This was a quick little read. We get to see everything from Vayl's point of view, and he's basically observing Jaz while she's out on a job. There's little to no dialogue in this story, but regardless it still moves at a fast pace. I like that we get to see the beginning of Vayl's feeling towards Jaz, and we get to see an "outsiders" view of Jaz since the main body of the series is told from her point of view.

A fun little vignette set about six months before the beginning of the series, shows us what our main character is like without the filter of her own perceptions. Her, at this point, future love interest is watching her do her job, and trying to decide whether or not she's too damaged by recent events (no spoilers, just in case) to continue working in this particular field (supernatural assassination).

4.5 stars. This is my favorite of her books so far. I read this second although it takes place before the first book. I think I liked this book the best because it is from Vayl's perspective. Jaz has to mush ADD for me to follow her all the time.
Warning it is a VERY short story....

I was looking for Jaz, she was so strong and exciting that she carried this little short story.
This was told from Vayls point of view, it makes it clear that he wanted Jaz, from the first time he saw her wow...
This girl is on speed for life or death.....

I enjoyed seeing this from Vayl's perspective, especially because Jaz seems to think she's nothing special while Vayl obviously does. He's often described as sort of unfeeling, but it's nice to know he really does have very strong feelings, he apparently just hides them well. Looking forward to the other shorts coming out over the next few months.
This was a very short read; finished it the whole story during my lunch break while eating and doing other things.

It was a very, very short read, but I liked seeing Jaz through another POV (and it helped that it was Vayl's POV, although he did seem a little stalker/creepy lol). Overall, a nice fun read :)
This is a sweet short story of how Vayl observes Jaz before he decides to take her as a partner. The story is told from Vayl's POV, so that is a bit of fun right there!
Good short story. I stopped reading this series because I just really couldn't get into it but after reading this I may have to go back and finish the series.
Ok I realize it's a short story, but I would have loved to read an entire novel based on Vayl's POV. Such an insight to made him want Jaz.

I really enjoyed this prequel to the series even though it was written after the first book. It gave an insight to Jaz through Vayl's eyes - a strong, smart, kickass character.
Vayl you perv. I appove! Awesome to get inside Vayl's head :)
As my introduction to this author, I quite enjoyed this Short Story.
I'm not entirely sure as to the authenticity of the Male lead - however, he is immortal, so I guess that does leave quite a bit of wiggle room ;)
Jaz is cute - in that awesome kick ass way - and the fact that she's partially suicidal is Fantastic!
I look forward to trying the rest of the series!

I enjoyed it, tho the length and the male POW ruins it a bit for me.
3.5 but I enjoyed seeing Jaz from Vayl's perspective I am rating it up.

I picked up this short story to see if I'd be interested in reading the series. I can't say it overly motivated me to start the series but it didn't turn me off either. I'll likely give it a go and see what the first book has to offer.
Interesting introduction to Jaz Parks. Sets her character up very well for the first full-length book.
