Book review: Once dead, twice shy and Early to death, early to rise by Kim Harrison

Author: Kim Harrison
Title: Once dead, twice shy
Genre: Young Adult
Series: book 1 of 3
My rating







On the cover

Everyone does it. Dies, I mean. I found this out for myself on my seventeenth birthday—which also happened to be the night of my prom–when I was killed in a car accident. It was a carefully planned scything, just a small moment in the battle between light reapers and dark, heaven and hell, choice and fate.

Author: Kim Harrison

Title: Early to death, early to rise

Genre: Young Adult

Series: Book 2 of 3

On the cover

Seventeen, dead, and in charge of heaven's dark angels—all itching to kill someone. Yup, that's me, Madison, the new dark timekeeper without a clue. Now it's my responsibility to send a dark reaper to end a person's earthly existence. The idea is to save their soul at the cost of their life. Fate, the seraphs would say. But I don't believe in fate; I believe in choice.

My review
These book is about Madison who is dead and after taking an amulet from the dark timekeeper now can walk among the living even though she is technically dead. It started out good. There was a boy who she was trying to save and there could have blossom something there and it sort of did and it sort of didn´t. I like romance in books it does not have to be the story  or a very big part of the sory but I want it in there somewhere, and these books just don´t have it. So really theuy could have been alot better. A little more to the story and they would have been great. I´m not saying they are really bad, they are not but it was not a wow for me, they were just ok reading but nothing more. Maybe the next book is better and sometimes read all the books in a series to really appriciate them.
