Publisher's summary

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?

Personally one of my favorite series

What made the experience of listening to Second Grave on the Left the most enjoyable?

So far I'm really enjoying this series! Interesting concept and entertaining!

What did you like best about this story?

The narrator is great, really brings them to life, and the story is funny, comical, yet serious. Just great balance

Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?

The main female character and her secretary

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

They should make this into movies, but I think there is what, 8 books? That would be hard to do!

Any additional comments?

I can't wait to keep reading. Comparing the first to the second, the first was better for me. The second seems more like a filler, like filling in some spots and seemed to jump around and go by really quickly. I think book three will be awesome though, like this book was the build up for a better book three. SO i'm hopeful!

Great new series

Exciting series, well read by Lorelei, as usual. I enjoy the humour tempered by trials and tribulations - none of which are too much to bare for a reader who feels sensitized by what's going on in the real world. Great escapism and I'll be buying it all.

Love the grim reaper. Love Lorelei King more.

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

Ms King brings the story even more to life. I've read all the Stephanie Plum books but wish I'd have listened to them. I'm sure they're awesome.

Funny funny funny

What made the experience of listening to Second Grave on the Left the most enjoyable?

the narrators ability to deliver the goods!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Charley...she's freaken hilarious!

Which scene was your favorite?

Any scene with Reyes

Any additional comments?

This is a good book and the humor is great. I don't know if another narrator would be able to pull this part off.

Keeps getting better.

I don't remember what made me listen to the first book in the series but I remembered how different it was as well as enjoyable. Second Grave pulls me in even more. I love the characters, the banter and the dual story lines. Ready for the Third Grave.

Terrific

Charley Davidson is a Detective and the Grim reaper! She is fun and sassy! I love this series!
Lorelei King is a great narrator too!

Gravely good

The story continues..... each book keeps me engaged and waiting for the next one.

Solid Story

I like how the character is evolving and growing in her knowledge and trust. you can see the makings of a great motley crew of characters building which will keep the stories fresh and less predictable. main character is hilarous...ready for book 3.

Loved it!

Only thing I would change are the not so welcome four letter word. Otherwise ....great! Looking forward to what's next!

More Reyes Please......'Dutch''

Would you consider the audio edition of Second Grave on the Left to be better than the print version?

Hey Yeah!!!! How would I hear Reyes pronounce 'Dutch'. P L E A S E . That's why am waiting for them to go on sales to buy. The audio books have thoroughly spoiled me for the print.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Reyes of course. Because I am a red blooded woman, and I crave this devilish, up-to-no-good men.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Reyes told Charley if she was trying to make him jealous, then vanished. Leaving her to her biker admirer.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes.
