Publisher Description
Second Grave on the Left is the second installment in Darynda Jones' award-winning paranormal series that's "hilarious and heartfelt, sexy and surprising." (J.R. Ward)
When Charley Davidson and Cookie (her best friend/receptionist) have to track down a missing woman, the case isn’t as open and shut as they anticipate. A friend of Cookie's named Mimi disappeared five days earlier. The case turns cryptic as the only clue to Mimi's disappearance is a woman's name scrawled on the bathroom wall of a coffee shop.
Meanwhile, Reyes Alexander Farrow (otherwise known as the Son of Satan. Yes. Literally) has left his corporeal body and is haunting Charley. He's left his body because he's being tortured by demons who want to lure Charley closer. But Reyes can't let that happen. Because if the demons get to Charley, they'll have a portal to heaven. And if they have a portal to heaven…well, let's just say it wouldn't be pretty.
Will Charley make it out unscathed, or will the forces of darkness overshadow her? Will the strength of Charley's steaming cup of determination be enough to tide her over the menacing storm?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jones perfectly balances humor and suspense in her tight second paranormal thriller featuring grim reaper, PI, and "all-around badass" Charley Davidson (after First Grave on the Right). In separate cases, smart-mouthed Charley pursues two missing persons by using a mix of ghostly informants, family police contacts, quick thinking, and just plain luck. The first, Mimi Jacobs, disappeared just as several of her old high school classmates met untimely deaths; the second, Charley's frustrating but sexy sometimes stalker and occasional lover, Reyes Farrow, who's literally the son of Satan, decided to permanently leave his body to demons and live in the immaterial realm. To complicate Charley's quest, Reyes has hidden his body so she can't find it. The fiery relationship between Charley and Reyes will satisfy paranormal romance fans, but it's the distinctive characters, dead and alive, and the almost constant laughs that will leave readers eager for the next installment.
Customer Reviews
Amazing humor and great plot
Great sense of humor on almost every page. Great crime drama too.
Omg
This one was even better than the first. I keep getting deeper and deeper into it!!! I can’t wait for more!!!
Never a dull moment
I'm enjoying these books so much. Charley is finding out a bit more about her grim reaper abilities. Cookie has a departed person in the trunk of her car, and has a missing friend. Of course, more is also discovered about Reyes, the son of Satan
Lots going on in this book. Certainly a page turner. Charley and Reyes have got to be two of my favorite book people.
