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 canβt 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.
Charleyβs been forbidden to step foot off the sacred
grounds. While the
angry hellhounds canβt traverse the consecrated soil, they
can lurk just
beyond its borders. They have the entire team on edge,
especially Reyes.
And if Charley didnβt 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 heβs near, but naturally he swears heβs
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
theyβve 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 donβt last for long because Charley
is
about to get the
surprise of her crazy, mixed-up, supernatural lifeβ¦.
