MARTINA'S LIST - SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE - 10/10 - FINISHED! YAY! :-)

In the wee hours of this morning I finished Bitten to Death (Jaz Parks, #4) by Jennifer Rardin (★★★★). I chose this book just a few days ago after hearing about the unexpected death of the author this past Monday, Sept 20. Jennifer, your fans will sorely miss you! Rest in peace.

The series is urban fantasy with enough simmering, teasing sexual tension to keep us PNR lovers happy. Jaz is a special agent for a paranormal division of the government. Not too long ago a mission went very badly - Jaz died but came back with strange new powers. Now she's working in an even more secret division as a paranormal assassin. Her partner is Vayl, a sexy vampire with plenty of secrets of his own.

In this particular book, Jaz & Vayl are in Greece to infiltrate a vampire clan (called a "Trust") of which Vayl used to be a member. Their mission is thrown into chaos and their lives into danger when they arrive to find that their contact and the leader of the Trust is dead and the new leader has an agenda of her own.

I very much enjoyed this book! I loved that the book's plot revealed a lot of Vayl's history which in turn opened up a lot more of the overarching series plot and therefore also the romantic plot between Jaz & Vayl. I've already got #5 of my TBR shelves and will be sure to read it soon!

BTW, for those wondering, Jennifer did finish this series. Book #7 will be released in November with #8 following in summer 2011.

9/10 Done

I blame Outlander!! It took me a whole week just to read the massive book. Now it was a worthwhile experiance but it didn't leave much time for the rest. Probably should have saved it for a 31 day month. Oh well.
Sad thing is that I special ordered Masques and it came on time and everything.

I have a remodel going on and it seems to have stolen all my energy and my free time! Well, that and one of my books was due at the library and couldn't be renewed, another expired from my nook and couldn't be renewed and the last one never caught my interest. Oh, and I started class this last week. After all that I'm surprised I finished 7!
