*If you have not read book one, stop now!*
When Charley is rudely awakened in the middle of the night by her best friend who tells her to get dressed quickly and tosses clothes out the closet at her, she can’t help but wonder what Cookie’s up to. Leather scrunch boots with a floral miniskirt? Together? Seriously?
After dragging Charley out the door and trying unsuccessfully to stuff her into a trunk—mostly ‘cause Charley pitches a fit—Cookie finally explains that a friend of hers named Mimi disappeared five days earlier and that she just got a text from her setting up a meet at a coffee shop downtown. They show up at the coffee shop, but no Mimi. After a brief investigation, Charley finds a message on the bathroom wall. Mimi left a clue, a woman’s name. They head to the parking lot only to be accosted by a frantic husband with a gun. After some soothing words and a few deep breathing exercises, the husband, aka Warren Jacobs, hires Charley to find his wife. He explains that his wife had been acting strange since she found out an old friend of hers from high school had been found murdered a couple weeks prior. The same woman Mimi had named in her message.
Meanwhile, Reyes Alexander Farrow (otherwise known as the Son of Satan. Yes. Literally) has left his corporeal body and is haunting Charley. He’s left his body because he’s being tortured by demons who want to lure Charley closer. But Reyes can’t let that happen. Because if the demons get to Charley, they’ll have a portal to heaven. And if they have a portal to heaven…well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be pretty. Can Charley handle hot nights with Reyes and even hotter days tracking down a missing woman? Will Cookie ever get a true fashion sense? And is there enough coffee and chocolate in the world to fuel them as they do?
I’m now a suscriber! Thank you for the giveaway!
Exciting! I have heard so many great things about this series!
After reading the blurbs for both books, I have to tell you. They look like keepers. I’d love to have both of them in my personal library. I know my eldest son would grab them for a weekend of reading.
I would love to read this
First Grave was amazing! I cannot wait for second. Thank you for that great cover shot! I cannot wait.
Great cover! Love the premise and characters sound like fun. I’d love to read Second Grave on the Left.
I would love to read this! It sounds awesome!
First Grave on the Right was a great read – fun, fast-paced and totally “sexified” (to borrow one of my nine year old nephew’s new words). Can’t wait to read this one!
I liked the blurb. I want!!
It will be added to my TBR list.
I haven’t read the first book yet, but I think I’ll be going to amazon in a few minutes. Sure would love to read this book. Lots of mystery, conflict, and romance. Great stuff.
This series looks so fun, and I really enjoyed the excerpts for both of these stories.
