This is one of my favorite series. I like how Darynda Jones can take a dark subject matter such as the grim reaper and make it funny and light. Too much nowadays there's just dark and depressing books out there filled with angst. I like reading something where the characters are put through a lot and struggle a lot, but it doesn't bring be down. 
 Charley is such a quirky character. I don't think there's really another character like her in any of he books I've currently read. Sure there are characters with humor, but Charley takes it to the next level for sure. 
 This book picks up a couple of weeks after Charley has bound Reyes to his corporeal body. He isn't happy to say the least, but I liked that Charley actually got to interact with his in the flesh. He sets Charley on the mission to find his "father", the one that he supposedly killed ten years ago, to prove that Reyes is innocent. 
 This book dealt a lot with trust. We see different levels of deception on the part of certain characters all because they felt that they couldn't trust Charley. Like I said before though because of Darynda Jones's great writing skill this doesn't bring the book down at all. Charley is still able to get into hilas shenanigans on her own. 
 I have to give Darynda Jones more credit in the fact that there were things predicted at the beginning of this book to happen by the end of the book that I thought I figured out, but Jones decided to throw us for a loop. I don't like being able to guess at the outcomes of books, so when it gets to the end and I'm surprised, I think the book did a good job. 
 This is definitely a series to read. I don't know the plans for continuing the series, but I hope we get a few more books. There's been quite a bit set up regarding upcoming events and I would like to see where Jones takes her characters. Until Then!
