Sixth Grave on the Edge - Book Review


Sixth Grave on the Edge (Charley Davidson #6)
by Darynda Jones


What is it about:
Few things in life can come between a grim reaper and her coffee, but the sexy, sultry son of Satan is one of them. Now that Reyes Farrow has asked for her hand, Charley Davidson feels it's time to learn more about his past, but Reyes is reluctant to open up. When the official FBI file of his childhood abduction lands in her lap, Charley decides to go behind her mysterious beau’s back and conduct her own investigation. Because what could go wrong?

Unfortunately, another case has fallen into her lap—one with dangerous implications. Some very insistent men want Charley to hunt down a witness who is scheduled to testify against their boss, a major player in the local crime syndicate. If Charley doesn't come up with an address in 48 hours, the people closest to her will start to disappear.

Add to that a desperate man in search of the soul he lost in a card game, a dogged mother determined to find the ghost of her son, and a beautiful, young Deaf boy haunted by his new ability to see the departed as clearly as he sees the living, and Charley has her hands full. The fact that Reyes has caught on to her latest venture only adds fuel to the inferno that he is. Good thing for Charley she's used to multi-tasking and always up for a challenge…especially when that challenge comes in the form of Reyes Farrow.


What did I think of it:
This series keeps being fun, which is a good thing as I have all the books except for the last one.

I will confess that Charley could have done a lot more groveling towards a character she slighted in the previous book, and that the character in question seems to be way too forgiving.

That aside this is yet another story full of suspense, silly situations and lots of humor. My favorite character is still Cookie and I was satisfied with her amount of screen time. There was another character who's background was revealed in this book who I think is very cool as well.

The cases Charley got to deal with were fun and with the right amount of danger and suspense, there are also some very interesting developments in the overall storyline. You bet I'll be grabbing the next book soon.

Why should you read it:
It's a very entertaining UF read.
