Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic ARC of this novel, received in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely love this series and this book! It will be sad to say goodbye to so many great and laugh out loud characters after the next book.

Twelfth Grave is another incredible Charley Davidson installment that I didn't want to end. There is so much happening, with Charley, with Reyes, and the rest of the gang we’ve come to love. Reyes isn’t himself at the end of the last book so Charley is doing her best to bring back the man she loves while solving many other mysteries at the same time. As usual, she survives on coffee and very little sleep and she’s always her snarky self who would rather apologize than ask for help or permission.

It's a crazy, wild and always funny ride that fans of the series won't want to miss! But that ending! So hard to wait for the next book.

This latest installment has left me completely speechless and craving more Charley and Reyes! The book picks up where the last one left off—Charley’s insanely sexy husband Reyes is gone, and the evil Rey'azikeen is in his place. Even through the mystery of what and who the "new" Reyes is, we get that delicious heat and chemistry between him and Charley. And of course all of our favorite characters are back. And the ending! Oh my goodness the ending!!! I cannot wait for the next book! I received a digital ARC of this novel courtesy of NetGalley and St. Martin's Press in exchange for a honest and voluntary review.

OH MY GOD!! just when I think I can't love this series more it gets better. I actually found myself cackling at some parts till i cried from laughing. I love Charley shes such a great character and if you've already gotten to the 11th book then you know that too.

So I will just say this book had its usual high jinks with the gang and figuring out what was going on with Reyes was interesting and awesome. And then the ending UHG that's all I will say. And also I NEED the next one ASAP.

I am always excited to get my hands on a new Charles book. Seriously, I don't know how Darynda does it... Hitting it out of the parking each time? This one did not disappoint!

There's everything you'd expect, and more.

Hilarious chapter titles /quotes? ✔️
Charley's inner diagolue and coffee addiction? ✔️
More naming of inanimate objects? ✔️✔️ (this one deserves two checks... You'll find out why!)
A case that needs to be solved? ✔️
The literal hotness that is Reyes Alexander Farrow? ✔️
Appearances by all your favorites? ✔️
An epic battle brewing between good and evil? ✔️
An ending full of laughter and sweetness and heartbreak and OMG WHAT IS SHE DOING? ✔️✔️✔️✔️

Dammit Darynda!!!
If I close my eyes and say your name will you please appear and give me the next book? Yes I am well aware that this one technically hasn't been released yet but still. Will you?

*sigh*
I guess I'll just have to do what I normally do... Reread until I get my next, and (sniff sniff) final fix.

What can I say another good interesting suspense, angst story.
Poor Charley and Rheyes.
Now waiting for the next again.

So I was sent a pre-release copy of the latest Darynda Jones book to review, it comes out in October and oh my god it was amazing. I couldn’t put it down, I read it in an evening!

I have to say, I didn’t think the last instalment was that great so I’m really pleased that I enjoyed this one more. I love Charley and the series in general, I love the humour in the books and that it’s coupled with a sexy edge.

In this book, Charley has to find out what happened to Reyes in the god-glass to make him come back as not-Reyes as well as stop not-Reyes from going all angry, destroyer God all over Earth. When the plot twist at the end happened, I admit, I didn’t see it coming at all. However, I’m a little confused as to how Reyes knew he had to do all that to protect Beep (stardust is a way cooler name than beep and I totally guessed that beep was what he meant earlier on.)

I wish Charley had gone to see the prophet who wrote the books, I was surprised she didn’t but I figure it might come into play at some point. Generally, I preferred the plot in this book to some of the recent ones but the whole Reyes and Charley just barely missing each other all the time is growing a little frustrating and tiring.

The last chapter killed me. I thought early on about them missing Amber in the supernatural watch list. Oh god. Oh god. Also, more Quentin and Amber is needed, Q&A Invesigations was brilliant!

I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this series because this was honestly so good and I can’t wait for the next one!

Beaucoup de tension dans ce 12ème tome, plusieurs intrigues s'entremêlent et parfois on a juste envie de dire à Charley d'arrêter de se disperser dans tous les sens et de se concentrer sur un truc quand même vachement important!!! Mais non, elle mènent tout de front et évidemment elle ne peut pas s'empêcher d'aider ceux qui en ont besoin...ou alors c'est juste le moyen qu'elle a trouvé pour faire face ou plutôt éviter de faire face à ce qui la déchire! Bref j'ai été aussi tendue qu'elle durant toute ma lecture...et même si certaines choses finissent par se résoudre, on termine à nouveau sur un énorme cliff, merci Darynda, tu n'épargnes pas notre petit cœur :( .
Cela reste tout de même une très très bonne lecture, mais ce n'est pas mon tome préféré!

