Book Overview

I'm Lucille Robinson
(aka Jaz Parks).

This is a mission unlike anything my vampire boss, Vayl, and I have ever been on. It's not our usual take them out and run; it's an undercover mission that needs the whole gang: a psychic, an interpreter, and a weapons specialist. We're joining a Special Ops team to nail the Wizard, a major terrorist thorn in the military's side. We've never gone in with such heavy artillery before, but...

FUN, FUN, FUN with all manner of strange creatures

This is the third book in a great series. If you haven't read the first two- BACK UP! And go get "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "Another One Bites the Dust." You will not be disappointed!!! I am a HUGE fan of the paranormal genre- within which you have two major categories: the romance novels that use some kind of thriller/mystery as a subplot and then the thrillers that have romance as a subplot. I have to say that Ms. Rardin has been VERY successful in writing a series that focuses on the characters and the fun universe she has created and made any potential romance much more of a thread- enticing, tantalizing, exciting, but much like real life, not the focus. This installment broadens the universe and takes us abroad. We get to spend more time on Jaz' brother, David. We see more of Jaz' innate ability to read others- their motivations, their weaknesses, their characters. And we see Vayl, the indomitable, sexy, enigmatic pillar of control, finally show weakness. All in all, a great read- and a great continuation of a fun series. Enjoy!

Excellent

This is another excellent one from Rardin. I'd suggest starting with the first one (this is the 3rd), but otherwise excellent. Jaz and her companions go after the Wizard who has infiltrated her brother's military team. This is a face paced book. Jaz is incredibly strong, but still human. I'd highly recommend this book and the others in the series.

An Ian Fleming/P N Elrod hybrid?

If you like suspense and well written fantasy together, this is the series for you. Each book is a stand-alone, but since I have strong prejudices about reading series in order, I highly recommend that this one comes third. The relationships between our major players continue to develop, as do several of the characters. None of these people are stupid, and they ring true in their situation. There's not a lot I can say that would not be a spoiler, but suffice to mention that the ongoing effort to stop the Big Bad Guy goes on, and Jaz's family are a delight (mostly). I found Jaz shopping mid-story and finding a sale rather endearing, since in reality one does have to stop the adventure now and then to do something non-adventurous. I'm already looking forward to #4 & 5. NOTE: whoever designed these books and thought to put the # of the book in the series on the spine should be celebrated. This is so sensible, and so rare that it is truly frightening.

Gimme More

I really love this series. There's adventure and some serious butt-kicking, but most of all it's populated with strong, likeable characters. It's the characters that keep me coming back for more. Our heroine, Jaz Parks, is an assassin. After her crew was obliterated by vamps (which happened prior to the first book in the series), she gets assigned to work with Vayl. Vayl's a 300+ vampire who also works as an assassin for the government. In the first book we get to know Jaz & Vayl, in the second we get to see the interplay between them and with their new team (a former PI, a gadget genius, and a seer). In this book, the dynamics set up during the second book really get tested. Both Jaz & Vayl must confront their pasts in order to stop their current target, the Wizard. Don't think Dorothy & Toto, but rather dead-raising necromancer in the Middle East. There's also the pesky business of a mole on the team and a group of reavers gunning for Jaz who's been marked for death. All the gangs back, with a few new characters of both the normal and paranormal, dead and undead, persuasion. It's really a great read, and I can't wait for the next one! I recommend that you read the first two books in the series before diving into this one -- you won't be disappointed: Once Bitten, Twice Shy (Jaz Parks, Book 1) and Another One Bites the Dust (Jaz Parks, Book 2).

This fantasy/spy series is not to be missed

Jaz Parks and her crew are sent to the Middle East on a mission, teamed with her twin brother Dave and his squad. Their mission is to assassinate the mysterious Wizard in control of a force of zombies. But there is a mole in Dave's team. Can Jaz find the mole, uncover the truth behind the Wizard, fight the reavers sent after her each morning because of a mark on her forehead, and convince her boss not to believe a manipulating psychic? Whew! This latest Jaz Parks adventure is the most jam-packed yet! With non-stop action and adventure, this fantasy/spy series is not to be missed. With deadly creatures around every corner, Jaz is used to battling the forces of evil. But when her benefactor takes her through hell itself, Jaz is thrown into a whole new playing field. Rardin doesn't disappoint in this latest installment. With plenty of suspense, action, and romantic angst, I'm already impatient for the next in the series.
