Jaz Parks here. My latest mission has taken me to the ancient Greek city of Patras; but instead of soaking up its splendor, I'm here to infiltrate a Vampere Trust. Only two vamps have ever escaped the tightly bound communities and lived to tell the tale: Edward "The Raptor" Samos, the most reviled criminal mastermind in recent memory, and Vayl, the CIA's number one assassin who also happens to be my boss.

The Raptor is trying to take over Vayl's former Trust. Unfortunately the Trust's new leader has her own plans.

This job is going to be the death of me.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jennifer Rardin was born in Evansville, Indiana on April 28, 1965. Her mom told her almost every year what crappy weather it had been that day. However she liked to think of her birthday as the first frost-free date for her planting area. (See what happens when you grow up around farmers? Scary, huh?)

After a youth spent up to her eyeballs in fairy tales, Nordic myths and supernatural legends she made the solid and practical decision to go to college and major in English. After which she never really held a well paying job until Jaz Parks came along! Which is why her kids loved to sing that song to her from the musical “Avenue Q.” The one that begins with the line, “What do you do with a B.A. in English?”

Once she figured out the answer to that question, she wrote Once Bitten, Twice Shy. She spent most of her adult life in an old farmhouse along with her husband and two teenagers. No pets since the cat died, but the birds seem to appreciate his absence. They come to feast at the feeders where she used to write on the back porch in the cool of the morning. A lovely tribute to a wonderful writer.

Jennifer died suddenly at home in September 2010, just after finishing the last Jaz Parks novel.

A Book Obsession..
5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Installment
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2011
Verified Purchase
Jaz, Vayl and Dave are teamed up in this installment to enter into an agreement with a Vampere Trust in orfer to get a shot at their number one target, The Raptor. This particular Trust holds particular danger for Vayl as it was the very one he escaped from a very long time ago. Not only is animosity towards him high, but one member in particular has her sights set on Vayl. Jaz and Vayl have face a lot in the past, but the tangled web being weaved may just be enough to ensnare them for good.

This book gives us a further look into Vayl's past. While much of it still remains a mystery, and probably always will, I did enjoy learning more about him. He has made allusions to the fact that Jaz wouldn't have liked the man he used to be and he seems ashamed of his past. However, even though he may have done bad things in the past, that was then. That he had the strength to leave the situation he was in as well as able to survive to make a better man of himself is nothing short of admirable.

Poor Vayl and Jaz, they never seem to be able to catch a break when it comes to their budding relationship. Vayl thinks he is sure about Jaz, yet anytime something comes up with his sons, his thoughts about her seem to go out the window. Jaz on the other hand knows that she loves and needs Vayl, but just cannot bring herself to accept this fact. The fear of losing him is too high. So, when you add in those problems to the psychotic vampire who is trying to steal Vayl away and claim him for her own, you can't expect much progression to happen. It is a shame that everything seems to be against them, and I think I will do a happy dance when they finally get together. As frustrating as the slow progression has been, I prefer it this way as long as that means that they will have a strong foundation and not crumble at the first obstacle, so that in the end everything will have been worth the wait.

I enjoyed this book, but I did have one complaint. The situation with Cole is really starting to grate on my nerves. It is obvious that she will never choose him, and I think he knows that. In fact I bet the only reason he seems to be going after her so hard is the fact that he can't actually have Jaz. He just doesn't seem to be the type to settle down, which is what being with Jaz would lead to. Jaz has herself so worried about crushing him by telling him no, but I just don't think it will really effect him that much in the long run. He may think he loves her, but deep down I think she is just a "safe" outlet for him. So despite that one issue, I loved the book and cannot wait to read more. I'll have to say the thing I love most about this series is that while there is an overall story arc that leaves unfinished business from book to book, each individual book has its own issue that gets resolved. So, no nasty cliffhangers to drive you nuts, making this series a must read in the urban fantasy genre.

I really, really like Jaz Parks. This is book 4 in the series, and the series is going strong. I like that Jaz is messed up, she has issues, but she still manages to deal with her crazy family, her vampire boss, and her newly inherited sensitive skills. She is a tough cookie, always ready for a fight, always ready to protect the people close to her. I like Vayl as well. He's got his own issues, he's not just some studly super-vamp...he's got obsessive issues. I really hope that Vayl manages to overcome his hang ups and focus on the future instead of the past, and I hope that Jaz does the same....sooner rather than later. The sexual tension is getting crazy already.... anyhow, I'm starting the next book now....I'm so hooked on this series.....

3.0 out of 5 stars Eh not as good as her other books.
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2009
Man this book is hard for me unlike the others. She usually keeps me interested but this one's kind of a snooze. I am only a few chapters in and been doing one chapter when I feel like reading it but man I am pushing myself to read this book. I hope the others are good. I have ADHD and normally her books the font is hard for me as its small and close together unlike some books but I can usually read one book in less then a week. This one it's been 3 weeks and I am only a few chapters and I am bored.

Great novel with unexpected turns and twists such in bring into the mix werewolves backing with werebears, sweet. More kissing between Vayl and Jas nice but they need to get serious in the next novel. Even with the age different when did that a vamp from getting serious with their mate. I know they both have hang- ups but give your reader's a brake and get on with it. I still suggest newcomers to Jaz Parks novels to come on board and start reading the trilogy.

I have enjoyed the whole series so far, and can't wait for #5 which I have pre-ordered. Jaz Parks is a great character, well-developed, who drags the reader into her world: she is a government assassin whose boss and partner-in-assassination is... a vampire. Many of the bad guys are other-worldly, so it helps to have some on your side. The plots twist and turn and keep you careening along with the story. Don't start this book in the evening; you'll never get to bed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once Bitten...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 22, 2011

I was looking for a new series-I have read my way through the Nalani Singh Psy/Changeling series several times, and a review for the Jaz Parks Sequence looked good. It is a new twist on the vampire genre that I really enjoyed with vampires working for the American Government as preventers and assassins. The series is beautifully written, fast paced, tongue in cheek fun. Jaz is a heroine I admire and the whole multi dimensional aspect to the battle between good and evil just makes me want the rest of the series.
If you want high brow gothic literature, this isn't it but is is a heck of a good read.

Jaz and Vayl are called to Vayl's former trust to help them being taken over by the CIA's no. 1 supernatural enemy. The trust's new leader is determined to trap Vayl back into the trust. Jaz has other ideas. This is a bit darker than the other stories in the series but kept from being too serious by the increasing chemistry between Jaz and Vayl. This is one of the more under-rated vamp mystery series but is easily up there with the Sookie Stackhouse and Twilight novels.
