Now that Samos is dead, those left standing are scrambling to gain power. Jaz and Vayl's bosses feel that the balance should be kept, so their latest assignment is to stop the assassination of one of the rising powers. Posing as a bunch of ghost hunters they set off to stop a very gifted female assassin with some nasty powers of her own.

Now that Samos is dead, those left standing are scrambling to gain power. Jaz and Vayl's bosses feel that the balance should be kept, so their latest assignment is to stop the assassination of one of the rising powers. Posing as a bunch of ghost hunters they set off to stop a very gifted female assassin with some nasty powers of her own. To make matters more complicated, Jaz's dad has somehow wormed his way into the mission and for the first time ever, Vayl was denied a request by the CIA. The force they are up against needs a warlock's magic to contain it but the new oversight committee gave them Cole instead. Something fishy is going on, so Jaz and Vayl will have to keep a wary eye out if they are to have any hope at surviving this one intact.

In my review of the last book I said I would do a happy dance when Vayl and Jaz finally get together. I am very happy to say that they are definitely on the right track as they pretty much are an official couple now. Of course there still are some issues between them and I'm sure the road will never be completely smooth. That being said, they have taken things very slow, so they should be stable enough to last. There were several points in the book where Jaz is overcome with emotion. As we all know, emotion is not something she is very comfortable with, so it really was monumental for her to be able to show these feelings for Vayl.

The mission for this book was a little confusing at times as it wasn't really the main focus. Much more time was spent on Jaz's personal growth, her relationship with Vayl, and her issues with her father. Another main issue was this new oversight committee that seems to be meddling in their affairs. I got the sense that they were supposed to be a big potential threat, but I just wasn't feeling the danger. I'm wondering if they will be more of a problem in the future as it seemed like things were being set up for more later. Even if things escalate with them, I'm not sure how much of a threat they can possibly be. Jaz is always paranoid at losing her job because it's practically her entire life. However, I don't think it would hurt her too much in the long run as she could always go "private," like a mercenary, but only for good causes. I guess will we just have to wait and see where things are heading.

Sometimes it can surprise me how much I'm enjoying a series, especially when the fifth book is as good as the first. This series isn't slowing down at all, if anything it is picking up steam. The characters are great and I can't help but to feel everything right along with them. Each new book is harder to put down than the last, and this one is no exception. Be prepared for one heck of ride with plenty of character development along the way. I cannot wait to dive into the next book to see what more trouble is in store for Jaz and the gang. Definitely a top rated Urban Fantasy series!(less)

This is the fifth book in the Jaz Parks series by Jennifer Rardin. I thought it was a good addition to the series and I really enjoyed reading it.

In this book Jaz and Vayl are sent to a Ghost Convention to stop the assassination of one of the heads of a coven in the area. Jaz's dad ends up tagging along on the mission and Cole is also part of the party. Jaz gets dragged into some interesting situations with the local demons, ghosts, and witch coven.

It would be pretty hard to top book 4 in the series (Bitten to Death) without breaking from the genre; One More Bite doesn't try. It stays firmly in the "good, fun romp" and advances the relationship(s) more than the characters, although we get a lot of very good info on the Eldhayr--the society of revenants she joined--and interact with one other than Raoul, her mentor/boss/whatever.

It just keeps getting better! I adore Jaz and Vayl, they are incredibly hot together. Here's a bit of background on the mains and supporting cast.

Jasmine is a smart, sassy, short fused, emotionally disturbed, crazy CIA agent. She feels responsible for the loss of her old team, including her fiancé, and her sister-in-law and continues to punish herself by keeping the people in her life at an arm’s length. Jaz has a little sister named Evie and a twin brother named Dave. Dave is Special Ops and Evie is the exact opposite of her family. Evie is married with a new baby girl named EJ. Jaz's childhood was rough; her father was in the military and spent much time away from home while her mother was a cruel and abusive woman...who's now in hell. Jaz is a sensitive who's died twice and was brought back by her spirit guide to help fight evil. In past missions, she's given Vayl blood twice which has increased her sensitivities, was given tears by a special other who's name I can't remember, and gave blood to a werewolf to help save his from after a silver bullet shot which has helped to open her spirit eye even further.

