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.

Critic reviews

“Lorelei King continues to provide superb narration, adding great depth to the characters.” —Library Journal

“Narrator Lorelei King's inspired interpretation of Jones's characters allows listeners to truly lose themselves in this otherworldly tale. King's delivery is well paced and simple, and her characterizations lend the book an air of believability and immediacy…inspired, realistic, and entertaining, King's performance ability is the perfect medium for Jones's witty and cunning prose.” —Publishers Weekly

Sugar & Spice with MYSTERY Days & SAUCEY Nights‼️😈 SEDUCTIVE, Suspence, Comedic Gold, & ACTION PACKED.

Oh my, my FAVORITE so far. It was so good I can ONLY WONDER HOW one could surpass this as there are several more installments in the series. If it had ended right here, one couldn't complain about how the first 4 books tied together and ended with perfection. She also managed to avoid being redundant and overly recapping installments 1,2,& 3. I understand Authors feel the need to repeat certain aspects of a story to either remind a reader of an event to relate to the current addition to a series, or to explain to a reader that did not follow the book sequence and is attempting to read & understand it as a standalone. HOWEVER, (eye roll) I really hate it when Authors do too much recapping and actually prefer the bare necessity & crave the excitement of the new. This series does NOT disappoint and can I just say, "THANK YOU for that." I'm almost AFRAID to keep going in the series as I just don't see HOW she can top this, BUT I'm glutton for another Charlie/Reyes fix. So PRAISE the first 4 books & PASS the MOCHA'S & Sequels please❤️🤍💙🇺🇲... in a single word "YUMMY"😈😎😘

The things she gets herself into

Fifth Grave has Charley learning about more powers, learning about more torture devices and learning about more Reyes

All the Five Stars!

This book deserves all the five stars and then some. This book gives us more of a clue of Charley and her other worldly connection and we get LOTS more Swopes and Reyes! Thank you!!

Lorelei kills it again as the narrator to an awesome story written by Darynda. I can’t wait to continue the ride.
