Have you ever waited and waited in anticipation for a book and then as soon as you get it , you automatically set yourself into stealth mode to devour and eat the book up only to find yourself, instead of full and satisfied - half-empty and a tad disappointed . That was my feeling when I read Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet as I loved and when I say loved , I mean LOVED the first three books in this series that as soon as I had finished book #3 I promptly went and placed Book #4 on my Amazon wishli ...more

I have loved this series from the start. Probably because it makes me laugh out loud, and that will give it at least 3 stars no matter what the book is (unless I am laughing in disbelief...)

Charley is a bit more of a mess, still suffering from the torture in the last book, being betrayed by her father and ending up in jail. Although that isn't really explained in this one. She is very different but still Charley. If Cookie wasn't around, not sure what would have happened to Charley.

But leave it I have loved this series from the start. Probably because it makes me laugh out loud, and that will give it at least 3 stars no matter what the book is (unless I am laughing in disbelief...)

But leave it to Charley, she is miserable, in pain, depressed etc, so she instead of getting drunk or getting in fights like so many kick-ass women do, she goes on an endless tv shopping channel spree, spending money she doesn't even have on things she doesn't want (or even remember getting). Cookie has to cancel all her cars and bring her back from woo-woo land, with the help of Charley's normal coterie of "interesting" friends.

Her love life? Let's just say it would be a spoiler, although beautiful Reyes is around.

I know some don't like this series, but it takes me away and makes me laugh so I can't wait till book 5!

For those of you who don't know, Charley is the Grim Reaper. And for those that do, I am sticking the first paragraph of the book here, because it is so damn funny.

PS I got this off Ms. Jones website and I don't think it's a spoiler at all, just encouragement for you to get this book and read it!!

"Only two things in life are certain. Guess which one I am."
—Charley Davidson, grim reaper

"I sat watching the Buy From Home Channel with my dead Aunt Lillian and wondered what my life would've been like had I not just eaten an entire carton of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Therapy with a mocha latte chaser. Probably about the same, but it was something to think about.

"A midmorning sun ﬁltered through the blinds and cut hard streaks of light across my body, casting me in an ultra-cool ﬁlm noir effect. Since my life had deﬁnitely taken a turn toward the dark side, ﬁlm noir ﬁt. It would have ﬁt even better if I weren't wearing Star Wars pajama bottoms and a sparkly tank top that proudly proclaimed EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY. But I just didn't have the energy that morning to change into something less inappropriate. I’d been having lethargy issues for a few weeks now. And I was suddenly a tad agoraphobic. Ever since a man named Earl tortured me.

"It sucked.

"The torture. Not his name."

Really enjoying this series. The writing is engaging as are the characters. Charley was struggling in this one after everything that happened in the last one.
I hope to god that Daryanda brings back Donovan and crew love the interaction between Charley and Donovan, almost more than Reyes.
