Dying Bites - Give-Away

Dying Bites: The Bloodhound Files by D. D. Barant

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…


For some weird reason, I managed to snag two ARCs of this to review. So I'm going to give the other one away! Entering is easy!! US & Canada Only

5 -

Thanks to DD - we have another ARC to give-Away!! Thanks DD!!

DDBarant said...Wow, you all seem really excited about this book . . . which I find incredibly flattering and humbling and all sorts of other ings. But only one copy? Doesn't seem fair, with seventy people signed up. So I'm going to throw in another advance copy (I'd add more, but that's all I have left at the moment) sign it to whoever wins (that's up to Wendy) and mail it to you. 'Cause both Jace and I appreciate the support.
