The Curse of Tenth Grave (Charley Davidson, #10)

by Darynda Jones

Part-time PI and full-time grim reaper, Charley Davidson has asked a lot of questions throughout her life: Why can I see dead people? Who is the hot supernatural entity following me? How do I get gum out of my sister's hair before she wakes up? But, "How do I trap not one god, but three?" was never among them. Until now. And since those gods are on earth to kill her daughter, she has little choice but to track them down, trap them, and cast them from this dimension. But one of them stole her heart a very long time ago. Can a god of absolute death and destruction change his omniscient spots, or will his allegiance lie with his brothers? Those are just some of the questions Charley must answer, and quick. Add to that a homeless girl on the run for her life, a man who's been framed for murdering a woman who is still very much alive, and a pendant made from god glass that has the entire supernatural world in an uproar, Charley has her hands full. If she can manage to take care of the whole world-destroying-gods thing, we're saved. If not, well...

... With every book I hope I see the relationship between Reyes and Charlie make sense. And with every book I am disappointed. It seems so ... superficial. If someone asked me why she loved him, I would say it's because he is apparently the most beautiful being to ever grace this planet. I think maybe the focus is always too much on his looks and not enough on anything else. It's more the pretty boy with the tough past with a golden heart. But there isn't any substance to him. I am not sure if that is because we are seeing things totally from Charlie's POV and she is just shallow or if maybe I skipped a book somewhere (I didn't) or what, but it just isn't sincere to me.

That being said, there is a lot of humor in these books, and that is probably the only reason I will continue. Though if the series continues on for much longer I will probably just walk away. I don't like never-ending series.
