SECOND GRAVE ON THE LEFT

BY DARYNDA JONES

ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK: 

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.

AN EXCERPT FROM SECOND GRAVE ON THE LEFT:

Chapter One

Grim reapers are to die for. —T-shirt Seen often on Charlotte Jean Davidson, Grim Reaper Extraordinaire.

“Charley, hurry, wake up.”

Fingers with pointy nails bit into my shoulders, doing their darnedest to vanquish the fog of sleep I’d been marinating in. They shook me hard enough to cause a small earthquake in Oklahoma. Since I lived in New Mexico, this was a problem.

Judging by the quality and pitch of the intruder’s voice, I was fairly certain the person accosting me was my best friend Cookie. I let an annoyed sigh slip through my lips, resigning myself to the fact that my life was a series of interruptions and demands. Mostly demands. Probably because I was the only grim reaper this side of Mars, the only portal to the other side the departed could cross through. At least, those who hadn’t cross right after they died and were stuck on Earth. Which was a freaking lot. Having been born the grim reaper, I couldn’t remember a time when dead people weren’t knocking on my door—metaphorically as dead people rarely knocked—asking for my assistance with some unfinished business. It amazed me how many of the dearly departed forgot to turn off the stove.

For the most part, those who cross through me simply feel they’ve been on Earth long enough. Enter the reaper. Aka, moi. The departed can see me from anywhere in the world and can cross to the other side through me. I’ve been told I’m like a beacon as bright as a thousand suns, which would suck for a departed with a martini hangover.

I’m Charlotte Davidson: private investigator, police consultant, all around badass. Or I could’ve been a badass had I stuck with those lessons in mixed martial arts. TO READ THE REST OF THIS EXCERPT, GO TO DARYNDA'S WEBSITE HERE.

MY THOUGHTS:

After reading FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT, I felt it only fair to read the next book in the Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper Series. I wasn't crazy for the first book so am giving this one a try. I apologize for not being finished by the time I posted this but I will tell you that so far, this second book is much funnier than the first. Perhaps it is because I have more background having made it through the first in the series. I am not sure but I really think it is because this is not a genre I normally read so had difficulty with the first one, especially getting into it. 

SECOND GRAVE ON THE LEFT is again a mystery about Charley, the Grim Reaper, but not as you usually think of one. The case she is solving this time does also bring back the character Reyes Alexander Farrow who I would say is the love interest...that is if the "Son of Satan" can be considered in those terms. Anyway, I know there are many fans of Darynda Jones who loved FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT, and I am sure this second installment will also be a pleasure for you to read. I do strongly suggest that this is a series in which you should read the books in order. Off to finish and good luck!
