Reading up on what to do if you encounter a bear is not something I thought I needed to do, but after this weekend apparently it is. This past weekend we went to Lake Tahoe with another family to enjoy the mountains, do a little bike riding and relax. It was on Sunday early evening, with the sun still shining, that I took a few of the kids for a walk around the neighborhood. It was a quick walk and we returned safe and sound. It was an hour later that the neighbor came knocking on our door, wanting to be sure that all the kids were inside, and warn us of a bear walking around our yard. Looking out the window we could see a massive black near sniffing around looking for goodies. HOLY POOP!!! I hate sharks. I really really hate sharks. I don’t want to be eaten by a shark, so I stay out of the water. I have a plan for sharks. I do not have a plan for bears. I need a plan for bears.

On the morning before her 67th death, it is business as usual for 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. As a Necronite, she is one of the population’s rare 2% who can serve as a death replacement agent, dying so others don’t have to. Although each death 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.

Called “addictive” by New York Times bestseller Darynda Jones, this book is perfect for fans of sarcastic heroines surrounded by loyal friends, and stories with enough action and intrigue to keep you turning the page.
