Third Grave Dead Ahead

If you follow my blog, you will quickly realize this is the 3rd installment in Darynda Jones' "Charley Davidson" series, which I really enjoy when I want a little light reading with a kick-ass female protagonist and a dose of the supernatural (for other books like that see Gail Carriger, Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Kim Harrison, etc.). For a little more background on Charley Davidson, aka The Grim Reaper, you can also read my earlier posts.
Fueled by gallons of caffeine, Charley has gone days without sleep--on purpose--because every time she goes to sleep, handsome and sexy son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, invades her dreams and he seems pretty upset with her. Maybe it is because she bound his spirit to his human body just when he was trying to leave it, and now he is back in jail. He tells her he is sure that the man he was convicted of killing, his sadistically abusive foster father is actually alive and Charley is determined to find him and free Reyes. The self-induced insomnia is making Charley a little crazy, however, and she jumps at the chance to find a "missing wife" even though she can sense that her client, the husband is guilty as sin about something. In the process, she checks in with Rocket, her one-stop fount of info regarding all those who have "passed," has a falling out with her ex-detective dad who wants her to stop being a PI, and helps a biker gang avenge the death of one of their dogs.
