Death Blows The Bloodhound Files edition by DD Barant Romance eBooks

Death Blows by DD Barant is the second book in The Bloodhound Files. If you are not familiar with the series, it is a good, fun, urban fantasy with a twist: monsters (such as vampires, werewolves, and golems) exist in alternative worlds, and the heroine, Jace, is pulled into one of those worlds. Jace has been deliberately brought into the alternate universe because of her skills. She is a serial killer profiler and the alternate universe needs her expertise to solve a case. It is a very well done cross-over of two of my favorite genres (detective/profiler and urban fantasy). The combination makes the story unique and fresh, and the characters make the story captivating.

The heroine, Jace, is a complex character; she is somewhat jaded, irreverent, and sarcastic. She lives to work and deals with her stressful job by laughing it off. She doesn't have much of a social life since a very acrimonious & painful split with her boyfriend. She has a hard time adjusting to being uprooted from her universe and dropped into another one, but gets caught up in the case and begins to adapt. She is helped by a vampire colleague Gretchen, a Golem bodyguard Charlie (who is a wonderful character and a perfect balance to Jace), and the dishy werewolf Dr. Pete. The supporting cast are all complex & authentic characters. Jace herself is completely believable, likeable, and fun -- she struck me as a cross between Kate Daniels and Clarice Starling. The world-building is detailed, consistent; the author has created a very interesting world in which I hope to spend more time.

In book two, Jace continues to hunt for Aristotle Stoker, a human rights advocate / serial killer who preys on vampires and werewolves. In addition, she is pulled into a bizarre case where victims are posed as comic book heroes (from her world?) after death. Good fun.

Death Blows The Bloodhound Files edition by DD Barant Romance eBooks Reviews

This is the third book in the Bloodhound series. And they are consistently getting better.

Awesome book. Constant action, More plot twists than a plate full of spaghetti, but very cogent. Maybe you can tell, I loved this book. Like the series as well.

Don't read these books out of order, (If you do, go back and review them before continuing.) Don't skip around in this book you will get lost!

Could barely put this book down for the pesky things in life we all need to do eating, sleeping, working. I really enjoy the characters and I enjoy the process of them becoming a family Jace, Charlie, Tair/Peter, Cassius, Eisfanger, Gretchen, and now Azura.

Looking forward to the fourth installment.
This book was a chore to get through. In addition to vampires, werewolves and golems we get superheroes. I love superhero movies and the Bigtime Series by Jennifer Estep - very cute superhero series. This book, not so much. It was an OVERLOAD of information. It was just too much! You get a lecture of time/space continuum and comic (or kamic) books, both in this world and the "real world."

Turns out **spoiler alert** one of the main characters actually turns out to BE a superhero. Now what? Is he going to break out the spandex (or in this case sunlight armor) in the rest of the series? Or are we just supposed to forget about it and move on. It's only two books in and already it much to complicated.

On a positive note I do love the interaction between Charlie and Jace. They would make a cute couple except the fact that he's a golem with no genitalia. UGH!

I'm SO disappointed because this series has the potential to be good. I was kind of hoping for an alternate reality version of Jace to turn out to be the bad guy and she had to hunt herself - that would've been cool. Instead what I got was just a mess. Oh, and not to mention the breeding of "pires" and "thropes" to produce political alliances. (Catherine Shaka aka African Queen - Catherine the Great and Shaka Zulu, John Dark aka John Tamerlane D'arc - a Turkish conqueror and Joan of Arc, and Sheldon Vincent aka Shelley da Vinci - Mary Shelley and Leonardo da Vinci.) As if there weren't enough (underdeveloped) characters she changes monikers frequently. One paragraph he's "Vincent" then he's "DaVinci" and then back to "Vincent" again. I gave up on trying to figure out who was who.
