Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet (Charley Davidson #4)
by
Darynda Jones (Goodreads Author)
Welcome to the world of grim reaper extraordinaire, Charley Davidson. Try as she might, there's no avoiding her destiny.
Sometimes being the grim reaper really is, well, "grim." And since Charley's last case went so awry, she has taken a couple of months off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep convinced someone is trying to kill...more

Another amazing ride with Charley and Reyes. Not sure if I'll write a full review, but I'll try ;)

For some reason I had thought that this would be a trilogy...hmmm, I am not complaining!*Fist Pump*

Considering I have a ton of ARCs I should really be catching up on, and considering how much I love Charley, I really should have known better than to tell myself, "Just one chapter!" But it didn't even take a chapter, I was hooked by the opening paragraph.

After what happened in the last book, Charley is going through some heavy stuff. She's having a hard time sleeping and spending most of her money at the Buy From Home Channel. Thank goodness Cookie comes to the rescue and puts a stop to that. And also thank goodness for Harper showing up...a new client!

I really can't wait for this next book. Sigh~ Unfortunately, I have to wait for it for a year. I really LOVE this Book Series! I really like the personalities of all the characters in the book. Please Darynda Jones!! Don't take it a year for you to finish a book! 'I'm dying here' *wink* XD
Spoilers and Rant
-The majority of the story was predictable and pointless. The book begins with Charley moaning about her agoraphobia — she's not left her flat or worked a case for 2 months since she was tortured. Anyway, that changes quickly enough when she takes on a case for a woman who's been tormented by a mystery somebody and just like that Charley's agoraphobia and emotional scars seem to vanish and she goes on her merry way to investigate the girl's tormentor. There were a few times Char...more

Darynda has outdone herself again! Seriously, it gets better with each book in this series! It was interesting to see a different side of Charley (I really felt for her after what she went through in the previous book) and we get to know Reyes better too. The one thing I'm tiny bit miffed about is there wasn't a lot of Swopes.

LOVED IT. Ms. Jones rocked it, again. She had me laughing, snorting and giggling like a child through much of the story. There was the sniffling and worrisome parts too, it's not always fun an jokes for Charley and Co.
Charley gets to put her crazy on and dip into the pool of hoarding for sanity, it's too good I can't spill more. She also gets lusty with a few guys, oh yeah, she is smoking sexy. : D Her expectations of what life would be like when Reyes was finally freed have not happened, darn...more

Charley, Charley, Charley. You make me laugh every single freaking time. The craziness, the ADD, the obvious, and of course the follow through. I find reviews on books that are a few into the series tough. Because why review, I think most people have already made up their mind if they are going to continue a series or not. Is my review going to really sway someone? So I will just post my favorite quotes, well just a few actually, because if I posted them all it be a chapter or two itself.

As all of you know, I’m a big fan of these book series and I was really excited about reading this book, especially after the way things ended up in the last one. The biggest reasons for that are: the amazing writing style of the author, a unique and interesting storyline and most of all I like them, because these are one of those rare books where I actually like the main female character Charley The Grim Reaper almost as her tall, dark & hot bad boy Reyes.

Can we please take a moment & bow our heads for the hotness that is Reyes?
Whew. I needed that.
The last 15% of this book was AMAZING!
It was nice learning a bit more about Charley, her past, her beginnings, her abilities BUT I NEED MORE.
I was truly baffled at the turn in Harper's case, did not see that coming.
Denise ... I think she's trying .... not enough, but she's trying.

Amazing as always! Darynda did it again! Kind of a surpise at the end too. Loved it!
I really love this series, and I missed Charley. Darynda Jones is a talented writer with an excellent imagination. I have enjoyed each installment and will definitely read the next book as soon as it is released.
Initially, when I started Fourth Grave Beneath my Feet I had some reservations with Charley. One of the things I loved about Charley in books 1 through 3 is that she was tough and cool in a crisis, but in the beginning of this book Charley is traumatized by what happened to her in book 3...more

I have to start off with saying how much I love the narration of this series. After listening to all the other books in the series I can't bring myself to read the new releases even when I have a chance at an ARC. Lorelei King just brings Charley to life in such a great way that I now have her voice in my head and cannot enjoy reading the books.
Fourth Grave is my favorite in the series so far.

Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet exceeded my expectations. Way exceeded them! Charley Davidson has a heart of gold and is one of the most wittiest and entertaining heroines in an Urban Fantasy series I've read to date. You gotta love a girl who names her boobs Will Robinson and Danger!

Charley is still recovering from what she went through at the hands of Earl Walker. Fortunately her friends and family are around to help her slowly coming back to life. Unexpectedly, Harper Lowell shows up at her doorstep and tells Charley someone is trying to kill her. Charley accepts the case because she empathises with Harper. When Charley realises nobody believes Harper, she determinedly takes it to heart to find out the truth and maybe find some reason to get out of her comfy house. Reyes...more
