About this ebook

This boxset includes all seven of the Dying for a Living novels: Dying for a Living, Dying by the Hour, Dying for Her, Dying Light, Worth Dying For, Dying Breath, and Dying Day.

Called "smart, imaginative, and insanely addictive" by New York Times bestseller Darynda Jones, this urban fantasy thrill ride is perfect for fans of Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, and Chloe Neill.

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 population's rare 2% 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.

And that was only the beginning...

Ratings and reviews

To be honest, this is the first review that I have ever left for a book, but enjoyed this series so much that I felt a need to share my views. This was a fabulous box set which is well written and hugely enjoyable to read. Loved the characters and storyline so much that I read the whole box set (one book straight after the next) . This is a rarity for me as I often get bored or fed up with the same characters, and switch from one author to another. I would recommend all if these books to anyone looking for a bit of escapism after a long day.

Fascinating. I could not stop reading. I absolutely had to know what happened to Jesse, Ally, and others. I loved the idea behind the story, found myself enthralled with the characters. The author did an excellent job of allowing the story to speak for itself. I don't typically read series novels, but this one was awesome.

great series but i need help i'm still reading book one but it's jumped to books 4-7 don't know how to get back to where i was i don't know what to do
