Publisher Description
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, Jesse 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 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.

Customer Reviews
A Well Paced, Fun Contemporary Fantasy.
This is a really clever premise: someone who can die so that someone else doesn’t have to then come back to life a few days later. It was partially that, and having read some of the author's other work, that drew me in. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way that keep the reader wondering what might happen next. The characters are all interesting even if some are a mystery for the most part, something I assume we’ll get answers to later. It is a well paced, fun contemporary fantasy. Jesse, the girl that dies for a living, is certainly my favourite of the characters and I think this mainly because I can relate to her sense of humour and excellent use of sarcasm. For me this is a good book, not quite great, but most certainly good enough that I’m hooked on finding out what happens to Jesse in the following books.
Very Good
