So Jaz, Vayl and the whole gang are back in Morocco, but Vayl has been cursed and he thinks it's 1777. Which means he has no clue who anybody is, so he identifies them as the people that were around him at that time. They all have to play along, which turns out funny at times. But it's a very sad experience for Jaz.
After losing Matt she didn't want to feel alone again, but now she's lost Vayl. He won't remember who she is, misses her birthday and thinks she's his house maid Mrs. More...

When we last left our heroine Jaz Parks and her team, they were battling gnomes in Australia. In this book, Jaz and the gang are in Morocco. Their mission: Find the Rocenz, a demon hammer and chisel. Their handicap: Vayl seems to think that he is Lord Brancoveanu and the year is 1777. This leads to some rather interesting situations and puts a strain on Jaz and Vayl’s relationship.
Once again the team is assembled. Bergman is still on gadget duty. He is tinkering with Astral More...

Now that Jaz is possessed, she and Vayl have been scrambling to find a way to "cure" her. They may have found the way in an ancient artifact that is located in Morocco. They thought it would be a simple smash and grab, but someone has tampered with Vayl's memory. He wakes up with him mind way back in the past, thinking Jaz is actually his very large housekeeper. She and the rest of the gang must play along less risk his destructive rath. It is a race against the clock to save both hers

This is the 7th book in the Jaz Parks series, you do need to read previous book to understand what is going on in this book. There will be eight books total in this series with the 8th book, The Deadliest Bite, being released in June 2011. This book starts out a bit rough, but ends up being a very good addition to this series and resolves a lot of plot lines that were left hanging in the last book.

I confess, I was given this book and hadn't previously read the first six installments in the series. Still, it sounded decent and I decided to give it a try. The book does a good job of filling the reader in on where the plotline is, so I was able to enjoy the book despite being a newcomer to the series.
Yes, it's yet another urban fantasy about a butt-kicking chick and her vampire boyfriend. Aside from the general descriptor, though, it's not a carbon copy of every other similarly- More...

It kind of drives me crazy how Jennifer Rardin likes to jump you in the middle of a situation or relationship in her books. Usually she's nice and actually gives you descriptions of what has happened but I would really rather she had just started from the beginning. Sometimes that works in books but here it drives me up the wall.
But otherwise it was similar to previous books and was still entertaining. It was kind of sad too remembering the author's recent passing this year. I hear the las More...

Bitten in Two starts right where Bite Marks left off with the team going from Australia to Morocco to find the Rocenz, a demon forged tool that can reduce a creature to it’s most basic elements and the only way to free Jaz from Lucifer's Assassin Brude’s possession. The night they arrived in Marrakech though Vayl developments a weird case of amnesia that has thrown him back to 1777. He doesn’t remember the last 230 years and thinks him and his trusty servants (Jaz & Cole) are in Morocco for the

Bitten in Two picks up right where Bite Marks left off. Our team leaves Autralia and head Morocco in search of the Rocenz, the item that will help dispel Jaz's mind possessor Brude. Of course nothing goes as planned. Once they get to Morocco Vayl loses his memory and believes that he is living his life from 1777. Unlike Bite Marks I think this book handled the surprise situation well. In Bite Marks we are dealing with three situations and trying to deal with them all at the same time which made

It was alright, but I wasn't as engaged as I was on earlier books. And there didn't seem to be much forward motion to the story... it read like a bridge book. Laying the groundwork for the next book, which, I hear, wraps the overall plot for the series.

This was the second time I tried to read this book. I gave up after 50 pages. However, I am incredibly stubborn and really wanted to finish the series, so I started over again.
The book is fast-paced, but starts in the middle of a new plot twist: Vayl has lost his memory. It isn't until almost two-thirds of the way through the book he gets it back and we realize the main plot line has been ignored until then.
There is only one book left in the series, and I have loved it More...

Bitten in Two is the 7th installment of the Jaz Parks series by Jennifer Rardin. In Bitten in Two, uber-assassin Jaz Parks is tasked to find the artifact that will save her life in Morocco with her vampire partner and boss Vayl. Vayl and Jaz meet up with their team, Tech-guy Miles Bergman, and sharpshooter and ex-PI Cole, and an untrustworthy demon, Kyphas. Except this time, Vayl is part of the problem, as he is suffering from a bizarre form of amnesia, setting the team back and creating even

God, this book almost killed me!
In the beginning I found this book a bit boring and I couldn't get my head into the story... Maybe it was because of Vayl's absence? Mmmm maybe... It just was a bit difficult to understand some partss of the story, it went back and forward and back again and I was like "what the hell is happening? where the hell are we? when?" So I just put it aside till my head was a bit clearer.

The penultimate book in the series has Jaz, Vayl, Cole, and Bergman in Morocco with Kyphas. They are searching for the artifact that will allow Jaz to finally be free of Brude. Only problem is that somewhere from the time they got to Morocco and the start of the book someone cursed Vayl and he is now living back in 1777 and believes that Cole and Jaz are his housekeepers the Berggia's and that Bergman is his ward.

GENRE: Urban Fantasy
THEME: Vampires/Magic
RECEIVED: Bought
AUTHOR: Jennifer Rardin
REVIEW:
The 7th book in the Jaz Park series wasn’t my favorite but still had its kick butt action, Jazs’ sarcastic and tough girl appeal, Vayl being his charming self, and the rest of the crew dealing with the craziness that always surrounds them. I’ve been with this series since the beginning, of course, but since there was only one more book left I waited a bit to read book 7 until 8 go More...

This book left me feeling conflicted with a love-hate relationship towards it. I liked it. In some cases I really liked it but in others I found it hard to read and it left me wanting to put it down. The first part of the story was intriguing with Vayl thinking he was living in the past but it was not well introduced into the story. The reader joined the plot-line after it had already been happening for three days. This felt like I was missing something and I had to catch up. It also felt like a

Jaz and the gang are back! It's been awhile since I last read Bite Marks, so it took some time for me to get back into the swing of things in Jennifer Rardin's Bitten in Two.
The tension was just great! Seriously! As much as I sometimes hate it, I love it because I hate it. Vayl is living in the past, the year 1777 and he thinks Jaz is one of his old servants and Cole is her husband. It was quite comical, but frustrating as well, since Jaz was frustrated.

I began this book months ago and when I learned that Val had a sudden memory laps, I set it aside. I don't alway enjoy books where the main characters don't know who they are, especially in a series setting where their personallities have already been established. It always ends up feeling as if the author is wanting to write a different character than the one s/he created. Then I feel cheated. So I ignored Jaz, Val, Cole, Bergman and the new demon Kyphas.

Fire & Thud by Arctic Monkeys. Do yourselves a favor, listen to this song after you read the book. You'll understand why I'm shouting this song out as a good theme song for "Bitten in Two" (Of course there a few others but this one happened to be on my iPod while I wrote this and it was an a-ha moment)

Love of all kinds grabs every character by the balls and squeezes which didn't always end happily. Loss has always played a big part in this series but it's showcased in a new light in this one. I found Jaz's approach to not leaving Vayl even though he wasn't himself (he'd regressed to his 1777 self and viewed everyone close to him as characters from his past), possibly permanently so, very moving. Their love letters to each other were very emotional and not cheesy in the least. I appreciated he
