As a Part-time PI and fulltime grim reaper, Charley Davidson has asked a lot of questions throughout her life: Why can I see dead people? Who is the hot supernatural entity following me? How do I get gum out of my sister’s hair before she wakes up? But, “How do I trap not one malevolent god, but three?” was never among them. Until now. And since those gods are on earth to kill her daughter, she has little choice but to track them down, trap them, and cast them from this dimension.
There’s just one problem. One of the three stole her heart a very long time ago. Can the Razer, a god of absolute death and destruction, change his omniscient spots, or will his allegiances lie with his brothers?
Those are just a few of the questions Charley must answer, and quick. Add to that a homeless girl running for her life, an innocent man who’s been charged with murder, and a pendant made from god glass that has the entire supernatural world in an uproar, and Charley has her hands full. If she can manage to take care of the whole world-destroying-gods thing, we’re saved. If not, well…
My Thoughts :
Another superb installment in the Charley Davidson series awaits fans in The Curse of Tenth Grave. It has everything that, anyone following the series, would expect from Darynda's amazing series about Grim Reaper Charley Davidson. The continuing story is filled with the usually wit and fun while the regular characters show up when they are needed and sometimes when they are not. The plot in this tenth installment is on par with all the previous books and there isn't a bad word you can actually say about this or any of the installments in this fantastically original series.
If you haven't already had the pleasure of reading this series then get to it as fast as you can. Charley is funny, crazy and sometimes annoying but she solves cases and looks after the good people. She even gets involved with cases that don't even pay. In this case she checks out a children's home where the inhabitants have been mysteriously dying due to a curse. All the while she tries to solve the mystery surrounding a disappearance that could see an innocent main going to jail.
But it isn't just murder and mystery in Charley's world that makes this series so readable. There is the supernatural aspect that weaves its way into the story. Ghosts, gods and lots more are all entwined in the story which gives away a few secrets in each installment. Despite many questions getting answered there are always more discoveries and twists that keep things going. Which makes this series even more exciting, addictive and original.
I absolutely love this series and even though I managed to get a review copy of the book I still waited until the Audio version came out. Why? Because this is just one of those series that is made even more special and amazing by the wonderful narrator. If you are looking for an audio, love audios or just want to try one, then I highly recommend this series. The whole sass and wit that is Charley is captured by the narrator so well. It makes the story even more enjoyable.
So in conclusion, make sure you check out this series. Make sure you start from the beginning. Oh and definitely give the audio version a chance. Can't wait for more! Keep them coming!
