“Darynda Jones revisits the sexy, suspenseful world of supernatural shenanigans she created in her Grave series with For I Have Sinned. In this Charley Davidson story, Charley helps a woman find out how she died and gives her the closure she needs to pass through to the other side.”

This is a very short Charley Davidson story which stands alone well. I have had this forever to read and just finally got around to reading it. Most of this book on Kindle is dedicated to a preview of the first Charley Davidson story; the actually story in here is a very quick read (maybe took me 10 – 15 minutes to read).

The story is told from the perspective of a ghost that doesn’t know how she died but suspects she committed suicide. Her and Charley work to track down her story and help her find rest.

This was a very sweet and touching story. I enjoyed seeing Charley from a ghost’s perspective. I also enjoyed seeing what the ghost thought about how Charley and Reyes interacted together.

Overall this is a sweet and touching quick short story. I would recommend if you are a fan of Charley Davidson, but don’t expect a ton of content here.
