Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
I absolutely love this series and have had them on pre-order since I read the very first installment. It is fun, witty, very sexy, and completely packed with mysteries and action that never drag the story down. Quite the opposite, if anything, our protagonist has attention deficit and you feel it coming from the pages since she's tackling so many different things at the same time, meanwhile distracting herself with her own inner ramblings. For some, this is distracting, but I find it campy and engaging. If you haven't read any of the previous installments, this is not the first place to start. The fifth book brings a very satisfying turning point to a rather stalled relationship that I find to be one of the most compelling and unique couplings in paranormal romance and the fantastic supporting characters are all back without recaps of who they are and what they do.

The story begins with Charley back in the swing of things working on your typical infidelity investigation, but her workload gets much larger when traumatized ghosts, ranging in ages from 7 to 35, all women with blond hair, start turning up in her apartment. Charley also finds herself completely stumped when she tracks down a body from one of her ghostly visitors only to find she's not a ghost. With backlogged cases, family matters and most importantly, relationship issues, Charley finally makes a decision about what she wants from her long list of boyfriend potentials.

This installment is simply non-stop. Like the other installments, multiple mysteries unfold in the beginning, but this one piles on even more mysteries, red herrings, violence, possible alliances and potential antagonists for future stories.

I love Charley Davidson. In this fifth installment of the series, she continues to discover her powers as grim reaper as she deals with threats to herself and to those she loves. There is plenty of Charley's quirky humor to make me laugh out loud, and her helper/assistant/sidekick Cookie is always good for attitude and humor as Charley enrolls Cookie in a gun safety class to protect the public from Cookie's gun-wielding penchant.

Reyes is as gorgeous, dark, mysterious and compelling as ever, and as Charley learns more about him, she decides to stop resisting his allure. How convenient that he has moved into the adjoining apartment!

Murdered women are congregating in Charley's apartment. Charley is hunting the bad guys, as usual, while the police captain seems to be hunting Charley; he wants to know how she has managed to solve so many murder cases and is determined to discover her secret.

So we have plots within plots: murder mysteries, family conflicts, love, and sex, all presented through Charley's rather bizarre sense of humor. I looked forward to the release of this installment, and I was not disappointed!

This is hands down one of my favorite series ever. And even knowing that- I b**ched when I saw the $11 kindle price tag. But let me tell you ladies & gents- this book is TOTALLY worth $11. It's epic, stupendous, and hilarious. Darynda has this amazing ability to write such funny, touching, mysterious, exciting, and still romantic/erotic storylines. She blends the best of what makes up paranormal fiction into one amazing book. I'm still reeling from the last few chapters of the book. Wow. Way to go out with a BANG Darynda!

This book taught me a few important things about Darynda's writing. It's now apparent to me that Darynda doesn't seem to waste character space on inconsequential things. Even tiny things later become HUGE parts of the storyline. And while some of it is so glaring obvious (I saw a few things coming from a mile away) she dangles these "obvious" carrots in front of our faces and WHAM side swipes us with something we didn't (or at least I didn't) see coming. Knowing this I'm now piecing together all sorts of little "inconsequential" things from this book and seeing if I can come to my own conclusions as to what's in for store with Charley and the gang in the next installment.

On one final note to Darynda- thank you. Thank you for bringing Reyes Farrow into my life. He is a god among men. He is epically HOT, carnal, and hidden in among all his growls and glares there's a real romantic. Nothing hotter than a tough guy who despite all of his many faults (which he doesn't hold back from pointing out to Charley in this book) still manages to love that one special girl. I gotta admit- I'm worried sick about what'll happen between Charley & Reyes. Darynda throws a ton of premonitions at us in this book. And while it's great to have some more answers... those answers aren't exactly comforting. I figure we just gotta have faith and hope that two people who seem so destined for each other isn't a bad thing.

For those new to the series, Charley Davidson is The Grim Reaper. Yes, that's "the" with a capital T. Only instead of her approaching people as they die, those that have already died and are finally ready to move on approach her shining light as she's the portal to the next realm. She works as a PI that consults for the local police department, specifically for her uncle whose close rates have the precinct captain following her to see how she does it. Her secret is the fact that she sees and communicates with ghosts and gets information from them. Oh, and she has a relationship with the very sexy son of Satan, Reyes.

The ghosts of 27 blonde women start showing up in Charley's apartment, only they're all so traumatized that they don't even acknowledge her presence; all except for a girl under her bed who is about seven. But even she isn't talking. So part of the book deals with discovering what happened to them. An arsonist is also burning down the buildings where Reyes had lived and she's not sure how to ask him if he's doing it as she'd have to have him arrested if he's guilty.

There are changes with this latest story. First, Charley had been suffering PTSD in the last book and she's much better now. But her lack of sleeping in the last book had her slap happy and the humor was much more laugh out loud--like it was in prior books--than in this tale. There's still humor and Charley is still as sarcastic as ever, but the humor feels more subdued, almost like Charley has matured. Another big change is her relationship with Reyes who has a bigger role which also provides humor and the intimacy has moved to a new level. We also learn about a number of really old prophecies regarding Charley and the real reason Reyes was sent to her.
