Second Grave on the Left

I love this main character with all her bravado, clumsiness and biting wit, as well as the supporting cast. I am constantly LOL, literally, and then enthralled by another scene with the oh so very hot and other worldly love interest. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

I love charley and her smart ass attitude. I love learning with her more about her abilities as the grim reaper. Then there is Reyes sweet delicious Reyes who's just a such as a smart ass as Charlie. There are some bumps in the road and I hope it doesn't make things worse.

I love Charley. And the story development in this book was great. You slowly get to know the characters more. The love story between Charley and Reyes gains a lot of depth. Can't wait for the next one.

Great summer reads! This is Janet Evanovich meets Jayne Castle. Fun and funny, these sexy mysteries balance humor and suspense with a supernatural flair. Darynda Jones is a winner and Charley Davidson is full-on fabulous.

The second book in Darynda Jones Charley Davidson series is just as fun and fresh as the first. This story picks up about a week after the events in First Grave on the Right. I really have to give Darynda Jones credit for being able to write a story with multiple mystries to solve and keeping everything coherant. There have been other books that I've read that have tried to do similar with little success. Things get twisted characters get confusing and everything is messy. Jones, by having one new story to solve and one continuing mystery going on keeps things very clear. Again, I was just as interested in learning new things about Reyes and Charley's power as I was about the missing woman.

I again loved Charley's wit. She's such a fun character. She's intelligent and as we learn in this book is able to take care of herself in dire situations.

I like the building that's done on the Reyes case in this installment. We're given just enough information that it's we're not left with frustrating questions. Don't get me wrong there's still plenty left to learn, but it seems all the questioned raised in this book (or at the end of the first book) were answered. So we're not waiting until the end of the series as a whole to find out what's going on.

The third book comes out in early 2012. I don't know if it's intended to be a trilogy or if it will extend past that. At this point, I would say that we'll get to the end of this story arc at least in the next book, and if there's more after that then we'll get a new story arc.

I absolutely, 100% love this series! I've blown through the 1st 2 books already and it's on to the next one. The 2nd was just as good as the 1st, if not better! Love Charley's wit. Love the characters. Love the cases. Just all around goodness here. Can't wait to find out what's in store for Charley next!

Hilarious! And breathlessly sexy. Despite being the Grim Reaper, Charlie's thoughts and actions otherwise, are so real. I totally identify with her. (Well.....my super-self does.....) Every character is lovely. Adore this series.

I definitely liked this one more than the first. I feel like the mystery this time was more compelling and that the stakes were higher. And all the stuff with her dad was crazy. It's always interesting to see how a character will react to stress, tragedy, and fear, and Charley is definitely unique in her reactions. I look forward to reading the next book. Also, I live for Garrett Swopes.

I absolutely loved the charley davidson series. I have read all five books in the series, and really hope that there will be another one to follow. Loved the characters, the humor in the books and of course, the storyline.
Couldn't put these books down until I finished them!

My new favorite series. Charley is a great heroine! I was depressed after the last Rachel Morgan book and saw a review on the store titled "what to read next". Thank you - I am enjoying this series immensely!

I devoured this series, one book after the other, over the space of a few days. If you are a reader who likes a book with a strong female protag, fun, witty dialogue, non-stop action, a supernatural element, interesting secondary characters, and a sexy love-interest subplot, your search is over. I'm eagerly anticipating the next in the series.

Start with First Grave on the Right. It lays a lot of the groundwork for this book.

The story of Reyes and Charley is superb. The plot of this book is engaging. I have ignored laundry and cleaning to read book two in a few hours . Going yo start book three right noe, because I cannot wait to see what happens next.
Definitely a keeper and even better than book one.

If you like the Stephanie Plum detective books, you'll love Darynda Jones' books. Charley certainly gets herself into more than one pickle, but what I love about these is who, or rather what, gets her out of them. The way Ms. Jones writes about Charley's hero . . whoa, one can imagine it happening right in front of you.

Another snarky hit!! Charley is her usual smart mouthed self and she kept me rolling! The mysteries that were abundant in the novel kept me at the edge of my seat and eager to turn the page! I'm excited to move on to the next book in the series! Darynda seemed to really get in her groove with this installment as it was a bit easier to follow than the first way to go Mrs. Jones!

It doesn't get any better than Charley Davidson. Truly my most favorite female character of any book I've read, she is strong, sarcastic, witty, with just enough imperfection to be plausible. I live this series and waiting for the next in the series is like waiting for a drug fix!

Love this series. One headstrong Grim Reaper. Truly a fresh book. Something different. Only Caution, the Books Get Quite a bit more expensive as you advance in the series. I have to gone Past the 6th book because of this.

The second book in the series was even funnier than the first! And Charlotte the grim reaper has even more cases on her plate this time so it's super action packed! Oh an I even cried at one point- you'll know it when you get to it :) enjoy!!!

I really enjoy Darynda Jones' style & imagination. The characters are well developed, and seem like people you could really get to know. I did get a little tired of the repetitive descriptions of each encounter between Charley and Reyes. We get it - he's hot! But I will definitely follow their adventures into the next book.

Very funny, fast paced and plenty sexy, I really enjoyed "Second Grave on the Left". If you appreciate quips you will love this book. Each chapter has a hilarious T-shirt saying. I could hardly put it down.

Another page turner by Darynda Jones... A sale person at BAM suggested the 1st one and I ended up buying them all on my Kindle after reading the 1st one, reading them all July 4th weekend. Now I am all caught up and waiting for the 7th installment of Charley and Reyes adventures. Can't wait!

The combination detective series and romance novel makes this a unique book that is hard to put down. You can't help but laugh out loud at Charlie's funny jokes or love it when the bad guy goes down! All 5 books in the series are page-turners.

I love this series. Darynda Jones writes a winner. She leaves you wanting more. This was a book I again did not want to put down. Love the characters and the idea. Not sure how this will continue to go, but eagerly look forward to find out.

Enjoyed this 2nd book in her series and looking forward to reading the 3rd. I passed it on my daughter who also enjoy it, which is even nicer because we can discuss while we workout. We read one by book and by one by Kindle (my first ever) . Getting the 3rd in Kindle.

Great follow on to her first book. Will be getting the third in the series soon. It is written well where the reader does not need to have read the first book. The author catches you up quickly and easily.

I found this book to be overall enjoyable. It had some fun dynamics like the relationship between Cookie & Charley and the action scenes. I sometimes would skim past the interactions of the various "Bad Guy" scenes as there were too many & I just didn't care. I do love Reyes & for that I will continue on to book 3.

Great sequel to the First Grave - I enjoyed it as much as the first - love the humor and relationship between Charley and Cookie. Charley's relationship with Reyes adds another dimension. Mystery, suspense, humor and all kinds of action - who could ask for more. Love all the characters.
