Publisher's 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.

Good narrator choice

I was delighted that Audible chose a male to read this book and a really good one to boot! That has not always been the case with their choice of reader. Story was good to begin with and then to get the narrator right as well makes the book a real pleasure to listen to. Kudos Audible and, as usual, a 10 to Kerrelyn Sparks for her brilliance in the writing!!

love the reader

great book! I have been working my way through the series and this is one of my favorites. I really enjoyed listening to this reader.He was great with all the accents. Some of the readers of the other books in this series make me want to claw my eyes out but this guy made it really enjoyable.

Great Read but........

If you could sum up Wanted: Undead or Alive in three words, what would they be?

I have read or listened to all previous books in this series and was really ecited about this one, however, Phin was said to be a Black man in the previous books and it seems that kind of changed in this one. I'd like to think that Phin evolved from his streetlike persona into a more refined young man instead of thinking the author decided to change the character's persona all together. But all in all it was a good book that continued to follow its predecessors. I look forward to the next installment.

What did you like best about this story?

It refers back to previous book stories

What about P. J. Ochlan’s performance did you like?

Since I have a favorite narrator..it is hard for anyone else to match up. This one was good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Anything I listen to I feel like that so yes to this one too.

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to the next book. Holter Graham is a great narrator.

Narrators? Please!!!

I loved this series. But, I really prefer a series to at least have the majority of the books narrated be the same person. I know it's hard to have the same narrator for an entire series, but I would have enjoyed the listening experience more if the same narrator had read all of them.

Extremely Funny!

This was by far the funniest in the series. I did not stop laughing. buy this book if you like comedy. The narrator did a fantastic job with the different voices. My favorite character was Digger

Good story lame narration

Would you consider the audio edition of Wanted: Undead or Alive to be better than the print version?

No!!! The narrator doesn't seem to understand the characters.

What other book might you compare Wanted: Undead or Alive to and why?

The story is similar to the other books in the series generally.

How could the performance have been better?

I am not a professional actor, but it seems that the narrator would have been well served to read the previous books in the series in order to get a better feel for Phineas, his history feelings and such.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Any additional comments?

No

Finally! A great narrator!!!

This was a great book, as all in the series are, but it was the first time the reader truly stepped up to the plate! Excellent job, sir!
