Forget You Not was a wonderful introduction to the world of Havenwood Falls. Being a person that just has to read series in order if at all possible, I really enjoyed getting the “first look” at the town along with Kaela as she takes on her dream job in the remote Colorado city.
But she soon discovers that the town really isn’t all that new to her. As she rediscovers all memories, she has to face the fact that someone has been messing around with her life – and in a way that has some pretty bad consequences – like really really bad.
But this is a romance, and it’s an interesting twist on long lost lovers – because Kaela doesn’t actually remember him at first. I loved the twist and turns that begin to bring them back together. And the rich backdrop of Havenwood Falls and its residents is one I look forward to visiting again.

Two years ago, Kaela Peters nearly killed her fiancé by ripping his throat out. Once she gained control over her vampire urges, she hoped to rekindle their love, only to find him on one knee again – now with her best friend. She can’t blame them for their betrayal, though. They’ve been compelled to forget that she even existed. But she can’t forget them, so when she receives an unexpected job offer, far away in the Colorado mountains, she seizes the opportunity to escape her past and the painful memories…
If only she’d known she was running right into her true past and memories that cut even deeper…
Her real name isn’t Kaela Peters, Havenwood Falls and her new job are not what they seem on the surface, and the love of her life isn’t the ex in Atlanta. As she starts piecing together the fragmented memories of her past and her moroi heritage, the passion of old love reignites. Until she discovers that the triggering of her vampire gene may have been foul play with dire consequences – and Xandru Roca, the epic love she’d left behind, has something to do with it all!

I loved Third Grave Dead Ahead. Some amazing characters are introduced in the form of a biker gang – and I’m not sure if I’m really supposed to be rooting for them, but I want to. They are a super rough bunch of guys – but super sweet as well.
When Charley’s dad tells her she needs to get out of the business – there’s a huge falling out – and this comes into play big time as the book wraps up. It triggers some pretty major revelations about Charley that you won’t want to miss.
Meanwhile, Reyes seems to be haunting her dreams – so she decided not to sleep while she searches for another missing woman with an over-controlling husband with a nasty history.
Another beautiful job narrating. I always get such a kick out of these books and I have a hard time pressing the pause button to go back to real life.

Yes, she did imprison him for all eternity, but come on.

Second Grave on the Left was full of amazing information on some of my favorite characters. Charley is on the hunt for a missing woman that is friends with best friend, Cookie. The case has Charley chasing a trail of clues with some pretty surprising twists and turns.
Meanwhile, it turns out Reyes is far more than what we thought at first. When Charley finds out he’s the Son of Satan (like, for real), she’s forced to accept that she doesn’t know all there is to know about the world around her and even her own abilities.
Second Grave on the Right not only includes an awesome mystery, it sets a huge stage for some pretty amazing things to come. Darynda Jones doesn’t disappoint with Charley’s sarcasm and sense of humor. Her personality plays so well with Cookie’s, and their conversations are some of the best I’ve ever read.
