4 - 4.5 ★'s Charley's well into her pregnancy and well into going stir crazy from having to staying on the covenant grounds in order to be safe from the hellhounds. Of course, that doesn't stop her from looking into cases or from cases looking for her!Another action packed fast paced story from Darynda Jones. As always it had me sucked in from the beginning even if it started a bit slow. It was worth catching up on things and finding out what Charley and Reyes have been up to!I couldn't imagine

Seriously! That ending has me coming undone...I totally understand why Charley lost it...I mean, who wouldn't!? I'm scared for them all at this point. There so much uncertainty and a lot more challenges ahead and I hope Charley can pull through. Only way to find out is to dive right into the next one, even though it scares me a little because I'm hurting for Charley.

2.5 Why Don't I Love You StarsBuddy Read with some great girls Liz, Aly∞, oOSarahOo, Jo, Alexa and Jaime at Buddies Books and BaublesThis is one of my favorite series to read so it totally pains me to say ‘I didn’t really like it’. I’ve pondered my feeling about this for a few days now and there are a few things that I just can’t let go. Have you ever read a book in the series and wondered if you remembered everything from the previous book incorrectly? As we were wrapping up this book that is t...

Charley Davidson...I have always been your biggest fan. When did you become so dull?

Reviewed by: Rabid Reads.This was the first time that I’ve read a CHARLEY DAVIDSON novel, so I was a little worried that the story just wouldn’t be the same without Lorelei King’s narration, and yes I did miss her sultry voice (audiobook’s been pre-ordered!), but I regret nothing. EIGHTH GRAVE AFTER DARK was the installment that I’ve been craving since Darynda Jones began laying her trail of breadcrumbs in FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT. We get answers to oh so many questions, to the point that I’ll b...

This review is posted on Way Too Hot Books. BEFORE READING: Dear Book,What I expect from you:a) Epic Battle of Good vs. Evilb) Reyes, Charley & the rest of the gang on the winning sidec) Arrival of BeepThat about sums it up... No more unnecessary drama, por favor! AFTER READING: Now, after I've read the book, I must admit that even though I did like the story despite some "issues", I also can understand the more critical/negative reviews and even side with some of the issues the other fans o...

This instalment starts to get things back on track. Things are still a bit confusing, but starting to make more sense.Beep. Beep. Beep.I do.Beep. Beep. Beep.Well, hell! (And a hell-well!)Beepity Beep Beep.Mr. Wong!(I forgot.)

Yes, it’s finally that time of the year – Charley Davidson is back with us, in all her glory, to amuse and entertain, to make us laugh and even break our hearts. Charley’s world is becoming more complicated by the second. Eighth Grave finally offers some answers, but with them come even more questions and uncertainties. Darynda Jones knows how to give us just enough, intrigue us even more, and leave us begging for the next installment. Eighth Grave is more static than the previous book due to Ch...

Well, that was some ending! Got a lot of answers and revelations which I was thrilled about. We found out exactly who Mr. Wong is!! Finally! (view spoiler)[ Am I dreaming or is there some sort of Renessmae thing going on with Osh'ekiel (the Daeva) and BEEP? (hide spoiler)]I still cringe over Charley's recklessness, especially since she was either pregnant or had a baby! I wanted to shake her a few times and say "Do you think of your family at all?!!" I totally understand every time Reyes gets a...

BR with Liz, Aly∞, Jo, Robin, Alexa & Jaime starting May 19, 2015. DNF at 27%▧ Warning #1: I'm in a very bad mood today. I've only slept for three hours. And I feel like punching someone. This is not going to go well. ▧ Warning #2: this review contains spoiler. And I don't give a damn. I'm insensitive like that.▧ Warning #3: this review might contain spoilers about Fever. Yes Fever. And I'm not sure I give a damn about that either at this point. Hell JZB would probably kick my ass if he knew. Ac...

