Never underestimate the power of a woman on a double espresso with a mocha latte chaser high. —T-shirt Charley Davidson isn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill grim reaper. She's more of a paranormal private eye/grim reaper extraordinaire. However, she gets sidetracked when the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves in next door. To further complicate matters, Reyes is her main suspect in an arson case. Charley has vowed to stay away from him until she can find out the truth...but then dead women start appearing in her apartment, one after another, each lost, confused, and terrified beyond reason. When it becomes apparent that her own sister, Gemma, is the serial killer's next target Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyes' help. Arsonist or not, he's the one man alive who could protect Gemma no matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in return. Charley. All of her, body and soul. And to keep her sister safe, it is a price she is willing to pay. Charley Davidson is at it again in Fifth Grave Past the Light, the sexy, suspenseful, and laugh-out-loud funny fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling series by Darynda Jones.

Charley is trying to figure out her relationship to the sexy Reyes who is living next door and is the son of Satan. Charley is a grim reaper helping souls cross to the other side while working as a private eye. Blond female ghosts keep popping up in her apartment and she knows somehow this is a serial killer issue. She maintains her flippant attitude all during the book which sometimes gets a little annoying. I know its a defense mechanism but sometimes it is a bit much. But I still enjoyed the story very much.
Holy mother frickin' Louis lovin' pancake with hot sauce on top. THIS ENDING. WHAT?! Oh noes I just know it'll be downhill from here. NONONONONONONO please don't do this to me Darynda Jones. To US. Your die-hard fans. This-this ending-I'm oozing out feels. NONONONONO please don't ruin it. Don't have one of them die. Pleasepleaseplease. Though I'm assuming you love Reyes as much as we all do. Therefore, there's less of a chance of Charley and him not having a happy ending. And I know you need a conflict for each of your books so that there'd be an actual plot (however, I say screw the plot since I just want me some Charley and Reyes happy times, not just the private ones). But please, despite the number of obstacles Charley and Reyes have to go through, PLEASE have them get through those obstacles together at least. I'm begging. I know you've already written the other books at this point. So I guess I'm praying to the past you. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE.
I started this series at the suggestion of my favorite local librarian, Shannon. She knows I love anything with supernatural qualities. I got so into it, I actually went scouring for the fifth book (I'm a total bookaholic lol I ended up having to buy it on my kindle app to get my fix). I fell in love with Charley and her sarcasm and sense of humor. Ms. Jones might stray a little throughout the course of a book, but she always ties up the loose ends and doesn't leave cliffhangers.
