Evangeline Stone is a dreg hunter working for a secret
government agency fighting against the things that go bump
in the night. Or at least she was, until she woke up in the
morgue in someone else's body. Now Evy has to find out why
and how she died in order to find the real reasons behind
the events, but the last thing she remembers happened well
before the events that caused her to take what should have
been her last breath.
Wyatt Truman is the handler, or supervisor, of the Triad
that Evy is a part of. Their team has been together for
years until death finds a way of bringing everything
crashing down around them. As Wyatt helps Evy recover her
memory to be able to hunt down her killers, she also learns
that there may be more between them than she initially
thought. Not to mention the deal he made to bring her back
and his reasons for doing so. Unfortunately they still have
to fight to keep an alliance between vampires and goblins
from happening to insure the survival of the human race.
One catch, can they do it all in three days?
Kelly Meding takes a new approach to Urban Fantasy in THREE
DAYS TO DEAD. The concept of the story was great with some
interesting twists in the plot. The unique characters were
interesting to learn about. I really liked the fact that
Evy wasn't perfect, having to struggle with her 'new' body
and emotions, and that Wyatt wasn't the usual alpha male but
a normal guy with some interesting abilities. It was a
little slow moving at times due to the world building but
overall a good read. I'm curious to see what happens in the
next installment of The Dreg City Series.
When Evangeline
Stone wakes up naked and bruised on a cold slab at the
morgue—in a stranger’s body, with no memory of who she is
and how she got there—her troubles are only just beginning.
Before that night she and the two other members of her Triad
were the city’s star bounty hunters, mercilessly cleansing
the city of the murderous creatures living in the shadows,
from vampires to shape-shifters to trolls. Then something
terrible happened that not only cost all three of them their
lives but also convinced the city’s other Hunters that Evy
was a traitor—and she can’t even remember what it
was.
Now she’s a fugitive, piecing together her
memory, trying to deal some serious justice—and discovering
that she has only three days to solve her own murder before
the reincarnation spell wears off. Because in three days Evy
will die again—but this time there’s no second chance. . . .
