"It was fine to listen to on the way to and from work. Not super smart and doesn’t require a ton of attention. "
"I love this story. There is sass and ***** and action and it is all around entertaining. Charley is such an awesome woman and then you add in the Grim Reaper business and she is the best. I really like the darker edge the "Big Bad" gives to the story and the awesome turns that happen. This is a great read and highly worth reading. I pretty much fell in love with Charley and her attitude from page one."
"I bought this one when it first came out. But I haven't read it until now. I don't know why I put it off, but I wish I hadn't (but also grateful because the first 3 books were out so I could get those right away too). I played around with the samples of this for the audiobook and it was off putting. I didn't like the reader. At all. So, I pushed this to the bottom of my tbr pile. What a mistake! This is definitely a new favorite series that I'm obsessing over!<br/><br/>I love Charley. She's a tough chick who isn't afraid of anything but who she has dubbed as the Big Bad. Being a consultant with the police department, she's able to help those who've been murdered bring their murders to justice when other methods fail. That right there was very intriguing for me and what got me hooked to the first book. I like that she just doesn't deal in ghosts. She has a job in the real world, being a private investigator (and consultant). She uses her gifts to help out her field, but she doesn't isolate herself. She has friends and family who love and care for her. Most authors avoid giving their heroine such strong ties, because it can hinder the story. Not so here. In fact, it is her ties to her family and friends that really help Charley show the reader just what kind of person she is.<br/><br/>Reyes. What can I say besides "hubba, hubba!!" The man is fine! A little bad boy attitude, a little mysterious flare, rock hard body. It's the makings for the ultimate love interest. I can't get enough. I was even slightly disappointed I didn't see more of him in this one. You know, like in every page. But, you know, there is more to the story than one devilishly handsome man.<br/><br/>Move over vampires and werewolves, there is a new leader in the paranormal romance genre. And her name is Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper."

"This is a fantastic supernatural romantic comedy series. It is very similar to Jeanine Frost's type of writing in the Cat and Bones series. Absolutely one of my favorite series!I would absolutely read this again. I laughed nonstop. Darynda Jones is definitely one of my new favorite authors. The audio book narrator does a superb job of bringing the characters to life with the different voices and reading style so try that if you prefer that format."

"I listened to this book and it was so funny my hubby came in to check on me. I felt like Lorelai Gilmore was telling me a story and I adored every minute. Honestly, read the whole series. "

"No I really couldn’t say, it’s been a really long time since I read it. I just know her books make me laugh"
