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?

Gripping story of good versus evil and more

Really enjoyed the story and the narrator did an awesome job. Lorelei did an excellent job.
Would read again.

More...more!!

Another Fantastic read! Can't put it down! More..more..more...Ready for book 3! The narrator, Lorelei is awesome!

Great follow-up to First grave

I absolutely loved this book. It did not let me down especially after how great the first book was. I've already downloaded the third book and about to start listening to it now.

Omg, the goosebumps.

The ending had me running for my phone saying, “No no no no no!! You can’t end that there!!” But she did. Such a great book, fun and creative characters, and Lorelei does a great job narrating.

What happens if you get scared half to death twice

I love this author, and man oh man, did she ever select the right narrator! (At least, one would hope that its the author who has some say in who narrates her hard work.) Lorelei King is completely awesome in her role as Charlie Davidson, and brings such life (pardon the pun, as Charlie is the Grim Reaper) to the story that it literally makes you laugh out loud. (Really, you have no choice -- you MUST laugh out loud!) :) Keep 'em coming, Darynda and Lorelei!

Can't Wait for 3rd book

Charley Davidson is so cool. I just wish I could think of funny things to say that fast. Lorelei King is the best narrarator in the business.

Great listening, Charley is my kind of girl

This is a great story. Charlie Davidson, grim reaper, is witty and funny as she tries to solve mysteries as she talks to the dead. The stuff she says is just hilarious. Plus she is surrounding by her family and friends that only add to the craziness of her life. And we can not forget Reyes Alexander Farrow, the man's sexiness jumps out at you from the story.

One of my favorite scenes in this book involves the homeless man, I think the conclusion of his small story was just perfect.

I did listen to this book. Lorelei King does a fabulous job with the narration. The way she reads teh story kept me engaged and really made Charlie come to life.

I love this urban fantasy series. It has a little bit of everything in it-paranormal, romance, mystery, and adventure. I can't wait for the next book to see who is bothering Charlie now and what Reyes has in store for her.(

Great humor

After reading her first book in this series, I could not wait to read more! I downloaded the Audible version in preparation of a road trip I was getting ready to take. Loved it!! The narrator is awesome!

Charley Davidson is just as snarky, sassy and tough in this book as she was in Book 1! Fabulous character, but how could she not be? She sees dead people. I absolutely love this character! There was not as much of the heat we saw in Book 1, but Reyes was somewhat occupied throughout most of this book... fighting demons in order to protect Charley and the rest of the world. But we did get just as much humor.

Darynda Jones has created a series that is totally entertaining! Great writing, great characters, great storyline! I can't wait to read more from this author.

One more time its awesome!

I jst love the Charlie series. Sometimes the story lags but its still a good listen.

Surprisingly Awesomesause!

What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?

I was hooked on Lorelei King by her performance on the Moon Called series written by Patricia Briggs. I couldn't just stop. Had to buy the next book right away. After that series, I craved for something else. I took a chance and purchased the first book of this series and was surprisingly pleased. The Main character so sarcastic makes me gawfa out loud. I now so want those t-shirt and bumper sticker sayings that are mentioned once in a while. So smart!!

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

I did listen all in one sitting.. ahhh.. I am lucky enough to hid my ear buds within my ear muffs at work and enjoy this world as I get to do my daily routines

Any additional comments?

So far I am loving this world, characters and the passion. Its got me hooked!
