DD Barant launches The Bloodhound Files with Dying Bites—a "fresh and original take on urban fantasy" (Romantic Times) with a heroine who's "remarkable, strong-willed and smart" (Publishers Weekly).Her job description is the "tracking and apprehension of mentally-fractured killers." What this really means in FBI profiler Jace Valchek's brave new world-one in which only one percent of the population is human is that a woman's work is never done. And real is getting stranger every day…Jace has been ripped from her reality by David Cassius, the vampire head of the NSA. He knows that she's the best there in the business, and David needs her help in solving a series of gruesome murders of vampires and werewolves. David's world—one that also includes lycanthropes and golems—is one with little knowledge of mental illness. An insane serial killer is a threat the NSA has no experience with. But Jace does. Stranded in a reality where Bela Lugosi is a bigger box office draw than Bruce Willis and every full moon is Mardi Gras, Jace must now hunt down a fellow human before he brings the entire planet to the brink of madness. Or she may never see her own world again…

~~Moved from GR~~ Dying Bites by DD Barant Recommended to Carly by: library availability. When will I learn? Recommended for: UF lovers who really, really don't mind plotholes. Gotta say, I'm impressed: this contains the shoddiest, most illogical worldbuilding I have so far encountered. Congra...
Jace Valchek is taken from this world and brought into a world where normal humanity are rare, where vampires and werewolves are quite common. Jace is an FBI profiler and is brought to investigate killings, a serial killer who appears to be human, is killing supernaturals in very particular places....
I really loved the concept of this book, and I was 100% on board until about the last third when the author took a hard left turn from where I expected it to go. The ACTUAL direction the book went wasn't bad, was a mostly satisfying ending, but was definitely dissonant from my expectations. I like...
