The Curse of Tenth Grave - Book Review


The Curse of Tenth Grave (Charley Davidson #10)
by Darynda Jones


What is it about:
As a part-time PI and full-time grim reaper, Charley Davidson has asked a lot of questions throughout her life:
Why can I see dead people?
Who is the hot supernatural entity following me?
How do I get gum out of my sister’s hair before she wakes up?

But, “How do I trap not one malevolent god, but three?” was never among them. Until now. And since those gods are on earth to kill her daughter, she has little choice but to track them down, trap them, and cast them from this dimension.

There’s just one problem. One of the three stole her heart a very long time ago. Can the Razer, a god of absolute death and destruction, change his omniscient spots, or will his allegiances lie with his brothers?

Those are just a few of the questions Charley must answer, and quick. Add to that a homeless girl running for her life, an innocent man who’s been charged with murder, and a pendant made from god glass that has the entire supernatural world in an uproar, and Charley has her hands full. If she can manage to take care of the whole world-destroying-gods thing, we’re saved. If not, well…


What did I think of it:
This series continues to be fun.

I will confess I sometimes wonder why Charlie doesn't just ask Reyes all the questions she has about him and his actions, but their miscommunications can be entertaining, so I won't grumble about it.

The stakes are getting higher and higher though, even if I didn't know there are just three more books in this series I'd know we are building towards a big climax. This book felt more tense and suspenseful than the previous books.

I'm still very much in love with Cookie, and I really hope she'll get her own series, because I'd read the shit out of that!

All in all an enjoyable, fun, and suspenseful read. On to book eleven!

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