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 that gives her the illusion of a body, a team of rogue angels by her side, the ability to flash forward into the future to see the shape of destiny, and a perfect boyfriend who doesn't even mind that she's dead.
But Madison soon faces her most difficult decision yet. She could have the one thing she wants most in the world: a normal life. But would that mean giving up everything she's worked so hard for?
