Madison Avery was, for some reason, the target of a dark reaper, who wanted to destroy her, body and soul. Madison stole the reaper's amulet and escaped. The amulet gives Madison the illusion of a body, but she's really dead, toeing the line between life and death. The dark reaper is still after her, so with the help of a light reaper, her guardian angel, and possible boyfriend, Madison sets out to stop the dark reaper before it's too late.

Once Dead, Twice Shy was an exciting, well written, and unique book. When I first read what this book was about I thought it sounded really stupid. One chapter later, and I was hooked. Kim Harrison took what could have been the worst book ever and made it something great. Fans of The Summoning, Evermore, and Need will definitely enjoy this book.
