Characters edit see section history

• Jasmine "Jaz" Parks: Main character; Born: May 14, 1982, Works for CIA with Vayl as assassin. Birthplace: Fuji-Yoshida, Japan, B.S. in Supernatural Criminology with Leadership Specialty from the University of Illinois, Graduated summa cum laude, Fifth degree black belt in taekwondo. Advanced training in aikido, southern Shaolin style kung fu, ju-jitsu and mystic fong chen. Expert sharpshooter. Ability to detect vampires without first seeing them. Cannot be hyponotized by same. Also somewhat immune to vampiric powers in general, making me an ideal candidate to assassinate the undead. Ability to react quickly in fluid situations where flexibility and clear thinking under pressure are required.

Quotes edit see section history

• “Vayl... I'm not asking you to eat me.”

  Jasmine Parks

• “I wrinkled my nose at the color. Something about pink makes my stomach churn. Maybe it's the resemblance to Pepto Bismol.”

  Jasmine Parks

• “Look, Vayl, we've got a really big night ahead of us. Can't we just agree that I'm a cretin and you're a snob and move on?”

  Jasmine Parks

• “What is this optimistic talk I hear coming from your mouth?" Vayl asked. "Are you Jasmine's evil clone, come to lull me into fluffy white thoughts so you can stake me in my sleep?”

  Vayl

• “What is it about the people who know you best? You never reveal to them the secret location of your make-me-crazy buttons and yet, like toddlers at preschool, they root them out and push them again and again and again.”

  Jasmine Parks

• “Whatever happened to 'Hey, how are you?' 'Long time, no see.' Apparently you don't have to observe the rules of etiquette when reuniting with a murderous spouse.”

  Jasmine Parks

• “Somewhere nearby a meteorologist had flipped out because the temperature had just plunged from 59 to oh-crap-cover-the-oranges.”

  Jasmine Parks

• “With friends like me, there really is no need for enemies.”

  Jasmine Parks

• “What is the source of your evil grin?”

  Vayl

• “"With Bergman bristling like an irritated land baron and Cassandra throwing off bad vibes like a cornered gunslinger, it looked like we were about to have a good old-fashioned bar fight.”

  Jasmine Parks

• “Easy is for fools and the truly dead, Jasmine. Remember that.”

  Vayl
