This is a review of the audiobook version of Three Days to Dead, narrated by Xe Sands.
Brief storyline commentary:
Three Days to dead was an enjoyable entry in the urban fantasy genre. The story focuses on Evy Stone, who wakes to find herself in a new body and must discover the chain of events that led to her death and resurrection while preventing an inter-species war.

What a great start for debut author Kelly Meding. "I don't remember the first time I died..." Gotta love the opening line!

Finally had a chance to finished; this summer cold really knocked me on my arse. Anyway I'm so thrill to have found a new UF series I can sink my teeth into. At first I kept going back like I was missing something, it just seemed like a lot information to digest in this first book, but what can I say, it has all the ingredients I like in UF book, very likable, kick ass heroine, a full of potential male lead, enough sexual tension, all kinds of supernatural creatures, and an intriguing plot.

From the moment I read this line, I knew that Evangeline and I would get along just fine.
I was hooked from the first chapter and dreaded the moments that I had to put this book down and step back into the real world.

A brilliant first chapter and an intriguing concept but this book just didn't do it for me. The story dragged and became never-ending. The outcome was completely predictable. The body count was HUGE. If I had to read this again I'd be tallying the number of bodies.
The blame game grew tiresome. Evy and Wyatt were both victims of manipulation so none of what takes place is their fault but they keep blaming themselves and each other until I just wanted to slap them.

I can't imagine waking up like Evy did and manage not to go completely crazy, but then again with her job and life it isn't all that much out of the ordinary. Evy does lead a life out of the ordinary as a hunter to protect us normal people from all the bad things that we don't believe exist.
I liked how Evy was able to piece together what happened to her as she woke up and then investigate what got her in that place in the first place. It seemed like as she encountered those people More...

One day, you're happily working as a Dreg Bounty Hunter killing supernatural rogues - trolls, vampires, goblins, etc - next thing you know you're waking up in someone else's body after being reborn again!
No, wait. That's only Evangeline - or, Evy - Stone's case.
After waking up in a cold slab on a morgue, almost giving the technician a heart attack, Evy is ready for some answers - and fast! What's going on? Why is she back in some stranger's body and why? Who did this? But More...

There were so many twists and turns, and little details that you forgot about but came back to be a really big deal. All sorts of random details ended up equalling one crazy plot. I never had this story figured out. I also liked how the beginning of every chapter (except for the few flashbacks) had the time remaining at the beginning. It kept the story in perspective and helped make the timeline believable.

The plot of this book could be summed up in about two sentences. There just isn't that much going on. The characters head from place to place following clues or memories and they uncover very little. Everyone they talk to tells them pretty much the same thing. Nothing is shocking and nothing is surprising. The romance is confusing, underdeveloped, and unbelievable. I can't find a redeeming quality in this book, and I really tried. I think the only reason I finished it is because it was recommend

The synopsis on the back of the book is a great starting discription of what the story is about. I am always a sucker for a paranormal mystery action book.
This book constantly moves forward with a lot happening. There is always some action going on or mystery detail being given, and the good guys are not always in the lead.

This book is amazing. Per the blurb for the book, Evy Stone has woken up in a dead person's body, she's been resurrected and everyone wants her dead. Written in the first person, with an interesting countdown of hours left to her at different sections, you have a sense of the passing of time and opportunity. Evy has three days to figure out what is going on, and then her time is up - again. There are quite a few twists in this story. I'm amazed at everything the Kelly Meding has come up with. Th

If I were in the heroine’s place in Kelly Meding’s Three Days to Dead, I would’ve had plenty of time to neutralize the bad guys after reading her book. That’s because I started it at 4pm on a Thursday and finished it at 5pm the next day. My family would like to point out that in those twenty-four hours they had to remind me more than once to check on the turkey in the oven and they forcibly turned off the lights after midnight.

Have you seen the movie D.O.A starring Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan or the 1950 original about a man who is poisoned and has only 24 hours to solve his own murder? It’s a great premise that unfortunately didn’t make for a great movie. Three Days to Dead operates on a similar idea with a much more successful execution.

Before the clock runs out, she has to find out to whom her new body belonged, how Evy herself died, and all the events that led up to this countdown. Extending her lifetime would be nice, too.

Then she's built a supernatural world around these creatures known as the Dregs, planting them right under the noses of humans. I found myself emotionally investing in
