Part-time PI and full-time grim reaper, Charley Davidson has asked a lot of questions throughout her life: Why can I see dead people? Who is the hot supernatural entity following me? How do I get gum out of my sister's hair before she wakes up? But, "How do I trap not one god, but three?" was never among them. Until now. And since those gods are on earth to kill her daughter, she has little choice but to track them down, trap them, and cast them from this dimension. But one of them stole her heart a very long time ago. Can a god of absolute death and destruction change his omniscient spots, or will his allegiance lie with his brothers? Those are just some of the questions Charley must answer, and quick. Add to that a homeless girl on the run for her life, a man who's been framed for murdering a woman who is still very much alive, and a pendant made from god glass that has the entire supernatural world in an uproar, Charley has her hands full. If she can manage to take care of the whole world-destroying-gods thing, we're saved. If not, well...… (plus d'informations)

I like everything except the plot ( )

Well, Charley Davidson is back and boy has her life gotten complicated! Besides being the grim reaper, a god, a wife and a mother, she's still a very talented PI who has a very high solve rate due to her special abilities. I mean, when you can talk to ghosts, you kind of have an inside track on the goings on of the spirit world. That being said, the other supernatural stuff she is dealing with has massive life and death consequences, and Charley will need to lean on her support system now more than ever because some big things are going down, and she is going to need to be ready for anything. Cookie and Ubie, Osh and Garrett are as dependable as ever, but Reyes has been distant ever since they came back from New York. It turns out both Charley and Reyes are keeping some pretty big secrets, and the question is whether they will be able to come together in time to prevent world shattering disaster from happening.

As usual, Charley's humor and snarkiness make this book a very enjoyable and quick read. The characters never grow stale, and the pacing is getting quicker and quicker as questions are answered and new problems are revealed. I love this series so much and can't wait to read the next installment!

Highly recommend - 5 very enthusiastic stars. ( )

I liked this but it didn't wow me. There was a lot going on and some of it didn't really play well into the story particularly the bits with the people following Charley to report on her. That seemed just shoe horned in. And there didn't seem any real point in it and it didn't really go anywhere. I was glad there was an actual mystery for Charley and Cookie to solve. The parts that shone for me were Charlie and Reyes together. ( )

Charley is trying her best to get her life a little bit under control and understand what the universe is looking for from her. I'm just not sure...after the baby and then the "amnesia" this book feels like it's trying to sew some frayed seams. ( )

Ignoring the dead girl standing next to me, I crossed my bare feet on the cool windowsill, took a sip of piping-hot coffee, and watched the emerging sunrise from my third-story apartment window.

Charley Davidson. Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's caffeine.
