Story
As a part-time PI and full-time grim reaper, Charley Davidson has asked a lot of questions throughout her life: Why can I see dead people? Who is the hot supernatural entity following me? How do I get gum out of my sister's hair before she wakes up? But "how do I trap not one malevolent god but three?" was never among them. Until now. And since those gods are on earth to kill her daughter, she has little choice but to track them down, trap them, and cast them from this dimension. There's just one problem. One of the three stole her heart a very long time ago.

With 12 hellhounds after her, pregnant Charley Davidson takes refuge at the only place she thinks they can't get to her: the grounds of an abandoned convent. But after months of being cooped up there, Charley is ready to pop. Both metaphorically and literally, since she is now roughly the size of a beached whale. Fortunately a new case has captured her attention, one that involves a murder on the very grounds the team has taken shelter upon.

A typical day in the life of Charley Davidson involves cheating husbands, errant wives, missing people, philandering business owners, and, oh yeah...demons, hell hounds, evil gods, and dead people.

Now Charley is learning to make peace with the fact that she is a goddess with all kinds of power and that her own daughter has been born to save the world from total destruction.

Ever since Reyes Farrow escaped from a hell dimension in which Charley Davidson accidentally trapped him, the son of Satan has been brimstone-bent on destroying the world his heavenly Brother created. His volatile tendencies have put Charley in a bit of a pickle. But that's not the only briny vegetable on her plate. While trying to domesticate the feral being that used to be her husband, she also has to deal with her everyday life of annoying all manner of beings - some corporeal, some not so much - as she struggles to right the wrongs of society.

Most girls might think twice before getting engaged to someone like Reyes Farrow - but Charley Davidson is not most girls. She’s a paranormal private eye and grim-reaper-in-training who’s known to be a bit of a hell-raiser, especially after a few shots of caffeine. Her beloved Reyes may be the only begotten son of evil, but he’s dark and sultry and deeply sexy and everything Charley could hope for. Really. But when the FBI file on Reyes’ childhood happens to land into her lap, she can’t help herself: She opens it...and then the real fun begins.

Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper extraordinaire, is pissed. She’s been kicked off the earthly plane for eternity - which is the appropriate amount of time to make a person stark-raving mad. But someone’s looking out for her, and she’s allowed to return after a mere hundred years in exile. Is it too much to hope for that not much has changed? Apparently it is. Bummer.

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.

A smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper. Charley sees dead people. That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to “go into the light”. But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she’s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all.

Publisher's Summary
This audiobook includes a wonderful dedication to the long-time narrator of the series, Lorelei King, read by the author.
Grim Reaper Charley Davidson is back in the ninth installment of Darynda Jones' New York Times best-selling paranormal series, The Dirt on Ninth Grave
In a small village in New York Charley Davidson is living as Jane Doe, a girl with no memory of who she is or where she came from. So when she is working at a diner and slowly begins to realize she can see dead people, she's more than a little taken aback. Stranger still are the people entering her life. They seem to know things about her. Things they hide with lies and half-truths. Soon, she senses something far darker. A force that wants to cause her harm, she is sure of it. Her saving grace comes in the form of a new friend she feels she can confide in and the fry cook, a devastatingly handsome man whose smile is breathtaking and touch is scalding. He stays close, and she almost feels safe with him around.
But no one can outrun their past, and the more lies that swirl around her - even from her new and trusted friends - the more disoriented she becomes, until she is confronted by a man who claims to have been sent to kill her. Sent by the darkest force in the universe. A force that absolutely will not stop until she is dead.
Thankfully, she has a Rottweiler. But that doesn't help in her quest to find her identity and recover what she's lost. That will take all her courage and a touch of the power she feels flowing like electricity through her veins. She almost feels sorry for him. The devil in blue jeans. The disarming fry cook who lies with every breath he takes. She will get to the bottom of what he knows if it kills her. Or him. Either way.

