This book was that awful romantic comedy in book form.
As much as a deny it, I'm a romantic at heart. I root for the couple to fall in love and work it out every time, BUT you have to give me something to believe.
The Main Character of Accidentally Dead spent about 3/4 of the book hating on her love interest (even though she of course lusted for him) and has serious trust issues, but somehow manages to overcome both in the last bit of the book to agree to be mated for all eternity with this guy.
There was little to no build up. Just one night she says she's in a weird mood (though it isn't completely obvious from the writing style), and the love interest isn't as grating to her. This leads to a realization that he isn't as bad as she thought he was. Which leads to eternal love days later?
Add in the misspelling of Metallica (written as Mettalica) - which, as a diehard Metallica fan since I was thirteen, hurt - and the improper use of "couldn't care less" (written as "could care less"), I had a really hard time with this book. I now understand why one of the tips for would be authors is to edit the crap out of your manuscript. Those two editing mishaps were so grating, it was almost enough to make me put down the book.
My advice? Don't read it. About half the porn in the world is more believable than this.
