Second Grave on the Left
by Darynda Jones
Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper Extraordinaire, is back in this sexy, suspenseful novel of supernatural shenanigans
When Charley is rudely awakened in the middle of the night by her best friend who tells her to get dressed quickly and tosses clothes out of the closet at her, she can’t help but wonder what Cookie’s up to. Leather scrunch boots with a floral miniskirt? Together? Seriously? Cookie explains that a friend of hers named Mimi disappeared five days earlier and that she just got a text from her setting up a meet at a coffee shop downtown. They show up at the coffee shop, but no Mimi. But Charley finds a message on the bathroom wall. Mimi left a clue, a woman’s name. Mimi’s husband explains that his wife had been acting strange since she found out an old friend of hers from high school had been found murdered a couple weeks prior. The same woman Mimi had named in her message.
Meanwhile, Reyes Alexander Farrow (otherwise known as the Son of Satan. Yes. Literally) has left his corporeal body and is haunting Charley. He’s left his body because he’s being tortured by demons who want to lure Charley closer. But Reyes can’t let that happen. Because if the demons get to Charley, they’ll have a portal to heaven. And if they have a portal to heaven…well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be pretty. Can Charley handle hot nights with Reyes and even hotter days tracking down a missing woman? Will Cookie ever get a true fashion sense? And is there enough coffee and chocolate in the world to fuel them as they do?
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this second installment of Charley Davidson’s adventure. I struggled writing this review because I didn’t want to give too much away so I will keep this spoiler free while teasing you.
Charley finds herself trying to solve multiple cases at one time… Trying not to get killed by multiple people… and trying to hold on to everything dear to her. But in the end Charley loses. Loses in a very big way…which Charley many never recover from. *sniff, sniff*
I love Charley. I can’t wait for Third Grave Dead Ahead. Let’s just say that the dear sweet Darynda has made me so antsy by the time I finished Second Grave I am not sure I will be able to wait for Third Grave Dead Ahead……
D, I am not sure I love you more or hate you after reading this book… Okay, fine you got me… I love you more…. *wink, wink*
If you have not started this series you must.. Charley is kick@$$ girl.. Reyes is a Super-Hot bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks and Darynda is a FREAKIN FABULOUS author.
You will laugh, cry, curse and wonder in the famous words of Cee Lo Green… *WHY, WWWHHHYYY, WWWWHHHHHHYYYYY DARYNDA?*
Watch on August 18th with my interview with Darynda and we have a little something special planned……
