EIGHTH GRAVE AFTER DARK

Sometimes I wonder if the purpose of my life
is to serve as a cautionary tale to others.

EightGraveAfterDark

Charley Davidson has enough going on without having to worry about twelve hellhounds hot on her trail. She is, after all, incredibly pregnant and feeling like she could pop at any moment. But, just her luck, twelve deadly beasts from hell have chosen this time to escape onto our plane, and they’ve made Charley their target. And so she takes refuge at the only place she thinks they can’t get to her: the grounds of an abandoned convent. Of course, if hellhounds aren’t enough, Charley also has a new case to hold her attention: the decades-old murder of a newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing in the shadows of the convent.

Add to that the still unsolved murder of her father, the strange behavior of her husband, and Charley’s tendency to attract the, shall we say, undead, and she has her hands full…but also tied. While the angry hellhounds can’t traverse the consecrated soil, they can lurk just beyond its borders like evil sentries, so Charley has been forbidden from leaving the sacred grounds. Luckily, she has her loyal team with her, and they’re a scrappy bunch who won’t let a few thirsty hellhounds deter them.

While the team scours the prophesies, searching for clues on the Twelve, for a way to kill them or at least send them back to hell, Charley just wants answers and is powerless to get them. But the mass of friends they’ve accrued helps. They convince her even more that everyone in her recent life has somehow been drawn to her, as though they were a part of a bigger picture all along. Their presence is comforting. But the good feelings don’t last for long because Charley is about to get the surprise of her crazy, mixed-up, supernatural life….

Introduction to the series:

First Grave on the Right is the smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper..

Charley sees dead people. That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to “go into the light.” But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e., murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she’s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life…and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.

    I have not as yet read anything by this writer—it would be so great to start at the beginning of this series and read my way through it marathon-style!

  2. Nora-Adrienne May 26, 2015 at 7:01 am #

    I’ve read and enjoyed this series from day one. I own #6 thanks to another giveaway but would be thrilled no end to win not only the coffee mug, but the complete series of Charlie books.

    I’m a collector (not a hoarder as my partner insists) and have space on the shelves set aside for paranormal stories.

    I think it will be interesting to see how Charley balances motherhood and working supernatural mysteries.

  4. Heather Lasala May 26, 2015 at 7:57 am #

    i’ve read the first 6 books in this series and can’t wait to find out what’s in store for Charley and Reyes next! Charley’s sense of humor has me laughing most of the book. Curious to see how motherhood will affect her.

  5. Jen B. May 26, 2015 at 8:29 am #

    I am excited to see a pregnant heroine in a UF series. It makes sense that these strong women would have husbands and children and maybe even a minivan!

  6. Janie McGaugh May 26, 2015 at 9:00 am #

    I love Charley and Reyes and am really looking forward to reading this.

  7. Elaina May 26, 2015 at 9:17 am #

    I love this captivating, unique and fabulous series. Charley is very special and smart. Darynda is extremely talented, creative and has a superlative writing ability. Thanks for this great feature and giveaway.

    I started the series but I seem to be behind.

  9. Heather P May 26, 2015 at 11:24 am #

    I love this series – one of my absolute favorites. I usually read the book and then when the next one comes out, I go back and listen to the last one on audio (the audio books are great!) to refresh!

  10. Joanne B May 26, 2015 at 11:26 am #

    I have not started this series yet but it sounds intriguing the Charley as a Grim Reaper and her time trying to push Reyes away but fighting herself at the same time. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I’m kind of looking forward to meeting the baby 😉 – I love Charley and Reyes. It will be very interesting watching them be parents.

  13. Joy F May 26, 2015 at 2:36 pm #

    I love this series. Are there going to be a lot more books in this series? I don’t want it to end.

  14. Linda Henderson May 26, 2015 at 4:15 pm #

    I enjoyed the excerpt and it’s now on my wish list.

  15. Barrie May 26, 2015 at 4:36 pm #

    This is an awesome series…so far hubby and I have only read the first book (yes, we read together…well, I read and he listens). How many more books are planned for this series? I hope endless…

    looks somewhat interesting

  21. Barbara Elness May 26, 2015 at 8:48 pm #

    I heard so many great things about this series, but I haven’t had a chance to pick up any of the books yet. This is a perfect contest for me, so I could read them all in a row. 😀

  22. Texas Book Lover May 27, 2015 at 8:50 am #

    This series is so unlike any other and the humor is so fun! Can’t wait to see what happens next!

    thanks so much!

  23. infinitieh May 27, 2015 at 3:14 pm #

    Do you have a favorite cover among your books?

  24. Diane Sallans May 27, 2015 at 3:50 pm #

    I haven’t read this series yet, but I’d like to!

  25. Michelle Fidler May 29, 2015 at 12:06 pm #

    Great prize package! Haven’t read any of these but I have heard of the author.

  26. BookAttict May 30, 2015 at 6:42 am #

    I absolutely LOVE this series and I’d really, between Charley’s snark and humor and Reye’s bad-boy hotness, what’s not to love!

  27. BookAttict May 30, 2015 at 6:47 am #

    I absolutely love this series!
