Well, it IS almost October, so you know you're going to be getting some 'devilish' book reviews. right????
This one is for ADULTS only!
This smashing, award-winning debut novel introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper.
Synopsis:
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. In fact, he might be something else entirely.
Review:
Sometimes when you miss the first book in the series such as this (which has 11 books so far), it's great to go back and read the books you missed. Somehow I managed to not read book 1! Very odd for me, but it happens!
This series may sound familiar, as I've reviewed books here from it before. It was interesting to go back and see how things actually started, as I apparently started with book 2, and missed a bunch of information! This book, like the other, is a fun, light, sexy read. It's definitely for MATURE adults only, due to the eroticism. BUT having said that, don't be surprised if while reading you snort a hole lot, from trying to hold back your laughter- Charley is snarky, honest, and the friend you really Do want to have! And in a bit of a mystery she's trying to solve, and you have a book perfect for late night reading to make the stress of the day go away! Just don't blame me if you stay up late (early), cause you can't put it down!
The Trouble with Twelfth Grave, the 12th book, comes out on Halloween this year!
