4.5⭐️ A solid series starter!

Meet Charley Davidson, PI & grim reaper, although you wouldn't know it by looking at her. She sees dead people & helps them cross into the light. Sometimes the dead die in a sketchy way and they want Charley to find out why & bring them justice. This is where her PI skills come in handy. ⤵️

eri.reads One thing that she can rely on when she runs into trouble is the dark entity that appears and helps her out, but is he dead or alive? Is he even human? 6mo

Remember that time I was going to update all January's reads and challenges? Yeah, I haven't finished that. Moving on! 😅

Reread. Witty. Funny. Sarcastic. Sexy. Grim Reaper. Ghosts. Murder. Read it!

Is there really anything more you need to know about this book? 🤣🤣

Ever be in the mood for something specific to read but you aren't exactly sure what that is or if you have it? That's me tonight. After a long, long scouring of the shelves I found an old favourite I haven't resd in years. Thinking it might just hit the spot tonight!!

Please ignore the giant pile of stuffies. I know Pooh Bear is judging me but they belong upstairs and that's just too far right now 🤣

I am not exaggerating when I say Reyes Alexander Farrow has ruined me for all men, and if he wasn‘t so in love with Charlie, I would fight for him. Down and dirty fisticuffs fight for him.

This is easily one of my favorite series. The Grimm Reaper is one of my top ten character and this may be my all time favorite cast.

Got my #bookspinbingo board done & got to color off a square.

This was an incredibly fun, snarky take on a grim reaper. I love Charley‘s sense of humor & her relationship with her friend Cookie. I also found the idea of a grim reaper helping lost souls find peace & pass through her to the other side a fascinating take. I‘ll definitely continue the series.
Thanks @DebinHawaii for your post that pushed me to finally check my library & start this!

MeganAnn My #bookspin this month is the next book from my reread of The Hollows series. #doublespin is a book from the library which I visited yesterday to return some titles and cam home with four more. So I should easily get to both of these this month! @TheAromaofBooks 2y
DebinHawaii Yay! I am glad you enjoyed it. It‘s a fun series. Speaking of series, my library e-book hold just came in this morning for the second book in the Hollows series.I like that in addition to #BWS boxes, we both “swapped” a new series to enjoy! 🤗📚 2y

My November #bookspin list.

📚This month it‘s back to categories, including a new category for number 9: A book from a previous book spin list. Since I never read all 20 books on my list and change it each month, I thought this would be a fun way to go back and look through those to choose.

🖤Also continuing my Hollows reread.

✨Added a few titles from Halloween swaps and some titles I thought I might feel in the mood for this month.

MeganAnn Currently reading the tagged book which so far is a lot of fun! ☠️😊✨ 2y

I think that thirteen books with ‘grave‘ in their title make up a pretty good #graveyard so I am picking the Charley Davidson series for today‘s prompt. It‘s a favorite of mine!🖤👻🦇💀🤍🪦

If you haven‘t read this paranormal series, it would be great for #scarathlon #teamhendrix or #screamathon or really any October #TBR Start with the tagged book.

Don‘t Fear The Reaper - Charley Davidson is the grim reaper in Darynda Jones‘s series. From one of the books:

“Ask me about life after death.” T-shirt often seen on Charley Davidson, a grim reaper with questionable morals

Still playing catch-up!

I‘m a little surprised it took me so long to start this series. Charlie is a PI, assists her police detective uncle, and helps the dead to the other side as the grim reaper. Her life is a bit chaotic.

I enjoyed this. It does remind me a lot of the Stephanie Plum series and I don‘t think that is just due to Lorelei King‘s narration. I will pick up the next one when I want something light and fun. #Screamathon #BookspinBingo

Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones

The grim reaper is a PI named Charley Davidson, who drives a red Jeep named Misery. She‘s also named her breasts (Danger & Will Robinson) & her ovaries (Beam Me Up & Scotty). Her best friend is Cookie Kowalski.

