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.

Other Reviews
This urban fantasy promises attitude and mystery but doesn't deliver. Seventeen-year-old Madison Avery was mostly killed on prom night by a dark reaper, Kairos. Since she stole Kairos's amulet she's technically dead, but for reasons involving Kairos and the morgue, she's still in possession of a corporeal form. Dark reapers are after her, and she's determined to protect herself and the cute boy, Josh, who's a part of the reason she's dead in the first place. Readers may not know that this novel is a followup to the events of Harrison's short story "Madison Avery and the Dim Reaper," which appears in Prom Nights from Hell (2007). The events of that story set the stage for this novel, but the author does a poor job of recapping. She's equally inadequate at connecting the afterworld to Madison's present, explaining the many powers the supernatural creatures have and making readers understand complicated afterlife politics. Madison's thoughts and dialogue are uneven, and the revelation of the reasons behind her unusual death feels anticlimactic. Readers looking for stories of the afterlife are advised to look Elsewhere.
