Death Blows
FBI profiler Jace Valchek was pulled into this parallel realm to hunt for Aristotle Stoker, a human serial killer who preys on vampires and werewolves. Now she works for the National Security Agency of the Unnatural States of America--and her boss is a vampire.
At a bizarre crime scene, Jace finds a bloodsucker murdered by magic, fried to the bone and dressed in the costume of the comic book hero the Flash--a character who isn't supposed to exist here. Comic books have been outlawed for their powers, including crossover spells like the one that transported Jace to this world. Soon, she's following a trail of dead bodies into the sinister underworld of black-market comics--where a deranged madman gives new meaning to the term super-villain...

Review: Mar 7, 2010
Death Blows is the sequel to Dying Bites and these definitely have to be read in order. Jace Valchek, FBI profiler and recent transfer to a parallel universe where werewolves, vampires, and magic exists, is trying to track down Aristotle Stoker in order to fulfill her contract with the government. If she gets her man, she gets to be sent back to her own reality. If not, she gets to settle in permanently in th
Dying Bites
Introducing the bold new Bloodhound Files series—and a novel that will knock you out of this world…
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…
DYING BITES
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…

Special Agent Jace Valechek is having a really bad day, no make that a freaky, where the heck am I kinda day. Sucked from her reality into a parallel universe is weird enough. Add in the fact that vamps, werewolves, golems, and magic exist and humans are a minority and you need a serious reality check. Jace was chosen by the vampire head of the NSA to help them catch a serial killer, someone targeting vamps a
