Synopsis

I'm Madison Avery, in charge of heaven's hit squad . . . and fighting it all the way.When Madison died the night of her prom, she knew her life would never be the same. Now she has a powerful amulet, a team of rogue angels by her side, and the ability to flash forward into the future to see the shape of destiny. And of course, now she's finally with Josh—a perfect boyfriend who doesn't even mind that she's dead.But being dead has its disadvantages, too. Madison feels caught between the light and the dark, and between her real life and her timekeeper status. When Madison has the opportunity to get her body back—to be alive again—she faces her most difficult decision yet. If she claims it, she could return to being a normal girl—and have a chance at a real relationship with Josh. But would having the one thing she wants most in the world also mean giving up everything she's worked so hard for?

About Kim Harrison

American born author, Kim Harrison, has tried different genres, but has settled into graphic and traditional fantasy novels. Her given name is Dawn Cook, and she did publish traditional fantasy under that name. Her #1 New York Times best-selling Hollow series is Harrison's most famous and most lucrative work. Her urban fantasy is best known, but she has also written young adult, accelerated science fiction thriller, anthology, full-color world book, and two graphic novels set in the Hollows universe.

Under her pen name of Dawn Cook, Harrison wrote Decoy Princess and Truth series. The main character, Rachel Morgan, is in an urban fantasy genre where there is a worldwide pandemic caused by genetically modified tomatoes. The pandemic causes the death of much of the world's population. This novel was published in the early years of the 21st century. Harrison's newest novel is American Demon.

Harrison was born and raised in the Midwest. She considers herself a "tomboy", having been the only girl in a family of boys. She has another unusual attribute for an author......she avoided all English classes, except those required in high school. Pretty unorthodox for a very successful author. She now resides in her home state of Michigan.

Goodreads review by Niki Hawkes on September 07, 2018

[Trilogy Review - No Spoilers] If you can overlook a few flaws, the Madison Avery trilogy is a fun, light YA read. However, I had a difficult time following my own advice. I have a lot of nitpicky things to talk about in this review and unfortunately, not a lot of positive takeaways. Once Dead, Twice......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on February 09, 2013

Flat out, this is isn't my favorite series. I have a really hard time wrapping my head around how the light reapers are willing to let their charges get EATEN INTO NOTHING on the very slim chance that they'll change and become a better person before they die. I guess I could get behind it a little m......more

Goodreads review by Colleen on May 03, 2019

I’m actually a little sad the series ended at book 3, it seemed to be getting a little better as it went on. The 2 things I really didn’t like were Madison’s wishy washy decisions about remaining The Dark Time Keeper and her interaction with Ron, it was very juvenile. I really liked Nakita’s characte......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa (bookfairy95) on December 26, 2017

Another great finale for another very good trilogy! Madison is still struggling with her job; however, she has more faith in her plans working out, since she was already able to change the destiny of a person once. She discovers more abilities and her powers awaken bit by bit and she even finds her......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on February 06, 2023

At the halfway mark, I was concerned that the storyline couldn’t possibly be wrapped up properly with so few pages remaining. But I’m quite happy to say that everything is actually tied up fairly neatly, into an ending that is quite satisfactory. I’m left feeling like this series probably didn’t gar......more
