Dying for a Living by Kory M. Shrum

4.0

I am madly in love with this book. It reminded me strongly of the Stephanie Plum detective stories by Janet Evanovich, but this was so much more interesting and with more intriguing characters. Like Stephanie Plum, Jesse is snarky, sassy, and unwilling to do what she is told (in a good way). But, making her much more interesting, Jesse is also a girl recovering from a traumatic childhood, not monosexual (although never explicitly labelled by Shrum which makes it even better!), and best of all she has a really cool supernatural ability which makes her life harder instead of easier. This story was refreshing, fun, and totally engrossing! A true pleasure to read.

The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that I felt it could have been better edited in a few places--not any actual grammar errors, but shaky sentence construction and a few confusing plot sequences. (Note that I read the story on Wattpad, and I'm not sure that's the final draft.)