Vayl is a strong, controlled, intelligent, 290 year old, CIA vampire Agent, who's perfection on the eyes. Vayl lost his two boys and has been tormented by their through his entire life. He's spent his life hiring seers to help him find his reincarnated sons. When Vayl lost his boys, he didn't truly mourn their death. Between book four and five, Vayl went home to Romania and finally said goodbye to his children.

The couple has been working together for the past six months and their partnership turned into something more. Until the couple laid their past issues to rest, they couldn't more forward as a couple. They've both made progress and are now ready to be together.

The supporting cast gets better with every book. Bergman is the nerdy tech who worked on his inner strength and is no longer a cowarding wimp. Yeah Bergman. Cassandra is the sophisticated psychic who’s in love with Dave, Jaz' twin. Bergman and Cassandra are mentioned in this book but are not on the mission.

Cole is a new CIA agent, who met Jaz and Vayl in book one when he assisted the couple with a mission. Cole is a sensitive, although his powers are not as strong as Jaz' although his skill for languages cannot be beat. In this book, Jaz finally talks to Cole about his feelings for her and lets him down easily.

Albert, Jaz's father, pushed himself into this mission with a hidden agenda. Albert believes he's going to die and seeks Jaz to help save his life.

Our newest addition to the supporting cast is Jack, recently stolen and then adopted by Jaz from Edward Samos. Jack's full name is Jacket Humper due to a very funny story in the last book. His name prior to this Jack was Ziel.

This mission has multiple missions within the mission. There are ghosts, demons, witches, vampires, and sensitives. There are hearts pounding and hearts breaking, confessions of love, tears of sadness, and even a crazy mother escaped from hell. Jaz and Vayl travel to Scotland to stop an assassin from killing the leader of a coven.

This is a fabulous book and I hope you read the series. I can't wait to start on the next one.(less)

So the team is going on a trip to Scotland and they're going to have their work cut out if they want to stop the mercenary in time.

I was a little bit disappointed with the last book in this series (Bitten to Death) so I was pleased to find that things are getting back on track in One More Bite. I still missed having Cassandra and Cole in this installment, I really love it when the whole team is together so I'm hoping to see that happen in the next book. I have to admit that this was more than made up for by the fact that Albert (Jaz's dad) was with them on the mission though. He had me laughing out loud with his antics and I really enjoyed the bickering between him and Jaz. I was glad we got to find out more about Jaz's family background, things have been alluded to in the previous books but we never had too much information about why she hates her mother so much so it was good to get some clarification on that. I understand Jaz's reactions to certain things a lot better now.

I'm so relieved that things still seem to be going well between Jaz and Vayl, I was hoping for a little more relationship development but they are still slowly moving in the right direction. I was worried when I realised that Cole was going to be playing a major part in this installment, he annoyed me just from the sidelines in the last book and I really wasn't looking forward to having to put up with more of him this time. I was actually pleasantly surprised though and he didn't irritate me anywhere near as much.

The story line was well written, included a lot of humor, plenty of action and added some new supernatural elements to the series. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment.(less)

Why do I continue to read this series? Seriously. This is book five and Jaz and Vayl have STILL not gotten it on and it's starting to seem farcical. There was a moment where I thought, what ELSE could the author throw in the way of these two so that nothing ever happens? Does she not understand this relationship is the ONLY REASON anyone is reading her books? The plots are thin and uninteresting, and usually don't make any sense (especially this one).

Cue the Scooby Doo theme music…

Come on, I couldn’t resist. Ghostcon? Haunted Castles? Scotland? Witches? Hidden identities? Did I mention that there were ghosts?

All kidding aside, this is one of the funniest Jaz Parks books I have read. Jaz clearly has daddy issues and her father continues to irritate her. Albert really doesn’t have a clue as to what his daughter really does for a living. He spends a lot of time embarrassing Jaz by showing off her baby photos, telling her to fetch coffee for the team, and telling her who she should date. Albert also announces that he has been sent to observe and report on her team by the CIA’s Oversight Committee.

