Books From The Backlog-Bloodhound Files


Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf.  You might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. Go to Carole's blog and add your blog post link in to join in the fun! Hosted by Carole at https://carolesrandomlife.blogspot.co.uk/

This seems like a fun feature and I have been planning to take part since Carole launched this so at last, here we go! I have a TON of unread books to choose from in various genres and I'm looking forward to sharing some of them with everybody. 


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…


I bought this book in 2010, read it back in 2011 and loved it, giving it 5 stars. This was during my daft phase of 'try every book one you have but don't complete any of the series!' now I really want to read the whole series so I'm featuring it as my Backlog choice this week! Next year I plan to catch up with a lot of short series like this so hopefully they won't go unread for much longer!

  2. I love your 'try every book one you have but don't complete any of the series!' idea. Sounds like my kinda reading style!

    1. It seemed like a good idea at the time until I realised that I was going to have to go back and reread them all years later so I can catch up with series!

  3. The blurb certainly has my attention.

    Oh man, yes,I have so many I started a series and didn't get back to it even though I wanted to. Good plan for the new year.

    1. I'm always full of plans that I never follow through on! But I do need to clear space on the physical bookshelves AND clear out the ereaders!

  5. I listened to the first book in the series and thought it was okay. It did have a really interesting premise. I hope you enjoy the whole series when you get the chance to read it.

    1. I need to concentrate on getting these shorter series dealt with, or series where I have a couple of books to catch up with!
