ARC Review: Something Deadly This Way Comes (Madison Avery) [Hardcover]

Something Deadly This Way Comes (Madison Avery) [Hardcover]

Product Description

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?

My Review:

Since the first book Madison has struggled with being the time keeper of the Dark Reapers.  She wants a third choice other than killing people to save their souls or assigning a guardian angel.  She also wants the mark to have a choice to change their fate. She's already done this once before but wants to prove it was just a fluke.

I love the friendship between Madison, Barnabus and Nakita because of their great team chemistry and also the external and external conflict each has.  Also love that Barnabus and Nakita accept their inner conflict and act upon it with their actions and words.  Madison even has help from an unlikely source Paul, the rising Timekeeper.

The question is will she be able to live a normal life once she finds her body?

I believe this is the last book in her Madison Avery series!
4/5
