This was such a unique read. I couldn't put it down at all.

I unfortunately cannot get in to this book, mainly the fact that I'm not a fan of the main character, but I do like the premise and the ideology behind the story, Truly unfortunate as I was looking forward to this book,

**2.5 but rounding up**

This is probably one of the more unique books I’ve read recently in terms of world building and the concept of necromancers using this particular ideology, but other than that this book is pretty predictable making it somewhat fall flat as it works it’s way through the plot.

“Twice Dead” tells the story of Naya a young girl who is sent on a mission by her father in a city where the dead walk among the living and if that wasn’t bad enough her simple task goes awry when she is murdered in the street by an unknown assailant and resurrected as a wraith and forced to play the part of a spy in order to help her people but things aren’t always what they seem and soon she must make a decision that could cost her her life and this time for good.

The entire necromancer and resurrection idea was pretty interesting but once they get down the mechanics of how the process works things start to get a little fuzzy and once I thought I understood the process something would happen and I would have to start all over in order to keep up with the action.

Sadly there wasn’t any real connection to any of the characters and I honestly couldn’t tell you why other than the plot having the bare bone structure of something we’ve all read a dozen times with more likable or at least memorable characters moving things forward and in this case not one of them in this book even came close to holding their own amongst them.

This book is just kind of alright in that it’s neither good or bad and could work as a filler if you’re between novels and want to give it a try.
