Once Dead, Twice Shy

9/29/15

So I'm on a new read. I had to request this book specifically because it was already at my library and I didn't have to wait for it to be shipped. I needed a new book because I finished Kiss of Frost. Anyways, I have no idea what the book is about. I just found it on my reading list and requested it from the library. Always good to just dive into a book and know nothing about it. I guess its a good thing in a way. That way its more of an adventure trying to figure out what the book is about and I can connect with the main character better. Maybe that's why I write such good reviews for books most of the time. Who knows? I just never read what the book is about these days. Anyways, I just literally just started reading the book. I'm only on page one. I don't know if its about vampires or zombies. It could be about something completely different. All I know is that the main character died during a car accident. But I'm going to head out and see what this book is all about. So until next time.....

 I'm about halfway through the book and I realize that I'm experiencing a reading hangover from the last book I read. I didn't think it was possible. Right now I just don't want to read this book because Kiss of Frost was so intense towards the end. But I'm pulling through it just for you guys. The book is a little bit slow, but that is to be expected for something that is the start of a series. The first book's job is always to explain what is going on so you are not completely confused through out the rest of the series. Anyways, I learned this book is not about zombies or vampires. Its about reapers. Like the Grim Reaper I guess. Or, like angels and demons fighting for the balance of the universe. Something like that. Anyways, the main goal of this book, other then explaining everything, is to have our leading lady, Madison, protect those she loves and cares deeply about. Why? Because the person who's amulet she stole is coming back for it. And what better way to get something back then go after the ones the thief loves. I'm pretty sure anyone would do anything to keep those they care about safe. Sadly I will only do that for my mom. Well, maybe I won't risk my life for her. Sorry mom. Anyways, I'm going to call it a night and hopefully get some more reading in. So until next time.......

 Two chapters left in the book and honestly I was kind of disappointed in the whole thing. The book wasn't as epic as I thought when you have light and dark against each other. Instead you follow a troubled girl who died and learn how she is coping with it. Also some other secrets about her. I could also be wrong and that there is going to be a major battle at the end. Who knows? Anyways, I wasn't a huge fan of the book. Its good, but not a fan. I read a lot of young adult books and this one just doesn't feel like it was in the same league as them. Maybe I must too old to understand the book and fully enjoy it. Like I said before, who knows? Anyways, don't let my words affect your wants to read the book. You could be a fan of the book when I can't be. I'll try to read the second book in the series and we'll see how that goes. Maybe it gets better over time. So until next time....
