I'm Jaz Parks. My boss is Vayl, born in Romania in 1744. Died there too, at the hand of his vampire wife, Liliana. But that's ancient history. For the moment Vayl works for the C.I.A. doing what he does best--assassination. And I help. You could say I'm an Assistant Assassin. But then I'd have to kick your ass.Our current assignment seemed easy. Get close to a Miami plastic surgeon named Assan, a charmer with ties to terrorism that run deeper than a buried body. Find out what he's meeting with that can help him and his comrades bring America to her knees. And then close his beady little eyes forever. Why is it that nothing's ever as easy as it seems?
Review: First in the Jaz Parks series. The story itself wasn't all that original but I liked the characters a lot. Jaz herself, Vayl, Cole, Bergman, Cassandra, Jaz's family... I really want to know more about them. The banter among the characters was quite funny and I loved the whole "secret agents" and "crazy gadgets" angle. It felt a bit like James Bond in urban fantasy setting. Quite cool, actually.
