Another charming Grim Reaper book! Oh Charley, I just can't believe the things you do and say, I love you! She's just so entertaining with her verbal comments and how she thinks about things. Sometimes I really wonder how a private investigator can think like this and seem so immature, but whatev- Charley gets things done in her own way! 
 This second book has Charley looking for a missing friend of Cookie's. We meet more departed and it doesn't get old! Darynda has a knack of putting flavor to characters that only appear for a couple pages or even less! Let's see.. there's action (gun shootings in fact), a mystery that has to be solved, more on Charley's family, and lots more progress on the Reyes storyline. OMG, you're gonna freak when you read about a rich lady who's obsessed with Reyes and what she ends up doing! 
 Reyes is so unique to me- he's a badass who's obviously really really REALLY into Charley. But I can't really describe his thing for her as love, I don't know why. Maybe my perception on this will change later on. More like he was programmed to be obsessed with Charley and he knows that no matter what happens, Charley will always be his. I like how he's always been watching out for her so I know he's gotta care although he doesn't really say that. There WAS this one line where he says something about breathing for Charley.. can't even remember what the exact line but it was very sweet. Besides that, I can't recall any other lovey dovey type of scenes, more like intense, consuming lust and domination (but not in an S&M type of way). 
 Not a must read before you die (it comes close!) and yes, read it if you want to be entertained! It'll definitely crack you up. Geez I can't wait for when Charley and Reyes hook up (for real!)
