Paranormal private eye. Grim reaper extraordinaire. Whatever. Charley Davidson is back! And she's drinking copious amounts of caffeine to stay awake because, every time she closes her eyes, she sees him: Reyes Farrow, the part-human, part-supermodel son of Satan. Yes, she did imprison him for all eternity, but come on. How is she supposed to solve a missing persons case, deal with an ego-driven doctor, calm her curmudgeonly dad, and take on a motorcycle gang hellbent on murder when the devil's son just won't give up?
At A Glance
Daaaaaamn!
The Good
Another amazing book from Darynda Jones. I seriously love these characters so bad! Charley is still hilarious. Cookie is the perfect sidekick and bestie. Reyes is so naughty! Garrett, God, I about died with his storyline. So dark! Uncle Bob, always the solid person in Charley’s life. Charley’s dad, I am not liking him right now. Then we have some new characters. I am in love with the biker gang. They are hilarious and kind of scary so it makes it more fun! Even their dog is awesome.
Charley is trying to find the missing wife of a possessive doctor. Though that plotline was a bit predictable, I still had fun with it. Reyes is now stuck with his body, thanks to Charley, so he is torturing her by sexing her up in her dreams. How torturous! 😉 He is kind of a jerk but for some reason I just don’t care. Ugh, hot guys always get a pass.
We get some of our burning questions answered. Charley is slowly coming into her own, but still very slowly. I am excited for the next book.
The Bad
I wanted a little more focus on what’s happening with Charley (and Reyes) than on “normal” PI cases, but whatever. It was still good.
The Snuggly
Wow. WOW! Reyes, you are such a bad boy!
Final Thoughts
Read this book and series. Now. That is all.

“At first, I could lie about my lack of sleep and she’d fall for it, but she started suspecting insomnia when I began seeing purple elephants in the air vents at the office. I knew I shouldn’t have asked her about them. I thought maybe she’d redecorated.”

‘Sure. I took a power nap on the way over.’
‘Didn’t you drive there?’
‘Yeah. Other drviers kept waking me up. Car horns should be illegal.”
