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.

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.Good book for high school/college aged listeners

What did you love best about Once Dead, Twice Shy?
The concept of how Madison Avery was both living and unliving at the same time. Oh and her angel companion who bugs her through out the story to be a 'good' person.What was one of the most memorable moments of Once Dead, Twice Shy?
Near the start of the story where Madison and her 'guardian' angel get on a boat to save the soul of an innocent from being unfairly reaped.What about Mandy Siegfried’s performance did you like?
She really brings Madison Avery and other characters to life with distinct personalities and moods.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes!Witty humor and deep soul searching

Would you try another book from Kim Harrison and/or Mandy Siegfried?
I have enjoyed the other series by Kim Harrison and assumed this was going to be similar and it is, if you are 13. This series is sweet but definitely a bore for adults. I think there should have been a symbol for series written with teens in mind. You don't get it from the brief sample and I was expecting more of the 'Hollows'. The cover art also indicated this was for an older audience. So I am listening but not really captivated.Has Once Dead, Twice Shy turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, but again I would like to be able to really tell if a series is meant for adults or kids.Which character – as performed by Mandy Siegfried – was your favorite?
Characters are nice, predictable and will appeal to the correct audience.Any additional comments?
I happen to like the narrator for this series and the one who reads her other audio novels. The right voice really makes a difference. This one is a good match.If you read her other series this set not for you.

This book makes you remember what it was like to be a teen. The decisions you made today didn't seem fair or just, but you had to go along with them because you weren't in charge of everything. Then fate steps in and makes a decision for you. How do you deal with it. How do you impart your will over fate? What is it really like to be a teen, and yet you are actually something more?
A teen to hook the next generation.
