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.

      Paranormal private eye Charley Davidson must make a deal with the son of Satan in order to save her sisterâs life in this thrilling new addition to the supernatural series from Jones. Narrator Lorelei Kingâs inspired interpretation of Jonesâs characters allows listeners to truly lose themselves in this otherworldly tale. Kingâs delivery is well paced and simple, and her characterizations lend the book an air of believability and immediacy. Kingâs Charley is tough, sexy, and brave without ever being overtly so. The supporting characters allow Charley to grow and expand, and listeners will get a full spectrum of emotion from their heroine. Inspired, realistic, and entertaining, Kingâs performance ability is the perfect medium for Jonesâs witty and cunning prose. A St. Martinâs hardcover.

      Paranormal PI and grim reaper Charley Davidson is back in Jones's latest spicy, funny series (after Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet). Her new next-door neighbor, the sexy Reyes Farrow, is not only the son of Satan, he's also the main suspect in an arson investigation. But when Charley's apartment fills with several dozen dead women, all blond, silent, and terrified, she knows something truly terrible is happening. Lorelei King continues to provide superb narration, adding great depth to the characters. Truly laugh-out-loud moments interspersed with high suspense and some very enlightening backstory thrown in, mixed with a handful of sizzling scenes, make a most excellent addition to the series. VERDICT Recommended for readers who would enjoy a supernatural and snarky Stephanie Plum. [See the Q&A between author Jones and narrator King, p. 44.]--Donna Bachowski, Orange Cty. Lib. Syst., Orlando, FL

      Jones (Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet) continues dragging out the now-stale romance between PI grim reaper Charley Davidson and sexy Reyes Farrow, Son of Satan . Charley is avoiding an angry adulterer, who caught her investigating him, and the 27 dead blonde women filling her apartment. Naturally she ends up in Reyes's apartment next door, where he's living while working as a short order cook in her father's bar. Despite prophecy, the long-awaited culmination of their sexual passion does not particularly change the universe. Only Charley's best friend, Garrett Swopes, still seems interested in uncovering why Hell wants Charley, despite that supposedly being a central plot point. Though Jones's ghost-mediated murder mysteries are clever and her sex scenes are hot, the characters and jokes have worn out their welcome. If she keeps withholding the grand showdown, there's no reason for her readers to remain interested.
