O.M.G. Reyes is my new book boyfriend!!! This book is so hot. Reyes is unbelievably sexy and hot. Charley ain't bad either. Together they are like fire crackers - combustible and hot. Did I mention that Reyes is hot?

The more books I read in this series, the more I love it. Charley is the funniest heroine I've ever known (well you know what I mean). She has ADD and it's so hysterical when she jumps from one thing to another and her snarkiness is hilarious. Oh man I can't wait to read the Sixth i ...more

I wish I had given this series a chance sooner, but then I'm glad I didn't because now I don't have to wait so long before I can start the next one. At least until I fly through to the most current book, then I am going to feel so lost and I'm a little worried about that. Basically, what everyone has said about this series is true.

Charley is at it again, but this time there are dead blonde girls and women showing up in her apartment traumatized out of their minds. They won't communicate with Cha ...more

Darynda Jones has created a world and storyline that I can't seem to walk away from, not do I want to. Fifth Grave Past the Light is no different in that I couldn't stop reading/listening!

Darynda Jones has created a world and storyline that I can't seem to walk away from, not do I want to. Fifth Grave Past the Light is no different in that I couldn't stop reading/listening!

I enjoyed watching the characters develop and interact with one another. Also, from a future sign language interpreter's perspective, I also appreciated that Deaf culture played a bigger a role in this installment of the series, with both a deaf boy that can see the departed and with a little girl that appears in Charley's bedroom.

When I opened up First Grave on the Right for the first time and was hit with a steamy scene, I was afraid that this entire series was going to be another line of erotica. While this book had more sexual scenes than the previous, they were tastefully written and placed perfectly with the storyline of Charley and Reyes. The only (minor) issues I have with Reyes and Charley, are that Charley claims to be utterly and entirely in love with Reyes after what feels like such a short amount of time together, and that every single girl that sees Reyes swoons and melts on spot. Nobody is that perfect, which ruins him for me just a little. This is more of a personal preference. I don't feel like the insta-love hurts the basic story at all, but I would have liked to see their relationship develop, rather than her having been in love with him from the first moment she saw him. I think that the developlemt of their relationship would also have caused me to have more of an emotional attachment to their love, rather than having it thrown in my face suddenly.

But alas, I thoroughly enjoyed the fifth book of the Charley Davidson series and look forward to continuing with the gang. ...more

All, I can say is this is just as hilarious as the other 4 before it. If I didn't love it so much I would be embarrassed by the fact that I sat reading and laughing like a loon. Everyone in my vicinity kept asking me what was so funny(they thought I was laughing at them), but each time I gladly explained that they wouldn't understand until they took the time to get to know Charley Davidson.

To add to that wonderfulness(is that word?), she and Reyes was so adorable in this book. So was Cookie by t ...more