Wonderful, Hilarious, Excellent
And I haven’t even finished the book yet, so i haven't figured out what the title means yet. The author & the narrator are the best. There is mystery & suspense too. But I couldn’t put this book down it made me laugh so much & left me with happy glow all day. Line after line of super comedy, made me think this author’s real talent is being a stage comedian as well being great at improvisation. I keep thinking the author must be a family member who has experienced all the funny lines I have ever heard in my life. So cool! Ok OK I will stop now because we all know too great of a review will always back fire on some people. But for me this book could not have been improved upon. It gave my spirit a lift & my funny bone some great exercise. Warning: Do not try & read this at night even with earphones, unless you can laugh without being heard by the rest of the family!

Another winner!!!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Abso-freaking-lutely!!!!!!!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dirt on Ninth Grave?
When Charley first tied up Reyes.
Have you listened to any of Lorelei King’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
She's the reason I found Darynda Jones's books. I love her work...all of her work. It's excellent.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES!
Any additional comments?
Love, love, love this story! Can't wait for June 28, 2016 which is when "The Curse of Tenth Grave (Charley Davidson Series)" is released

Unsurprisingly amazeballs!
What made the experience of listening to The Dirt on Ninth Grave the most enjoyable?
Everything was spot on! This book had the perfect combination: Darynda Jones' sublimely addictive writing style--a nicely paced, active plot, engaging, endearing characters, and plenty of wit and snark--and Lorelei King's always impressive narrative prowess.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked that, even with the annoyingly persistent amnesia, Charley was still good ol' Charley, with her personality shining through, even in the absence of her memories. Also, I liked that, despite the change in setting, and the change in Charley's memory, this book still included almost all of the characters we love in this series. I was glad that the story picked up with them already on scene.
Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?
I love all the characters, but I think Lorelei King's performance of Charley is absolutely perfect. As far as her performance of the other characters, honorable mentions go to: Angel and Aunt Lil (though, admittedly, Aunt Lil is scarcely in this novel).
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
As usual, I laughed out loud quite a few times.
Any additional comments?
My biggest complaint is that it's over. I hate that I will have to wait so long for more Charley Davidson!

WOW!!!! Always Great!!!
When I finished the previous book I was wondering what will happen next how things will turn out to be for Charley. And I was shocked how things turned and happy as well. It was a really great story to listen to and I loved it.
This series is getting better and better and better, and you can't stop laughing. Very funny writer and an amazing narrator by Lorelei King.
Can't wait for more in this series.

I listened to the entire book in one day. I loved it, it was action packed, funny and just amazing! I can't wait for the next one!
As usual, Lorelei King was flawless, she is so good that Darynda Jones actually dedicated this book to her! When does that happen?!

And it just keeps going
I really don't like how we have had to read NINE books, and still know hardly anything. sometimes I feel as though the author doesn't know where she is going with the book, so she is dragging it out. I also don't like how in every book she repeats the same thing "if I held onto them, they couldn't leave" this is book nine. I don't think I need everything repeated.

The best one so far!!!
I counted down the days on this pre-order. These stories just get better and better. This one took a twist that in my opinion made it the best one yet! Oh my God the humor. You would think that this is just light fare reading the description of these books and on some level I suppose they are but if you believe humor and sarcasm done right are the best thing ever - you will love these books. I would not even consider reading these books in print because Lorelei King is sooooo good. The perfect match between writer and reader. It's 'Bloody Jack' for grown-ups. If you haven't read that series by all means start that one - right after you read this series from the beginning.

Love this series but this is not my favorite.
Darynda Jones is such a creative writer with a wry sense of humor that it's difficult not to like her books and I have loved every book in this series. However in this one, though the story was compelling, I missed the strong romantic relationship and partnership between Charlie and Reyes which is the foundation of the story.

Really Bad
This book was a real clunker. The attempts at humor were mostly corny and not funny. The main character was supposed to be in her twenties and the narrator sounded like she was mid forties. There were too many minor characters and it was tough keeping them straight since I was listening and it took me a while to finish this because the story was so far fetched and silly I will not listen to anymore books by this author. I was determined to finish it even though I didn't like it so I could write a review about it.
