Charley Davidson may not look like your everyday, run-of-the-mill grim reaper, but she has vowed to reap grimness wherever she goes despite this unfortunate fact. Sadly, she gets sidetracked when the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves in next door. As he is the main suspect in her arson case, she has vowed to stay away from him until she can find out the truth. However, when dead women start appearing in her apartment - lost, confused and terrified beyond reason - Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyess help, especially when it becomes apparent that her own sister Gemma is the serial killers next target. With his ability to observe incorporeally, surely he can find out whos responsible. And even if he cant, he is the one man alive who could protect Gemma no matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in return: Charley. All of her - body and soul. And to keep her sister safe, it is a price she might be willing to pay . . .

Most girls might think twice before getting engaged to someone like Reyes Farrow---but Charley Davidson is not most girls. Shes a paranormal private eye and grim reaper-in-training whos known to be a bit of a hell-raiser, especially after a few shots of caffeine.

Unless, of course, the Twelve Beasts of Hell are unleashed. . . .Ubertalented Jones keeps stirring the plot and throwing in crazy new developments, guaranteed to keep her characters and readers off balanceRT Book Reviews

Sometimes being the grim reaper really is, well, grim. And since Charleys last case went so awry, she has taken a couple of months off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep, convinced someone is trying to kill her, Charley has to pull herself together. In the meantime, the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, is out of prison and out of Charleys life, as per her wishes and several perfectly timed death threats. But his absence has put a serious crimp in her sex life. While there are other things to consider, like the fact that the city of Albuquerque has been taken hostage by an arsonist, Charley is having a difficult time staying away. Especially when it looks like Reyes may be involved. Just when life was returning to normal, Charley is thrust back into the world of crime, punishment and the devil in blue jeans in this hilarious fourth instalment in the New York Times bestselling series.

Ever since Reyes escaped from a hell dimension in which Charley accidently trapped him, the son of Satan has been brimstone - bent on destroying the world his heavenly Brother created. His volatile tendencies have put Charley in a bit of a pickle. But thats not the only briny vegetable on her plate. While trying to domesticate the feral being that used to be her husband, she also has to deal with her everyday life of annoying all manner of beings - some corporeal, some not so much - as she struggles to right the wrongs of society. Only this time shes not uncovering a murder. This time shes covering one up.Add to that her new occupation of keeping a startup PI venture - the indomitable mystery-solving team of Amber Kowalski and Quentin Rutherford - out of trouble and dealing with the Vaticans inquiries into her beloved daughter, and Charley is on the brink of throwing in the towel and becoming a professional shopper. Or possibly a live mannequin. But when someone starts attacking humans who are sensitive to the supernatural world, Charley knows its time to let loose her razor sharp claws. Then again, her number one suspect is the dark entity shes loved for centuries. So the question becomes, can she tame the unruly beast before it destroys everything shes worked so hard to protect?

Charley Davidson has enough to be getting on with. She is, after all, incredibly pregnant and feeling like she could pop at any moment. But, just her luck, twelve deadly beasts from hell have chosen this time to escape, and theyve made Charley their target. She takes refuge at the only place they cant get to her: the grounds of an abandoned convent. Before long, Charley also has a new case to hold her attention: the decades-old murder of a newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing in the shadows of the convent.Add to that the still unsolved murder of her father, the strange behavior of her husband, and Charleys tendency to attract the, shall we say, undead, and she has her hands full . . . but also tied. While the angry hellhounds cant traverse the consecrated soil, they lurk beyond its borders like evil sentries, so Charley has been forbidden from leaving the sacred grounds and is powerless to get the answers she wants. Luckily, she has her loyal team with her, and theyre a scrappy bunch. They scour the prophesies, searching for clues on the Twelve, and their presence is comforting - its almost as though theyve all been drawn to her as part of a bigger picture . . . But the good feelings dont last for long because Charley is about to get the surprise of her crazy, mixed-up, supernatural life.Hilarious and heartfelt, sexy and surprising...Im begging for the next one!! - J.R.

Laugh-out-loud funny, intensely suspenseful, page-turning funAllison Brennan on A Bad Day for SunshineRunning a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff - and even fuller-time coffee guzzler - Sunshine Vicram, didnt get that memo.All Sunshine really wants is one easy-going day. You know, the kind that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with take-out pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out, thats about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?)Before she can say iced mocha latte, Sunnys got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows hes not the villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all, he possesses a serious set of abs. Shes seen it. Once. Accidentally.Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesnt know when to quit, Sunnys life is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy.Yep, definitely a good day for chardonnay.A Bad Day For Sunshine is a great day for the rest of usLee Child
