What powers do you think Charley has, but doesn't know she has? Reyes tells her she doesn't even know how powerful she is, so tell me what you think she may be capable of.

Cindy (cindymac52) I think she can astral project herself. When she makes out with Reyes no one can see her move...so Astral Projection :D

I was thinking the same thing Cindy. I suspect there's more to-maybe some type of kick butt power but I'm not sure what.


message 4: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (cindymac52) With all the power wattage she emits to draw souls to her...maybe she could use that power to push BAD or DEMONIC souls(can you say oxymoron)away! As Emeril would say: BAM! LOL

Cindy, you have missed your calling, this is an excellent power!

Traci, wonder if she can just disappear, vanish?

Dana, I could definitely see that as one of Charley's powers

I've had to stop myself from asking for the book about 10 times. Begging if truth be known,but I've decided to wait along with my other girls, besides absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

Well if you got it and shared with us we would never tell(would we Cindy) :)

The 31st is almost around the corner and I'll buy my book! We can dissect it here page by page. I'm so proud of myself, I haven't read one review. I feel like it would corrupt my take on the book, but I'm dying to know things. LOL


Traci (Mad Hatter Reads) (traci-madhatterreads) | 609 comments Mod
I'm the same way. It's already ready to order on my Nook for the 31st. SO EXCITED!!

I'm ordering both, so I can have the hardcopy signed!


message 14: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (cindymac52) I could be bribed with the book...but I don't want to KNOW things until I read them! Darynda has such a wonderful witty style of putting Charley's life in some semblance of order. Although ORDER and Charley's life are deffinately an oxymoron!


message 15: by Ines (new)

Ines (slayraa) | 684 comments I have to say her powers remind me a bit of the star in Stardust, so who knows... she may shine a lot and also be able to protect the guy that holds her heart? Hehe


message 16: by Annii (new)

Annii I think shes capable of destroying all the baddies. Cant wait for the book! Hardcover is on order.
Id love it if darynda would come to australia so she could sign my hardcovers :(


message 17: by Mel (new)

Mel | 829 comments Do you think she could have a longer life expectancy? Will she be able to move at a greater speed than most humans? Remember: In chapter twelve of Second Grave on the Left, Charlie remembers fighting Caruso in slow motion but her father asked Charlie how she moved like that and said she moved inhuman (page 145).

Traci - I would love for her to be able to vanish or leave her corpal body as Reyes does...maybe there was a hint to that in our favorite scene where Charlie and Reyes are making out in front of eveyone. Didn't the ghost Elizabeth say that it appeared like their souls were mingling or something...that Charlie separated from her body to be with Reyes and that her corpal (physical) body remained unmoving, plastered to the wall (page 73) inFirst Grave On The Right?

Cindy - I believe you are correct again...Charlie will be able to harness her light to kill evil demons...check out page 232 in Second Grave on the Left.

It would be awesome of she could learn to communicate telepathically with Reyes.

I admit I was weak and read the preview chapter on Jones's website but it only left me thirsty for more.

I too have the book pre-ordered on my NOOK so I can read it the same evening it comes out...counting down the days. :)

Oh, Mel, I am one needy bitch! I told my husband that I was not to be disturbed for anything short of a bullet wound on that day. He asked me "what book was it this time." My kids rolled their eyes and asked what casserole I was going to make so they wouldn't starve. The last one was called Chicken Fever Casserole in honor of Shadowfever. He he!

It will have to have 3 meats in it to fit into the Third Grave theme. Oh and three cheeses, too! I'll have to post the recipe for you gals! Just perfect, Cindy!

Mel | 829 comments Pizza is always good...since I have been teaching, the wait staff at Bob Evans carry-out knows my husband by voice. I have to teach all day...so I may have to wait to read the book.

Pizza sounds yum, but my hoard fight like banshees over the slices!

Annii Lol you guys are funny


message 30: by Mel (new)

Mel | 829 comments Gals...will you even remember to eat? If you didn't have kids to take care of, could you get so wrapped up in a book that you forget meals? I have done so on numerous occasions when on vacation reading a good book while my husband was at work. If he did not remind me to eat, I would honestly forget. When a book is that engrossing, I often have trouble tearing myself away for much.

I love the trail mix with M&M's I stock up on that and protein bars!

Tons of sites are closing down for SOPA tomorrow, but I'll be all over the place as usual.


message 33: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (cindymac52) Oh...BTW...will have granola bars at my side, ice tea, and broccoli salad on 3rd Grave day!


message 34: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (cindymac52) You know Charley can sense when someone is lying...I think she needs to confront them a little more. Then FAKE FBI agents couldn't kidnap her and try to kick her azz! Of course we do need Reyes to come out of the mist for her...more than the grope fest Charley won't let happen.


message 35: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (cindymac52) Hey fellow Reyes fanatics...think beyond 5 seconds now...if Reyes were real, would you A) Run to jump him? B) Run to get away from him? C) Get a running start to shove Charley on him?...be HONEST! LOL


Traci (Mad Hatter Reads) (traci-madhatterreads) | 609 comments Mod
As much as I would love to have Reyes all to my little self, he belongs with Charley so I would give her a shove. But maybe if I stumble in the process he might kiss my boo-boo from the fall? Did I mention I hit my lip?

Oh, I would definitely want to jump him...the sight of him makes my temperature rise but unfortunately, Cindy, he has only had eyes for Charlie. Poor pitifully horny me...I would have to cool down with another who is far less scrumptious.

I really like Charley but all is fair in love and war? I'd jump!

Nawnee (nawnees) | 132 comments I think I'd be doing A and C run to jump him and shove charley at him just incase I'm not his type lmao always good to have a back up plan
