Desde que fracasó en su último caso, Charley se ha cogido un par de meses sabáticos para sumergirse tranquilamente en las cálidas aguas de la autocompasión. Pero cuando una mujer se presenta en su casa pidiendo ayuda porque está convencida de que alguien intenta matarla, no tiene más remedio que sacudirse la pena y ponerse manos a la obra. Mientras tanto, el grandioso y macizo hijo de Satán, Reyes Farrow, ha sido absuelto de todos los cargos. Ha salido de la cárcel y de la vida de Charley, tal y como ella quería. Sin embargo, la ausencia de Reyes ha afectado seriamente a su vida sexual y, aunque tiene otros problemas más graves —como el hecho de que la ciudad haya sido tomada por un pirómano, que bien podría ser su ardiente ex—, lo cierto es que le está costando mucho mantenerse alejada de él... Charley has a serious case of PTSD from being tortured in her own home by Earl Walker. Reyes saved her and she has healed but she is afraid to even go outside of her apartment building. She has taking up extreme shopping from a shopping network on television and it has gotten out of hand…so much so that Cookie, her best friend and assistant, has cancelled all of her credit cards and bank cards and has started to dig through the boxes filling Charley’s apartment to return them. With nothing else to do, Charley stares out the window and sees Reyes leaning against the building in front of her apartment, her father’s bar. Reyes was there one moment and gone the next like he dematerialized. Reyes is her love interest and the son of Satan but he’s not really evil. He has protected Charley her entire life even when she wasn’t aware of it. She decides to investigate what he is up to. Outside, she meets a woman who wants her to investigate some bazaar events that have happened to her. The woman’s family says she is crazy but that only makes Charley believe the woman is telling the truth. She finds Reyes illegally cage fighting in a Warehouse in a shady part of town. She also finds that he is living with Elaine, a woman who relentlessly stalked him while he was in prison. Charley is extremely hurt over it but tries not to show him. After all, she was the one to push him out of her life after she was tortured because Reyes used her as bait to catch Earl Walker. While at the warehouse, a man possessed by a demon comes after Charley, trying to kill her. Reyes broke his neck but he just kept coming until Charley’s guardian, a departed Rottweiler named Artemis, attacks and kills the demon. Then another one comes after her. This one had possessed a young teenager. This series has accumulated quite a large cast of characters and ongoing stories so if I don’t write up a summary of events as soon as I complete it, I get a little confused at what happened in which book. It’s a good thing I keep notes. Sister Mary Elizabeth hears the angels talking. She keeps Charley up to date on what they say. Hedeshi is a demon inhabiting a human’s body who tells her things about Reyes, trying to get her to join Satan’s team. Yeah…right…like that is going to happen. Rocket is a ghost who died in the 1950s who inhabits an old mental asylum. He knows the names of everyone who has died and he writes them down on the walls. Charley uses the information in her detective work. Donavan is a leader of a biker gang who lives next door to the asylum. They get Charley caught up in their drama which causes a lot of problems. Charley is attracted to Donavan which pisses me off because she knows Reyes lives and breathes for her. The cast of characters are interesting and ever-growing. Oh…and Charley’s dad seems to have gone off his rocker. Charley hasn’t spoken to him because he had her arrested while she was in the hospital recovering from her torture. He does something in this book that is even crazier. As the saying goes, “the plot thickens.” www.paranormalromanceslut.com Another fun read. I listened to it fir the first time. Some of the silly snarkiness seemed over the top here. I'm not sure if that is because it was or that listening to it made it stand out more. Yeah for the developing relationship between Charlie and Reyes. Boo because I almost cried at one point when I realized a certain character was already dead and was a ghost. Maybe there was a clue earlier and I just missed it somehow. Still I continue to love this series and am ready to go on with the series. Our intrepid hero, the Grim Reaper herself, Charley Davidson, is having a really bad time. After being attacked and tortured at the end of the last book, Charley is afraid to leave her house. Her friends and family are trying to pull her out of this, and luckily, a case comes along that convinces her to get out among the living again (you see what I did there?).. A young woman comes to her asking for help because she thinks someone is trying to murder her. She has been terrorized most of her life and everyone else, especially her family, feel like she's crazy and is imagining things, and Charley can definitely relate to that. So, she sets out to save this young woman's life, and perhaps save herself a bit, too. As usual, Darynda Jones has written a compelling book full of romance, intrigue, humor, and adventure. Throw in Reyes, Cookie, Amber, Gemma, etc., and you can't lose! And did I mention Mr. Sexy himself, Reyes? Yeah, he deserves to be listed twice. And sarcasm? Because there's tons of that as well! I enjoyed this book very much and highly recommend it. I look forward to moving on to book 5!! 5/5 stars. *** I would like to thank NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Darynda Jones for the opportunity to read and review this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

These books remind me of how the True Blood books make me feel. I think the Reyes thing is overdone a little bit here and there but that's OK. Because, he is larger than life. I mean, he's the Son of Satan! ( )
