If
you’ve read and enjoyed Club Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, #3)
by Charlaine Harris, Undead and Unappreciated (Undead, #3)
by Mary Janice Davidson, and Checkmate (Neighbor from Hell, #3)
by R.L. Mathewson than you will LOVE this book!!!
Basic Summary
Paranormal private eye. Grim reaper extraordinaire. Whatever.
Charley Davidson is back! And she’s
drinking copious amounts of caffeine to stay awake because every time she
closes her eyes she sees him: Reyes Farrow, the part-human, part-supermodel son
of Satan.
Granted she did imprison Reyes for all eternity,
but how is she supposed to solve a missing-persons case, deal with an ego-drive
doctor, calmer curmudgeonly dad, and take on a motorcycle gang hell-bent on
murder when the devil’s son just won’t
give up on his plan of seduction…and revenge?
What I Loved
Finally we get some real actual
human Reyes and Charley action! I love
incorporeal Reyes but to finally have him and Charley meet face to face is
awesome. When they first see each other I
swear I had butterflies in my stomach I was so excited. Reyes is just so awesome in so many ways and
it was great to finally have more Reyes in this story. There were definitely some exciting moments
where he is involved, and then some moments where I wanted to smack him across
the face. I liked the ending of the book
where Charley kind of tells him off in her own little way because it was exactly
what he deserved.
Also in this book there was definitely
progress of finding out what Charley’s other abilities are, and boy is she one
powerful being! At the end of the book
she shows how her powers can shake things up and scare the hell out of people
and it just made me more excited to learn more about her. Another big thing in this book was finally
meeting Mistress Marigold and finding out how she knows about Charley being the
grim reaper. That one was a definite
shock as well, and kind of ironic to top it off.
We got see some more characters enter
into the fold and I kind of the biker gang Charley has kind of made friends
with sticks around because Donovan is one hot man and can give Reyes a run for
his money! I also liked that we got to
see Charley start to mend her relationship with her sister and Gemma stick up
for Charley when it was needed. By the
end of this book you really get to see the love that Gemma has for Charley, the
same goes for her Uncle Bob as well.
Not So Much

I will say once again Charley’s father
really pisses me off and this time all on his own and had nothing to do with
Charley’s evil step-mother Denise. He
really shows his true asshole by the end of the book and my heart really broke
for her towards the end.
Overall
Wow this book was awesome! There is so much going on and so much to learn
in this one that I hung on every single word.
This one was definitely filled with tons of action that had me gasping a
couple times and me having to pick my chin off the ground. I’m pretty sure my blood pressure went
through the roof by the time I was done reading. This book was filled with some close calls
when it came to Charley’s life ending more so than before and if you have read
the other books that’s saying a lot. By
the time I was finished reading though you really got see just how deep Charley
cares for the people in her life like Cookie and her daughter Amber. You also get to see just how crushed and hurt
she can be when someone she trusts and loves betrays her, and that happened a
couple times. You do learn just how
powerful Charley can be but I have feeling this is only the tip of the ice burg
and there is way more to learn about Charley and many gifts. I
loved that by the end of the book Gemma and Uncle Bob were valiantly standing
up for Charley showing that maybe there are good people out there. This book ended on a bittersweet note because
people we thought died didn't really die but also Charley was physically and
emotionally injured and I’m anxious to see how all this will play out in the
next book.
