Description

Grim Reaper Charley Davidson is back in Eleventh Grave in Moonlight, the latest installment of Darynda Jones’ New York Times bestselling paranormal series.

My entire life can be summed up in one sentence:

“Well, that didn’t go as planned.”
—T-Shirt

A typical day in the life of Charley Davidson involves cheating husbands, errant wives, missing people, philandering business owners, and, oh yeah...demons, hell hounds, evil gods, and dead people. Lots and lots of dead people. As a part time Private Investigator and full-time Grim Reaper, Charley has to balance the good, the bad, the undead, and those who want her dead.

Now, Charley is learning to make peace with the fact that she is a goddess with all kinds of power and that her own daughter has been born to save the world from total destruction. But the forces of hell are determined to see Charley banished forever to the darkest corners of another dimension. With the son of Satan himself as her husband and world-rocking lover, will Charley be able to defeat the ultimate evil and find a way to have her happily ever after after all?

    I have read all the Charley and Reyes books and this book is excellent! There is so much going on here and Charley learns so much. Reyes teaches her to dissolve and her uncle sacrifices for her. Osh protects their daughter. It ends with a twist.. Read and look forward to the next book! I hope this series will continue longer.

    The Charley Davidson series is one of my favorite must-read/must-listen to series available. I not only have to read the books as soon as they are released, but I have to listen to the audiobook as well. I honestly hear Lorelei King's voice in my head as I read the book, and don't feel as if my reading experience is complete until I've read and listened to the books. I enjoyed Eleventh Grave in Moonlight. It seemed to start off slower than past books, but once it got going, it was pretty much non-stop action. We get to spend time with Charley, Reyes, and their entire crew. The humor is present as always and the sexy times with Reyes and Charley are as hot as ever. I really liked that while there were a few new issues to come to light, we also got answers for what was going on with Ubie. We also discovered new rules that Charley has to live by as a God, and learned why so many angels were following Charley and Reyes. The case Charley works on is more personal than normal since it deals with the people who kidnapped Reyes. I wasn't sure where we were headed with The Diviners cult, but actually liked the part of the story way more than I anticipated. I usually want the focus to be so much on Charley, Reyes, and crew. I don't always love the PI portion of the story. I think because there was such a connection to Reyes and even BEP with this part of the story, I found myself pulled in so much more. I will say the cliffhanger type ending is not my favorite type of ending. However, it definitely isn't the first time Ms. Jones has done this, so it didn't really shock me when it happened. The ending of Eleventh Grave in Moonlight has me eagerly awaiting The Trouble with Twelfth Grave's release in October. Rating: 4 Stars (B) Review copy provided by publisher

    I wanted to scream when I finished this book. I discovered the series a couple of months ago and have been slowly working my way through them, trying to savor and time it so that I would reach this 11th one around the time of release. I read a lot of books and I rarely, possibly never, have stuck with a series this long before! I usually get bored of a series at some point around the middle and switch to something else. Charley Davidson does not get tiresome. There are never any parts where I feel compelled to skip ahead and cut to the chase. All of the books are so well-paced, witty, with lovable characters, and non-stop action/suspense/plot twists. A couple of the twists were maybe a little questionable but overall I have loved every book and am now so attached to these characters. Not to mention, the romance. I don’t know of any other author who could keep a love story alive for 11 books and counting but Darynda manages to pull it off. I’ll be anxiously waiting for the next book to come out!

    I received this ARC for an honest review. To tell I truth, I am normally nervous about a series when we get to this many books. I normally stop reading them because of the turn the author takes the characters, but this is not the case with Charley Davison series. I still want to know more! It is not just about the quality of her writing, but I love the humor of Charley. She is still snarky and silly. I, also, like the supporting chararters especially Cookie. She gives Charley the stable friendship she needs. I finished this book in record time. I don't like to post spoilers so I won't talk about what happened in the book. This series is still a must read for me.
