First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones

A smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper.

Charley sees dead people. That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to go into the light. But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she’s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.

This is a thrilling debut novel from an exciting newcomer to the world of paranormal romantic suspense

Charley Davidson is the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper.

Yes, I know what you're thinking. This is another 'I see ghosts stories'. But it's a damn good one! The way I see it, there are many ways to tell a story. And Darynda Jones does a spectacular job. I was hooked from the first chapter.

Charley is funny, and doesn't take herself serious. She has a bad case of ADD, that makes me laugh out aloud.

Somethings in the story didn't make sense to me, as in, how can she have a crush on someone who threatened to rape her. But then I figure, she is so weird and different, that it became understandable why she doesn't see things quite the way I would.

The story is sexy, sometimes light, sometimes just damn roll-on-the-floor-laughing-and-other-people-look-at-you-funny funny.

Congratulations to Darynda Jones for start out a series with a BAM!
