Price: $12.99 | After defeating an ancient demon in Once Bitten,Twice Shy, CIA field operative Jaz Parks and her vampire partner, Vayl, have forged a special squad with the new associates they met on their last case. Millennium-old Cassandra the seer, technological genius Bergman, and sensitive Cole have joined Jaz and Vayl in hunting down evil doers.
Their current assignment is to prevent an invincible Chinese vampire, Chien-Lung, from starting WW III. Bergman is especially sensitive to this malevolent being, as Chien stole one of his gizmos from the army’s White Sands Missile Range--a body armor that has made him unbeatable when combined with his supernatural abilities. Finding this cold blooded killer will not be easy; as they also must dispatch the soul stealing Reavers who want to snack on the team members, especially Jaz, when she goes undercover as a belly dancer in Corpus Christi. They also know somehow that malevolent vampire Edward “The Raptor” Samos, who believe he should rule the world, is somewhere in the mix
The second Jaz urban fantasy mystery thriller is an exciting tale that grips the audience from the outset. The heroine forges her new team into a cohesive unit, fighting and bickering until, seeking to defeat the evil ones, she belly dances at a winter festival and learns more about her relationship as Vayl’s avhar than she wants to know. With romance, espionage, and mystery enhancing the fantasy, sub-genre fans will appreciate the adventures and missteps of Jaz and her mates. | | |
