The Trouble with Twelfth Grave (Charley Davidson #12)
by Darynda Jones
What is it about:
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 that’s 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 she’s not uncovering a murder. This time she’s 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 Vatican’s 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 it’s time to let loose her razor sharp claws. Then again, her number one suspect is the dark entity she’s loved for centuries. So the question becomes, can she tame the unruly beast before it destroys everything she’s worked so hard to protect?
What did I think of it:
For some reason it took me a long time to pick up this book, I read book 11 in November 2020. But once I started on this I was soon hooked and raced through it.
With just one more book to go the stakes are high in this book. Reyes seems totally out of control, and if that isn't enough to keep Charley busy, a friend who might be accused of murder needs her help as well.
There's one big grumble I had about something that happens to one character, that in the moment didn't bug me, but after some reveals made me seriously grumpy. Both Charley and Reyes can be total dicks at times!
Overall I loved this book though, and I'm eager to read the last book, especially after the ending of this one! Might this finally be the year I succeed in finishing this series?
Why should you read it:
It's a cool Urban Fantasy read.
