Narrative During Books Scouting Jasmine (Jaz Parks #0.5)
Vayl has decided that he wants Jasmine Parks as his new CIA partner. He takes the opportunity to spy on her as she takes on a vampire nest alone. He is shocked by her reckless methods, intrigued by her inventive plans and finds her physically attractive. He also finds that being in the vicinity while she hunts vampires is dangerous to his own health.This was a good short story. We see Vayl in stalker mode, admiring Jasmine and plotting how to make the CIA give her to him as a new partner. The more he watches, the more he becomes nervous that she is going to get herself killed with her crazy stunts and barmy plans. He keeps getting close enough to intervene while masking his appearance but Jaz can sense him and nearly kills him. It feels a bit like a slapstick film at times with Vayl hovering like an expectant father and trying not to get killed.
We also see how much trauma Jaz is still carrying from Matt's recent death, operating almost with a death wish. It gives an insight as to how Vayl's influence has helped her get back on track to be less suicidal by the time we meet them both in the first novel of the series. I liked this because it does add something to the series and it was fun to see things from Vayl's POV.

disappointed, this really was a chapter that had been cut from a book, not a short storyJust a short little read to introduce Jaz and show how much of a badass she is.
The story of Vayl's first impressions of Jasmine, where he is following her around in one of her jobs to see if she would be a good partner for him.It's been years since I last read a book from the series and I can't remember why I never got to finish it, but this short story might be the push I needed to finally get to the remaining books. For now, I'll refresh my memory about Jasmine's world by reading the next short story, The Golem Hunt.

A fun little vignette set about six months before the beginning of the series, shows us what our main character is like without the filter of her own perceptions. Her, at this point, future love interest is watching her do her job, and trying to decide whether or not she's too damaged by recent events (no spoilers, just in case) to continue working in this particular field (supernatural assassination). I think that the point about not seeing this story through Jaz's POV is very important,
Scouting Jasmine is a fun prequel for fans of the Jaz Parks series. It's written from Vayl's POV and it's a great insight into his character and hints at why he decided to team up with Jasmine. It's a very short and quick read, but I wouldn't actually recommend reading it first if you are new to the series. Though it's a prequel, it gives a bit of the main story points away and is better read after the first three books.
3.5 but I enjoyed seeing Jaz from Vayl's perspective I am rating it up.
4.5 stars. This is my favorite of her books so far. I read this second although it takes place before the first book. I think I liked this book the best because it is from Vayl's perspective. Jaz has to mush ADD for me to follow her all the time. Warning it is a VERY short story....
