormal and mystery lanes.

Track 3: The mystery-heavy Dakota Cassidy books

This is the best route if you want the newer side of her career.

Witchless in Seattle Mysteries

1. Witch Slapped: Stevie Cartwright’s first case opens one of Cassidy’s longest mystery lines, shifting her comedy into paranormal sleuthing.
2. Quit Your Witchin’: The second book deepens the recurring mystery setup and confirms this is a true ongoing series.
3. Dewitched: The third entry keeps the same witchy-cozy formula moving.
4. The Old Witcheroo: The series settles into its long-run rhythm here.
5. How the Witch Stole Christmas: A holiday entry that still fits the main sequence.
6. Ain’t Love a Witch?: The sixth book continues Stevie’s run without changing the core setup.
7. Good Witch Hunting: Another main entry in what becomes Cassidy’s biggest mystery series.
8. Witch Way Did He Go?: The eighth book keeps the sequence going beyond the original printable-list page break.
9. Witches Get Stitches: The series continues into a later phase with the same lead and magical-sleuth frame.
10. Witch It Real Good: The tenth book shows how durable the series became.
11. Witch Perfect: The eleventh keeps the long-running continuity intact.
12. Gettin’ Witched: The twelfth book was on the printable list; official site pages indicate the series continues beyond that point, but the twelve-book list is the stable verified core from the printable bibliography.

Nun of Your Business Mysteries

1. Then There Were Nun: This mystery opener starts one of Cassidy’s best-known newer cozy lines with a comic premise and a clear sleuthing structure.
2. Hit and Nun: The second book continues the same mystery-comedy setup.
3. House of the Rising Nun: The third entry keeps the tone and series identity intact.
4. The Smoking Nun: The fourth book extends the run without changing leads or formula.
5. What a Nunderful World: The fifth currently listed book closes the verified core series.

Marshmallow Hollow Mysteries

1. Jingle All the Slay (2020): A Christmas-heavy mystery opener that begins a cozy series built around holiday theming and murder.
2. Have Yourself a Merry Little Witness (2020): The second book leans into the same festive-cozy premise.
3. One Corpse Open Slay (2020): The third entry continues the holiday-murder structure.
4. Carnage in a Pear Tree (2021): Broad catalog listings show a fourth book, even though the older printable list stopped at three.

Lemon Layne Mysteries

1. Prawn of the Dead: A contemporary cozy opener, separate from Cassidy’s paranormal sleuth lines.
2. Play That Funky Music White Koi: The second book continues the same mystery lane.

Bewitching Midlife Crisis Mystery

1. Stage Fright (2022): Evanora Dark’s first outing opens a paranormal mystery line focused on ghosts, staging, and midlife reinvention.
2. Bohemian Tragedy (2023): The second book deepens the ghost-talking premise and keeps the same sleuth-driven structure.
3. Exit Stage Death (2023): The third entry pushes the supernatural mystery angle harder.

Witched and Hitched Mysteries

1. The Case of the Spring Fling’s Missing Offspring (2024): A newer mystery line that opens with a deliberately playful case-title format.
2. The Case of Trish the Dish and the Birthday Wish (2024): The second book continues that same naming and sleuthing structure.
3. The Case of the Phantom Spy and the Haunted French Fry (2025): The third book is the current listed continuation.

1. The Accidental Detectives: It’s Called Murder, Brenda. Look It Up. (2024): Goodreads identifies this as a spinoff from the Accidental books, making it best read after you already know that world.
2. Tell Me It’s Murder Without Telling Me It’s Murder (2025): The second book keeps the same comedic-paranormal-detective angle.
3. Be a Detective, They Said. It’ll Be Fun, They Said. (2025): Retail and catalog listings show this as book three.
