Book Review: Seventh Grave and No Body (Charley Davidson) by Darynda Jones

Seventh Grave and No Body is the next book in the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. I am still binge reading, and still recommend reading the series in order. Not only will it make the read more fun, but it is well worth the time. 

Twelve of the deadliest beasts ever forged in the fires of hell have escaped onto our plane, and they want nothing more than to rip out the jugular of Charley Davidson and serve her lifeless, mangled body to Satan for dinner. So there’s that. But Charley has more on her plate than a mob of testy hellhounds. For one thing, her father has disappeared, and the more she retraces his last steps, the more she learns he was conducting an investigation of his own, one that has Charley questioning everything she’s ever known about him. Add to that an ex-BFF who is haunting her night and day, a rash of suicides that has authorities baffled, and a drop-dead sexy fiancé who has attracted the attentions of a local celebrity, and Charley is not having the best week of her life.

Seventh Grave and No Body is full of fun twists and turns, and plenty of grin worthy comments from Charley. The books are starting to get more intense and emotional, but there is still the humor of Charley's ADD fueled comments and mental tangent. Charley and the group are dealing with huge issues, and taking the time to figure out how they are always making each other angry and having misunderstandings is low on their priority list, but I think a few heart to hearts might have lowered everyone's stress level in several instances. I will admit that I really read these books for the humor, snark, and heat because reading is my escape. However, I am fully invested in these characters and while I prefer the snark to the sap I am still thoroughly enjoying the series and am currently moving onto the next read. I know there are plenty of though moments coming but I there will be plenty of fun waiting for me as well.
