Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact she's probably the last witch in the world you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand, regardless of her actual abilities. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa, where she could watch TV, munch junk food, and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content. However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch.
Vampyres don't exist. They absolutely do not exist. At least I didn't think they did 'til I tried to quit smoking and ended up Undead. Who in the hell did I screw over in a former life that my getting healthy equates with dead? Now I'm a Vampyre. Yes, we exist whether we want to or not. However, I have to admit, the perks aren't bad. My girls no longer jiggle, my ass is higher than a kite, and the latest Prada keeps finding its way to my wardrobe.
Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse - her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her. Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn't mean he can change his fate, no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy.
The entire Karma series.
For years now, Scarlett Bernard has counted on two things: her ability to nullify magic, and Shadow, the bargest who guards Scarlett with her life. But after a sudden revelation turns Scarlett's world upside down, she panics and leaves town without warning, leaving Shadow with her partner, Jesse. In the chaos that follows, the bargest is stolen - and Jesse nearly dies from a brutal psychic assault. It seems that an old enemy has returned for revenge...and the attack on Shadow was only the beginning.
I knew the sins of my past would call to collect what was left of my soul. If I'd known the price I'd pay, I would've sacrificed more to stay hidden from the magic. In the middle of Wyoming - away from the abnormals of the world - I thought I was free and clear. I started a new life. Found a love I'd never known in a husband, and a son who was my everything. And in a blinding instant, that life was stolen from me.
When LA’s vampires, witches, and werewolves make a mess, they call Scarlett Bernard to clean it up. Her ability as a null erases all magical traces from anything — or anyone — that comes within ten feet of her, and keeps humans in the dark about the city’s paranormal activity. One night when she’s called to a grisly crime scene, Scarlett is spied by the all-too-human LAPD cop Jesse Cruz, who strikes up a deal with her: he’ll keep quiet about the supernatural underworld if she helps him crack the case. She agrees, but the city’s chief vampire, Dash, starts to suspect Scarlett is behind the murders and will reveal all she knows of his shadowy empire. Now it’ll take more than Scarlett’s unique abilities to clear her name, keep the underworld underground, and track down the real killer.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
YES, yes ... a thousand times, YES!
I'd also recommend all the Jesse Sullivan books ... because they go together and should be listened to or read in order
This one though was very exciting.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jesse is always my favorite ... I LOVE HER!
she is sarcastic and witty and always getting herself into situations where her wit and sarcasm won't help her one bit!
She's also a great friend and despite her past hurts she's caring and loving
Rachel and Gideon are pretty cool too
What about Hollie Jackson’s performance did you like?
I love Hollie Jackson ..she really brings characters to life
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Winston's death ... I can't say more
What made the experience of listening to Dying Light the most enjoyable?
The distinct interaction between the characters is what made the audio book so enjoyable. I have read it but loved the audible version even more.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dying Light?
When Jesse has to trust herself more than her angel while escaping the needle that she can save all of them.
Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is a great example of her brilliant way to bring inflections into the characters allowing them to be heard separately even when the two characters are having a conversation.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The hunt is over,let the games begin.
Any additional comments?
This was a very enjoyable listen. I read the book several times before this and still found it amazing and full of the same thrills I felt during my first reading.
