Once Dead, Twice Shy
Madison Avery Trilogy Book One
By Kim Harrison
On the night Madison was attending
her prom, she hooked up with a guy who was not her date, left with him, and
then he killed her. It turns out the guy was a reaper, and before he could take
her soul she snatched his amulet which has allowed her to appear normal, well
as normal as a girl with purple hair and skull earrings can be. Now she is
determined to get her body back and put an end to her curse once and for all.
I picked up this book from the online
library that I frequent because it sounded interesting and I have read some of
Kim Harrison’s work in the past, The Hollow Series. I didn’t anticipate how
much fun this book would turn out to be, the main character for instance was
one of a kind with a quirky sense of humor and struggling to be happy with whom
she is, quickly becoming a highly relatable and entertaining character. It only
took me a couple of hours to read this book, the audio version is only six
hours long, making this a quick and enjoyable read when you have a couple of
hours to kill. The only problem I had was that this trilogy started with a
short story in Prom Nights From Hell anthology, I have not read this book and I
didn’t realize this walking into it, so the Novel picks up right away from
where the short story left off (or so it seems) though the author does a
brilliant job in catching you up after a while the beginning is a bit
confusing. Making in a re-print the publisher will add in the short story,
fingers crossed!