This series is one of my favorite and this book is the epitome of why!!! Oh my!!! I was on edge the whole book and just when I thought things were ok the world upturns and cliff hanger!!!! 😳 How much longer do I have to wait for the next book to come out to see what happens??? Oh the suspense is going to kill me!!! Come on Darynda Jones, please don't leave us hanging, I just gotta find out what happens next!!! LOVE THIS SERIES!! 😍❤️❤️❤️

Love love love this book.. They just keep getting better and better...💙💜

Review goes live on Butterfly-o-Meter Books on OCt 31 at 00.00 am gmt+2 and will show up on Goodreads sometime later.

In a Flutter: Delicious torture
Fluttering Thoughts:
Worldbuilding: OMG how I missed this fascinating world of the badass Grim Reaper, full of ghosts, gods, magic artifacts, plus armies of angels here and there.
Characters: The ever-charming Charley starts out strong with her snark for the win. I missed her and Reyes, and kept missing Reyes for a good bit of the story. Poor Charley…but she’s so entertaining she could probably just tell the time for half a novel and still have my full attention.
Plot: The story picks up right where the previous novel ended, with Reyes missing and Rey’azikeen (I probably spelled that wrong – screw it, lol, you know who I mean!) at the wheel things got tenser and tenser until I thought my eyes would pretty much pop out. The mystery of the murder victims is also interesting, casting doubts and suspicion on our beloved Reyes and his multiple evil sides. The story is very tense and full of action, and the almost-ending was very cool, touching, and rewarding. But then the actual ending came and it almost broke my heart and all I can say is: seriously, Darynda Jones?!?!?!?! Seriously?!?!?!?!?! Arrrrrghhh! I might not survive this series, for freak’s sake!
Writing: First person, past tense narrative, Charley’s POV. Snark galore voice – my fav ever. Nobody can say anything as awesomely as Charley can xDDD
Curb Appeal: Cool cover, hooking blurb, autobuy series forevah <3 I recommend The Trouble with Twelfth Grave to masochists who love snark galore, uber hot chemistry in millenia-long love stories, and getting the rug pulled from under their feet with each installment of a series when it all seemed to be as good as any Charley-involving situation can be – because let’s all face it: damn it, Charley!
My only complaint is that while I’m writing this review the novel isn’t even out yet, technically, and I have to wait a whole freaking year for the next one. This is unusual and terrible cruelty, sigh.

Best one yet! I think I say that every time, but it's true. With each book Darynda Jones outdoes herself. I can't get enough of Charley and Reyes. Hottest couple ever! I'm addicted and not ashamed to admit it! Fantastic read start to finish.

*ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest review.

I was given an early copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I have read all the books in this series and loved them all so I was excited to read this one!! I was not disappointed!! Darynda has done it again!! I don't know how she does it!! After getting to know Charley and Reyes and the rest of the gang over the years I can't believe how many times I still found myself literally laughing out loud and being surprised by some of the twists and turns in The Trouble with Twelfth Grave. Still one of my All-Time Favorite Series!! I cannot wait for the next book but at the same time I am going to be so sad when it ends!!

Reyes is not in good place, and he's not as was. Let's just say that he might be making Daddy proud. Charlie has this whole new title resting on her scared shoulders. Someone or something is killing gifted people and Charlie needs to find answers while protecting her friends and dealing with this not right Reyes. Life is messed up, but Charlie never stops looking for answers, and a distracting laugh. The ending, oh my, I cried. To do such a noble thing to be struck with such a cost, sorrow fell hard. My poor favorite characters, bruised but never beaten, I hope.

Ms. Jones, you are wickedly good at this. You took my heart through the shadows, through the rubble, into the struggle for good/evil, life/death, love/faith, and then threw me into a dark ravine with no bottom in sight. I loved it, couldn't get enough, and want more pain and laughs.
if you love snark, romance, action, love and coffee read this series.

