Ever since Reyes Farrow escaped from a hell dimension in which Charley Davidson accidentally 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?
My Review:
Let me preface this by saying I had not read anything after book 9 until Summoned to Thirteenth Grave was provided as an ARC. Why? Because Darynda Jones knows how to write a fast paced story that leaves you hanging and screaming for more. I got frustrated waiting for each new release and decided to practice patience.
And OMHisBrother, I am so glad that I did.
Twelfth Grave, much like its predecessors, has so many twists that make perfect sense. While I usually struggle with the various storylines, Ms. Jones manages to keep the confusion at a minimum but without losing a drop of momentum.
But, as usual, just when everything seems have a happy resolution, Charley finds herself in a tough situation and excuse me while I download Thirteenth Grave to see how she gets out of it!
