Reprint. 150,000 first printing.

Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet

Sometimes being the grim reaper really is, well, grim. And since Charley's last case went so awry, she has taken a couple of months off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep, convinced someone is trying to kill her, Charley has to pull herself together. In the meantime, the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, is out of prison and out of Charley's life, as per her wishes and several perfectly timed death threats. But his absence has put a serious crimp in her sex life. While there are other things to consider, like the fact that the city of Albuquerque has been taken hostage by an arsonist, Charley is having a difficult time staying away. Especially when it looks like Reyes may be involved. Just when life was returning to normal, Charley is thrust back into the world of crime, punishment and the devil in blue jeans in this hilarious fourth instalment in the New York Times bestselling series.

           Although this was an enjoyable read I didn't like it as much as the two previous instalments in the series. This story focuses more on two of Charley's cases and less on the expected demon invasion (which, when it comes, isn't very impressive). It almost feels like the story is stuck and there is almost no development on the overall series plot. If it is meant to be because of Charley's PTSD then it makes sense, if not it's a shame.

What I did like in this instalment is the main characters' development. They seemed to be getting nowhere in the previous books but they evolve quite a bit here and get more depth, which is a really nice touch.

All in all this was an enjoyable read but just not as exciting as the rest of the series.

I love the Charley Davidson series! They are so easy to read and even though dangerous and deadly things happen to Charley, she always keeps her sense of humor. The books make me laugh out loud all the time. Plus, Darynda Jones makes her secondary characters equally as interesting and entertaining as Charley. I highly recommend these to anyone who just wants something fun to read, with a little bit of that paranormal romance thrown in. ;-)
