Been there. Done that. Evy Stone is a former Dreg Bounty Hunter who died and came back to life with some extraordinary powers. Now all but five people in the world think she is dead again, this time for good—immolated in a factory fire set specifically for her. Evy and Wyatt, her partner/lover/friend, can no longer trust their former allies, or even the highest echelons of the Triads—the army of fighters holding back from an unsuspecting public a tide of quarreling, otherworldly creatures—they can trust only each other. Because when the Triads raided a macabre, monster-filled lab of science experiments and hauled away the remnants, they failed to capture their creator: a brilliant, vampire-obsessed scientist with a wealth of powerful, anti-Dreg weaponry to trade for what he desires most of all—Evy Stone: alive and well, and the key to his ultimate experiment in mad science.

*NO Spoilers
Kelly has done it again and delivered an awesome Urban Fantasy novel in this installment of her Dreg City series. I love how she has built up her world and characters and I find it that is impossible to get emotionally involved with Evy’s plea.
I mean, three books into this series and Evy does. not. get. a. freaking. break.! Don’t get me wrong, it all makes for a heart stopping story after another, but man she goes through hell after heel in these books and from the way things keep going I don’t really see a break in sight.
In Another Kind of Dead, Evy once again is in the spotlight and NOT in a good way. People are still trying or to kill her or use her, however she has built quite a little group of friends and people she can trust, something that she didn’t really have before.
There is a lot of Wyatt goodness in this novel and I for one love it! I think Evy and Wyatt are a great couple, not an easy HEA for sure, but definitely something to hope for. Phin is also back in this novel along with a series of secondary characters that make this series that much richer.
We also get a couple flashbacks and with them we get a chance to learn more about Evy’s and Evy and Wyatt’s past. I LOVED that!
All in all Kelly Meding does a brilliant job with Another Kind of Dead. Some series might start to fizzle and lose ground by book 3, but this definitely not the case and I have the suspicion that she is just getting started and I can’t wait to go along for the ride!

Great review :) I am glad this series continue to rock
Yay for mad scientists! Don't know why, but something about that trope in paranormals always makes me smile. I haven't read anything in this series as of yet, but I may just have to rectify that. Thanks for the rec!
Smiles!
