Charley Davidson isn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill grim reaper. She's more of a paranormal private eye/grim reaper extraordinaire. However, she gets sidetracked when the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves in next door. To further complicate matters, Reyes is her main suspect in an arson case. Charley has vowed to stay away from him until she can find out the truth...but then dead women start appearing in her apartment, one after another, each lost, confused, and terrified beyond reason. When it becomes apparent that her own sister, Gemma, is the serial killer's next target Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyes' help. Arsonist or not, he's the one man alive who could protect Gemma no matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in return. Charley. All of her, body and soul. And to keep her sister safe, it is a price she is willing to pay.

Charley Davidson is at it again in Fifth Grave Past the Light, the sexy, suspenseful, and laugh-out-loud funny fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling series by Darynda Jones.

Ratings and reviews

Number five in the series. Charley’s signature humor and snark is there, along with the requisite serial killer. In this edition there is arson, more pain and tribulations. The question is why is everything that happens around our main characters basically the same as in the previous books. Still this book was entertaining and another good read.

Not as fun and action packed as the first four books. BUT loved it all the same. It was great. I'm dying to know how Charley and Reyes end up. Does she have to take his life or will she get to love him for all time? I can't wait to find out. And thank goodness her Dad got rid of the trash! Yay!!!

Yet another highly entertaining, laugh out loud, sexy, fun and chilling romantic adventure for Charley and all her family and friends.... so many exciting things happen in this book, two count them two mysteries to solve, a possible cheating husband to catch and as always the on going mystery of her love life... Loved every heart pounding twist and turn in this exciting journey and look forward to more to come. These charter and this world are on my top ten favorite worlds to visit of all time.
