Wanted
From USA Today bestselling author Karpov Kinrade and Liv Chatham comes a dark love story that will break you and remake you.It starts with a help wanted ad.The mysterious man who just bought the grandest mansion in town needs a housekeeper.No one's met him.No one knows who he is.I'm about to find out that he's much more than he appears.Everyone has skeletons in their closest. His are just more literal than most. I didn't expect to fall for him. I didn't expect to feel the way I do when I'm with him. And though his skeletons are gruesome, mine are the ones that will end up destroying us both. My new boss only has three rules, and I break them all the day I start working for him. This isn't a love story, though you might wish it were. This is a survival story, with love the cost of admission. And death the price for betrayal. NOTE: This is a dark paranormal romance novella (short) serial with mystery. Could contain triggering themes and cliffhangers.

This was such a disappointment. Kassandra/Jeremy were too cool when they found the truth about the Count. It was like it’s common to find out about your boss being a supernatural among other things. And the Count was so cool when he found out about her mission. She broke his rules and he was so calm, not even angry at her. Another thing was I wanted to read about the Count and Don’s fighting but because we didn’t have his POV, so it didn’t happen. Told in single POV, 1st person, it’s the third installment (and the last, I think) in Wanted series. It’s a very quick read, hope you enjoy it more than me!

Decent finale
I really enjoyed this series, but was disappointed with the final book. The writing was lacking something that I enjoy from these authors that make their stories creative with strongly developed characters that give their books an edge. This book seemed rushed, lacking the depth of the previous books with a few editing errors. It seems like it was written just to give it an ending which was anticlimactic. Their father becomes a demon ?? That seemed out of left field, he was an alcoholic abusive ex- cop/parent that couldn't stay sober, then knows about supernatural beings ?? to become one just didn't work for me and the story line. Sorry guys not your best work. Please take this as constructive criticism and just my personal opinion.

So I REALLY wanted to be able to give this conclusion to the serial 5 stars like I did the previous installments, but it fell a little flat for me. I have three reasons:
1. Yes, the Count and Kassandra's attraction had been growing, but when they finally give into each other it goes from boss/employee sexual tension to "forever love" basically instantly.
2. Kass goes from knowing nothing about the paranormal world at the beginning of this third section, to instantly wanting to be turned into a vampire without even fully knowing the repercussions. And then the Count agrees and turns her immediately after she asks.
3. Kass hasn't come across the paranormal world and all of a sudden she meets the Count and paranormal creatures start popping up in other areas of her life? It's improbable. This does add action, but I think there was already enough without it.
It's possible the wait between parts built up my expectations, but if it wasn't for the rest of the story being so good, I'd probably give this 3 stars instead of 4. It had so much potential, but the rushed ending left me wanting.

I was totally blindsided by how this story connects to...well, I'm not going to say because I don't like adding spoilers to reviews. I realize now I should have seen it coming, but honestly I don't care that I didn't. It was fun having that OH moment! It really made me see one of the main characters in a whole new light. Cryptic - I know.
I enjoyed Wanted in the three installments. It makes me think of how it must have been for readers anticipating works from Edgar Allen Poe or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Forever wanted
The dark love the Count and Kas share is not your normal love. It is dangerous, sexy, and forever. This was a perfect ending to and awesome take. Karpov Kinrade and Liv Chatham create magic together.

I got into the second iteration of this story okay, but then the end was just meh for me, so in total the story was meh for me. To me, the whole story was severely lacking in detail and character development. There wasn't really anyone or anything I found myself caring about.

Okay-ish novellas
Ultimately between bad editing and unbelivable timelines, lack of quality, it just irritated me. The ideas created had merit for several full length novels and sequals. Disappointed.

I love this author so even though I didn't like the first book I kept reading. I am disappointed. I expected more. I found the story and the characters to be cheesy.

Great Read
I really enjoyed this series. I am happy the way things turned out for them. Good riddance to her father and Don, they got what they deserved.

I really enjoyed this book...
It's a darker story....
Very compelling, and full of twists and turns that you never saw coming.
The ending was perfect.
LOVED it!!
