Dying for a Living

Written by Kory M. Shrum

Narrated by Hollie Jackson

And you thought dying once would be hard...

On the morning before her 67th death, it is business as usual for agent Jesse Sullivan: meet with the mortician, counsel soon-to-be-dead clients, and have coffee while reading the latest regeneration theory. Jesse dies for a living, literally. Because of a neurological disorder, she is one of the rare people who can serve as a death surrogate, dying so others don't have to.

Although each death replacement is different, the result is the same: a life is saved, and Jesse resurrects days later with sore muscles, new scars, and another hole in her memory. But when Jesse is murdered and becomes the sole suspect in a federal investigation, more than her freedom and sanity are at stake. She must catch the killer herself--or die trying.

Dying for a Living is the first book in Kory M. Shrum's gripping contemporary fantasy series. If you like page-turning action, tough as nails heroines, and perfectly-paced suspense, then you'll love this "hilarious" and "supernaturally fantastic" ride.

Reviews for Dying for a Living

[Jennifer Goddard · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Main character is portrayed as way to stupid. It was annoying how she overthinks everything with a stupid self absorbed mentality. Other than the predictable story line and crap main character the story idea is good and the only reason I finished it.
