Once Dead, Twice Shy, by Kim Harrison (HarperCollins, 2009)

Madison Avery dwells in a state between life and death, due to the botched reaping that failed to properly claim her soul, and her own stubborn desire to live. Now, as an apprentice reaper in her own right, she studies under the sexy, frustrating Barnabas, exploring her new powers. What makes her unique as a reaper also makes her a target for a never-ending onslaught of dark forces, though, and her attempts to thwart them will inspire her to achieve a far greater destiny. But is she ready for the consequences? This fast-pace, entertaining tale marks the start of a new series for Harrison, filled with the same blend of action, magic, strong characterization and dry humor that her fans have come to expect. It’ll be interesting to see where she goes with this setting.
