Three Days to Dead review


Dark, dangerous and deadly are three words that describe the world of Three Days to Dead.  Three Days to Dead is written by Kelly Meding.  It is the first in the paranormal Dreg City series.

The main character is Evangeline Stone. Three Days to Dead is written in first person in the point of view of the main character.  In this novel, Evangeline Stone dies and wakes up in the body of different women in the morgue.  She was a hunter that worked with the Triad to destroy supernatural creatures that kill.  Throughout this novel, Evy tries to discover who killed her while escaping the Triad that calls her a traitor. The Triad, believing that she killed her teammates, tries to hunt her down. With only three day to live, Evy takes you on an exciting and action- filled journey.  

Evy is a strong, dangerous, and smart woman. Even with little help, Evy is resourceful. She quickly uncovers information leading to her death and stays alive even when everyone is gunning to kill her. Evy is a powerful character used to create a realistic plotline and ending.   

The novel created a very dark and gritty atmosphere and tone. It creates a sense that everything has a dark side and highlights the dark sides of the characters and places in this novel.  Evy is haunted by her brutal death and the events leading to it. The author uses flashbacks to reveal events prior to her death.

Evy’s love interest is Wyatt. Wyatt was also in the Triad but he was a handler of the field agents. Field agents are those that actually go out and take down the rule breaking supernatural citizens.  Wyatt is the one who brought Evy back from the dead. He was not aware that she would die again after three days. He has stuck by Evy through everything. A tough, caring, and compassionate character, Wyatt, is perfect to match with the main character, Evy.  

I would recommend Three Days to Dead. I think anyone who enjoys reading about supernatural creatures, action stories, and likes some romance will enjoy this novel. The plotline was grabbing and interesting. The characters are moving and dark fitting for such a dangerous world. It is an amazing first novel to a series.
