Continuation on the Grim Reaper series! 3rd 4th & 5th book reviewed.

Third Grave Dead Ahead.... Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet..... & Fifth Grave Past The Light 
By Darynda Jones




3rd: I abso-fricken-lutely love this series. There is so much mystery, if you like SVU and murder type mysteries you've got to get your hands on these books! Continuing the drama in this and more thrilling escapes that Charley makes is so delicious! I just don't want to stop reading this. Ever! I do like with each book you don't technically need to read the one before it. Darynda brushes up what's been going on in the one before it in the beginning of each one.
4th: I think I could read this series for a loooong time. There's enough mystery and drama in Charley's life I don't get bored with it. I always want to figure out how in the the hell these people died and who killed them. I am fond of a couple of the guys Charley flirts with such as Garrett Swopes and the biker dude Donovan that frequents the asylum next to her dad's bar. If they could please be sent my way I would so greatly appreciate it. Can this please be made into a t.v show?!? Oh please oh pleeeeassse!!!!!!?!!?
5th: To say this series is awesome is an understatement. This book was just as great as the rest of them!!!! I can't wait for the next. Charley is so funny and such a beautiful character. I just love it.
But for those of you who weren't feelin' this series I tried to keep it short and simple so I can move onto the next, hopefully amazing, read! xoxox

kiss approved :***** 5/5

Mystery? OR Should It Be History?!?!?! Second Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones


Can we just say snuck instead of sneaked??? I don't like it, 'proper' english or not. haha. But. For realsies through these two books every time I read 'sneaked' I couldn't help but cringe and in my mind say SNUCK! I'm weird. I know. But can someone agree with my thinking here???

You really can't help but love Charley throughout these books. If you like good sarcasm, a girl with spunk-vinegar- and a wholelottaspice you'll love it! She is so quirky and thinks of the greatest things to say. Things I wish my brain thought of in time and not after the fact... the "OH I SOOO SHOULD'VE SAID THAT!" (we all do it) You can't help but smirk or shake your head.

I'm happy this book has new mysteries and keeps you guessing. I will be honest I "thought" that I could guess the murderer and get in front/stay one step ahead of the book but yeah fricken right. Frustratingly enough (in a good way ;) ) with each twist and turn I was thrown off and was cliff hanging at the end!
Adventurous and as thrilling if not more-so than the first a great paranormal meets Private Investigator smorgasbord! Get ready for a ringer, it's gonna leave you wanting more in mid-air!!!!

KISS APPROVED! :**** 4/5

A Killing? Or A Slow Torture?!?!?! First Grave On The Right by Darynda Jones




When my friend from work told me about this book series she definitely peaked my interest... the next day she hands the first three books to me. 
YIPEEE!!! 
For all you lovers of books you'll probably understand this but it's like someone gave me a box of chocolates! <3 Instead of my mouth watering, my brain was ready to read! Now, when I read the back of the book :/ that was a different story. It honestly was kind of a turn off. But needless to say I gave it a chance and instantly fell in love with the grim reaper... aka, our lovely heroine of the story, Charley Davidson. 
This book is something I can see being made into a t.v. series. ABC family... someone... get on this!!!!!! I'd like Nina Dobev (Elena Gilbertson from vampire diaries) to be Charley Davidson... and Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvador from vamp diaries) as Reyes. PLEASE someone back me up on this!@#*
Anywho! This book is SVU meets paranormal which I believe they did do a tv series somewhat like this... that was called the Dead Files?.. but I highly doubt it even came close to how this book made me feel. I was hooked as soon as I started reading. It's funny and witty, thrilling and mysterious, sexy and tempting. Oh I just loved it ok!?
It keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing like any good murder mystery does. So if you like some romance, some sarcasm, some murder mystery, some paranormal... allll mixed in one check it out!
I only hope it doesn't get any more harlequinny... I've decided I'm more of a PG13 girl. And this book wasn't bad at all so don't get me wrong. But I can get the hint that he wants her, and she has sex with him, lalalala, without any lady or maley parts being mentioned...sometimes I'm a sissy haha but Don't let it frighten you off. It was mentioned like twice throughout the whole book, no biggie. 
Just going on a I want to have an innocent read rave. LOL 
Kiss aaaaprooved ;**** 4/5
