| Charley Davidson is a complete urban fantasy superstar. She’s funny, sexy, tough ... and also the Grim Reaper, which can make her life just a little complicated at times.
First Grave on the Right was a complete delight ... and amazing start to the series that picked me up, turned me around and then dumped me on my head. I loved it! The characters were simply delicious with enough diversity and depth to make them perfect foils for the plot. In Second Grave on the Left the danger apparent in any relationship with Reyes is the eye in the storm, otherwise known as Charley’s life. The dialogue is as witty and snappy as ever and Charley spends an amazing amount of time getting bruised and battered, yet bouncing back to her feet. A main strength of this book, and indeed of the series, is that while Charley is trying to make sense and solve the issues in her private life, she also has to solve mysteries and crimes as a PI. However it was really in Second Grave that I started to fall completely in love with Garrett. And frankly, I just can’t see why stalker guy Reyes holds Charley’s heart. Sure, he’s compelling and balanced on the knife edge of good and evil (the ultimate anti-hero!) and gives amazing sex, but there’s certainly not a lot of conversation going on with him. Then there’s the whole, the world will end if they get together thing. Really, I just can’t see that he’s worth it. It’s an important aspect of this series that Reyes is such a mystery, but the downside to this is that he’s so very hard to understand and therefore feel any connec tion with him. This is in such strong contrast to the other characters surrounding Charley, who are wonderfully complex, interesting and diverse. I just couldn’t see why other characters would be so finely drawn, yet keep their secrets, but Reyes be left quite unknown and, well, quite unlikeable. I fell in love with Charley in book one. Now in book two, I'm starting to see some flaws. I'm so looking forward to book three, Third Grave Dead Ahead, so see where our relationship goes from here. |
