Vampires, lycanthropes, golems, and other creatures who make up 99% of the population-these are the characters who fill FBI profiler Jace Valchek's days. And just when she thinks life is starting to seem "normal," Jace finds herself in a whole new world of trouble.
Another work day, another case for the Bloodhound Files. But this time, Jace is truly stumped: How is she, a mere human, supposed to penetrate the dark heart of a child-trafficking ring of pire orphans-one that turns out to be part of a blood-farm operation, in the crime-ridden border city of Vancouver, British Columbia?
Jace is in over her head. But with the help of her former lover, Tanaka-whose family is one of the last samurai clans left in Japan-she stands a chance at seeking justice for the condemned children... Until the Yakuza tries to put an end to Jace's investigation. Jace risks more than death-this time, it's the fate of her very soul that's in danger ...
"Snappy writing, a page-turning story and fresh world-building make Dying Bites a satisfying meal of a book."
Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author of Men of the Otherworld and The Awake
"Dying Bites is wacky, unpredictable, fresh and amazing. I would kill to write as well as D.D. Barant. Seriously."
Nancy Holder, author of Pretty Little Devils
"Jace Valchek is gaining quite the rep in several universes as Barant provides readers with the next kick-ass installment of The Bloodhound Files. Her in-our-face sass keeps her opponents off guard and her fans grinning. Barant continues to shine with a series that deftly combines wacky humor and grave danger. Great stuff!"
