Wanted: Undead or Alive by Kerrelyn Sparks

4.0

I’ve been a fan of the Kerrilyn Sparks Love at Stake series for a while and now twelve books in this is the gift that keeps on giving. I’ve noticed that the covers can sometimes make you think that the book is going to be dark and scary but I’ve always found them to be light hearted and funny. Don’t get me wrong, the mystery/suspense in each book is well written and is an edge-of-your-seat page turner almost every time, but the humor that Ms. Sparks interjects is something that keeps me coming back time and again. That and her sexy vampires. Wanted: Undead or Alive proved again why I love the stories from Ms. Sparks. Phineas has been a hilarious character throughout the books and finally getting a chance to see more of his life and his story is great. He is a more recent vampire so he has a lot of modern ideas and vocabulary and he even still has living family. Tired of his Dr. Phang persona, Phineas is ready to settle down and find The One just like his brothers in arms. The only problem is that the woman he can’t stop thinking about is werewolf princess Brynley. Brynley was a great character but sadly I didn’t exactly remember her from the earlier stories (I read a lot so forgetting secondary characters is sadly normal for me). She made a lasting impression in this story because she was extremely well written and went through a lot of growth in this story. Plus the chemistry between her and Phineas just leapt of the pages. Another great read in the Love at Stake series and I really hope there’s more to come!