Why did I finish the 7th book so quickly? I just couldn't stop myself! I had to keep reading. I need my fix for Reyes, Charley's crazy humor, Cookie's awesomeness, and SERIOUSLY what is with these endings! THATS how you're going to end it? I need to know what's going on now. That Dealer is looking better and better. Oh and have you seen the cover? Love it :)Review:Wow! Darynda, how do you do it?! 5 stars and I'd give it more if I could! Just wow! This book answered so many questions I've had for...

"Lover Awakened... Weren't you reading this book last month?""No."He raised a brow."Yes. I can't stop. I've read it twenty seven times in a row." sighSo, Charley is prego and about to pop. I like that she constantly has to pee and lives her life from one food moment to the next. That's about right. Along with this: I weighed too much. It was Beep's fault. Apparently, she weighed around eighty-seven pounds. Silly, fat babies! They make us gain 30 pounds during pregnancy and then have the ner

Charley still caffeine free and ready to pop. Her and super sexy hubby Reyes are hiding out on sacred ground while the gang looks for way to kill the hounds and the 12 that hunt them and the future.That is all I'm going to tell you. I had to suffer and wait and you should too. Enjoy the ride not knowing where the turns will be because this is an E ticket.I laughed, cried, laughed and cried, and then I cried ugly, real ugly.I loved it, the only flaw was that it ended too soon. I only wanted a co

Book Blog | BookstagramIt physically hurts to say this, but I must tell the truth: I did not like this book.I really do love this series and the characters have a special place in my heart, but WHAT IN THE HOLY-HELL IS GOING ON?This can be my problem with a long-running series: at some point, the author wants to take things to a new, unexpected level, but because the story has been going on for so long the only place left to take readers is right off the fucking rails.And this is the book in Cha...

2.5 stars - SpoilersThis was difficult to rate, on the one hand I hated it for a multitude of reasons but on the other I enjoyed the familiarity of the characters and the world, and there were parts that were enjoyable in a mindless, fluffy kind of way. And underneath all of Charley's idiocy and hornyness for Reyes there was actually a solid story.What I Liked:-Skipping ahead to the end of Charley's pregnancy. I really didn't want to read more than one book of Charley acting all cute and precoci...

I loved the first 5 books in the series, but they have gone progressively downhill since. This series used to be UF/PNR. Now it’s practically a cozy mystery with a paranormal twist because Charley doesn’t do shit and figures everything out by talking to people. Except she doesn’t talk to anyone she really needs to and winds up in trouble because she thinks she knows best. The thing this book needed most was a plot. Almost nothing happened. The only reason I finished it was because I heard the en...

Darynda is a force to be reckoned with. Not only that she has outdone herself, she just about blew my mind. Eighth Grave After Dark is the game changer of the series, and a definite must read of the year.In the safety of a convent, Charley and Reyes are biding their time waiting for Beep to come. They continue to research on how to rid of the twelve hellhounds who are after Charley. Friends and relatives including Garrett, Angel and allies from the other side help them look for clues to solv

Well that was freaking depressing.I also disliked how the last 30 mins or so switched from being narrated by Charley to narrated by Reyes.Too weird when it was the same voices on the audio track.I hope this series picks up and brings back the fun it started with.

I was lucky enough to win an ARC copy of this book! I don't write reviews too often, but here was my take on the book:*SPOILERS** I'm going to try not to give a lot details away, yet still review what I liked and disliked. I rated this book 4/5 stars. I'm pretty sure I gave all the other books thus far 5/5. I absolutely love Charley and all her quirkiness, and while this is still present, I didn't feel there was as much as there has been in previous books. Charley's humor and antics are one of m...

So now I have to wait for E V E R for the next 3 books - that sucks! This series has become one of my favorite Urban Fantasies, almost at the level of Kate D. and I resent that they are both still developing... I used to have a rule that I do not read a series before its last book is published, but I have not been good at keeping with it lately... I still do not like Reyes. He is still a domineering jerk and I wish he would learn to listen to others... This first-react-later-think is what is wro...