A super fun series with fun chapter sayings, like “Genius has its limitations. Insanity . . . not so much.”

The awesome Lorelei King narrates the audiobooks.

FantasyChick Yes, yes, YES!!!! Also...kind of jealous because I am still having a hard time finding some of the hardcovers to complete my collection 😍😍 4y

Great start to the series! This book was good and now I'm kicking myself for not reading it sooner. I call it a urban paranormal book with a touch of romance. Charlotte Davidson, aka Charley, is a PI who happens to see dead people and talk to them. You can do that when you are the grim reaper. It sure makes the job easier if you can ask the ghost who killed them! No spoilers so read to.find out how she solves the latest murder. 4⭐

While this book has a similar feel to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series (one of my fluffier pleasures), I was dismayed by the violent portrayal of a sexual relationship. Aspects of the way it was written clearly qualify as sexual assault and rape, even though other interchanges are consensual. I might have been interested in continuing the series for character development and humor. I won't now.

I'm trying so hard to get some reading done today.

I must not look too hot because people keep bringing me barf bags. I'm gonna have a nice little collection by the time I go home. The book is good so far. When I'm able to focus.

Ever start a book and get an intense feeling of déjà vu? That was the main reason I began cataloging all my books on LibraryThing about 12 years ago. I got tired of getting halfway through a book and realizing I'd read it already. But according to LT I haven't read this one yet. Oh well. At least I'm enjoying it so far. 😁

LoverofLit Totally been there! 5y

Traci1 @PatienceFortitude haha. That's so funny. I accidentally reread The Secret Life of Bees a few months ago. I didn't check my catalog first, and I didn't realize til I was well into it that I'd read it before. But it was so good I decided I didn't care. 5y

This book has been on my TBR since 2011! Glad I finally got around to it. This is the first in the series and Charley Davidson is the grim reaper. It gave me a lot of Stephanie Plum vibes but with supernatural twists. I love finding the first in a series with so many to read. Fun book with quirky characters.

wanderinglynn @Stephaniereads1 ❤️ Katherine Hepburn! 5y
Dragon Which version of the Philadelphia story? I‘m guessing Kate Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart? Not the Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby version. 5y

mabell Arsenic and Old Lace!! ❤️❤️❤️ 5y
Jen_Reads Arsenic and Old Lace is such a great movie!! 5y
Stephaniereads1 Definitely Hepburn and Stewart. The Grace Kelly version is called High Society. It‘s not good sorry. @wanderinglynn have you watched Desk Set it‘s on Netflix and it is amazing! 5y
SailorMoon Thanks for playing!!! 🥰🌙 old school actors... they're the best!!! 5y
madamereadsalot1 Arsenic and Old Lace! 🙌 5y
wanderinglynn @Dragon the one with Hepburn. I‘ve never seen the remake. 5y
wanderinglynn @mabell @Jen_Reads @madamereadsalot1 Yes, it‘s so good! And proof that good movies don‘t need a big budget or special effects or lots of stunts. (edited) 5y
wanderinglynn @Stephaniereads1 Yes! I‘ve seen all of Katherine Hepburn‘s films (more than once). 😉 5y
madamereadsalot1 Definitely! My absolute favorite classic is Harvey. A giant invisible rabbit, and the special effects were nothing, and it was still magical and amazing! James Stewart didn't need someone in a green suit in front of a green screen to know his marks or act beleivably. Not to say there aren't fabulous actors now, but they had a lot less to work with then and still managed to pull off amazing stuff. 5y
wanderinglynn @madamereadsalot1 ❤️❤️❤️ Harvey! I love all the old movies. So many awesome ones. And the acting, amazing. 5y
Stephaniereads1 I loves all the old movies too. They are way better than the new stuff. 5y
Dragon @madamereadsalot1 I love 💕 that Pooka ! 🐰 5y
