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.
