Review of Biting the Bullet (Jaz Parks, Book 3)
- 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 the more the merrier, right? Um . . . nope. At least not since Vayl and I learned part of our job is to ferret out a mole concealed in our unit.
To add to our problems, we're being harried by a pack of reavers bent on revenge, and targeted by a Seer who wants to share Vayl's power - at any cost. Oh yeah, and let's not forget the army of demonic, soul-sucking parasites either. This is going to be a blast.

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.
Score: 5

Still love them!
Very quick read, just as good as the other two.. the only thing was, I ordered it from Amazon, not a seller, and the spine arrived damaged. I didn't want to send it back b/c I wanted to read it so badly! Can't wait for the fourth book!

An awesome bite!
Jaz Parks is at it again, this time her brother Dave tags along and well isn't the nicest of all the brothers out there. The whole gang is back adding Dave's team, they are on a mission to assassinate an out of control wizard who is making zombies attack. Jaz has to find out who the mole in their team is, because until then she has to lie to most of the them about the plan to stop the wizard, since he's the one controling the mole, except she wont lie to Vayl of course. Speaking of Vayl Jaz has to convince him that the new psychic is using him for his power. Will Vayl and Jaz's relationship hit a rocky place, Can Jaz stop the Wizard before he hits to close to her?, and what happens when the mole is discovered in the group?
Overall this latest book is full of action packed adventure,zombies who are just plan scary and doesn't dissapoint in romance, magic, and whole lot of Jaz sarcasm. Rardin does a great job in her third book and now I want more!

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.
