Romance Paranormal

Phineas McKinney has been fighting Malcontents, evil vampires, ever since he was saved by the good vampires. Always happy in his role as the 'Love Doctor', Phin has had his share of fun but now, watching all his friends fall in love one by one, Phin realizes how much he hates the persona he's created. When he's teamed up with Brynley Jones to hunt for the new leader of the Malcontents, Phin wants Brynley to see a different side of him. Phin does all he can to prove to her he's not the man he used to be, but with Bryn's hatred of vampires pretty apparent, is there anything he can do to prove to her he's a good guy?

Sacrificing her cushy life as a werewolf princess for her freedom, Brynley Jones left her pack to find her brother only to discover he had teamed up with vampires. Now the new leader of the Malcontents is proving to be dangerous and Bryn is being forced to join forces with Phineas, a vampire she wants to hate yet has a hard time resisting. As sparks fly between Bryn and Phin, danger circles around them from all sides. Having to contend with the Malcontents is bad enough, but add Bryn's father, her wolf pack and an unwanted jilted werewold fiance to the mix, and you have enough danger to last a lifetime. With all those forces doing their best to keep them apart, will the love that Bryn and Phin have be able to survive?

For those who've only ever thought of Phineas as a corny side character and didn't think he had great hero making appeal, be prepared to be proven wrong. In WANTED: UNDEAD OR ALIVE the twelfth book in the Love at Stake series, Kerrelyn Sparks shows us a more mature Phineas who has grown up and is ready to find the kind of love his friends have. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with this Phineas. Gone is the cocky and corny jokester and in his place we meet a man who's been through a lot and is trying to do his best to get through the new life he's been given. Brynley brings her own problems and complications to the relationship and I liked how they seemed to balance each other out. As always, a visit with previous characters is always a delight and some interesting new characters hold the potential for some great stories in the future. With the delightful addition of WANTED: UNDEAD OR ALIVE to the series, Kerrelyn Sparks shows she's still on top and has what it takes to put out an engrossing page turner. This isn't one you want to miss.

SUMMARY

He's a vampire from the big city . . .

Phineas McKinney thought New York City was tough, until he was attacked by Malcontents—evil vampires who consider mortals to be snacks. Saved by the good vampires, Phin swore to devote his now undead life to stopping the Malcontents. He's got his job cut out for him when word comes that their enemy may be hiding in Wyoming. What does a city boy like him know about horses and campfires? Good thing he's got Brynley Jones with him . . . if only she didn't hate every vampire on earth.

She's a werewolf princess . . .

Bryn believes vampires are seductive and charming, and that makes them dangerous. So she's more than a little annoyed about teaming up with Phin, even if he is the only bloodsucker able to make her inner wolf purr. But as they hunt down the new leader of the Malcontents, danger threatens . . . and Phineas and Brynley discover a passion that will rock the foundation of their supernatural world.
