The series follows Jaz and her sexy, vampire boss all over the globe on missions to protect mankind. Along the way, they accumulate an odd gang of sorts comprised of an interpreter, a psychic and a weapons specialist. Together they work to take on villains such as dirty Senators, terrorists, power hungry Weres, and the evil vampire Edward “The Raptor” Samos. The series is an action-packed ride filled with supernatural fun. Think “Alias” with fangs!
Underneath the action, lies the dark, mysterious past buried in Jaz’s subconscious. As her character develops, more and more gets revealed, leading to one of the most heartbreaking scenes I’ve ever read. There is also a slow building love story that grows between her and Vayl.
I wouldn’t normally review a whole series at a time. Especially one that I read over a year ago, but with Jennifer’s passing, I felt it important to remember her legacy somehow. I hope my readers will seek out these books. They are everything that Urban Fantasy is meant to be—dark, suspenseful, exciting, romantic and most of all fun.
Lastly, my thoughts are with Jennifer’s family, especially her children. I never met Jennifer, but I’ve heard she was a kind woman and a class act. She will be missed.
Overall, I give the Jaz Parks Series…
