so it blends with our theme day, so it seems a great day for this review!

Synopsis;
Grim Reaper Charley Davidson is back in the twelfth installment of Darynda Jones’ New York Times bestselling paranormal series, The Trouble with Twelfth Grave.
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. Only this time she’s not uncovering a murder. This time she’s covering one up.
Add to that her new occupation of keeping a startup PI venture—the indomitable mystery-solving team of Amber Kowalski and Quentin Rutherford—out of trouble and dealing with the Vatican’s inquiries into her beloved daughter, and Charley is on the brink of throwing in the towel and becoming a professional shopper. Or possibly a live mannequin. But when someone starts attacking humans who are sensitive to the supernatural world, Charley knows it’s time to let loose her razor sharp claws. Then again, her number one suspect is the dark entity she’s loved for centuries. So the question becomes: Can she tame the unruly beast before it destroys everything she’s worked so hard to protect?
Review:
This book comes out on Halloween! I recently told you about the 1st book in the series, and I accidentally missed the 10th and 11th books, before reading this one, but I was able to catch up pretty quickly, as Darynda gives you just enough info to keep you rolling, but not enough to give away the previous books! This book is a bit of a triad of a cliff hanger, as part 1 was in the previous book, when Reyes escaped, and this book ends with a question as to the immediate future for Charley and Reyes, and the world! Once again, it is ADULTS ONLY, but other than one chapter, I would call it tamer than the earlier books in the series, as far as adult content goes. But in this book the characters are more developed, and Charley is on a roll with her comebacks and rants. Add in a couple of mysteries that need solving asap, and the world possibly coming to an end in 48 hours, and you have a roller coaster ride that keeps you reading pages late into the night! Don't miss it if you're a fan of the series, as a lot of questions get answered and more come about, setting up the next book!
