Charley Davidson may not look like your everyday, run-of-the-mill
grim reaper, but she has vowed to reap grimness wherever she goes
despite this unfortunate fact. Sadly, she gets sidetracked when the
sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves in next door. As he
is the main suspect in her arson case, she has vowed to stay away
from him until she can find out the truth. However, when dead women
start appearing in her apartment - lost, confused and terrified
beyond reason - Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyes's help,
especially when it becomes apparent that her own sister Gemma is
the serial killer's next target. With his ability to observe
incorporeally, surely he can find out who's responsible. And even
if he can't, he is the one man alive who could protect Gemma no
matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in return:
Charley. All of her - body and soul. And to keep her sister safe,
it is a price she might be willing to pay ...
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's childhood
happens to land in her lap, she can't help herself: She opens it
...and then the real fun begins. First, Charley finds a naked
corpse riding shotgun in her car. Then, a man loses his soul in a
card game. Throw in a Deaf boy who sees dead people, a woman
running from mobsters, and a very suspicious Reyes, and things
can't get any worse for Charley. Unless, of course, the Twelve
Beasts of Hell are unleashed...'Ubertalented Jones keeps stirring
the plot and throwing in crazy new developments, guaranteed to keep
her characters and readers off balance' RT Book Reviews
Charley Davidson sees dead people. As grim reaper extraordinaire
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), Charlie dons her Private Investigator
hat to solve the crime.
Ever since Reyes escaped from a hell dimension in which Charley
accidently 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?
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 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. But one of them stole her heart a very long time ago.
Can a god of absolute death and destruction change his omniscient
spots, or will his allegiance lie with his brothers? Those are just
some of the questions Charley must answer, and quick. Add to that a
homeless girl on the run for her life, a man who's been framed for
murdering a woman who is still very much alive, and a pendant made
from god glass that has the entire supernatural world in an uproar,
Charley has her hands full. If she can manage to take care of the
whole world-destroying-gods thing, we're saved. If not, well...
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.
'An absolute must read.' J.R. Ward, No.1 New York Times bestselling
author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. 'The grim reaper
gets a shiny cook makeover in Jones's blazing hot debut... will
appeal to fans of MaryJanice Davidson and Janet Evanovich.'
Publisher's Weekly 'What's better than a bad-ass girl grim reaper
who keeps us safe from hell hounds and demons? (The answer is
obviously nothing.)' RT Book Reviews A typical day in the life of
Charley Davidson involves cheating husbands, missing people, errant
wives, philandering business owners, and oh yeah . . . demons, hell
hounds, evil gods, and dead people. Lots and lots of dead people.
As a part time Private Investigator and full-time Grim Reaper,
Charley has to balance the good, the bad, the undead, and those who
want her dead. 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.
The forces of hell are determined to see Charley banished forever
to the darkest corners of another dimension but with the son of
Satan himself as her husband, maybe Charley can find a way to have
her happily ever after after all. 'I am furiously envious of
Darynda Jones and rue the day she came up with this concept, damn
her eyes. First Grave On The Right kidnapped me from the first
paragraph, and didn't let go until the exceedingly yummy
conclusion.' MaryJanice Davidson, New York Times bestselling author
of the Undead series 'First Grave on the Right is smart, sharp and
wickedly entertaining. Grab this one.' Jayne Ann Krentz, New York
Times besselling author of Fires Up
'Laugh-out-loud funny, intensely suspenseful, page-turning fun'
Allison Brennan on A Bad Day for Sunshine Running a small-town
police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth,
carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff - and even
fuller-time coffee guzzler - Sunshine Vicram, didn't get that memo.
All Sunshine really wants is one easy-going day. You know, the kind
that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with
take-out pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out,
that's about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do
that? And who hurt them?) Before she can say iced mocha latte,
Sunny's got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a
serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own
abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a
dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he's not the
villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses
the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all,
he possesses a serious set of abs. She's seen it. Once.
Accidentally. Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls
four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi
which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible
raccoon that just doesn't know when to quit, Sunny's life is about
to rocket to a whole new level of crazy. Yep, definitely a good day
for chardonnay. 'A Bad Day For Sunshine is a great day for the rest
of us' Lee Child
Charley Davidson has enough to be getting on with. She is, after
all, incredibly pregnant and feeling like she could pop at any
moment. But, just her luck, twelve deadly beasts from hell have
chosen this time to escape, and they've made Charley their target.
She takes refuge at the only place they can't get to her: the
grounds of an abandoned convent. Before long, Charley also has a
new case to hold her attention: the decades-old murder of a
newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing in the shadows of the convent. Add
to that the still unsolved murder of her father, the strange
behavior of her husband, and Charley's tendency to attract the,
shall we say, undead, and she has her hands full ...but also tied.
While the angry hellhounds can't traverse the consecrated soil,
they lurk beyond its borders like evil sentries, so Charley has
been forbidden from leaving the sacred grounds and is powerless to
get the answers she wants. Luckily, she has her loyal team with
her, and they're a scrappy bunch. They scour the prophesies,
searching for clues on the Twelve, and their presence is comforting
- it's almost as though they've all been drawn to her as part of a
bigger picture ...But the good feelings don't last for long because
Charley is about to get the surprise of her crazy, mixed-up,
supernatural life. 'Hilarious and heartfelt, sexy and
surprising...I'm begging for the next one!!' - J.R. Ward 'If you
enjoy Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, you will certainly enjoy
Charley Davidson.' - Suspense Magazine 'I am furiously envious of
Darynda Jones and rue the day she came up with this concept, damn
her eyes. First Grave on the Right kidnapped me from the first
paragraph.' - Mary Janice Davidson 'Rollicking humor, sizzling
sexual tension and a spine-tingling mystery.' - Kresley Cole
Sometimes being the grim reaper really is, well, grim. And since
Charley's last case went so awry, she has taken a couple of months
off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows
up on her doorstep, convinced someone is trying to kill her,
Charley has to pull herself together. In the meantime, the sexy,
sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, is out of prison and out of
Charley's life, as per her wishes and several perfectly timed death
threats. But his absence has put a serious crimp in her sex life.
While there are other things to consider, like the fact that the
city of Albuquerque has been taken hostage by an arsonist, Charley
is having a difficult time staying away. Especially when it looks
like Reyes may be involved. Just when life was returning to normal,
Charley is thrust back into the world of crime, punishment and the
devil in blue jeans in this hilarious fourth instalment in the New
York Times bestselling series.
