Oh Lynsay Sands. She does make me love vampires all over again. It's been a while since I've read in this series and Vampire Most Wanted reminded me how much I've enjoyed them.

The Gist: Marcus has a job. Check out a carnival fortune teller and see if she's possibly a rogue vampire. He just has to make sure it's the right vampire he's hunting and to do so? Well, he joins the carnival.

Basha and Marcus were fun characters. They're both good vampires. They take care of the people around them. Keeping them safe, lending a hand, doing whatever is needed.

They were good together. They both needed each other's personalities. To bring a little fun out, to make them feel again. And oh man. The heat. It's hilarious. Yeah, the vampire quirk? Well, when they find their mate and, erm, boink...they pass out. Doesn't matter if they're driving, having a go against a trailer, in the shower. Orgasm and they're down for the count. It's such a hoot.

I will say I was surprised by how dark this one turned. Past books that I can remember were all fairly light and this one had lots of light fun elements--I mean, come on, they're living with carnies!-- but man the second half got dark. Basha had such a heartbreaking life and made me ache for her as secrets were revealed.

Overall, a good time was had. Sands has such an entertainingly unique paranormal series with vampires you can't help but fall for.

*note-- this is a real long series (like 29 books) but you're fine jumping around. I've done that with no issues so far

For Basha Argeneau, anything is better than facing her estranged family. Even hiding out in sweltering southern California. But when a sexy immortal in black shows up determined to bring her back to the clan, she'll do anything to keep far, far away from the past she can't outrun.

Marcus Notte isn't here to play games—especially not with someone as crazy as the infamous blonde. Asked by Lucian Argeneau to bring her back for questioning, Marcus is determined to carry out Lucian's request—no matter how the seductive little mind-reading vamp feels about it.

Basha doesn't mind fighting fire with fire, especially with a hot immortal involved. But if he wants to take her away, he'll have to catch her first...
