Dying for a Living by Kory M. Shrum

4.0

This was a book I got for free on amazon for my kindle. It's the start of a new series, the jesse sullivan series. in this series in the near future, it's been discovered that some people come back to life after they die, and they can actually die for other people. naturally, this has caused some fear and intolerance amongst the rest of the people. jesse (who is a girl despite the spelling of her name) is a necronite who is dealing with her own inner demons having to do with her past, her family, and emotional issues. she's in a love triangle between her old best friend, now assistant allie and her possible new boyfriend. (i'm kinda rooting for allie...) not to mention that she's being accused of murder! there's a whole conspiracy thing and this first book sets the whole series up well, without being too setting up boring. The book got better as it went along and by the end i wished i had the next one to start on. If you're looking for a new type of series try this one. It's sort of zombies, but not, and more of a sci fi, not quite young adult (since she's in her 20s and older than a normal ya novel) type thing. very unique!
