Oh, wow, I just loved reading this book! This series has been amazing from the beginning, and now that it just has one more book after this one, it means a lot more to me! This is one series I wish wouldn't end, but if it has to, spin off!

After the ending of Eleventh Grave, well, I needed this book, along with everybody else. So of course the beginning of this book is totally random and makes you read more to find out what's happened between that book and this one.

So, there's the threat of the god that Reyes was made of, and now is. There's the hell dimension within our own which isn't good. There's the Q&A Investigations. There's the burning bodies that may be Reyes' handiwork. Oh, and the Catholic Church in regards to Beep. So much, and so good to read!

That ending! After everything was going good, problems were solved-and it turns out that if they'd acted 5 minutes sooner, the bad thing wouldn't have happened. Which led to an ending that kills us! Gah! I think it's physically painful, this ending, for us readers!

Absolutely loved this book, and man, the wait for 13 is going to be absolutely evil!

Reyes has returned from the God Stone changed. Charley becomes embroiled in a serial killer case with paranormal overtures . Time is running out to find the killer, find Reyes, find answers as we race towards the next and last book of this fast paced snarky dialog series. Action packed, threads being tied up, and the question will there be a HEA? Excellent book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book from Netgalley.

What do you say about book 12 in a series??? Maybe "I Want More!"

Charley finds herself without a husband after he returns from the God Glass in his true form. Things seem to happen in a quick fashion for the PI/Grime Reaper/God.

There is a crazy priest set free wrecking havoc. There is her husband running a muck and angry. There is Michael making sure she doesn't break the One Rule. There is not enough Cookie/Bob/Amber/Quinten/Osh/Beep/Garrett.

But what there isn't enough of there is that Charley whit, fun, aloofness. Nothing can compare to the knit family she has created.

I have enjoyed this series and am looking forward to the next book. But this series is going on too long. I am ready for a new series from her

I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All the fan girl gushing is strictly my opinion.

How does Darynda Jones do it? How does she keep making every new Charley Davidson better than the one before? This was completely un-put-downable. I read it straight through in less than six hours, and now all I want to do is go back and read the series all over again.

This book has Charley battling Reyes after he comes back from Hell, saving people, sending souls to Heaven, drinking copious amounts of coffee, and being her snarky self.

Another amazing installment in the series. Being the 12th book in the series it still keeps you on the edge of your seat with everything that is happening. Holy freaking cliffhanger batman! Can't wait to for the next installment!

OH MY GOD!! Those last few chapters were WOW! Now I have to wait for the 13th and last ;-( book. I hope Jones picks the story up in the future with Beep and Osh!

If you haven't read any of the Charley Davidson books before, I hereby implore you to start with book 1, First Grave on the Right. You will be very confused if you start with book 12 of 13, to say the least. That said, spoilers follow.

Reyes went into the god glass and saved all the poor lost souls, but at what cost? Rey'azikeen seems to have come out of the glass with no sign of the lovable bad-boy and husband of Charley Davidson. But that's not all. Charley doesn't tell anyone for three days about Rey'azikeen's emergence from Reyes, and then Michael says that is all the time she had to prevent an army from being brought against him. Ok, well, he gives her one more day. With people being burned alive with no sign of fire and fingernail marks on them, a renegade god, Peri under suspicion of murder, and Amber wanting to start her own private investigation agency, Charley has a little bit more than she can handle on her plate. Will she be able to pull it all together in true Charley fashion, or will something fall through the cracks? Be ready for a funny and frantic ride with Charley, Cookie, Garrett, Osh, and all the gang!

Where does the Mighty Mrs. Jones come up with her ideas for Charley and crew? At the end of book eleven, Reyes had been sent into the God Glass and when he came out, he wasn't quite himself. Now, he's searching for something, Charley is on a timeline to turn Reyes back into her husband, and help her uncle solve a series of strange murders. Just another day at the office for Charley. Not to be outdone from the last book, spoiler alert here, she once AGAIN leaves readers with a massive cliffhanger!

No, it's not just a "I love Charley" automatic 5-star review!!! If I was able, this would be an off-the-chart, to the heavens rating.

Seriously.

My full review will be closer to release date but I'll tell you this much: full disclosure, closure, cliff-hanger (duh and ouch), and dagger to my tender heart a few times. Yes it's short, yes it can and will be read in a day, but it is SO Good.

And NO, you can NOT jump in and read this without reading the other books in order. Silly reader. Get started NOW!

I am NEVER disappointed with Darynda Jones! All of her books of the "Grave" series are funny, suspenseful, romantic, the stories just flow and always, ALWAYS leave you with wanting more. Charley, Uncle B, Cookie, they become your family, you just can't get enough, I won't even begin to explain Reyes.....you read them from the beginning, you will be hooked and just waiting for the next. You will laugh, cry, and literally gasp at the outcome of the stories, love, love love this author!
