Summary
Summary
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.

Booklist Review
CIA assassin and vampire Jasmine Parks jazzes things up again in the third of Rardin's quirky, fang-in-cheek series that's so far a welcome addition to the dark-fantasy thriller ranks. Jaz's team includes boss vampire Vayl, bespectacled weapons guru Miles Bergman, and sharpshooter-linguist Cole. The Department of Defense now proposes that Jaz join her twin, Dave, to whom she hasn't spoken in 16 months, in his special-ops unit to bring down a terrorist. The family affair caper even includes a reunion with the twins' abusive mom in hell not exactly a Hallmark moment.--Scott, Whitney Copyright 2008 Booklist
Library Journal Review
In her third outing (after Another One Bites the Dust), CIA agent Jaz Parks once again partners with her handsome, intelligent vampire boss, Vayl, to track down monsters threatening human existence. This time, the target is the Wizard, an ancient being with strong paranormal powers. Jaz and Vayl join with a special ops unit led by Jaz's twin brother, but Jaz has secret knowledge of a mole in the unit and must identify the spy before the hunt can proceed. Rardin's previous books focused on the relationship between Vayl and Jaz, but her latest centers on Jaz's often dysfunctional family, her growing paranormal abilities, and the demons that beset her. The action rarely stops in this page-turner. Recommended for urban fantasy collections. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
