Short Review: I am so confused with this book. I think the MC got a promotion to Time Keeper, which i have no clue as to what they do, think they can alter memories or something, idk. I know she can turn invisible, which she did a lot. Like a lot a lot. Then the whole virus thing. They spent 3hrs getting to the actual plot of this book. The MC didn't kill someone she was supposed to and i guess no one really cared since she didn't even get in trouble. So lost.
Misc.

Somewhat boring at first because it’s not clear what they’re about, but a lot better when the protagonist learns what her powers are.

This was a fun read especially if you liked the first book. It picks up right where the previous book left off and builds on the world Harrison has crafted. My one criticism for the book was the way too obvious red herring. You know from the start it's a red herring but the main characters fail to realize that until the end. It still had charm and Madison's quest to change the world one innocent at a time is admirable. It saddens me that there's only one book left to her story. Harrison's writing is great and her main characters are gems.

Better than the first, but still not brilliant or anything. I feel like Madison isn't a real teenager (which I guess she isn't, seeing as she's dead and the dark timekeeper, but you know) which bugs me, but I do like that she's not whiny.
There is just something about this trilogy that seems "off" to me, and I'm probably not the only one since I got this and the last novel super cheap at the store (that one is a hardcover too). Still some good fun in there, but the pacing is weird, this all happens in a couple of days, which means very little character development/forced development. I understand that this was about Madison's reap prevention/rescue thing, and that it unfolded as a mystery (but instead of "who did it" we're looking for "who is going to do it?"), but in the end it's all a bit "meh"

Madison is trying to deal with her new-found powers. As the new timekeeper for the dark reapers, she has a lot on her plate, especially since she is trying to instil a new system into the way that things are done. She goes out on a reap to try and stop a teenage computer whiz from using a virus that will kill people. Should be simple, right? Just find the kid, talk with him, tell him what he's going to do, and make him change his mind. Well, things never go that easily.
I liked the book. There were some parts that got a little confusing, like Harrison was just throwing information and hoping that we would be able to understand. Also, for the love of God Madison, stop using 'puppy presents on the rug' as your expression of dismay. It's ok to swear. You don't need to drop the f-bomb, but saying 'crap' is fine

I was quite reluctant to pick up the second part in the Madison Avery series after the not-so-great first part, Once Dead, Twice Shy. Luckily, we do see some improvement.
In this book Madison is the dark timekeeper, and she is struggling with her new position. She does not believe in fate, but in choice, and this collides with her new responsibilities. Together with her two angels, one dark, one that was once light, and not to forget tongue-in-cheek guardian angel Grace, she tries to prevent people from making the wrong decisions in live, so they won't have to be scythed (or in human: killed).
Kim Harrison does know how to write an amusing story with interesting characters. It probably has a deeper layer, with all that choice vs. fate stuff, but it is well concealed. We don't get enormous monologues about philosophical topics, to teach us a lesson. That, I really liked. Some books you just want to read to take a little break, and have some relax-time. This is a book you can certainly pick up when you're in that kind of mood.
That doesn't mean this book is flat and brainless. The characters are very well thought out, and overall nicely balanced. You get to know all their little quirks and they live up to the expectations you have of their personality. The plot made sense, and was nicely fast paced overall. There was enough action and tension to keep us busy, and prevent this from being a little bit boring.
The main reason I liked this book more than Once Dead, Twice Shy, was probably that my expectations weren't that high. I was pleasantly surprised, actually. I read this in two sittings, while I at some points really had to labour through ODTS. I'm not sure if there will be a third part in the Madison Avery series, but if there will be, I will buy it without second thought.
