He's supposed to be super-hot and I'm sure the overall arc of the series will have him and Jaz becoming a couple, but he is almost totally uninteresting, and seems to drop out of the books totally for long segments. In fact, he generally seems to work at her direction. Also, Jaz seems incapable of going more than a few pages without calling Vayl her 'boss', but he does virtually nothing in planning team operations. There is no way either he or Cassandra would be allowed on missions - much less to supply equipment directly to agents in the field. I also don't believe in her team, particularly in her 'Q', Bergman, who doesn't even officially work for the agency. This is especially true since one of the nicer aspect of the books is an uncomplicated 'we are the good guys' stance. Jaz should at least establish that the rule doesn't exist in her world or that she's aware they are breaking it for 'the greater good'. Cynics believe that that rule is broken, but it is the rule. Now the CIA in our world is strictly forbidden from working in the US. Jaz is a CIA assassin who often works in the US. I'm thinking in particualr of the Portals, and of actually visiting Raoul. This story also pulls several other concepts out of the author's hat simply because she felt she needed them, not because they made sense. Both the depiction of hell and the invention of Reavers to be bad guys without any definite theological underpinnings seem designed more to avoid offending believers of any stripe than for telling a good story. In this book not only do we have Reavers, but Jaz goes to Hell, and we are again left totally without a clue as to how her Hell relates to any religion, if it does at all. Is Jaz's world's Iran some *other* kind of woman hating theocracy? If so, what kind?' This would seem like important information! In book two, we are introduced to Reavers - mystical bad guys who seem invented for poorly thought out reasons and who don't make much sense. Obviously, this would not be tolerated in our Iran, and then you realize: 'hmm, Islam has never been mentioned. Apparently Iran in her world is still a nasty, woman-debasing theocracy, but when just when you think you have the general picture, Jaz stumbles into a pagan goddess's temple in the middle of Tehran. In this book, Jaz spends most of her time in Iran. That's fine, but apparently there are other differences too, which we can't guess, and which we aren't told about.

We're in a world very much like ours except magic works, there are vampires, witches and the standard Urban Fantasy types. Here are some of the problems I have with the series in general and with this book in particular.

I thought the first one was average, the second so-so and this one sub-par. OK, I've now read the first three Jaz Parks books, which I bought sight unseen pretty much on the concept alone, and I have to say I should have bought just the first one and then thought about it.
