It seems that Darynda Jones is incapable of writing a bad
book. In book ten
of the Charley
Davidson series, readers are thrown back into the
wonderful,
quirky world of our favorite private investigator. Quite a
number of events have happened leading up to this moment, so
I would
suggest reading the series in order. However, Jones does
give a good recap
of events in the beginning of the book, helping as a nice
refresher for her
loyal fans as well.
This book tackles a lot of unanswered questions and in an
attempt to be
spoiler free for the other books in the series, I'll simply
say that Charley has a
whole lot of stuff going on. From the homeless girl running
for her life, an
innocent man who is being charged for a murder and a pendant
made of god
glass, there's a lot going on. But, I never once felt
bombarded with the many
story threads that this novel had. Jones has an easy to read
and easy to
follow narrative that will no doubt keep readers engaged
from the very first
page. It also helps that Charley has such an endearing
personality that you
can't help but love her. All the side characters are just
as magnetic and lively
as Charley, making for an all around good time.
Of course, I have to mention Reyes who has become one of my
favorite
heroes. He's just so deliciously mysterious. I'm always
dying to know what's
going on in that head of his, but that is especially true
for this book. He's
hiding things from Charley and it's now causing a riff
between them, making
me worried about the state of their relationship. But of
course, to find out
what happens, you'll have to read the book yourself!
If you like your Urban Fantasy with a heady dose of humor,
you don't want to
miss out on the adventures that Charley Davidson gets
herself into. She's
truly a one of a kind heroine that I adore.
If one door closes and another one opens, your house is probably haunted. —Bumper Sticker As a Part-time PI and fulltime 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 malevolent 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. There’s just one problem. One of the three stole her heart a very long time ago. Can the Razer, a god of absolute death and destruction, change his omniscient spots, or will his allegiances lie with his brothers? Those are just a few of the questions Charley must answer, and quick. Add to that a homeless girl running for her life, an innocent man who’s been charged with murdering the daughter of a degenerate gambler, and a pendant made from god glass that has the entire supernatural world in an uproar, and 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…
