Brighter Than the Sun (Charley Davidson)

by Darynda Jones

Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper extraordinaire, has taken centre stage for too long. It's time for Reyes's side of the story . . .

Discover how Reyes met Charley; from Reyes' point of view: a Charley Davidson novella

All his life, Reyes Alexander Farrow has suffered the torments of the damned. Only one thing has given him hope: the woman who radiates a light that no mortals can see; a light that only the departed can see...

Told from his point of view, this novella chronicles the first time Reyes ever encountered Charley, and how their relationship has been the one thing that can either save him or doom him.

For fans of the Charley Davidson series Darynda Jones gives us Reyes Farrow's perspective in Brighter Than the Sun. While this was darker, and doesn't contain the humor I have come to love in the series, it was fascinating learning about Reyes' early childhood and encounters with Charley "Dutch". Fans will appreciate time spent with Reyes and his interactions with Charley, his sister and friends. While we knew a lot about his past from Charley's perspective it was interesting seeing and hearing Reyes tell his story. I knew his past was dark and difficult and loved the impact Charley had during these dark times. I love and admire Reyes and this only solidified my feelings for him. Now if only we could convince him. This review was originally posted on Caffeinated Book Reviewer
