Charley Davidson isn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill grim reaper. She's more of a paranormal private eye/grim reaper extraordinaire. However, she gets sidetracked when the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves in next door. To further complicate matters, Reyes is her main suspect in an arson case. Charley has vowed to stay away from him until she can find out the truth...but then dead women start appearing in her apartment, one after another, each lost, confused, and terrified beyond reason. When it becomes apparent that her own sister, Gemma, is the serial killer's next target Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyes' help. Arsonist or not, he's the one man alive who could protect Gemma no matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in return. Charley. All of her, body and soul. And to keep her sister safe, it is a price she is willing to pay.
Charley Davidson is at it again in Fifth Grave Past the Light, the sexy, suspenseful, and laugh-out-loud funny fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling series by Darynda Jones.
Why did I add Fifth Grave Past the Light to my bookshelf?
I bought most of the books in this series quite a few years ago. According to Amazon, I bought this book in 2015 but I am ready to read it now. I have read the first four books and have reached the point in the series where I am eager to dive into the next book. I am crossing my fingers that this book will be just as entertaining as the first four.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
I got a big kick out of that series. Hope you enjoy the latest one.
Ooh nice one! I can say the series continues to be a delight! I loved this series! I still need to read some of the novella spinoffs Darynda wrote. I waited until the trilogy she wrote under 1001 Nights was finished. Although I do miss the look of the original covers, the first 4 had Charley on it, then they suddenly went in this direction and I was just meh over it. Luckily, it’s the story and not the cover that matters! Lol. Happy Reading!
I really enjoyed this series. It’s just so humorous, although sometimes I find Charley ridiculous. The narration is amazing and I did everything on audio.
Fingers crossed this turns out to be another fun one in this series. I read the second book and really enjoyed it.
Every time I see Darynda Jones I just feel like so many bloggers just love her stuff and it reminds me how much I need to try her stuff.
You know I promised myself that I would read/listen to this series, ah yet that never happened. It’s still on my list, yes that list that goes twice around the world LOL
I have seen this series around for ages but have never tried it. Hopefully it hasn’t been so long since you read the first four that that you’ve forgotten too much.
I have never read one of her books!
This series sounds good! I’ll have to check it out, although my TBR pile is overflowing already!
I haven’t read it but I hope it’s good.
Yes yes read it
I love this author but have only read the first book of this particular series. I need to pick up the other books. I hope you enjoy this as much as you have the past 4 books!
