All I can say is WOW!!!! And Reyes...double WOW. This story is amazing.

Charley Davidson is a kick-ass heroine who gets her ass handed to her nightly (she really needs to learn how to fight). Luckily she has a guardian angel to save her from death time and time again. Charley is the Grim Reaper which really just means she sees dead people and helps them move on to the next world. She also uses her ability to see ghosts to help her cop uncle solve crimes. In addition to the death elements, the book is extremely erotic. Charley has majorly erotic dreams of Reyes and when she finds out he is a real person, she stops at nothing to find him.

I can't wait for her next adventure and hope that Reyes reappears for more nightly fun and games. Charley uses sarcasm as a means of communication which provides some much needed levity with the whole death and dying theme. This passage totally cracked me up. She's talking to a cop who just learned of her abilities and doesn't quite believe her.

"I mean, how does it work?"
"Well."
"Do you see dead people all the time?"
"Every other weekend and holidays."
"Are they, you know, everywhere?"
"Is a frog's ass watertight?"
