New Releases by Kim Harrison

La vie de Madison ne tenait qu''à un fil... un ange l''a coupé. Pour Madison, le bal de fin d''année a été une tuerie. Littéralement. Et elle se demande encore pourquoi un ange Faucheur (oui, un vrai, avec un F majuscule) a décidé de s''en prendre à elle. À 17 ans à peine, c''est trop injuste! Heureusement, elle a réussi à lui arracher son amulette, ce qui a eu pour étrange effet de l''ancrer sur terre. En somme, Madison est morte, mais pas enterrée! Avec de l''ingéniosité, l''aide d''un ange (bien intentionné celui-là... a priori) et d''un jeune homme (mmh, trop mignon), sans oublier son ange gardien attitré, Madison est prête à prendre son destin en main. Le pire, c''est qu''elle ne croit même pas à tous ces trucs-là.

Révolution chez les anges! Madison a une amulette super puissante, une team d''anges rebelles sous ses ordres et le pouvoir de se projeter dans le temps pour avoir un aperçu du destin: on peut dire que ça change de la routine de la lycéenne lambda! Elle a même un petit ami absolument parfait que son état ne dérange pas le moins du monde. Alors quand la possibilité de retrouver son corps et sa vie d''avant se présente, Madison hésite. Depuis des mois, elle se bat pour ses idéaus, et tout laisser tomber d''un coup semble un sacré gâchis. Saura-t-elle faire le bon choix?

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?

Step into another realm! Enjoy the complete Once Dead, Twice Shy along with excerpts from two other novels by bestselling author Kim Harrison. 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. Now, thanks to a mysterious amulet, she''s stuck on Earth: dead but not gone. She has no idea why the dark reaper who did her in was after her, but she''s not about to just sit around and let fate take its course. With a little skilled light-bending, 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.

Five paranormal tales of deadly danger and high school drama from New York Times–bestselling authors Stephanie Meyers, Kim Harrison, and others.

Authors Stephenie Meyer (Twilight), Kim Harrison (Once Dead, Twice Shy), Meg Cabot (How to Be Popular), Lauren Myracle (ttyl), and Michele Jaffe (Bad Kitty) take prom mishaps to a truly hellish level. Wardrobe malfunctions and two left feet don''t hold a candle to discovering your date is the Grim Reaper—and he isn''t here to tell you how hot you look.

The (black) magical season is here—and whether it''s a solstice séance gone demonically wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year''s with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish!

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.
