Sixth Grave on the Edge (Charley Davidson, #6)

by Darynda Jones

[EBookObsessed]

Charley has an evil plan to hook up her BFF and her Uncle Bob. The question is –is it more dangerous than her plan to get back her client’s soul from a demon known as “The Dealer.”
Charley Davidson is a private investigator and grim reaper. She can speak to the departed, which makes solving their deaths so much easier. Charley sometimes works with Uncle Bob, a detective with the Albuquerque Police Department to solve crimes.

NOTE: There might be small spoilers here on the emerging relationship between Charley and Reyes since the last book. You’ve been warned.

Charley has come up with a brilliant plan–maybe not so brilliant as evil–to get her Uncle Bob to ask out Cookie. She is setting Cookie up on a series of dates to make Uncle Bob jealous so he will finally work up the nerve to ask Cookie out himself. There is no way this won’t work. Right?

Charley has a new client. He needs helping getting back something he traded away — his soul. Charley is going to find “the Dealer,” a demon who is tricking individuals out of their souls. After spending months trying to protect Charley from demons, he is less then excited that she is going out looking for one and without him.

It seems the Dealer was a former slave who fought like a gladiator in the pits of hell but managed to escape even without Reyes’s key. A powerful enough demon to hold his own against the son of Satan.

The Dealer is willing to make a deal with Charley for her client’s soul, but can one every truly trust a demon.

Driving her car has become a little…complicated since she has a new passenger, naked old guy–excited, naked old guy. He must have been taking some Viagra before he died. Not only can’t she get him to talk, but he doesn’t seem interested in leaving. But naked old guy might be better than her resident corner dweller, Mr. Wong. Quentin, Pari and even Angel are starting to convince her that Mr. Wong isn’t your typical departed. He’s giving off an aura of power that Charley has never noticed before.

Charley also needs to go talk to Rocket, but after she almost attacked his little sister, Charley isn’t sure she will be welcomed at the abandoned asylum.

But someone does want to speak to Charley, or at least follow her around. APD Capt. Eckert is watching Charley. Is he trying to figure out how Charley is solving crimes for her Uncle or does he have a more devious reason for watching her every move?

THOUGHTS:
I love this series and the characters created by Darynda Jones. I gave my old ipod to my friend and we are in a bit of a race to finish. We were dying to talk about what’s going on in the series, but at this point we started overlapping so we couldn’t share without ruining it for each other.

If you like paranormal romance, definitely give this series a try. And I would highly recommend the audiobooks performed by Lorelei King. She truly brings the characters to life, especially Charley.

The binge audiobooks is having one bizarre side effect. All my thought are now in the voices of Charley and I tried writing an email the other day which was dictated in my head by both Charley and Cookie. I might have to check myself in for counseling soon.
