Synopsis: 

Before she can become the greatest empress in history, fifteen-year-old Sophie will have to survive her social-climbing mother’s quest to put her on the throne of Russia—at any cost.

Imperial Court holds dangers like nothing Sophie has ever faced before. In the heart of St. Petersburg, surviving means navigating the political, romantic, and religious demands of the bitter Empress Elizabeth and her handsome, but sadistic nephew, Peter. Determined to save her impoverished family—and herself—Sophie vows to do whatever is necessary to thrive in her new surroundings. But an attempt on her life and an unexpected attraction threatens to derail her plans.

Book Review: Once Dead, Twice Shy By Kim Harrison

Once Dead, Twice Shy

By Kim Harrison

Reviewed by Reece

This book is about a 16 year old who is killed right after she turns 17. She snatches her killers’ amulet before he could get away. The amulet gives her the physical illusion of a body. Slowly throughout the book, you find out how she died and why. This book is full of light reapers, ones who save. And dark reapers, ones who kill. The main character Madison has a light reaper friend named Barnabos, who spends a tiny part of the book teaching her to thought-touch.
