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

Cant wait for the next book.

Darynda Jones does it again. This series keeps getting better and i think the book speaks for itself.

SAVE TIME - JUST HIT THE 'ADD TO CART' BUTTON NOW

If you're already a fan - then you know what you're gonna get..... an amazing, awesome and addictive listen that'll have you laughing out loud one minute and then on the edge of your seat the next. However, if you haven't heard of this series before then ..... JUST WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? it takes the saying "I see dead people" to a whole new level so start at book 1, sit back and enjoy.

Quirky humour, funny on-liners, hot sexual chemistry, new powers, more characters, action, adventure, mystery, surprises, plenty of paranormal activity and, of course, the oh sooo drool worthy and delicious Reyes (damn I'm jealous) makes this book a PNR lovers dream listen.

So what do you say Darynda - how about I agree to come round and be your own personal 'do absolutely everything' P.A. for a month or two then would that get Sixth Grave to your fans any quicker?

Worth a credit? Shhhhhhh (don't tell Audible) but I'd spend 2, 3 or even 4 credits on each listen they're that good - so that's not just a YES but it's a fling your arms out and scream it from the rooftops HALLELUJAH, THANK YOU DARYNDA YES.

I need to get some of these T-shirts.

Another hit with Charlie Davidson. Crazy, ADD and plain good times. Since this is the fifth book in the series you know what I'm talking about. Otherwise start with book 1, you won't regret it. So funny in parts almost peed my pants. Time flew by at work. Defiantly will be continuing on with this series. Please write faster Darynda Jones. And as usual Lorelei King rocks with her narration.

OMG!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!

If you could sum up Fifth Grave Past the Light in three words, what would they be?

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I can't wait for the next installment!

What did you like best about this story?

The progression in the romance between Charlie and Reyes. And finally some answers

What does Lorelei King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Everything. I can't imagine this series being narrated by someone else. She does such a fantastic job of drawing you into the story and bringing the characters to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh and brought tears to my eyes at points.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a great read (or listen)

I just don't know!!

I go back and forth. I like Charley, but then there are times when I kind of want to punch her. So far, the good outweighs the bad. This book was like the last in that it was slightly schizophrenic. It went from being light and funny to dark and icky in a heartbeat. I love Lorelei King. She's part of what tips the scale to good for me. As annoying as Charley can be, I really enjoy the other characters and am glad to see their development. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

ENTERTAINMENT AT ITS BEST

I have enjoyed Charley Davidson and Reyes and Cookie and the list goes on. Its fall down funny and the next minute I am taken by sadness. There is action and more action and then a really? I cared about the H/h from the beginning. Gotta love Cookie, I have a Cookie as a friend and sidekick. Waiting for UB and Cookie to get together. That's what makes a good book for me is the don't want it to end and when is the next one coming thing. Yes it can be silly at times but I need silly sometimes to make the life more interesting.

I have a wide range of books I like to read and listen to and the voice behind the reading can make or break the audible and Lori is one of my favorites. It is too bad our review didn't have sound because you would hear me doing the happy dance. Take a chance on this series it is one of my favorites and a must down load...I give it **********stars if I could..

Charley Rocks!

LOVED IT!!! But what the hell....how could it just end where it did and we now have to wait until 2014 to find out....that's just mean.....and as usual Lorelei King does a fabulous job!

Fantastic

I have enjoyed listening to this series multiple times! would recommend 10 times over! I have purchased numerous audio books and this series always draws me back. Each time I listen I have a new appreciation for Daryndas writing talents. The only downside is the dread of approaching the end of the series. This one will keep drawing back your attention with each book. I would love if this series was continued from Beps perspective and plays out the entire story. The narration is by far one of the best performances I have heard.

Love these books!

This Audible book was great! I love this series and the narrator did an outstanding job with this production. I enjoyed it very, very much!

incredible

owning every book of this series i can not stop listening. more and more incredible
