“My entire life can be summed up in one sentence: “Well, that didn’t go as planned.” (T-shirt)
A typical day in the life of Charley Davidson involves cheating husbands, errant wives, missing people, philandering business owners, and, oh yeah…demons, hell hounds, evil gods, and dead people. Lots and lots of dead people.
As a part-time private investigator and full-time grim reaper, Charley has to balance the good, the bad, the undead, and those who want her dead. Now Charley is learning to make peace with the fact that she is a goddess with all kinds of power and that her own daughter has been born to save the world from total destruction.
But the forces of hell are determined to see Charley banished forever to the darkest corners of another dimension. With the son of Satan himself as her husband and world-rocking lover, will Charley be able to defeat the ultimate evil and find a way to have her happily ever after after all?”
This was the eleventh (and most recent) book in the Charley Davidson series. This series just keeps getting better and better with each book. This review will have spoilers if you haven’t read previous book in the series.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was very well done. Lorelei King continues to do a fantastic job narrating these books and I always look forward to listening to them.
Much of this book revolves around the mystery of the Fosters and their history with Reyes. Additionally there are something going on with UB that has Charley and Cookie concerned. On top of all of that, Charley and Reyes are both tracking what’s going on with their daughter and trying to make sure she stays safe and in hiding.
Many events also happen involving the God Glass and the Hell dimension and I am very curious to see where this storyline ends up.
This whole series has been highly entertaining, quirky, fun, and very well put together. I still think there is a bit too much rehashing of Reyes’s godly beautiful self, but I have learned to mostly ignore that and enjoy the story at this point.
Overall a wonderful continuation in this series. I am dying to know what happens next!!! I would recommend this whole series to those who enjoy quirky and humorous urban fantasy.
