Cover Launch: BITTEN IN TWO

Tough, sexy, dangerous, and a little bit crazy – that’s Jaz Parks. And Jennifer Rardin’s 7th book in the Jaz Parks series, Bitten in Two, has as much adventure and bad attitude as can fit in an urban fantasy book. For some reason I’ve noticed Jaz taking on a bit of a Joan Jett sneer in my head when I read these books – and that’s all good for me. If you haven’t started reading this series yet, I suggest picking up the first 3 at least all at once – you’ll tear through them wanting to know what happens to Jaz, her vampire boss Vayl, and her ragtag team of techno-geeks, CIA operatives, and one centuries-old prophetess. If you have been reading along with this series, then trust me, this one doesn’t disappoint.

You might recall the Behind the Scenes post I did on this cover way back when we did the photo shoot. This cover was done by the usual team of Tim Hsu + Associates (design), Michael Turek (photographer), Renee Kille, our Jaz model. Italo Vasquez-Velasquez, stylist of bad-ass ladies.

Here’s a teaser for you:

Jaz Parks here. I. Am. Pissed. Just as Vayl and I arrive in Morocco to secure an ancient artifact, he wakes up calling me by another woman’s name. And it’s not even a good one. But since any form of argument transforms him into an unholy terror, I’m forced to play along until the gang and I can figure out what kind of power has so vastly altered his perceptions.

So it’s time for me to do what any well-trained assassin in my position might do. I attack. What follows is a hair-raising, breath-taking bullet train ride to the finish as the crew battles on multiple fronts. I now know what I have to do – I must return to hell one last time.

Here’s the whole series together:

  1. I have been wanting to get into this series really badly. I was having troubles for a while figuring out the order of the books, then I found the list. Thank you for posting the books here. I am looking forward to the first book. I will have to go get it and get going with this read.

  2. [...] Orbit Books has released the cover for the next Jaz Parks novel by Jennifer Rardin.  Bitten in Two will be released November 8th. [...]

    Hey I love the Jaz Park series and I was wondering if maybe this could be turned into the movie because I think if the series was turned into a movie it would be very popular

    I am a huge fan of these books, while most girls in my middle school were swept up in the sparkly vampire fad, i was reading these books, swept up in the awe of the sheer awesomeness. i fell in love with Jaz and Vayl’s many adventures, and the sheer number of awesome fighting that knocked me clear out of the park, i can only hope that the books are made into movies, because, i will be first in line at the movies when and if they premiere!
