Tuesday Reviews: Summoned to the Thirteenth Grave by Darynda Jones

 

Grim Reaper Charley Davidson is back in the final installment of Darynda Jones’ New York Times bestselling paranormal series!

Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper extraordinaire, is pissed. She’s been kicked off the earthly plain for eternity – which is the appropriate amount of time to make a person starkraving mad. But someone’s looking out for her, and she’s allowed to return after a mere hundred years in exile. Is it too much to hope for that not much has changed? Apparently it is. Bummer.

She’s missed her daughter, she’s missed Reyes, and Beep, but now that she’s back on earth, it’s time to put to rest burning questions that need answers. What happened to her mother? How did she really die? Who killed her? And are cupcakes or coffee the best medicine? It all comes to a head in an epic showdown between good and evil in this final smart and hilarious novel.

One day.

That’s all it literally took. One single day for me to devour the end of my all-time favorite series. Hours if I were being truthful despite my attempts on trying to drag it out as much as possible because surely this isn’t the end to Reyes Alexander Farrow and Charley’s story. But as a I turned to the last page, it surely was. The end. No more coffee jokes or sexual innuendos. No more namely random objects or body parts. Sigh. I need coffee and a counselor. Stat.

Summoned to the Thirteenth Grave was the end all. The last, but so flipping good end to Charley and Reyes’ ill-fated romantic series. Because I received an early ARC, there’s not much that I can say at this point, but this story is amazing. Simply brilliant. Jones’ took everything about this series, the highs, the lows, the twists and turns, and created such a beautiful ending to such an intoxicating thrill ride of a romance. It’s not what you would expect, but at the same time it is. Jones’ leaves just the smallest crack open for the continuation of this series in relation to Beep, which gives me hope that this isn’t the last time we will see Reyes and Charley in action. Just like the ending, I am left speechless and wondering one simple question.

What’s next?
