About this ebook
Grim Reaper Charley Davidson is back in the twelfth installment of Darynda Jones’ New York Times bestselling paranormal series, The Trouble with Twelfth Grave.
Ever since Reyes Farrow escaped from a hell dimension in which Charley Davidson accidentally trapped him, the son of Satan has been brimstone-bent on destroying the world his heavenly Brother created. His volatile tendencies have put Charley in a bit of a pickle. But that’s not the only briny vegetable on her plate. While trying to domesticate the feral being that used to be her husband, she also has to deal with her everyday life of annoying all manner of beings—some corporeal, some not so much—as she struggles to right the wrongs of society. Only this time she’s not uncovering a murder. This time she’s covering one up.
Add to that her new occupation of keeping a startup PI venture—the indomitable mystery-solving team of Amber Kowalski and Quentin Rutherford—out of trouble and dealing with the Vatican’s inquiries into her beloved daughter, and Charley is on the brink of throwing in the towel and becoming a professional shopper. Or possibly a live mannequin. But when someone starts attacking humans who are sensitive to the supernatural world, Charley knows it’s time to let loose her razor sharp claws. Then again, her number one suspect is the dark entity she’s loved for centuries. So the question becomes: Can she tame the unruly beast before it destroys everything she’s worked so hard to protect?

3.5 stars. The Trouble With Twelfth Grave is the twelfth book in the Charley Davidson series. This can be read as a standalone but all of the books build on the main storyline so I encourage you to read these books in order. Those book ends in a cliffhanger. There is violence and hot steamy sex scenes so 18+. The book blurb adequately describes the storyline so I'm not going to repeat that all of that info here. The storyline is predictable and typical of the other books in the series. But this book is still worth reading, especially if you are a Charley Davidson fan like I am. I will continue to read the more of the series when they are written. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and chose to leave a review for other readers.

First let me say, I love these books and this one is no exception. So many places, had me laughing uncontrollably with tears streaming down my face (it is so hard to read with tears between your eyes and reading glasses). Excellent story, the end left things hanging and I dislike thinking we are close to the end of this wonderful series but now am anticipating the next. Rock on Darynda.

This is the penultimate story in this series and it is packed full of all manner of goodies.... emotional thrills and chills, sexy fun, witty banter, devious danger, earth shaking secrets and heart pounding twists that will leave you breathless. Can Charley and company really save the world from total destruction or is the end inevitable? Can't wait to read the last and final book in this series but at the same time I am sad that the series is ending. Love this magical and exciting world.
