Charley Davidson is the reaper, but she prefers
to ignore the grim part. With 12 hellhounds on her tail she and her hunky
husband, Reyes, aka son of Satan, take refuge in a convent while Charley
incubates the spawn of their union. Um, I mean, their daughter, temporarily
named Beep who, according to prophecy, is destined to destroy Lucifer, her
grandfather. But Lucifer isn’t sitting around waiting for his doom at dainty
hands. He has plan after contingency plan at the ready and with centuries to
plot he’s confident he’ll prevail. But Charley is unpredictable. And not
technically human. So who will win?
Oh.Em.Gee!! Twistier and twistier does this tail
become the further it goes. What the hell?! Just when I think I have a handle
on the plot it veers off into left field. Or right field. Or straight over the
fence and out of the damn park! Full of the trademark humor, mystery and snappy
dialogue typical of this series, this book continues to vastly entertain. I
knew once I cracked it open I wouldn’t be able to stop until I finished the
last page. And I was right. Except for a few essential events that required me
to put it down (driving, for one) I read it straight through to the end. And
what an end it is! I’ll say again…what the hell?! When is the next book due
out?! Because, damn!
This sounds like a great series. I hadn't heard of it before. When I catch-up on my other series books I will have to check this one out. Looks like there are nine books so far... ~sigh~
ReplyDeleteBook 9 won't be out until January. *sobs* But you have to read this series! Do it in December, as a Christmas pressie. :D
