Vayl has the potential to be a great vampire character, but he always seems to fall flat to me. Speaking of Vayl…I was a little disappointed in his character in this book. There was also more back story to both Cassandra and Vayl. We also had a little love story happening between Cassandra and Dave, which was very cute. In this book, Bergman changes a little and I am so looking forward to his further development as a character. Once again, I enjoyed all of Bergman’s gadgets. It was really nice having Jaz and Dave working towards a common goal. There are also all sorts of scary demons and other creatures of the paranormal world. Jaz meets Asha Vista who is also a paranormal creature, an Amanah Szeya who is like a supernatural justice system (thanks, glossary!). There are also the mahghul, a cat sized bat-like creature that appears when a death is imminent. She fights against reavers, a kind of creature that steals souls and transports them to hell. I do enjoy the originality of this series. Most of the cars looked like they’d become classics a decade ago, and while the men who crowded past us wore typical Western clothes, the women-well, they reminded me of depressed ghosts. Rardin captures the war torn country well through some of Jaz’s impressions: I found the portrayal of Iran to be realistic. In the meantime, the combined team must also deal with a mole and some very difficult working situations in Iran. Jaz must find a character named the Wizard and dispose of him.
They are joined by Jaz’s twin Dave and his special ops team. In Biting the Bullet, Jaz and her team are on special assignment in Tehran.
BITING THE BULLET QUOTES TV
It kind of reminds me of the TV show Alias and I really liked that show. *Update 3/4/12 - this link no longer works.Įven though I was confused, I did enjoy this installment of the Jaz Parks series. Be forewarned that the glossary may contain spoilers to later books – so consider yourselves warned.
For those of you who are interested, here is the link for that glossary. I read through it and suddenly, I was not so lost. I decided to take a look at the author’s website and lo and behold there was a handy dandy glossary of terms and names. I noticed that at times, I felt a little confused while reading this book and this confusion may have lessened my enjoyment. Be forewarned that the I took a look at my status updates before I sat down to write this review. I took a look at my status updates before I sat down to write this review. Oh yeah, and let's not forget the army of demonic, soul-sucking parasites either. To add to our problems, we're being harried by a pack of reavers bent on revenge, and targeted by a Seer who wants to share Vayl's power - at any cost.
At least not since Vayl and I learned part of our job is to ferret out a mole concealed in our unit. We've never gone in with such heavy artillery before, but the more the merrier, right? Um. We're joining a Special Ops team to nail the Wizard, a major terrorist thorn in the military's side. It's not our usual take them out and run it's an undercover mission that needs the whole gang: a psychic, an interpreter, and a weapons specialist. This is a mission unlike anything my vampire boss, Vayl, and I have ever been on.
