Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson #3)
I almost busted out the 'because I have to finish the series' shelf for this one. Definitely not my favourite. Things were already kind of OTT and they definitely got worse in THIRD GRAVE DEAD AHEAD. Not to mention one aspect of the Murder-ish Mystery of the Week was painfully obvious and hurt my soul. The romance continues to frustrate me almost as much as some of the ridiculously stupid interactions between Charley and her bestie/secretary Cookie. But I still live with scenes with the uncle.
There comes a moment when you know you just arent going to do anything else productive for the rest of the day. I needed a quick pick-me-up, so I thought why not turn to my favorite grim reaper, Charley Davidson! Book 3 picks up shortly after the events of book 2. Charley must deal with the fallout from what she did to Reyes. She also must stay awake to avoid intimate encounters with the son of Satan, so she has been awake for almost two weeks, which does not put her in the best state of mind.
The UF genre needs more series like Charley Davidson, and more heroines like Charley. Series like this are the reason I became obsessed with the genre in the first place. Series that make me seriously entertain the thought of an alternate world out there, one where the Son of Satan grim reapers, werewolves, vampires, angels, and the whole lot run free. I've always considered a healthy belief in "What if's" to be essential for one's mental growth, so no, I'm not at all concerned about my sanity
When I start a new series I like to keep going until I finish it, but Charley Davidson is making it tricky for me!Charley herself is good apart from a tendency to make too many dumb jokes. I really enjoy her weird abilities and the way she sees ghosts. They make some of the best characters in the book! However her love interest leaves me disinterested. Reyes may have arms of steel (?) but he makes himself totally unattractive with his temper tantrums and the way he treats Charley. So much
Some Spoilers Charley, Danger and Will Robinson are back and better than ever. Charley is trying her best to stay awake to avoid Reyes who is visiting her in her sleep. Reyes is furiuos that Charley bound his incorperal self to his human body, thus leaving him vunerable. Even though he's angry at Charley he can't help smexing her up when he sees her. There's a lot of tension and resentment between Charley and Reyes, both hurting one other in order to protect the other. Unfortunatley for
3.5 StarsAs usual I laughed my ass off (got weird looks from my hubby all the while, lol!) at Charleys antics. The mystery was addictive, but I put a few things together way before Charley should have. I was surprised by at how things got serious real quick and there were grisly parts that creeped me out and wrenched my heart! Darynda really put Charley through the ringer in this installment! Betrayals from loved ones and something sad at the end made me feel terrible for Charley! I wished we