With the way Eleventh Grave in Moonlight ended I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next book. I was lucky to get an ARC of the 12th Grave and I loved every word of it. The Trouble with Twelfth Grave is the penultimate book in the Charley Davidson series so I was savoring every sentence and every chapter, I didn't want this book to end. But I couldn't put it down so I finished it in one day.

The Trouble with Twelfth Grave is everything you expect from Darynda's books. A lot of sarcasm from Charley, a lot of brooding from Reyes, some very hot sexy encounters between these two, and nail-biting paranormal adventures for the whole gang. For me this was one of the best books in the series. I cannot wait for the 13th Grave and I already know that I will miss Charley, Reyes and the gang once the series end.

This book is a 5 star book for sure, actually I would give it more than that if I could! Every time I read a Charley Davidson book I think it can't get any better and then the next one comes out. I am thinking this could be my favorite one yet, I mean Reyes just makes you melt and I love Charley! The Trouble with Twelfth Grave was just so packed with twist and turns and the ending, oh my gosh the ending. I can't wait for the next book, I need to know what's going to happen. I finished this book in one day and I am already telling all my friends to order it, it was just so good.

Please note: I received a copy of THE TROUBLE WITH TWELFTH GRADE from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher and author.

Five stars and here’s why:

Holy hotness! I love this series. Darynda Jones rocked this book! I’ve read every book in the series and just when you think you’ve got a handle on what to expect next, Ms. Jones proves she’s a master storyteller. You’ve just got to chill and let her tell it her way so clear off your calendar and be prepared to devour the book in one sitting. If you love hella-sexy scenes with a dash of smart, sassy, and snark, this book is for you. Highly recommend.

I loved reading the sensational and awesome 12th book in the Charley Davidson series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC through NetGalley and St. Martin's Press.
Charley's husband, Reyes, has come back as Rey'azikeen. While Charley tries to find her husband Reyes inside the evil, the angels are warning her that it is time to end Rey'azikenn's life.
Read the highly recommended, fabulously written with a spellbinding story line captivating the reader from the first page until the last page, and a must read love story.

I was thrilled to be offered an ARC of Trouble with Twelfth Grave and raced through it over the weekend. The further I got in the book, the more I enjoyed it... and the more I feared that the end would come so soon. Honestly, I enjoyed it so much that I've started reading it again.

Twelfth Grave picks up with Reyes being out of the god glass, but not quite being himself. No one quite knows whether he is Reyes, who would do anything to protect Charley, or is he Rey'azikeen, the violent deity?
I love the way Darynda Jones' catches you up on the story without it just being a recitation of the previous book. Our favorite characters are all there, each trying to determine what to do to protect those they love and the world as a whole. Charley's voice and wit carry on and the relationships between characters absolutely shine. Some of Reyes' actions honestly shocked me, the mystery element made me wonder, and I laughed at Osh and Garrett's plotting. The story moves quickly and the timeline is short - so much happens in a very short amount of time, it's almost enough to make your head spin. At the end, some things resolved quickly and I wondered at one point where the story could go from here... and then the ending threw me into an OMG moment and I CAN'T WAIT for 13.

Final opinion? I loved it - the characters, the story, the humor, the dialogue, the wit, the fantasy, the romance, the relationship. Love, love, love it - Five shiny stars, two thumbs up, crowds cheering everywhere. Love the old characters, love the new characters, love that overall -- and god or demon withstanding -- the human part of the story is just as important. I've read a lot of series and am pleasantly surprised that this one keeps my attention and keeps me caring about what comes next... even though now I have to impatiently wait for the next installment. Guess it just gives me time to go back and start over at the 1st grave...

I read an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. This book is the latest in the Charley Davidson series, I do think you need to read the other books in the series before reading this one. Charley is back… her husband Reyes is missing…people are dying mysteriously and Charley has a plan … actually several plans … none of which will turn out as she intends … so be prepared for a rollicking roller coaster of a story that I only put down to walk the dog and a short walk at that. Will now be waiting impatiently for the next one.

This is the 12th book in the Charley Davidson series and I read it all in one day! When we left Charley she just found out that Reyes might not be himself anymore. All her allies have decided that Reyes must be killed, but Charley has faith he is still redeemable. While this is going on Charley is also trying to help clear her friend of murder and find out who is killing people in an untraceable way.
Lots of major series plot points revealed. Fans will not be disappointed even though we are again left with a cliffhanger ending.
