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.

Council of Nereth Excerpt
©2019 T.J. Amberson
Suddenly, the Berax let out another screech, toppled off of Edlyn, and collapsed onto the leaves that covered the ground. Edlyn pulled herself to her feet. She froze when she saw the silhouette of a man crouched beside the Berax. The man swiftly raised an arm, and the flash of his dagger’s blade caught the moonlight before he thrust his weapon into the monster’s side again. The Berax was dead.
Edlyn staggered and dropped her sword, a torrent of emotions crashing down upon her.
“Maddock,” she whispered.
“Are you hurt?” she heard him ask.
At the sound of his voice, Edlyn swayed again, the shock still so acute that she could barely reply. “I am not hurt.”
Maddock came toward her. Like Edlyn, he was breathing fast. Once he got close, Edlyn could see that Maddock’s clothes were dirtied and worn, and his hair had grown longer since she had seen him last. But Maddock’s eyes—dark and penetrating—had not changed.
