WANTED Undead or Alive by Kerrelyn Sparks

This book has a unexpected twist at the end. I'm thrilled that I picked it up.

He's A Vampire From The Big City...

Phineas McKinney thought New York City was tough, until he was attached 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 Princes......

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.

Tiger of Talmare by Nina Croft

This book starts off with some action right from the start, the heroine meets the hero and you don't even realize it. Then it's 10 years later, and the action starts up again. You get some banter between the heroine and hero and realize that they've had other run ins with each other. You have a heroine who lives life by the set of her pants and manages to some how survive. She has two friends who are completely different from her but a common thread holds them together. Then you have the hero who can't believe she's survived this long without him. He's the "we need a plan" kind of guy, so you have some interesting parts in the book.

I just wish that the Arthur had put in a little bit about the other times the heroine and hero run into each other. This would have made the book longer and explained the chemistry between them better. Over all I liked this book, and I hope she writes about the 2 friends as I like books done in a series.
