Once Dead, Twice Shy

De: Kim Harrison

Narrado por: Mandy Siegfried

My name is Madison Avery, and I'm here to tell you that there's more out there than you can see, hear, or touch. Because I'm there. Seeing it. Touching it. Living it.

Madison's prom was killer—literally. For some reason she's been targeted by a dark reaper—yeah, that kind of reaper—intent on getting rid of her, body and soul. But before the reaper could finish the job, Madison was able to snag his strange, glowing amulet and get away.

Now she's stuck on Earth—dead but not gone. Somehow the amulet gives her the illusion of a body, allowing her to toe the line between life and death. She still doesn't know why the dark reaper is after her, but she's not about to just sit around and let fate take its course.

With a little ingenuity, some light-bending, and the help of a light reaper (one of the good guys! Maybe . . . ), her cute crush, and oh yeah, her guardian angel, Madison's ready to take control of her own destiny once and for all, before it takes control of her.

Well, if she believed in that stuff.

a must read book

I enjoyed this book very much. kept me wanting more. I suggest this book to others.

Good book for high school/college aged listeners

Where does Once Dead, Twice Shy rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

It was entertaining, but easy to put down. The teenage angst is too long ago for me. ;-)

Have you listened to any of Mandy Siegfried???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The narrator did a great job.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me giggle out loud more than once. Pretty funny, I'm just not the right demographic for this one.

THIS BOOK WAS JUST OK KIND OF BORING

I JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THE WHOLE TRILOGY AND IT WASNT AS GOOD AS I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE. THE CHARACTERS WERE FINE BUT THE NARRATOR WASNT. I FEEL THAT HER VOICE IS BETTER SUITED FOR TEENS. OTHE THAN THAT, THE BOOKS WERE PRETTY BORING AND SHORT. THE ONLY BOOK I ENJOYED WAS THE 3rd BOOK.

OK

Definitely written for teens. Interesting world building, light/dark, angels/seraphim, free will/fare, timeless concepts.

great teen read

this is a misery, payback, young girl making things right or trying. way to learn about misery's. good joy making a good teen book.