Albert adds a lot of comic relief to the story. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. Albert has this ability to be perceptive but still remain totally oblivious. He has no idea that Vayl is a vampire. He has no clue as to Jaz’s role on her team. He does sense that Vayl would make an ideal romantic partner for Jaz and tells her so. I also liked seeing Albert’s creative side, calling Jack the dog a seeing-eye dog when he clearly was not.

Jaz’s relationships change in this book. Cole professes his love for her in the most heartfelt way. Jaz’s hostility towards her father is tempered once she explains her abuse at the hands of her mother. Jaz realizes that she is in love with Vayl, and Vayl is in a rush to tell her father. There is a lot of verbal foreplay in this book. Something about whipped cream, a bathtub and strawberries was memorable. Too bad that the bad guys kept interrupting our lovely couple.

Jaz seems to attract the worst villains ever. I loved the ghostly Brude, a bad king with an attitude equal only to Jaz. Brude is right, he and Jaz would make a great pair as evidenced by this quote:

”And Brude shall take unto himself a queen of unsurpassed skill, strength, and beauty, whose astonishing wit will find itself outmatched by the sharpness of her tongue.”

Yup, that sounds like Jaz to me.

Other baddies included a coven of witches, assorted ghosts, and a face from the past.

Action, mystery, humor. I was thoroughly entertained by this book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Jaz, Vayl, Cole, and we can’t forget Jack, head off to Scotland and GhostCon to intercept an assassin before she can make the hit on a powerful coven leader and guess what? Jaz’s dad, Albert, is along for the ride! Which is a major buzz kill when flames finally start to ignite between Jaz and Vayl. Do some people have the worse timing or what? Then come to find out the coven leader they are suppose to protect is one evil old witch, literally, so do Jaz and Vayl want to stick with the original mission or do some improvising? Hmm…hard decision. But first they must figure out who the assassin Bea really is; the cheapskate jewelry storeowner or his disgruntled wife, the shy mute girl who survived a horrific assault, her aloof friend & interpreter, or her ghost obsessed mother? It’s like playing the game of Clue!

One More Bite is a well-written, fast-paced, character-driven plot that’s a good addition to the series. I especially like Rardin’s world building because there is not an overabundance of it, just enough to put you in that place and not get overwhelmed.
The suspense keeps you guessing because you see some points that could make these new side characters assassins, all of them have oddities, and then you see another side and you’re like, no she couldn’t do that.
Smart and funny with interesting creatures; demons, ghosts, witches and Eldhayrs (Which every time I read that I think of Charmed.)
Like I said, things start heating up between Jaz & Vayl, their relationship finally starts progressing and I would just like to say, it’s about damn time! Geesh, anticipation much! Vayl definitely gets the uber sexy on in this book; you could practically melt on the floor at his feet imagining the look on his face and his eyes. Mmm….
Cole is still sweet, funny and loveable but he seems to finally be accepting the fact that Jaz will never be his. Cassandra and Bergman are absent in this book, which was a bit disappointing because they were pretty much absent in the last one as well and I love them but I guess Rardin thought they needed a break. Maybe so they wouldn’t get old or something but I couldn’t see that happening with the way she writes, she seems to have a knack keeping all of her characters interesting.
One More Bite is filled with Rardin’s classic catchy phrases and funny one-liners like this one on page 56, “Not killing the annoying one. Some days that’s the hardest part of this gig.”

LOL scene, pg 59-60
“I just thought of a new game”
“What’s that?”
“Splat the Specter.”
“Rules?”
“You can help me make them up. Right now all I know for sure is that it involves water guns filled with grape Kool-Aid and two ferrets named Biff and Chlamydia.”
Vayl’s voice filled our ears. ‘Why ferrets?”
“Really?” I asked. “You want to know about his choice of pets when he’s named one of them after an STD?”

The ending was sweet and left you feeling good about the characters and looking forward to the next book in the series. There were also some interesting points that if you catch kind of foreshadow what’s to happen in upcoming books.

Favorite quote, pg 123 “When I bite you, it’ll be because I want to make your toes curl and your hair stand on end. And you won’t need stitched afterward. You’ll need crotches.”
