Charlie Davidson is pregnant with her first child. Charlie
and
her husband, the son of Lucifer have been hiding out for
eight
months, while hellhounds patrol the borders of their land
waiting for the chance to get in and attack.
All Charley wants is safety for her family and since she
is
suppose to be a God of some kind she doesn't know why she
can't just access her powers and make it all better. What
Charlie is about to get is more than a surprise and the
ending
will shock you into wishing the next book was already
written.
Darynda Jones has given readers one of the best characters
ever with Charley Davidson. She is so funny and such a
smart
aleck you can't help but laugh at her antics. The
descriptions
Charley uses to describe not only herself but those around
keep a smile on your face even when the story gets
shocking.
The ending is a complete surprise but without giving it
away I
have to say it's necessary to keep the story going. Well
done
Darynda Jones, EIGHTH GRAVE AFTER DARK is another hit and
Charley is the gift that just keeps on giving us laugh
after
laugh with a great story line.
With twelve 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
decades-old murder of the newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing
in the
shadows is almost enough to pull her out of her doldrums.
Charley’s been forbidden to step foot off the sacred
grounds. While the
angry hellhounds can’t traverse the consecrated soil, they
can lurk just
beyond its borders. They have the entire team on edge,
especially Reyes.
And if Charley didn’t know better, she would swear Reyes
is
getting sick. He
grows hotter with every moment that passes, his heat
scorching across her
skin every time he’s near, but naturally he swears he’s
fine.
While the team searches for clues on the Twelve, Charley
just wants answers
and is powerless to get them. But the mass of friends
they’ve accrued helps.
They convince her even more that everyone in her recent
life
has somehow
been drawn to her, as though they were a part of a bigger
picture all along.
But the good feelings don’t last for long because Charley
is
about to get the
surprise of her crazy, mixed-up, supernatural life….
