Second Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones
Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper Extraordinaire, is back in this sexy, suspenseful novel of supernatural shenanigans
When Charley is rudely awakened in the middle of the night by her best friend who tells her to get dressed quickly and tosses clothes out of the closet at her, she can’t help but wonder what Cookie’s up to. Leather scrunch boots with a floral miniskirt? Together? Seriously? Cookie explains that a friend of hers named Mimi disappeared five days earlier and that she just got a text from her setting up a meet at a coffee shop downtown. They show up at the coffee shop, but no Mimi. But Charley finds a message on the bathroom wall. Mimi left a clue, a woman’s name. Mimi’s husband explains that his wife had been acting strange since she found out an old friend of hers from high school had been found murdered a couple weeks prior. The same woman Mimi had named in her message.
Meanwhile, Reyes Alexander Farrow (otherwise known as the Son of Satan. Yes. Literally) has left his corporeal body and is haunting Charley. He’s left his body because he’s being tortured by demons who want to lure Charley closer. But Reyes can’t let that happen. Because if the demons get to Charley, they’ll have a portal to heaven. And if they have a portal to heaven…well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be pretty. Can Charley handle hot nights with Reyes and even hotter days tracking down a missing woman? Will Cookie ever get a true fashion sense? And is there enough coffee and chocolate in the world to fuel them as they do?
Here is your signpost for the most hilarious read of the summer: Second Grave On The Left.
It’s a pretty quiet week this week, so I’ve picked titles from all across the board. I’m anxious to get my hands on Second Grave on the Left! Is there anything here that tickles your fancy? Or anything big I might have missed? I even picked out a kid’s book and when my daughter saw it she got so excited, lol. Guess what I’ll be picking up with the book funds…
Hope you all have a great week 🙂
I want this book, I reviewed the first grave last fall and now I want to know what happens but I have to many TBR books right now it will have to wait darn-it.
@Lisa – I know what you mean! But I really have to find out more about Reyes 😉
Guess what I just got on Audible? YAY the new Darynda Jones!!
I am sick of the book I'm listening to right now. I cannot wait to change and listen to this one instead!
yuck Reyes yuck!
@Caro – Congrats! I'm in over my head at the moment but will get it as soon as I can 🙂 And what's this about Reyes?! You don't like him? I just need to know how good or bad he is, lol.
@Jackie I don't know I don't like him much. I liked the detective more. Reyes seemed just …too much! *shrug* He seemed unreal while listening to the book. We'll see how it goes in book 2 😉
@Caro – I think I just felt really bad for him, considering that scene in the alley. I can't wait to hear what you think (in a non-spoilery way 😉
I'm really looking forward to Second Grave. Thanks for the info.
Chain Reaction! So want to read this book. Simone Elkeles is one of my favorite YA author beside Julie Kagawa.
I'm not read the first book of Darynda Jones yet. Must catch up 🙁
